Thoughts on a Friday

-The mighty Ludwig van Beethoven's birthday is today.
-Some powerful musik right there.
-There was a girl in my Italian class a few years ago who was studying to be a music conductor.
-What a neat profession that would be.
-For some reason, I'd always had this idea that a career in the classical music field would be something wonderfully classy, full of professional concerts, musical celebrity introductions, after-parties, etc.
-But that idea, of course, is not usually the case. Especially the latter half! (Well, maybe sometimes.)
-And lots of practicing. Always important.
-I'm covered in dog hair; I need a lint roller or something.
-Boogy woogy Santa Claus.
-Sugar cookies sound lovely right now.
-I used to post recipes on here; what happened?
-Life would be my answer.
-Sugah cookeh.
-I think I smell a meme coming...
-How these people discover these things is beyond me.
-But I likes it.
-Hey hey, there's a vote on for the worst Christmas song ever!
-Hands down "Grandma Run Over by a Reindeer".
-Makes me wanna shoot myself whenever I hear it on the radio.
-I look on my sleeve, and I still see dog hair. Le sigh.
-Hope in gates, hope in spoons, hope in doors, hope in tables, no hope in daintiness and determination. Hope in dates. 
-If you have ever read Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons, then you know what I'm talking about.
-Ha, yeah right.
-A sudden slice changes the whole plate, it does so suddenly.
-What deep and mysterious place did she get those sentences from, I wonder.
-SALAD: it is a winning cake.
-And yes, I did happen to get these quotes from somewhere.
-Such a happy gingerbread! I think I shall leave you with that for today.

S#%! Girls Say

Some may find this offensive, but I find it hilarious. He is pretty much spot on for when it comes to women of this day and age! Right down to the facial expressions and body language; I'm pretty sure I know girls like that (if not act like that myself occasionally-har har). I can't quite put my finger on it, but his character reminds me of someone... Or someones.

Return of the King

Around this time of December back in 03', The Return of the King made its widely awaited premier in theatres. Remember?? Man, that was exciting! At my school, people actually skipped class to go see it on its opening day (how I wish I was one of them, had it not been for a test that day). I've been thinking about the movie a lot lately, so I guess it's just the time of year that I feel the urge to watch ROTK (or any of them!) one more time. (And ahhh my god, it won't be long til The Hobbit* comes out! Eeeeee!)

psst--when I was thirteen, I was absolutely smitten with Aragorn and his rugged good looks. No lie.

You know it's almost Christmas when...

Even the dogs are partaking in festivities!

People have no shame in dancing around a mall to their ipod, decked out in a snazzy Christmas sweater.

Friday Morning Meanderings

From here.

-Ugh, feeling like this at the moment.
-You're all fired. *collapses*
-I wish I were that dramatic in the workplace.
-Wait, what workplace?
-I'd like to introduce you to the pre Bonnie and Clyde Warren Beatty, my latest crush of the moment.
-I hurt.
-And I have dog hair on my pants.
-And it's grey outside.
-I guess it's just one of those days...
-I'm so glad I discovered this site, though.
-My thoughts are running short today.
-I may have to leave you in silence for the rest of the day.
-I wish I were more poetic.
-Let's see... Drink in this silence. Taste its bittersweet coolness; let it roll over your tongue, numbing your words with a poetic license to fill your senses and lose your taste.
-Thank goodness poetry doesn't have to make sense.
-Namaste.
