David and I have an ongoing debate that will likely never be resolved. The debate is thus: which of Christopher Nolan’s movies is better, the Dark Knight or Inception? I vehemently argue for the former, my brother for the latter. This might make me some enemies in the online world, but frankly, I do not care. I liked Inception, but I did not find it the mind-blowing experience many other people did. I predicted the ending when I read a review of Inception on Slate–which isn’t to say that I’m especially smart, just that the ending was that predictable. Also, I am getting sick and tired of Leonardo DiCaprio’s furrowed brows. He is going to look eighty years old in a few months. Conversely, the Dark Knight is not only comic book-licious, it has Heath Ledger in the role of a lifetime. Also, Christian Bale in button-down shirts. Some actual surprises. And characters who are actually memorable instead of just “Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a vest”... Read the rest of this entry »

I used to dread my own wedding. I am not much one for “special days,” if that makes any sense, mostly because of the added pressure for everything to be perfect that often leads to everyone freaking out instead of enjoying the special day, which was the purpose of the special day to begin with. I always assumed that weddings cannot be fun–at least not for the bride and groom. They are usually too tired and stressed and stretched to the limit to remember anything, let alone enjoy it. However, last night I went to my cousin’s wedding, and I remembered why special days are actually kind of nice. The bride and groom actually seemed to be enjoying themselves. She looked beautiful. He was wearing a suit. Everybody in my family was there and dressed up and sitting together. Another cousin read a poem. Another made a drunken toast. We ate hummus and dolma and feta cheese and did a Turkish dance in a circle. Everybody got drunker and drunker and danced more... Read the rest of this entry »

I just ironed. Gasp!  I know!  Me?  Ironing?  Will wonders never cease? I hate to iron.  I think it stems back 12 years ago when I was putting the iron away on a shelf and it fell and landed on my pinky toe and broke it.  Ever since then, I have had a hate/hate relationship with the iron.  I don’t buy 100% cotton shirts.  #1, they shrink in the wash, even if you are careful.  And #2, they have to ironed.  So I just avoid them. But…(and here’s the really cool news, the whole reason why you are reading this post)… I get to sing in the choir for the General Relief Society Meeting in the Conference Center on September 25th!  I am so excited!  We have to wear a white, button up shirt for the choir.  So I had to go buy one.  Now, I know I am going to get a lot of you saying, “You could have borrowed one from me,” and my mom has already offered and I know I would fit in hers.  But I was thinking about it and... Read the rest of this entry »

Com um som denominado como Maritimi Pop , a Banda caiu no gosto dos Britânicos O The Guardian chama eles de “A Nossa nova favorita Banda” e o The Times de um ” Som Magico e grandioso”. A banda é Formada  por estudantes de Oxford e conduzido pelo cantor-autor de canções Brian Briggs, antigo ecologista e “admirador da natureza confesso”. As canções evocam as formas doces e as cores da zona rural britânica, misturando violões com instrumentos simples inclusive violinos, acordeões e um som metálico inconfundível de Bristol .

Raise your hand if you remember this show: I don’t remember it super well either, frankly. But I do remember that I had a Jem Girls lunch box. I wish I still had it … it’s probably worth money. As it true with lots of pop music, all of Jem’s songs pretty much sound the same. The other night, my pals and I were hanging out in our pajamas, eating sugary cereal and watching 80s cartoons (you wish you were this cool). While we were watching the first few episodes of this fabulous show, we started discussing the incredible music videos that punctuate each episode. Sometimes two or three per half hour! Bob: You realize that someone actually sat down and WROTE these songs? Me: I can do that. Bob: Could you? Me: Give me a topic and I will write a pop song right now. Bob: Before the end of this episode? [note: the episode was nearly over] Me: Sure. Bob: OK … um … the Burmese conflict! I finished it while the credits were rolling. Thelma, I dedicate... Read the rest of this entry »

Do you like MC Frontalot? I do. I especially like this song. It amuses me that I am sharing it here. Great, yes? Nerdcore fills my soul. So there are various genres of bad blogs, if you will, but one of my least favorites is the “album”-style blog, which consists exclusively of photos from personally significant events (usually vacations or some such) with minimal commentary, and no word-based posts to break the monotony of facefacefacebuildingbuildingSILLYfaceOMGSOBORING. Some people should just start a Flickr account, know what I’m saying? If you think I am talking about you, I am not. Anyway, I went on vacation last week and I regret to inform you that I am going to post some pictures now. Don’t worry, though, I will also post some stories to keep things interesting. The stories and the picture are not going to match most of the time. What, you think I need to post a photo of me white-water rafting if I am already GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT... Read the rest of this entry »

Foster the People é um grupo indie-pop de quatro meninos que vivem em Los Angeles, nos Estados Unidos. Mark Foster, Zach Heiligman, Mark Pontius e Cubbie Fink se juntaram no final de 2009, e a música Pumped Up Kicks os colocou como a nova promessa pós MGMT. Eles somam o quê criativo da banda precursora e já arrebatam elogios, como os do jornal britânico The Guardian, mesmo não tendo nenhum álbum lançado ainda.
