miss piggy, you dirty dirty muppet

In all my life and all my days....no video since the honey badger has made me swoon like this one...




I am a HUUUUUUUUUGE muppets fan. Every time I'm sick I watch Muppets Take Manhattan, I have the Fraggle Rock Boxed set, I met Big Bird once and kept his autograph (eventually got it framed... as an adult), and would probably fan out so hard (i.e blush, cry, maybe even pass out) if I was ever fortunate to go and meet Snuffleupagus (who has the prettiest eyelashes in the business)!!!

Well, I'm in a muppets mood so here is an homage to that!!!




Check the TUMBLR site for more muppsexicousness...

to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die

The Dum Dum Girls are always a surprise when they show up on my iTunes playlist... I just got their EP He Gets Me High and I must confess that I have been listening to this more than the new Radiohead.... eek! It's good. Take a listen and if you like, I'll send you a copy!

This is Andres and Matthew. They have been together 10 years and married for two. In the 6 years that I have known them, I have had the great pleasure to watch them evolve both as individuals and as a pair. I have never seen two people together as long as they have been, that still dig each other and consider the other the way these two do.

Their raw candid honesty, respect, and affection for one another is unmatched and one to be admired. They have set the bar for what a good relationship should look like and I am so lucky to have been able to witness this.



I dedicate this Valentine's Day to Matthew Schwartz and Andres Rigal. I love you guys wholly and wanted to send my thanks for letting me be part of your lives.

my heart is a lollipop








This band/song/album had really pulled on my heartstrings from the moment I heard it. Although, it conjures different feelings now, this one song in particular gives me a lump in my throat. MUST STOP LISTENING YET CAN'T STOP LISTENING!

The band is called Lovers.

Wednesday

sing me to sleep

Day 4 of bed rest and the pills I must take have me with awful dreams forcing me to wake with fret and fear... I can't really explain what I am so worried about but I know that once I realize I am no longer in a dreaming state of torment, the distance between what I have created as my home and my actual home feels greater than ever before.




I just want to sleep well and wake up when all of this is over with... when ever I would see my grandmother, after I would attack her with cuddles and kisses, I'd lay my head down in a "convenient" spot across her lap. This is univeral code in our family for "Play with my hair". There are also other poses that imply "scratch my back", "massage me please", and my personal favorite "lightly drag your fingertips across my arms"! The times that I most realize the distance are times like right now. When a stroke to my hair would put me at ease and hopefully to sleep!!!




I really do not like these drugs. I had to ask the doctor to stop prescribing me so many. And I actually went most of the day w/o taking them until I got checked by a thing known as "Ouch" but more like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUuuuuuuuuuCHHHH!"
followed by a couple "Why!?"s and "OH MY GAWWWWDDDDD NOOOOOOOOOO"! Throw some tears and you get the gist!

Hope sleep is with you. I am here envying you!

#7 & 8

7. Even genius (people/works/art/etc) is inspired from others. Radiohead's infamous 'Creep' was based of of The Hollies classic 'The Air that I Breathe' so much so that Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood were given cowriters' credits when Radiohead first released the single.





8. Believe people the first time they show you who they are. Don't let it change you. Don't become bitter or jaded. Sometimes people push the boundaries of our comforts and what we (individually) define as right vs wrong. People usually will not change, and if they do, it will most likely/if ever happen are only when you've been forced to just move on without them. This is not a bad thing.

i know its hard to heal a broken heart...















I remember getting my first copy of Use Your Illusion in the mail with that BMG deal where you could order 7 CDs for a penny! I read the liner notes and learned the lyrics to every song as I listened on repeat everyday before school, after school, during school.



I also remember watching the video for November Rain, getting sucked into it and thinking, "My goodness... what a sad wedding day but MY GOD she's so pretty!!" and thinking that when girls grew up,we just wake up in Stephanie Seymour's body. ***To be young again and completely oblivious again! **SIGH**

I stumbled across the band Lovers by accident. This album is at a mellower pace but god damn I think there are some tracks on here that are sexy as hell...



Seriously "Don't You Want it" is making me swoon with idealistic romantical fantasies "Barnacle", "Figure 8", and "Boxer" are all standouts as well.

If you don't like it... ummm... ok. cool. go away then...

they all sing the same song when they keep playing the same game






I just got out my little red book
The minute that you said goodbye
I thumbed right through my little red book
I wasn't gonna sit and cry
And I went from A to Z
I took out every pretty girl in town
They danced with me and as I held them

All I did was talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you... oh, no...

There ain't no girl in my little red book
Who could ever replace your charms
And each girl in my little red book
Knows you're the one I'm thinkin' of
Oh won't you please come back
Without your precious love I can't go on
Where can love be I need you so much

All I did was talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you... oh, no...

Oh won't you please come back
Without your precious love I can't go on
It's haunting me I need you so much

All I did was talk and talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you
All I did was talk and talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you... oh no
