Music Babe

I love music. I play it, I sing it, write it. I usually get inspired to write and play by buying and discovering new music. I live on a pretty tight budget these days, so discovering new music is super hard because listening to the 00:30 clips on iTunes isn't really enough. It's enough for me to think, "Oh man, that's so cool I want to hear..." That's when the clip ends. I sometimes look up stuff on YouTube but YouTube has terrible sound quality and I'm super picky about sound quality. For example, when I buy new headphones I need at least $100 in my pocket for some Bose or JBL. Someday I will get the really cool ones. You have to get a mold of your ear made and they custom make them to fit only you, and they are crazy noise reduction style.

Someday...

So, I'm perusing iTunes at this current moment and just fell in love with an album. It's only $7.99, so I'm think I should get it but at the same time I should also pay my mortgage. So there's a trade-off.

Buy the album in my honor until I make up my mind, please:


Sondre Lerche and The Faces Down Quartet, Duper Sessions.

I'm just gonna buy it. I have to, right? I have to because if I don't, Sondre Lerche and some other songwriters won't get paid, and they need to get paid right? They have bills too. I'm only contributing to their well-being, which is helping someone else. Treat others how you want to be treated and all. He's from Norway. Support Norway. They've never hurt anyone, right?

Okay.

I bought it.

So much for that. Of course, $7.99 isn't a lot for a splurge, right?

Justify, justify, justify.

Uh-oh.

I own this bikini.

Gretchen and I have the same taste in swimwear. What does that mean? What does it all mean now? We definitely don't have the same taste in men. Although, as of last season of RHofOC Gretchen was my favorite. But that's not saying much since I really think all those womens is crazy.

Old Movies: The Suspense of It

I love old movies. I love them. I can watch TCM all day, never leave the couch, and be completely content. Sometimes I'm that guy who says, "They don't make movies like they used to..." Not ashamed. I REALLY love all old movies, but especially in the genres of suspense, thriller, and drama.

Here are a few of my favs:




It's wonderful. I've eaten at the restaurant from the opening scene. Also, this is a great nap movie.

Blind Audrey Hepburn? Go it. Creepy Alan Alda? Got it. Drug smuggling? Got it. Creepy scene where everything is in the dark and someone is chasing Audrey Hepburn but can't see her because it's dark until she opens the fridge and the fridge light reveals where she is but she doesn't know that because (as mentioned earlier) she's blind so she still thinks she safe but she's not? Got it.

I mean, what's not awesome about a child star who grows up to loathe her sister who becomes famous as an adult for actually being talented and not just cute? I mean, so many things can happen when themes like jealousy and family are involved.

Of course not pictured are Rebecca (Alfred Hitchcock) and Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte (gotta love those Bette Davis eyes). Both good as well.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh movies. They are so much fun times.
