Hilarious

I know this commercial isn't really new but no matter how many times I watch, it still cracks me up ... love this kind of humor.

Vampire Weekend

I'm really digging the sound of this band. I might just have to purchase both their albums. If you want to check out the sound of their latest go here.

ps: my apologizes for the *ahem* language in this song, but man is it catchy :)

Going Postal

I really like to send snail-mail, especially when such a thing seems like a dying art in this technology obsessed age. So, I really LOVE a good stamp and was excited to check out all the new stamps for 2010. However, when I spotted these Abstract Expressionist stamps ... I am STOKED!!! They feature an amazing set of works from the likes of Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock etc.


















I am planning to buy a pane to keep and another to use on extra special mail. If you want them for yourself be sure to mark your calendar for their March 11th release date.

Winter Changes ...

You may notice a change in the weather i.e. the snowfall ... if you're interested, you can go here to start a blizzard on your own blog.

Date Night

April 9, 2010 ... Steve Carell + Tina Fey = HILARIOUS.

Music Monday

I decided to do this little post mostly just to talk about The Avett Brothers. I really, really like their music and this song, I and Love and You, is my current favorite.



I also really, really wish I could snag some tickets (argh darn ticketmaster) to their January 1, 2010 concert at Fox Theatre in Atlanta and find someone who enjoys them enough to go with me ... because going to their show would be an amazing start to the new year!!!

Leap Year

I know 2010 is still a few weeks away but seeing this movie trailer tonight has made me start counting down the days until January 8th when I can see the first awesome romantic comedy of the year!!!

Haven't Met You Yet

I absolutely adore this song/video it's so cute, Michael Buble is pretty cute too, plus it really does seem to fit my current status.

Parental Acceptance

The holidays are upon us, we have celebrated Thanksgiving and now Christmas is now just around the corner. During such times of celebration we tend to gather around that which is meaningful such as home, friends and family. However, with this gathering comes some inevitable awkwardness or frustration especially when it comes to family ... parents in particular.

The dynamics of a parent-child relationship are incredible and at times incredibly difficult. Often times the difficulties in this relationship are greater as the child becomes an adult. I have experienced this quite often and was even thinking on the matter just last week as my family prepared for Thanksgiving. Then I received my GOOP newsletter for the month and the topic was straight from my heart/mind : Parental Acceptance

I highly recommend taking a few moments to read the newsletter here and see if it doesn't help give you some insight on how to love and accept your parents just as they are ...
