I think that driving in my car, with the windows down and the music blaring, makes me happier than anything else.
What was that show (I think it was on TLC?) where the friends and family of a couple got to plan the couple’s wedding and the couple just trusted them and had no part in the planning or knew what they were doing until the day of? Does anyone remember it? I love that show. Just curious if anyone remembers what it was called.
For Better or For Worse???
A lil Chace.
I saw a bunch of these B&Ws on a board yesterday and they made me think of you. it’s funny that you ended up posting this. less than a month!
this movie gets to me every time I watch it. the excellent soundtrack: david gray, maroon5 back when they were kara’s flowers, peter stuart (I miss Dog’s Eye View). Richard Ruccolo shirtless and with scruff (I miss Two Guys, A Girl & A Pizza Place). Lisa Kudrow AND Christina Ricci in bit parts? I mean come on. the ending—sun setting, silhouettes dancing at a wedding, the Jayhawks song playing—that always leaves me smiling. as much as I insist that true love is the stuff of fairytales, this movie makes me realize I’m just a hopeless romantic. ugh.
this makes me very happy. and it will make the drive to see my sister this weekend even more enjoyable. yay for solo roadtrips with nothing but music to keep me company.
is this “new” Facebook supposed to be some sort of an improvement?
a week later and I’m still not on board.
I love bars that don’t have lines at the door. or cover charges. with a choice of empty booths. where bartenders are overly helpful because they’re desperate to make money off of someone. where songs stop as soon as you find your seat. and your songs begin to play the moment you drop $5 into the juke box. open patios. a setting sun. a warm summer breeze. the company of good friends. an ice cold killian’s.
I decided to change up my playlist a bit this time:
the chemicals between us - bush (old skool)
nothing left to lose - mat kearney (his only song on the box)
never let you go - thrid eye blind
mr. brightside - the killers (i’ve played this on every juke box since 2005)
stolen - dashboard confessional
viva la vida - coldplay (with clap along action)
o.a.r. - shattered [turn the car around] (I told you it was my latest obsession)
plus a bunch of scary stuff played by Gina. miss “I’m bringing some metal to your life”
another reason why I love the people I work with: emergency phone calls, that really aren’t emergencies at all.
me: hello?
Debbie: hey. what is the bully’s name in A Christmas Story, I knew you’d know.
me: um, Scut Farkus.
Debbie: right, right. that’s it.
me: why?
Debbie: the new guy looks exactly like him. okay thanks.
