you're my cha cha

After perusing through the lyrics from Tinted Windows' debut album (which is composed of guys from Cheap Trick, Fountains of Wayne, Smashing Pumpkins, and Hanson), it has become very apparent to me that Taylor Hanson has no part in the songwriting process of Hanson's good songs. Don't roll your eyes at that; they have good songs.

Now, don't get me wrong, the lyrics to Tinted Windows' songs sound like they're going to be fun, summertime catchy jams that will stay stuck in your head until the leaves turn orange in the fall. But don't expect to find any lyrical genius in the songs. If you're looking for fancy vocabulary and compelling lyrics, go listen to The Decemberists.

"Well, say what you will about spirits; I always thought you could learn something from them."
- The Skeleton Key

The Skeleton Key, 2005, starring Kate Hudson and Gena Rowlands aka the old lady that makes you cry in The Notebook.

Despite the fact that Kate Hudson is in it, The Skeleton Key is an all right movie. Especially if you find all that 'hocus-pocus-mumbo-jumbo' interesting... which I just so happen to. Seriously, you can ask anyone who has known me more than twenty minutes; I like Hanson and going on ghost adventures. It's just who I am.

I also love the song "Voodoo Lady" by Ween and find that it's necessary to mention this song since it rarely can be brought up in conversation without being thrown in from way out in left field.

So, what have we learned today?
Go watch The Skeleton Key and listen to "Voodoo Lady". Or listen to Hanson. I'll value our friendship more if you listen to Hanson. And I'm not even joking about that.

This is the best way to watch a movie, especially if that's marshmallow popcorn they're snacking on.

i need a job at hallmark.

I was rummaging through the 'cards with sound' display at Wal-Mart last night, which I know makes the employees so happy when I open, close, and re-open the card that plays "MMMBop" five times for my own amusement, when I found a card that I would love to give someone. The discovery of this card made me realize two truths about myself that I was unaware of:

1 - I am such a girl that I like to look at greeting cards just for shits and giggles, and

2 -I think so far ahead that I already have a card picked out to give to my non-existent boyfriend.

Clearly I have issues that need to be addressed.
