rescue me: recap

so.. i wasn't impressed! i wish i could say i was, but i guess i expected more? i know i know, it's only the first episode of the new season. but based on the episode AND the previews for future episodes, i can't imagine myself getting all too excited about the second-to-last season of one of my favorite shows. HOWEVER, peter gallagher (!!!!!!!!!!) is guest starring in a multi-episode arc so that is reason in itself to watch.

your thoughts?

ps... franco is yummy =)

lyrics of the day

caught in a vein
headed for the heart of pain
memories and tears remain
and an old photograph of you and i
i know it's not much but it gets me by

life turns another page
but i don't feel older 'cause i'm numb from pain
your voice on the phone don't sound the same
i try to sleep late just to pass the day
it's a waste of time so i find a way to

hold you in my dreams
sometimes it's all i need
someday you won't be so far from me
until that day
you'll be the girl of my dreams

here's to the nights i thought i'd never miss
smiles taken for granted and the taste of your last kiss
the gleam in your eyes as we tried to hold back our goodbyes
feels like I'm raining inside
but you're my blue skies, my perfect little lullaby
and when times get rough all i have to do is try to

hold you in my dreams
sometimes it's all i need
someday you won't be so far from me
until that day
you'll be the girl of my dreams

lyrics of the day

you’re with me tonight on this dark highway
we’ve run it together so many times
we’ve run it for money, we’ve run it for music
we’ve run it to pay for our innocent crimes

i took on my father and i’m still walkin’
took on all comers in some shape or form
and i see with the eyes of somethin’ wounded
somethin’ still standing after the storm

here’s one to glory and survival
and stayin’ alive, it’s the running man’s bible

i been next in line, i been next to nothin’
been next to bystanders who shoulda said somethin’
it was not in my vision, it was not in my mind
to return from a mission a man left behind

here’s one to glory and survival
and stayin’ alive, it’s the running man’s bible

i don’t speak of the times i’ve nearly died
i don’t speak of out lastin’ those who are gone
or the things i've done, i care not to remember
or the desperate measures that might have been wrong

honey, here’s one to glory, here’s to bad weather
and all the hard things we’ve been through together
here’s to the golden rule and survival
and to stayin’ alive, it’s the running man’s bible

here’s one to glory and survival
and stayin’ alive, it’s the running man’s bible

~ tom petty & the heartbreakers, "running man's bible"

'tis the time!

i'm waiting (im)patiently to get picked up. heading to saratogaaaaa for phish and lb's birthdayyyyy (happy birthdayyyy, gangster! xo).

i feel like i've been planning this forever. hooray!

more tomorrow... =)

the road

so my question is... would you want to live if all you have are memories?

i'm watching "the road" (sidenote: better book than movie) and i can't help but wonder what i would think this situation, how i would react. would i really want to live if i had nothing to look forward to? i mean, there is NO CIVILIZATION! and the world is gray with not an indication of color in sight. i can't be the only one thinking that these characters have no reason to keep on truckin', right?

hopefully i'll never have to find out what it means to be truly lonely, and i kind of feel weird even THINKING that if SOMETHING happened in this world that i might not want to see it all the way though.

hmm... interetsting...

are you nervous?

YES !!!!!

post-mountain jam

i did it! i went to my first festival! since there is so much to say about it (and really, who has the time or desire to recap and entire weekend of... stuff?!) i figured i would put it in list form. 'tis the best form, i think...

likes: great music. great company. sunshine. barbeque. cute boys! not having to think. recreational activities. meeting new people.

dislike: cold. rain. sleeping in a tent on the ground. semi-broken cell phone. not knowing what to do with myself. having to go home.

best musical act: grace potter (obviously!)

best discovered artists: london souls and zach deputy

consensus of the weekend: meh.

Thursday, June 3, 2010

'twas the night before mountain jam, and all through the house...

holy crap, i'm excited! and nervous. and anxious. and really kind of scared. i hope it doesn't rain - but whatever, my mama says i'll have fun no matter what because i'll be with my friends. my mama is so smart...

i'm currently doing a million and one things (not one thing on that list includes "sleep") in prep for the early AM departure: hair did, double-check packing, make CDs, blah blah blah.

hope ya'll have a fabulous weekend! chat on monday... ;)

did you love me only in my head?

indulge... and enjoy :)

lifesavor

fabulous fashion

so i hadn't been to a mall in quite some time. after all, i work in the city and i have no wheels... but i recently went and discovered an amazing store which is equally as amazing (and affordable!) online.

you're welcome.

we're going to the fair...

i love the fair! obviously just for the food because i don't go on any rides... but the new jersey state fair is coming up and i want to go!

who's coming with me?!?!? ;)
