drink specials all night, serious dancing guaranteed... and let's face it: since MJ can't celebrate his own life, we might as well do it for him.

lyrics of the day

she's a good girl, loves her mama
loves jesus and america too
she's a good girl, crazy 'bout elvis
loves horses and her boyfriend too

it's a long day, livin' in reseda
there's a freeway, runnin' through the yard
and i'm a bad boy 'cause i don't even miss her
i'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

and i'm free, free fallin'
yeah i'm free, free fallin'

all the vampires walkin' through the valley
move west down ventura blvd.
and all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
all the good girls are home with broken hearts

and i'm free, i'm free fallin'
yeah i'm free, free fallin'

i wanna glide down over mulholland
i wanna write her name in the sky
i wanna free fall out into nothin'
gonna leave this world for awhile

and i'm free, free fallin'
yeah i'm free, free fallin'

and i'm free, free fallin'
oh!

free fallin'
and i'm free, oh! free fallin'

~ tom petty, "free fallin'"

greetings from me (& my bathroom mirror) to you!

lyrics of the day

i'll give you my heart if you want me to
give you my soul and my mind
give you this song if you want it too
just don’t leave me far behind

i've traveled this road that has led to you
tasted the fruit off your vine
traveled through time to be next to you
please say that you will be mine

if you see california, you're almost home
if you see california say hello, say hello

there is a place that is close to me
a place made of mountain and sea
some people call it the golden state
i simply call it the key

if you see california, you're almost home
if you see california, then say hello
if you stop and look inside your mind
the beauty there that you will find
if you see california say hello, say hello

think of me when you're lost in your day dream day
think of me and i'll be there when you are awake

if you see california, you're almost home
if you see california, then say hello
if you stop and look inside your mind
the beauty there that you will find
if you see california say hello, say hello

~ chris robinson, "...if you see california"

quote of the day

i actually don't know a rapper before me that liked white people more than me. i don't know a rapper that wore tighter jeans. i don't know a rapper that collaborated with more white people than me.

lyrics of the day

help! i need somebody.
help! not just anybody.
help! you know i need someone, help.

when i was younger, so much younger than today,
i never needed anybody's help in any way.
but now these days are gone, i'm not so self assured,
now i find i've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

help me if you can, i'm feeling down
and i do appreciate you being 'round.
help me get my feet back on the ground,
won't you please, please help me?

and now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
my independence seems to vanish in the haze.
but every now and then i feel so insecure,
i know that i just need you like i've never done before.

help me if you can, i'm feeling down
and i do appreciate you being 'round.
help me get my feet back on the ground,
won't you please, please help me.

when i was younger, so much younger than today,
i never needed anybody's help in any way.
but now these days are gone, i'm not so self assured,
now i find i've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

help me if you can, i'm feeling down
and i do appreciate you being 'round.
help me get my feet back on the ground,
won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

~ the beatles, "help"

today was a great day.

it seems only appropriate that i am sitting here listening to music (grace potter) reading about music (rolling stone) while drinking a glass of wine (red) to toast to adubbs (happy half birthday!) while waiting to watch fx at 10pm (rescue me) and eat some ice cream (b&j's chocolate chip cookie dough).

correction: today IS a great day.

swoon. part two.

free music tuesday

if you happen to have no plans tonight and you happen to be broke and you happen to be in the union square area of new york city and you happen to like rosanne cash... then make sure you check this out!

are you serious?

dear random tourist sitting me next to me on the bus this morning,

what don't you understand? i am wearing headphones and sunglasses and, therefore, prefer not to converse with you throughout the entire ride to new york city. please learn your manners and leave me alone if you so obviously see that i wish not to be disturbed.

all my lurve,

8 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter

the rules are:

1. use your hands on my daughter and you'll lose them after.
2. you make her cry, i make you cry.
3. safe sex is a myth. anything you try will be hazardous to your health.
4. bring her home late, there's no next date.
5. if you pull into my driveway and honk, you better be dropping off a package because you're sure not picking anything up.
6. no complaining while you're waiting for her. if you're bored, change my oil.
7. if your pants hang off your hips, i'll gladly secure them with my staple gun.
8. dates must be in crowded public places. you want romance? read a book.

((sidenote: i never knew this.))

introducing: jack white's better half

tune in to reality tv

betsey johnson will be a guest judge on project runway!

even though i watch zero reality television, you best believe that i will watch this episode on thursday night. me lurves me some betsey!

chores. MEH!

here is a list of household chores that need to be done and why they suck:

- laundry. you forget you're doing it!
- washing dishes. it chips your manicure!
- bed making. it's awkward! and it's really also pretty pointless because you're just going to sleep in it and mess it up anyways a little later on down the road... but i guess that's neither here nor there.
- dusting. it makes you sneeze!
- bathroom maintenance. self-explanatory!





womp.

i don't need to get steady. i know just how i feel.

coming to hbo, september 19th

happy birthday, grandma. miss you.

i love the way you lie~

now playing: yim yames

check out his set from newport music festival 2010.

thanks, ag! much lurve for passing along to me so i can pass along to YOU! :)

sunday funday in style

calling all mad men fans!

the ever so fabulous tribeca hotel in nyc (2 avenue of the americas) will be playing host and screening this sunday's episode of the very fabulous mad men! i believe that proper attire is requested (isn't it always?) and the cocktail hour begins at 9P with the episode starting at 10P.

enjoy yourself and if you're feeling frisky... spend the night ;)

tick tock tick tock

i'm ready for the weekend! i'm out at 5p, gots a fabulous deep tissue massage appointment for 6p, and then i'm off to connecticut to visit bas for the weekend! heading back to nyc on sunday for the xx free show in central park. and then i have monday off which will include a dentist appointment and some seriously overdue zoey time.

is life good? i think it just might be...

california love!

california is one step closer to marriage equality.

hip-hip, HOORAY!

greetings from jail

it's reassuring to know that lil wayne is doing well.

lunch time!

it's 11:43AM.

the dead weather: recap

i wish i could say i loved it, but i can't! don't get me wrong: the dead weather is a kick ass band with a kick ass live show. however, i thought prospect park bandshell (sidenote: great space) was the wrong place for this kind of show. i would have preferred and indoor venue so that the ROCK could bounce off the walls! at first we were in the crowd and then we headed toward the back so we could have more space, but we could easily have been outside the venue walls and everything would have sounded just as great... a unanimous consensus by the group.

of course i was bummed that jack white didn't steal the spotlight as often as i thought he should have, but that's ok! he kicked ass on drums!

moral of the story: i didn't hate it but i'm pissed i spent the money when i could have rocked out without going in. (second sidenote: i'm broke as a joke.)

heaven on earth... ::sigh::

happy album release day!

CROWEOLOGY!

the black crowes first all-acoustic adventure is streaming in its entirety at spinner.com.

db, thank you for this discovery!

gonna break it down, break it down, break it down...

today's reason to celebrate: friendship day

through thick and thin, our friends are always by our sides. friendship day has taken place in the united states since 1935 after congress proclaimed it a national holiday. following the popularity and success of friendship day in the u.s., many other countries around the world soon adopted this tradition. in 1997 the united nations named winnie the pooh as the world's ambassador of friendship!

take part in this national tradition by spending some time today with your friends. go to lunch, hit the mall, or have a party! friendship day is also a great reminder to call friends that you don't see regularly just to catch up.

lucky penny

found a penny, picked it up. all day long i'll have good luck?

what the fuck?

please answer me this: why does the driver of any given vehicle choose to wear headphones while driving? does your car not connect to an ipod? SUCKS FOR YOU! ... but i assume that driving with headphones on is absolutely hazardous so do us all a favor and stop doing it.

thank you.

goodnight, sunday

oh my bed, how i love thee. and how you would feel so nice if he were in it...

it's august. now what?

so i just arrived back in hoboken after today's sunday funday: toy story 3 w mama and sister and best friend's soccer game (they lost, boo) followed by a two hour ride home via multiple forms of public transportation.

however, only now can i finally reflect on the fact that it's motherfuckin' AUGUST. can anybody else not believe it? ugh, i don't know my thoughts about this. on one hand, i'm tired of sweating my bum off at 7AM because the humidity is so high. on the other hand, i'm simply not ready to almost be done with summer. i feel like i got nothing accomplished, and that's putting it rather lightly.

for some reason, i thought this summer was going to be awesome. i don't really know why i thought that because i'm not on break from school, nor did i plan on spending any time at the beach... but i just thought that i was in a really good place going into it and i'm afraid that i won't be at a good place coming out of it. i know i know, cry me a riverrrr. but seriously... i feel so behind this game we call life and i have no idea what i need to do to catch up to everybody else.

do i really have to tell myself to "stop trying" and "just let things happen"? BORING. whatever. i'm tired... and apparently bitter about, something. so i'm going to sleep.

woof!

is it too inappropriate to state the obvious? (and the obvious would be that her breast implants are two completely different sizes...)

please don't discuss.
