What I'm Listening To

Playlist.com could never replace water, but I think it's a pretty useful little website.

Now about my taste in music. I love mainstream music, but I also like rock, and 80s music. My playlist is a pretty good mix of a lot of different types of music, and I'm always updating it while mostly keeping the other songs which helps me see how my taste is evolving. I may not have a very sensitive palate, but I like to think I have pretty good taste in music.

My favorite songs of the moment:

1.) Private Affair - The Virgins

2.) When My Time Comes - Dawes

3.) Beatbox - The Sounds

Quirks

I consider myself a pretty quirky gal, so I'm introducing you to some of my quirks, starting with my favorite scent.
The smell of clean linens is great, and highly combustible, compressed air is my favorite. On top of that, it's a disinfectant, which tends to the germ-o-phobe within me! Everyone, except people on Catalina Island, oughta own some. About the Catalina Island thing... according to Amazon.com, "this item is not for sale in Catalina Island." Speaking of which, Catalina Island is super great, and everyone there drives around in golf carts. Now you all know more about me.

Angels & Demons, n'est pas?

I just finished watching the movie Angels & Demons based off the book by Dan Brown. I've been meaning to read the book, but since I recently returned from a trip to Italy, I figured it would be worth it to watch the movie whenever the opportunity presented itself.
This film involves our good friend, Harvard symbologist, Robert Langdon. The Vatican invites him to Rome to help combat the Illuminati, or "the enlightened" who threaten to eliminate the Vatican. The movie was almost two and a half hours long and there are so many plot twists. The good thing is, there weren't too many unanswered questions. Hopefully I can read the novel and find out more, but overall, I think the movie was great and totally engrossing.

Phrases that Need to be Revived

Many people would agree that I have a very particular lingo, and I try to express that in my blog, so here's a list of phrases I want YOU to help me resuscitate.

1.) "No sweat!"
This phrase can be used in a variety of situations, it's used to make people relax and not worry about you.

2.) "That's a bunch of Bolshevik"
Commonly said as a joke when talking about the Russian revolution, this phrase can replace another phrase that involves cursing.

3.) "That's marvelous, dearie"
Last time someone I heard someone say marvelous was 2001.

Generation A

I recently finished a very original, and mind-blowing book about the somewhat near future. Generation A by Douglas Coupland is a novel about five people who are mysteriously stung even though bees are extinct. These people each have some sort of magical protein that attracts the bees. At the same time, everyone in the world is getting addicted to a drug called Solon which makes them not worry about the future and it makes people not care doubt anything. The interesting part is that these people are sent to a remote location and are forced to tell stories, ands the stories they tell are so unbelievable and unusual, but always entertaining. For weeks they are poked and prodded at, and the ending is both disturbing and memorable. What really makes this book unique is the out of this world story telling. And though it may be plenty confusing, I can't seem to get the book outta my head.
