What is love?

It’s a song, by J. Lo. Which I am a little bit ashamed to admit is on my top 25 most played on itunes. (BTW isn’t that the most horrible part of itunes? I have the most epically bad taste in music when it comes to what I will listen to on repeat over and over and over again), but back to the point. This song. This song is my life. FACT.

Seriously, who would have thought J. Lo would be the one to hit the nail on the head? I certainly didn’t. Then again, we both know she didn’t write it, so I’m going to believe it was someone with a little more depth. (But really who are we kidding, I’m relating my life to a J. Lo song and somehow judging her for lack of depth.)

It’s also been out for nearly two years, but it’s  on her new album.  Re-release? While I ponder the recyclage, have a listen my pookies. Oh yes, I did just call you that. It’s cause I can’t be bothered to say your names. Also, please note the lyrics. They are of course what I relate to, that and the super catchy na nas.

One isn’t always the loneliest number pt. 2

“Society is afraid of alone though, like lonely hearts are wasting away in basements, like people must have problems if after a while nobody is dating them. But lonely is a freedom that breathes easy and weightless and lonely is healing if you make it.”

This video by fiilmaker, Andrea Dorfman, and poet/singer/songwriter, Tanya Davis, made me happy, and  all the more pleased that I’m not (even though I have the occasional moment of weakness) willing to give up on finding something bigger than ordinary.

Serendipity; not just for John Cusack

Do you believe in fate?

Not the kind of fate were your decisions have no bearing whatsoever on the outcome of your life (so  don’t sweat it cause your life  it was written for you by the gods long before you were born).

Night Cap

No better way to cap off the night than to find out that there’s a new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer. I can’t even begin to describe my excitement, it’s borderline (read: full on) 12 year old at a Justin Bieber meet and greet. And here I was thinking I’d never have the opportunity to say anything positive when mentioning Justin Bieber.  I stand corrected.

and they keep falling like leaves from a tree

Two new movies based on books to look forward to. The first is The Time Traveller’s Wife based on the book of the same name by Audrey Niffenegger. The book was absolutely beautiful, one of my all time favourites and the movie doesn’t look like it will be terrible so that’s promising. What isn’t promising is that this film was supposed to have been released last December but got pushed back soo many times (with the excuse that they were waiting for Eric Bana’s hair to grow back in order to finish filming–which begs the questions why didn’t he wait until he finished filming to cut his hair) I’m afraid it might be terrible. Check out the trailer here:

And, The Road based on the book of the same name by Cormac McCarthy, also looks quite good. I haven’t yet read the book, but I do own it and plan on reading it before the release of the film this coming fall. Check it out:

and it actually looks good…

Have you ever read anything by Jodi Picoult? no? well get on it. She’s great! (many thanks to my gal Milene for introducing me to this fantastic author).

Need a place to start? I recommend My Sister’s Keeper. It’s heart-wrenching, and will make you cry, kind of like this year’s season finale of Grey’s Anatomy made me cry. You have to read it quick though. Why? because the movie comes out June 26th, and it looks good (at least the two minutes of trailer I watched).

It’s a recession baby, recycle.

So has anyone else noticed that all of Beyonce’s videos (Ego, Single Ladies) feature her singing while two other chicks dance? Doesn’t it remind you of something, like…oh I don’t know Destiny’s Child maybe. Just saying.

Ah-May-Zing!

I don’t think I need to address how awesome I think this film is going to be. But I will with one sentence: Quentin Tarantino, WWII, Nazis, that is all.
