Brooklyn Botanical Garden

Man, I do love New York!

August, 2007:

On a day like today, so icky, rainy, and grey... it's nice to remember a place full of sunshine, heat, flowers, and a gorgeous fountain. (someday I'll have one in my yard. Someday!)

Los Musicos Part Dos

Wouldn't you know? Less than 24 hours after I write about my favorite bands of all time.. .I find out that 2 of them are playing at the huge (and hugely expensive) Sasquatch Music Festival! Am very tempted to go.... (C'mon! R.E.M AND The Cure? When does that happen?) There are quite a few other bands that I like too (Death Cab for Cutie, Teegan and Sara, The Kooks) so I guess we'll see if any of my friends are equally tempted to a.)spend close to $70 and b.)drive past Ellensburg for a festival! (I have a feeling that REM and the Cure will be on different days though; no way can I spend $160!!!)

Here is Lulu. Because I never post any pictures here... and she's just the cutest thing ever!

High Fidelity

In this movie, John Cusak has Top 5 lists for everything. Top 5 reasons he misses his girlfriend, Top 5 Dream Jobs.. and Top 5 Bands of all time. (well, not so sure about that last one. It's been a while since I've watched it.)

So... here are my Top 5 Bands/Musicians of ALL TIME:

1.) Fleetwood Mac
2.) Prince
3.)The White Stripes
4.)The Cure
5.) Tie between Jane's Addiction and The Shins. (funny too, b/c at a Shins show last summer, they started playing "Mountain Song", after joking that we all were as wild as if we were at a JA show, circa 1993.)

Pretty sad, there's only one girl in the whole lot of them...

Runners-Up:

Tori Amos, R.E.M. (there was a time when I thought I could just take 5 of their albums, and seal my CD changer shut because I loved them So Much.) and hmm... Hole. Yes, I do have Courtney Love's book. :)
