One of the places I would love to be right now…

Favorites this week so far

Monday was President’s Day, which meant I didn’t have to go to work. Not going to work on a weekday and it not being caused by sickness or appointment or anything else is a very good thing. This leads me to my first favorite:

The Apples in Stereo song “Go”

I can’t listen to it without getting this goofy smile on my face.

I went to my husband’s facebook profile earlier tonight and saw this:

 

 

 

 

 

Do you see what I see? I had a very “wow-it’s-cool-when-random-things-in-life-line-up” moment.

I hung my roses from Valentine’s Day up in our bathroom to dry.

 A dried, dead rose is just as beautiful to me as a vibrant, living one.

I watched the movie The Science of Sleep last night. I loved it. From the director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, french native Michel Gondry, brought a sense of child-like innonence to the way we view our dream world vs. our reality. I loved this movie. And a quote from Gondry tops my favorite list:

Every great idea is on the verge of being stupid.

It might be stupid first before it’s brilliant.

Screen Caps and Podcasts

Some time this past week, I read in someone’s flickr photostream that “screen caps are the new poloroids.” I love taking screen captures, or screen shots, especially of stuff online, so I think I’ll implement them more on my blog.

Take this for instance. Today was beautiful.

It was like Spring! We ventured out to get our car that had been being worked on for the past several weeks. We now finally have both our cars. It’s incredible how mostly in America two people in a household need two seperate cars, but in England, where David’s family live, they share one car among three people. Sometimes, I fancy the idea of living in a big city where public transport is  more available. But mostly, I love my life here in Western NC.

Recently, I’ve subscribed to several podcasts on iTunes.

I’m really very excited about each of them for different reasons. Of note, I found a podcast called PODRUNNER. Each week or so, this DJ puts out a mix for your workout. I’ve mentioned my love for getting in the zone during my workouts by listening to loud music before, so now I’m excited to get in the gym again and try this music out. It’ll be great not having to flip through several songs my iPod while I’m doing my cardio since the podcasts are about an hour long!

Everyday, I find a new reason why I love the internet and technology and living in this generation.
