Watched Practical Magic last night with the roomies and Sandra Bullock mention planting lavender for luck. Which then reminded me of Alii Kula Lavender Farm. My dad knows the owner and I was able to chat with her at the Made in Hawaii festival a few months ago. What I found so inspiring was that she started this farm on a whim. She just felt that this was her calling. I'd like to find that.

I've been kind of in a blogging rut. No motivation. I don't know why. So here goes...

Glee. So it's official I'm a Gleek, it's my newfound love. Last season I watched it off and on, wasn't hooked. Anna got season 1, disc 1 from Netflix and now I'm hooked. I actually own the complete season 1 on dvd, and iTunes has been banking off of my Glee downloads. I should've known I was going to get hooked this bad, I do love a good song and dance with hot guys (ahem Finn Hudson and Noah Puckerman and Mike Chang). I make everyone listen to the soundtrack and secretly wish Krazy Karaoke would have Glee versions of songs. Dork, I know, please don't slushy me.

My photoging has been uninspired lately. Wayne and I did take a trip up to the heiau, but I couldn't find my photoging swag.

Actually I can't seem to find much of anything. Christmas is in full swing, and none of my usual holiday season loves has gotten me into the spirit. Shopping is tiresome, the music is way too cheerful and sappy (don't ask, I know you're thinking but she just downloaded like half of the Glee soundtrack, talk about sappy), the lights haven't entranced me, not even our house Christmas card. I'm just a total Scrooge this season. Bah humbug.

Back from my mini San Francisco vacay with Priya! I hate the fact that time just FLIES by when you are on vacation, but when you are at work or not on vacation the days and weeks go on FOREVER. I'll definitely blog more about my trip later... here are just some random thoughts on my mind.

-San Francisco, a city I could definitely move to...

-I thought Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway album was the BEST break-up album, but on my trip I found John Mayer's Continuum. I downloaded this album back when it was first released, I guess I never really listened to his words. John Mayer you're kind of an asshole, but your music is amazing.

-OK I'll admit I like watching the new Hawaii 5-0.

-Urban Outfitters definitely NEEDS TO OPEN A STORE IN HAWAII NOWWWW. Now I say!

-Priya has this game for her iPod Touch, where you beat levels by beating a timer. I'm not sure what it is called, but it is addicting.

-I'm growing out my bangs. I say that all the time, but I'd really like to switch up my hairstyle. I can't wait for long hair.

-OH also still obsessed with Fleetwood Mac "Landslide." I've never been a fan of Fleetwood Mac but, I love this song SO much.

1.   I am       a big dork, sarcastic, and in a quarterlife crisis    .

2.  I wish   I was more spontaneous and I wish 'N Sync would get back together for a reunion tour  .

3.  I like       weekends off, planning field trips and adventures with my friends, baseball in October, songs with great lyrics, laughing really, really hard, classic rock, hello kitty     .

4.  I can   really do anything I want to do, be whatever I want to be, I just need to take a leap of faith   .

5.  I hope      everyone has a great weekend, I know mine will be awesome .

6.  I think        sometimes I think too much    .

7.  I was       too lazy to blog yesterday, hence the fill in the blank Saturday      .

What about you? Fill In The Blank Friday

RIP MJ

Gone too soon. His music, style, and performances influenced us all and provided a soundtrack to our lives. Everyone has a Michael Jackson story, whether it be watching Thriller for the first time, doing (or attempting to try) the moonwalk, the sparkly glove. For me, I have many... being frightened watching Thriller (i swear the video scared me until I was in 4th grade), listening to "The Way You Make Me Feel" in one of my dad's car show cars bass turned up high, doing the J5 dance, playing the Moonwalker video game on Sega Genisis (one of my sister and I's FAVORITE sega games of all time), Wayne's horrible Michael Jackson impressions, and singing "Man in the Mirror" everyTIME at karaoke (it's my signature song...solo). Despite his unfortunate legal issues near the end, I always carried a little hope that things would turn around and he would have this great comeback. Rest in peace.

Showing my age

Yesterday at Billabong, we were discussing this reggae remake of Backstreet Boys "All I Have to Give" (which completely SUCKS-the remake not the original, BSB fo life), and Kaliko goes "Yeah what album was that... Millenium, that was the first CD I ever owned, I got in elementary." That made me feel old, the first real music (not children's songs or books on tape but, major recording artist) I had was New Kids On The Block "Hangin Tough" ...on tape. The first CD I ever owned was Michael Jackson's HIStory and BoyzIIMen Motownphilly. I was in high school when Millenium came out (best BSB album to date).

On another note, what is up with all the remaking of songs? I say give a song some time before you remake it. Like Ten Feets version of "I'm Yours," Mr. Mraz just released it on his album this year! For crying out loud, let the song by the original artist enjoy it's time in the spotlight before you remake it. Let them become classics!
