many moons.

Merry Christmas!!!

: )

try sleeping with a broken heart.

Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway

Even if it ain’t all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!

On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge

I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These street will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!

One hand in the air for the big city,
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!

replay.

Seriously -- this is driving me crazy!!

"Replay" by Iyaz is IDENTICAL to "The Power of Goodbye" by Madonna.

Can no one else hear it?!?!?!

a few honest words.

I love Christmas!!

I don't understand how or why some people prefer other holidays. Halloween?? Please. It ain't got nothing on Christmas.

last christmas.

So, in an attempt to not do my Victorian lit research paper I'm posting my Christmas wishlist. Huzzah!

1. LG 37" 1080p LCD HDTV (37LH30) $799.99
New TV!


2. LG 1080p Upconverting DVD Player With DivX (DV480H) $79.99
I'm holding off upgrading to BD until prices of players and BD movies come down a bit, in the mean time a new DVD player that upconverts DVDs to 1080p content would be rad.


3. "The Spencer" by Nixon in All Black $275.00
I have a sweet Nixon watch already, but I think I should probably get something that's a bit more "professional", no?


4. Starbucks gift cards $ Various
Mmmmm, Starbucks...


5. Chapters gift cards $ Various
I love reading.


6. Spa day gift certificate $269.00
The RnR Wellness spa in downtown Calgary offers this men's package that I want to try.


7. 15" MacBook Pro $1799.00
My RevA MacBook is getting a little old... A nice new MBP would be rad.

10. Bottles of wine $ Various
Mmmm, I love wine from around the world and am always wanting to try new Vineyards.

I bought a Klean Kantene water bottle this summer and it sucks. I'd love just a regular Nalgene or a steel water bottle that DOES NOT have a nozzle on it. From now on I only use twist off.

I lost my travel coffee mug in September and need a new one.

For when the weather gets cold.

the christmas song.

I have cabin fever.

I'm stuck inside because of the storm that's sitting on top of Calgary right now.

I hope it's done by tomorrow. I have an appt at 12:30.

I guess I could be productive and work on my Victorian Lit research paper. Or not.

I need to haul some serious academic ass.

I can see my GPA flashing before my eyes.
