date in the park

Hula-hooping contest.

When I was 9 or 10, I used to hula-hoop in the backyard with a stop-watch in hand.
I wanted the Guinness World Record. I kind of still do...

2 days to go.

date with destiny

It's only natural for boyfriends and girlfriends to influence each others likes and dislikes over a period of time. Bands, songs, movies, adventures, all of those favorite things hold potential for being shared between a two. For me and mine, our musical tastes parallel. (Adversely, he only endures my passion for terrible reality television.) But slowly but surely, his love for film has found a place on my palate. If you know Kelcey, you know about his love for Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I will admit I found it peculiar and I was (admittedly) a bit jealous of the relationship. But after many endeavors from Brick to 500 Day of Summer, I've found myself enjoying JGL even without Kelcey around. I think we may be meant to be. (Shh! Don't tell Kelc!) The moment I knew during the Singing in the Rain inspired monologue when Joseph hosted SNL. Make 'em laugh made me smile. And now I've found this video on his personal blog, and I am obsessed. JGL is superb (per the usual) in this short film, but also I am completely addicted to the play with language here. The English major nerd that I am wants to type out every word. And of course.. the colors, the lack of saturation, the little flowers and animation, and that cute little mustache... What a beauty!

craving an authentic NY bagel

for my mom's 50th birthday last summer, we went on a trip to new york, and met up with the boys on tour. i'm not sure if missing New York led me to looking at my NYC pictures... or if looking at NYC pictures led me to missing New York. either way, i'm seriously craving an authentic NY bagel. anyone know where i can find one in L.A.?

on the road again...

I'd rather be in Barcelona...

On our way home from Cabo we watched most of Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Kelcey and I both agreed that this was the silliest little song. It's placed all throughout the film, and it's all too catchy. And this has to be up there amongst the silliest music videos I've ever seen as well. Bonus points for the glimmer of light on the ring at the end.

Barcelonaaaa! If you happen to adore the song, here's a link to the band's myspace: http://www.myspace.com/giuliaylostellarini And... we are in luck. They will be at SXSW this year. Must see.
