Don't Save Me.

In my next life I hope to be a singer preferably the fourth (fifth if we're counting the drummer) long-haired member/sister of HAIM. HAIM is a "nu-folk–meets–nineties-R&B" sister pop group from California. The group does not even have a full-length album out yet, but their EP called Forever has been the best thing I have heard in a while. They are fun, girly, cool with haunting voices, relatable lyrics, good beats, and cool hair. They just released a new video today for "Don't Save Me" and its a class act. Listen, watch and enjoy. 

Now I regret cutting my hair and not staying with the bass. Damn.

Save(d) The Date.

The night before my birthday, I lit my fall candles, brewed up some tea and snuggled in pillows and blankets to watch Save The Date. After drooling over the trailer and posters, I finally saw it and it was all I was expecting.

The film was such an easy, funny love story that really consumed me. I easily fell in love with Lizzy Caplan's character, Sarah,  and everything about her -- her strong will, her self-confidence, her outfits, her cat, her home, her acceptance of herself and her strength to never settle. She kind of became the person I hope to be like when I grow up.

All of the other characters were well-defined people who knew what they wanted and they were just as endearing as well. I was a little creeped out by Mark Webber's character, Jonathan, for a little. I'm not sure why, but he seemed to be hiding something from my girl Sarah. Or maybe I was just being over protected of my dream self. Who knows. He redeemed himself by taking her to an aquarium and then dancing to records in her living room.

Overall, the movie was simple with a few subtle twist and turns with a main lady that is hard not to root for.

Update.

Wow, haven't I just been the worst blogger on the planet? With that begin said, I have a lot of things to say today so they may all run wild on this one post or I may spread them out...we shall see.

First, Happy Holidays! It it finally Holiday Season and I am so excited. I traveled back to New Jersey yesterday and immediately felt a warmth inside of me when I saw my house and my mom peeking through the laundry room window. Dorothy was definitely right about there being no place like home. Atta girl.

Second. I have seen so many movies lately that I need to give some reviews of. This I will probably have in other posts, so be patient. (if you care, that is)

Third. Have you been happy lately? I have been so happy lately and every one I know has been really grateful and ecstatic about everything. It feels good and I hope you are experiencing the same thing. Also, a little shout out to my friends who have been a really good support system for each other. If anyone is in need of some amazing friends, I got a few I could lend for a little.

Fourth. I am officially 21.

Bat's Mouth.

The caves of our mouths are forest darknessAnd the air in between is overflowingAnd the rushing wolverine flies past his shiny, shiny teethAnd she is kind, he is free, full of knowing
She is sureShe is sure
The caves of our mouths are bear's belliesAnd the air in between is spewing cometsAnd the dancing centaur queen flies past her tiny, tiny teethHe is kind, she is free and wants to show him
She is sureShe is sureShe is sure

Happy November!

I may be five days late on this but it is finally November...

Queue the beards, the mugs of coffees, the scarfs, the leaves, the chills, the big coats, the loads of blankets, the family times, the no shaving, the maroons and browns and burnt oranges, the football games, the sad music that is some how so comforting, the cuddling, the kissing, the gift giving, the start of holidays, the movie nights, the cords, the big sweaters, the fireside talks, the birthdays of myself and friends. Queue the good times. 

I also want to give my thoughts and prayers to those who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. I am from New Jersey and have been devastated by what has happened across the state, especially to my friends down at the Shore. Those who have been to the Shore know the unforgettable memories that being at the Shore sprouts and it saddens me deeply that the places we all know and love are not there anymore. But we do know this, we are from New Jersey and Jersey is strong and Jersey will come back better than ever.

I also want to give my thoughts and prayers to my friends in New York and Rhode Island. The two other places I have called home in my life.

East Coast love to all the states.
