1. i learned monday night that the best feeling in the world is riding my bike downhill at night with the sound of sprinklers in my ears and the smell of newly-blossomed flowers in my nose.
2. unexpectedly not having to work is wonderful.
3. taken is an INTENSE movie. if watching a bad-butt liam neeson kill a thousand guys in pursuit of his kidnapped daughter in paris is your thing, i recommend seeing it.
4. there's always next year.
5. it smells like hot dogs in my house right now. that's a gross smell to wake up to.
6. on the way back to idaho, i listened to this song* twice. it is that good.
7. i also rediscovered this song** and this song***
8. and this song**** and this song*****.
9. this song****** makes me think.
10. i spent fifteen minutes painting my fingernails yesterday and they're already chipping. what gives?! i think this is the last time i will ever paint my nails big apple red creme.
11. shaving your legs in a hurry with a brand new razor with cold water and conditioner [in lieu of shaving cream] is a bad, bad idea. i lost a lot of blood yesterday.
12. yesterday i got really frustrated with a roommate because she spent [no exaggeration] two hours in the bathroom yesterday doing who knows what. i really had to go to the bathroom and the other bathroom in the house didn't have any toilet paper. even when three of us knocked on the door and asked if she was almost done, she stayed in there for another hour.
that's when i realized that i'm done with the living with five other girls biz.
13. last night i had a dream that i had a polaroid camera and i took pictures of babies and a mystery man and i woke up wishing i had one for real.
14. this is my 90th post.
15. today in the shower i was standing there, thinking, and i realized that i hadn't sung in a long, long time. so even though there were other people home and the window was wide open, i sang one song. and i sang it loud. and i immediately felt better.
16. will someone teach me how to play bass? or just let me borrow a bass for a little bit so i can figure it out on my own?
*a friend told me once, and i confirmed on wikipedia, that this song was written by lindsey buckingham after he broke up with fellow bandmate stevie nicks. can you imagine singing a song like this with the very person who inspired it?
**i love that girl's voice.
***speaking of love, i'm in love with glen hansard. this song is genius.
****i almost linked to a recent performance on a television special that the casinos did. i still will. here it is. these guys have still got it. i got chills watching it.
*****the beach boys' version of this song is good, too.
******this made me giggle. it was the only video that had the original song in it.

"Taken" was the best movie ever! Talk about being on the edge of your seat the whole time! We totally loved it! He blows James Bond and Jason Bourne out of the water!
in response to
#3) did you just say "bad-butt"!? is that a rexburg expression or did you just make that up? in either case, it's pretty funny.
#6) my laurel advisor was the original singer for fleetwood mac, but she got nodes or something and had to stop singing, so they brought in stevie nicks.
#13) you said "i woke up wishing i had one for real"...at first i thought you meant the mystery man, and then the baby, and then i realized that you were probably talking about the polaroid camera... (or maybe all three?)
p.s. thanks for the card. you're the best!
The title of this post really grosses me out.
