a fabulous little thing by our friend, brother, and folk hero: wes anderson

30 rock ended and my mindgrapes can't take it so this is how i cry now

30 rock. brilliance. and a joke factory. and made me feel so much.
thank you an infinity amount, tina and co.

i just love television so much.

don't you know the kingdom's under siege

they are that band that i have been hooked on since i was in junior high.

and the concert was unreal. so many emotions going on.

i can't think of words to write in this post.

a few of my friends waited a long time after to try and meet them.

they did. hunter got brandon and ronnie to sign a shirt for me. hunter is 2nice. 

he knows how the killers make me feel, i guess.

and brandon remembered my friend martha from when she met him a while ago at disneyland.

brandon is 2cool.

so much love in my heart.

this is the cutest thing you will see all weekend

11-year-old ryan performing at a primary talent show.
oh, that face. so cute.
i would have liked to see the reactions of all the 11-year-old girls at that talent show...

texas forever.

this summer i watched friday night lights. every episode over the space of about a month. i don't just like that show. i like like it. i recommend it to each and every one of you. you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you will feel like every character is your best friend and want to live in the town of dillon, tx.

i want to give a shout out to jordyn, for lending me her dvds of all 5 seasons. and i want to give another shout out to all the men of friday night lights for making me be in love with them. namely: coach taylor, tim riggins, luke cafferty, landry clarke, and last, but most importantly, matt saracen. ahhh.

clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose!

go watch it, really.

and if you have already seen it, just share in my fnl love for a minute.

my spidey senses are tingling...

...if you know what i mean.

hhhhh.

imagine dragons

oh.

my.

lanta.

no words. they are so good live.

they are so good anyway. but i was completely blown away.

i sang at the top of my lungs and danced until my legs were sore.

and i think i might have cried a little bit when they played this, this, and this all in a row.

rainy days are good days

i don't know what it is about waking up to the sound of rain pounding on the roof.

but i think it's my favorite sound in the whole world.

....

my other favorite sounds today:

the royal tenenbaums soundtrack.

wigwam - bob dylan

love love love - avalanche city

crossfire - brandon flowers

jessie's girl - rick springfield

....

also, danny gave me a globe for christmas. he is awesome.

i don't have much money. but boy if i did, i'd buy a big house where we both could live

when i hear a good song, i listen to it like a million times in a row.

this is a really good cover. i love the elton john song, but this is so much better!

i just love her. and the video makes me excited for winter clothes.

how wonderful life is, now that you're in the world.

i'm seeing harry potter again tonight.

couldn't have said it better myself.

one year ago

exactly one year ago i was here.

at harry potter world.

the epic conclusion.

Last night. So fun.

Also, this is what happens when your camera flash is broken. Pretend you like blurry pics.

i'm so excited. and sirius black is standing behind me.

want a dark mark? me and danny are professional dark mark-ers.

waiting waiting waiting.

Neville and our Mimbulus Mimbletonia.

Me and the most legit Lupin ever. I thought it was really him.

I could probably write a really long post about the movie.

I'll just say it in as few words as possible:

I loved it. It was perfect.

I thought I would be more sad right now, now that it's all over...

But I'm completely at peace inside.

It was the perfect ending.

Harry Potter is my greatest joy.

it's the hot time of year.

summer has been good to me. i have officially been working at my job for one month and i've gotten two saweet paychecks. i like that boy and he treats me like a princess. i have been reading harry potter books and listening to enya, bon iver, and edward sharpe nonstop. i watched ryan reynolds be a super hero. i got dirty feet from playing barefoot in the grass and have slept in a fort. i almost pulled an all nighter and have eaten a lot of otter pops; only the green ones. i went to a rodeo and drove in a jeep. i chalked the bk and hiked to a waterfall.

my days have been busy.

they have been good too.

and i'm going to the mountains to hang out at a lake for the rest of this week.

oh hallelujah. let's stop time for a while.

sometimes kirsten sneaks pictures of us, like the one above.

i'm glad she does.

my husband had better like camping

we will cook lots of things over a fire

and listen to birds chirp

and hike through tons of big trees

and skip rocks and ride in a boat on a pretty lake

and listen to coldplay and cat stevens because they sound good in when you're in nature

and look at stars

and cuddle under plaid blankets

husband, please like camping.

they are in love

I stayed up all night and watched the Royal Wedding.
Not to be unpatriotic or anything... but it was way better than any 4th of July celebration I have ever seen.
She was so radiant and beautiful. Both of them are so happy and in love.
It was like watching a fairytale, but it's real life!
Ahh.

deleted scene

i saw this and most definitely fell in love all over again.

the moulin rouge

the king's speech

i fell in love with this movie.

it was so good. and so so so well done.

everything was so pretty. the scenery, the sets, the costumes.

helena bonham carter, colin firth, and geoffrey rush were all phenomenal.

and it was actually funnier than i thought it would be. it was really witty humor.

this time period is so amazing to me.

ah, i loved it.

and alexandre desplat is becoming one of my favorite score composers.

ps - all my posts are double spacing themselves. i can't fix it. hm.

theme of my life.

"If we are feeling lousy, and the news is bad, and people are bad, what to we do? We go to the movies. We escape."

-Oprah Winfrey

That right there is one reason why I love movies so much. Just one reason.
