i heart the eighties

found a cd i made in college (napster just came out, and i hadn't) of eighties songs. here are some of the treasures that got me smiling and rocking out on my morning drive today:

"if she knew what she wants" - bangles
"sunday girl" - blondie
"tenderness" - general public
"just got lucky" - joeboxers
"we close our eyes" - oingo boingo
"the last of the famous international playboys" - the smiths
"you might think" - the cars
"something so strong" - crowded house
"train in vain" - the clash

random hump day thoughts

i got an email from a coworker this morning with this subject line: "Seven Great Teen Pop Songs by Heidi in the LA Times"

...it linked me to this picture instead of the article: http://www.washingtonart.net/asalon/cards/Big-Mama-5x7.jpg

i love the new gap ads with chris evans and the piv:

i sang along to "Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand" by primitive radio gods on my way to work today. i love nineties music.

why is everyone and their mom coming out with a new album? justin (not that i'm complaining), christina, jessica, paris, hilary, ashley, vanessa, corbin, debbie...i mean everyone!

there's a really funny commercial for cingular's go-phone that's on right now. a mom and her daughter are arguing but they're saying things like "you are acting like such an adult" and "i love you." funny shit.

london calling

"how come everytime you come around, my london, london bridge wanna go down?" okay, it's a stupidly-catchy pop ditty from fergie BUT it's also the soundtrack to now until november. why? because sasha and i bought our tickets to london last night. i'm beyond excited. it's going to be a cram-tastic trip! the brits better watch out hehe. should i be concerned with yesterday's news of threats to planes inbound from london? of course. we'll be extra careful and hope for the best, that's all. nothing can and should stop me from traveling. i've decided it's what i need to do more. so, i'm starting it out by going to the land of princess di, the sex pistols, the smiths, alexander mcqueen, oasis, kate moss, robbie williams, madge's hot husband, spice girls, thom yorke, david beckham, the bbc and, everything else that fits under category: absolutely fabulous.

more than words

i'm one of those people who will say you've been to one wedding, you've been to all of them. well, i attended one of the best wedding ceremonies in my life yesterday. sandra (my brother's sister-in-law) married her bf of six plus years frank in a beautiful botanical garden in somis, ca. in front of family and friends, they exchanged vows in sign language. both are deaf and mute (as were a lot of the guests). there was an interpreter, but i focused on the way sandra and frank expressed their love, and promised a lifetime of commitment to each other without uttering a single word. just their hands and facial expressions. there was not one dry eye throughout the whole thing. i am so blessed to have them as part of my extended family.

a pat on the back

marcus took some measurements this morning, and both of us were very happy with the results. of course this is just a starting point for me. i'm going to work even harder to achieve my goal. it's a good way to start 29.

couple of things going on in the next few weeks. i'm possibly going to run nike's run hit remix in september with my co-peeps. there's the idol audition that is happening next week. renea's really serious about it. she should get the feature, not me! i still don't know what to perform. ass like that by eminem? miss new booty? decisions, decisions.

i'm going to find out soon how many days i can take off in october for u to the k. me and david beckham lounging poolside at the soho house.

elizabitch hasselfreak should be voted off the view. heidi pass is totes right about her. and i'm also blogging random notes like heidi pass.
