Things I plan to get away from & Max Justus
Pretty soon I'm moving from LA to Portland. There are many things I am hoping to get away from in this icky town. The main one being complete pop-culture immersion. I work in entertainment (reality tv to be specific), and being plugged in to pop-culture is second nature. It's everywhere. This is something I really want to get away from when I move. I want to be ... smart? Deep? I'll just aim fo...

NPH & Sparks
Today I want to spend a little time talking about 2 *old* news items that still hold so much joy.#1 NPH. Neil Patrick Harris.In the olden days, he was Doogie Howser, the brilliant teenage doctor. Then for quite a long time, I didn't hear anything about him. Suddenly my favorite sit-com became How I Met Your Mother, which has the cult-studded cast of Alyson Hannigan (of personal cult favorite Bu...

Voodoo Doughnuts & Floating with Jape
The first time I heard about Voodoo Doughnut was about a year ago on Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" on the Travel Channel. Since then, it seems like everyone talks about it. How did I not know about this infamous doughnut shop before?If you are still not in the know, let me bring you up to speed. Voodoo Doughnut is located in Portland, OR and is amazing... a tiny little shop, seated in th...

Holes in my clothes (and my favorite guilty pleasure song is redeemed)
I think I'm a fairly attractive female. Maybe sort of likeable, sarcastic, fashionable. But I'm not Los Angeles' poster child for Thin. So I wore some holes in my jeans... you know, in the thighs, where normal-sized women wear holes.I think in a perfect world I'd be an adorable, petite Japanese girl who knows how to skateboard, thus got holes in the knees of her jeans. But anyway, I continue to..

The Lonely Robot
Wall-E rocked. We all knew it would... a nearly perfect movie. As Iain says, it really would have been perfect if it had ended before all the human storyline... BUT STILL this has been such an amazing summer for movies.And honestly, I can't believe that The Future Bible Heroes song "The Lonely Robot" wasn't the theme song. It's a lyrical journey of what WOULD have become of Wall-E, had Eve not ...

If you miss Daft Punk...And I went dumpster diving
Things have been a little quiet since the hype died down about Daft Punk's "Alive 2007" album released last year. While the joy of the live recording kept me going for a long time, I've slowly relinquished my obsession. I didn't really realize how much I missed the distinctive Daft beat until I came upon this simple, yet nostalgic gem from 1998 done by Stardust (Thomas Bangalter, Alan Braxe & B...

My car and Ellen Alien
I have this great car. Toyota Echo from 2000... named J.J. She's nearly 9 years old and up until this year was running perfectly. In the past 3 months I've had to replace a lot: tires, shocks, struts, brakes, and battery.Then I finally moved in with my boyfriend and his neighborhood is parking-challenged. It's a residential neighborhood but everything within a mile is 1 to 2 hour parking only! ...

Silly news articles and Cut Copy
You know in those movies where a hero time travels or escapes supernatural captivity and has to shed his clothes and hijack a bus and all the public is a twitter because they aren't in on the fact that really he was a desperate hero, doing everything he could to survive so that he could eventually save the fate of mankind?Well, the other day I saw this article:Naked man hijacks busA naked man w...

Aaaaaand I'm back!
So, after a year away from the blog, I've got all new musical inspirations to share!Again, I've never viewed this blog as much a music-review page, but more of a I-share-my-thoughts-about-whatever-and-also-talk-about-my-favorite-dance-music.My tastes have changed a little and I've grown a more interested in non-lyrical electronic music. But I still really love all good dance music and I can't w...
