Today's been a bit of a hard day. )

In other news, I've been looking at some other places for baking schools/classes because a full tuition for the Art Institute is a little much. I mean, I'm sure they'd be much more thorough and maybe you'd have better chances with that behind you, but $33,000 is a little scary sounding. Especially since, while I love baking, I also loved archaeology and who knows what I'll end up doing and for how long. But I found a baking/pastry certificate at City College and it's non-credit. Which means it's FREE. I'm too late for the spring classes, but the summer schedule should be up on March 15th so I can see if it's available then. It'll be Mon-Fri 6-12pm which means 6am to noon and while that would kind of suck, at least I'd be out of the house and I'd have the rest of the afternoon free to work or whatever. I still need to do some serious thinking and planning, but the baking thing is sounding more and more plausible at least.

Also, I'm currently in love with/addicted to Jessie J. I've already posted one of her vids, 'Who You Are', but here are a few more (including that one again). Her first single is 'Do It Like a Dude' and she wrote 'Party in the USA' and based on that, you might wonder why I'm listening to her, LOL. But she seems like a genuinely nice person. She writes her own music and I love how passionate she is. She's always smiling while she sings. IDK, I just really admire that. Her music is also very inspiring and has really hit a chord with me. She also sounds great live/acoustic and I can't say that about too many artists these days. Anyways, she's my newest girlcrush and I can't wait for her CD to come out (~5 days in the UK and in the US we get it late April).



A few more vids/songs )

Today was an... interesting day. Not the best. But tomorrow I get to deposit my pay check, I open at work so I get to leave 'early,' and right after work I'm taking the train (and bus) to Santa Cruz where I will stay with my friend until Sunday when we will drive to San Francisco for the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown. So I'm just going to focus on the good right now because there may be some more suckiness in the near future.

Oh, and this made me smile today (brother!bands are like a kryptonite of mine):

You better believe Hanson is still around.

Dead Man's Bones



I only wish that 'NAME IN STONE' had been on that album as well.

And in case you wanted to know more about them (I did!), [livejournal.com profile] luxover has a fantastic DMB primer here.

AND here's an article written by Ryan Gosling (with pictures) - Ryan Gosling’s Diary of the Dead

-------

Is it completely ridiculous to feel like you're cheating on a crush with another crush? Because that's how I feel. Like I thought I was 'over' Ryan Gosling and I'm now 'with' Ikuta Toma, but here comes Ryan again and we have a history. Ooooor maybe that's just me, LOL.

But even ignoring the whole Ryan aspect, I actually REALLY enjoy their music. It's the kind of weird, spooky-yet-fun kind of stuff I love. Ever since I was little, I've wanted to live in Halloween Town (the Nightmare Before Christmas one, not so much the Disney version). Or at the very least, have haunted house sounds playing in my apartment. In my dorm I kept my Halloween decorations up all year long. I am biased, having been born in October, but Halloween is my favorite holiday. Point is, I'm disappointed in myself for not knowing about this project earlier. But now that I know, I will enjoy the hell out of it.

Between Jude Law being on a Japanese show with Toma, finding out Ryan is in a Halloween-musical style band ('Halloween hymns'), seeing Joe Jonas tweet about The Notebook (making real men cry), and finding out that USA Network is filming crossover promo shoots featuring USA Characters (White Collar/Psych for example!! - http://community.livejournal.com/psych_tv/344630.html), it's been a weird mind-bendy couple of days. Now, if I found out Ryan was a fan of the Mighty Boosh, I could call it a day.

Every time I want to post something happy, my mother does something that just makes me feel sick to my stomach. Cut so I don't have to see it )

Ugh. I hate how it seems like all I do lately is complain, especially about her.

I went to the doctor today. My stomach's been acting up and I just wanted to make sure everything is alright. It's probably my diet, but I have some pills and I'm going back in 2 weeks.

ANYWAY. There are many things making me happy right now. Mostly fandom-related, but I'll take what I can get.

Toma's been promoting the hell out of his new movie so he's appearing all over the place. Too quickly for the subbers to keep up, so I'm watching most of it raw. Which is interesting, lol. It's alright. I love his voice. I'd be happy listening to him read the phone book. Wouldn't understand a damn thing, but I'd have that shit on repeat. I'm not sure where I was originally going with this, so I'll move on. Though I must say, GODDAMMIT I WISH I WAS IN JAPAN RIGHT NOW! I don't know how long I'll have to wait to see his movie *pouts*

Ummm... in other news. I might be falling for Ryan Gosling all over again. Well, kind of. It feels more mature than before, LOL. I first crushed on him back in Breaker High. No, wait. Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark? were the first things I saw him in. Either way, he played a dork. Then he went all 'serious independent actor' and was nominated for an Oscar. He was finally free to be his weird-ass self. Oh, and then he was in The Notebook and suddenly everyone loved him. The point I'm getting to is that I knew he was a semi-musician, but I didn't know he was actually in a band that released a CD back in October. Their name is 'Dead Man's Bones' and they have songs such as "My Body is a Zombie for You" and "Flowers Grow Out of My Grave."

Dead Man's Bones



And here's their video for Dead Hearts. It's different. I love it. Am also slightly disturbed by it. )

This is my first full day off in like two weeks. So I ordered a pizza and I'm watching movies. I am not leaving the house for any reason. I just finished Post Grad and while I thought it might make me kind of depressed about my own situation, it's mostly just boring and predictable. Now I'm going to make some tea and watch Whiteout because I'm in the mood for bad movies, apparently. After that, it'll be Relative Values because Colin Firth and Stephen Fry!

PPS: Anyone else think Mika's Dr. John sounds rather movieverse!Holmes/Watson, albeit a bit cracky.

I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my mama’s face
When her son's in the corner, undone

She says that my life is over
"Boy, you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder"
She gave me her hand, but I ignored her

Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
Cuz I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
Oh, Dr. John

I was looking up songs online that I hear every day at work. Turns out I like Jesse McCartney o_0

Anyhoo, I was just wondering if anybody had "Life Gave Me Lemonade" and/or "When Did You Fall In Love With Me?" by Chris Rice. In return, I have the music I currently can't get out of my head:

New Psych tonight! After rewatching episodes and (having started) reading one of the 'novels,' I just want to say that I love how Shawn's dad has pretty much accepted Shawn and Gus as a couple. Oh, and USA just used a clip of Shawn & Gus to advertise for a matchmaking service <3
spacemonkeyluvn: (toma:: music)
Song I can't stop listening to atm:

How Six Songs Collide by Norwegian Recycling

It makes me happy. In my soul.

AKA, guess what's stuck in my head now!



The Little Mermaid icon is just because I was having a conversation with my boss earlier about why Ariel is awesome (and the reason I'm slightly obsessed with having red hair).
