1) Last night I watched Waitress at sophia_helix and actoplasm's and ate Tasty Bites with Whole Wheat Naan. The movie was heartbreaking and uplifting and had just the right touch of realism mixed in. As a result today I am a little in love with Nathan Fillion as tends to happen sometimes. Also I wanted pie by the time we got 15 minutes in.

2) I have realized that the music I have on my computer/ipod is really out of date not just in terms of not being new but because it's really out of step with who I am now and is kind of depressing. I have invited my brother to select 100 songs for me to start listening to. I now invite you all to pimp me up to 5 songs (preferably with download links or you can email me the mp3s). Like I said I am leaning towards things that are more upbeat but I am open to pretty much anything.

4) That 10 Things That Are Making Me Happy Today Meme:

* The prospect of getting my hair done tonight.
* Getting to see Jeremy at lunch (even though it is because he is home in pain).
* 2 Dics of Tru Calling waiting to be watched while snuggling up with Jeremy.
* The arrival of my new minion to work her first shift today.
* My ipod and it's ability to shield me from everyone's yapping at the office.
* The fact that the cat followed me around this morning as if she liked me.
* That it's been fairly warm and sunny this week so far.
* The fact that the Plain White Ts actually got nominated for a Grammy.
* The "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" video.
* A general Matt Damon renaissance.

I really want to see Waitress.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed it. I'd been meaning to see it since it came out and I was not disappointed. Just make sure you have pie on hand when you do watch it.

[aphrodite-mine.livejournal.com]

Waitress is one of the best movies ever.

I shall get you music. Yes. Yes I shall.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I was really pleased by it even though I had high expectations coming in which is always a testament to excellence.

[propernice.livejournal.com]

How do you feel about 80's music?

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I am in favor.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

The fact that the Plain White Ts actually got nominated for a Grammy.
I thought of you when I heard that! And they had a big story in Entertainment Weekly, too!

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

It's really nice to see, if somewhat surprising after all this time.

Thanks!

[hobviously.livejournal.com]

Hee, Cow gave YOU Liz.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

It is sort of cute really.

[propernice.livejournal.com]

I have a lot of songs that I wanted to send you, but it's a good thing you limited it to five, because apparently songs bought on iTunes can't be uploaded and downloaded by anyone else. Also, there's only one 80's song, but my last comment made it sound like all five were going to be 80s.

So, here are my five, in no real order of preference; I just love them.

1. 'Catch My Disease' by Ben Lee (http://www.box.net/shared/tny17wmwwg)
This one gets me going in the mornings.

2. 'Next 2 You' by Buckcherry (http://www.box.net/shared/l0835grgg0)
When I feel like totally rocking out and listening to my music loud, this is the song I start with.

3. 'Put Your Hands On Me' by Joss Stone (http://www.box.net/shared/eh1v86zggc)
This is my favorite Joss Stone song ever, ever, ever. I love her voice and the range is wide on this one.

4. 'Suddenly I See' by KT Tunstall (http://www.box.net/shared/uxiosq2o08)
Just an upbeat song that you probably already have, but I figured I'd throw it on the list because I really do love it.

5. 'Karma Chameleon' by Culture Club (http://www.box.net/shared/lff83tnok0)
My very guilty pleasure favorite 80's song. And really, just the chorus. It's so catchy, and I love it.

I uploaded all of these to my box.net account so that instead of actually having to download them, you should be able to listen to them first :D

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much. I am going to be excited to listen to these when I get home tonight.

[sophia-helix.livejournal.com]

Now I feel bad for disliking some of your icons!

All my music posts (http://sophia-helix.livejournal.com/tag/music)

Still talking with a semi-Texan twang, and have the pie song stuck in my head. Thankful I still have pie.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

You hater!

I totally was humming it to myself all last night and today it is mixed in very inappropriately with "I'm fucking Matt Damon"

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Nathan Fillion *sigh*

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Indeed. So charming.

[hobviously.livejournal.com]

Five songs I would upload if I could, which I can't.

Arcade Fire - Intervention
Mason Jennings - Darkness Between the Fireflies
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Mysteries
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution - It's a Wonderful Life
Björk - Innocence
Regina Spektor - Ezra Pound, just in case you don't have it.

Music I can direct you to.

DESA's new EP is online (http://www.desadesadesa.com/routes.html). I haven't heard it yet but I'm trusting them.
Hella awesome mashups: http://bootieusa.com/bestofbootie2007/index.htm
Zooey Deschanel singing: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=211382429
Joanna Newsom - Only Skin. Repeat as necessary. I made you buy that album for a reason, dammit.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

That is six songs, guy. Just saying...

Thank you though.

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

i'm tempted to be a renegade and tick the ones i like!

take that!!!!
if i do

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

But that's the point. How would it be renegade?

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

then i can't read!!! ha, take THAT!!!

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Oh Em! Sometimes I worry about you.

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

i worry about me too!!!

i'm always in such a rush, i can't even read simple words AND then comprehend them!!! jeeeeeze!

so i must ammend a choice, or rather explain: i think we all need a "working" type icon (i have my "smart" one for example) and i think you should have one too...so i selected "working" not so much for the icon, but the concept.

back to not comprehending what i read...

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Slow down Em.. you are going to like combust!

[hella-em.livejournal.com]

but i caaaan't...there's too much to do! as soon as the bleach fumes die down i have to get back to cleaning...while simultaneously writing a proposal in my head...and i forgot the 3rd thing. shoot.

i made new icons! your post inspired me. tomorrow at work i'll add the words to them. woot.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Always glad to be inspiring.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

I feel so bad not voting for the Mickey icon, but I am a wee bit too picky sometimes

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I don't know why it's so hard to find a decent Mickey icon.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Most people don't like him so the great icon makers just don't bother? super secret ship: Mickey and Jake

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Totally CANON.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Oh I know, he leaves the girl he was in love with behind to ride off into the sunset with Jake ^__^ So great

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

I need icons of Jake, of Mickey, and of Jake and Mickey, also more Ianto Jones and Sally Sparrow (not together... I think)

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Oh I love Sally Sparrow so much!

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

She is another one like Mickey that it is hard to find great icons of, or at least, in my experience

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Well the whole being in one episode thing kind of makes that make sense.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

But she was just so awesome, and at least she was the star of that episode. I also adore Donna, totally and utterly, and that was after one episode. But she is definitely come back and I can't wait, and soon there will be even more icons if her ^__^ I think once the new series starts I will have to use my third (first) journal just so that I can have a Donna themed one

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I just mean there's less actual footage as a result.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know, that's what I meant, at least she was the star of the ep, so there is more footage of her than say... Shakespeare, who I also need icons of. Why do I keep falling for characters that we get to see so little of? Jake, Sally, Shakespeare, even Mickey to some extent.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Oh Shakespeare! (see icon)

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

^__^ That icon is marvelous. I would marry that icon ^__^

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I've really been wanting to rewatch that ep recently.

I have been too budy watching Tru Calling and Babylon 5 though.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

It aired weekend before last on BBC America, I have it save d on my DVR to watch, but I haven't had time yet. I think I am saving it.

I need to watch Tru Calling

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Yes you do. SO much pretty Eliza!
