Lykke Li – No Rest For the Wicked

I was actually reintroduced to this song on Friday on a rotating playlist that we had for the studio we rented for work. I listened to the song earlier this year, but forgot about it until now and definitely (by accident) left it off of my playlists. Oops.

Harper’s Bazaar Holiday Themed Spread

In addition to having a real job that I can call my own post grad, I am also looking forward to next year’s holiday parties! (I mean – we’re crossing our fingers that I’ll have a job post grad.) I’ll finally have a place to wear the holiday dresses that are collecting dust up in my closet. This holiday spread for Harper’s Bazaar is short and sweet, but they sure do make these parties seem like fun, don’t they?

The spread features Santigold, Lykke Li, Sky Ferreira, Charlotte Gainsbourg and more.

Let’s Talk: New Moon

I’ve never been a Twilight fan, but I’ve never been opposed to it either. I tried it out. I read 20 pages of the first book and watched the first movie. I’m curious to see how the story line goes so I will continue to watch the movies, but in no way do I find myself even remotely enjoying it.

One scene in particular made me laugh a little bit to myself. I was watching this w/ my mother by the way, and there’s that one scene where KStew approaches the shirtless men w/ her ‘tude and then BAM! out of nowhere… JACOB.

My mom nonchalantly says: What happened to animal activists? I’m gonna call them.

Anyways watching the movie tonight brought up a few questions I had:

  • Why is there no consistency in the movie? Scenes coming out of nowhere, nothing feels like it is organized that well… it’s a little hard to watch.
  • The man-bear dogs are so cute!
  • After that grueling fight between Jacob and the shirtless man, everything was resolved with a “sorry?” Talk about drama…
  • The soundtrack to the movie is so good. Death Cab for Cutie AND Lykke Li? It’s too bad the music can’t save the movie.
  • Do you ever feel that Bella puts herself in the worst situations? She’s practically asking for it.
  • Bella commenting on Jacob’s body heat, “You’re like your own sun.” WHAT a pickup line.
  • Bella and Jacob – such a tease
  • Romeo and Juliet reference? Is that really necessary?
  • Edward…be more emo please. Also, there was not enough of him in this movie. More Rob less Kstew please.
  • Kristen Stewart – I dare you to produce one complete sentence without a gasp of air, breaks in between, or stuttering.

So excited for Eclipse!
