Gleeking out!

I can't wait for all my shows to come back this fall, especially GLEE!! This video is one of my favorite performances by Finn and Rachel.

2010 Emmys

The 2010 Emmys aired this Sunday and of course I watched everything from the red carpet on E! to the red carpet on NBC and to the very last "Thank you and Goodnight!" Jimmy Fallon did an awesome job of hosting this year. I expected him to be funny, crazy and entertaining and he sure did deliver.

I absolutely loved the opening with the cast of Glee and surprise friends- Joel McHale (Community and The Soup), Jorge Garcia (Lost), some chick from vampire diaries, Betty White, and the delicious Jon Hamm (Mad Men). Overall the show was different and cool. Of course it had its slow moments, but it was better than most have been in the past.

Here are a few of my favorite Emmy Styles:

Tina Fey can do no wrong. This gown is so classy.

Newly single Elisabeth Moss is making her ex-hubby regret his life in this amazing dress!


Heather Morris really caught my attention in this dress.
Usually I don't love all glitter but this was done so right!

Jon Hamm is hotter than Don Draper.
It's probably the hair that's doing it for me.

I don't like when celebrities wear one color making them a
blob of brownish blonde hair, makeup, and dress- but Claire Danes pulled this one off perfectly.

My favorite of the evening! Lea Michele is adorable already
so when she rocked this navy Oscar de la Renta dress heads were turning!

At first I was unsure about Kim Kardashian's dress.
My mom hated it--she thought she should have showed off her curves more, haha.
But honestly I think it was classy and perfect for the night. She looked like Cleopatra!

The end!

New Beats!

Thank you Sweet Nothings for giving me a first listen to this song! It's such a sweet song and very addictive.

Day 11 - A song from your favorite band

A song from my favorite band: "Be Somebody" -Kings of Leon



Kings of Leon is definitely a band I love--not sure about favorite band ever, but definitely a favorite. "Be Somebody" is such a great song. It makes me want to do just that "be somebody." I use this song when I need to feel motivated. Awesome lyrics, beat, and the guys are definitely lookers.

Enjoy!

inspiration

this is so spot on.
(I mean I know the emotional and sensitive definitely fits--hopefully the rest does too!)




I NEED THIS!!! I mean come on, some of the best movie quotes ever!


I love all these pieces. I would totally decorate my apartment with these.

Concert Review!

Hello all! So as I clearly made it known earlier that I was attending the Something Corporate concert last Friday and it well, it was magical! I went with a good friend of mine Sarah, who I hadn't spent quality time with in a while so it was nice to catch up! We were beyond excited to start up the celebrating of our youth again with delicious four dollar margaritas at Mother Burger, however four margs later and we were running kinda late to Roseland for the show. We get there and the line is wrapped around the building--twice. FML. No worries, my slightly intoxicated self somehow got us to the front of the line and we were in NO time. Cheers!

Once inside the Roseland, Sarah waited for a friend in the lobby while I knew I had to get in the pit or we were going to see miniature Andrew and friends and I did NOT wait 24 years to see one of my high school dreams get shit on by tweens! Soo as I made my way toward the stage, I made a few friends along the way. They we're over ecstatic fans who squealed over the idea that their beloved Andrew would be feet away. Little did they know that I met him, twice. ;) After befriending these little ones, I decided to ask their age. Their response--17, 18, and 20. WTF IS MY LIFE. I felt like a granny up there, but couldnt help but also think, how the F did these kids know Something Corporate. They we're popular when I was 17. Sick.

Anyway, the concert eventually started--with Sarah and new friend Seth by my side-- and it was a blast. No opener and 1.5 hours of non-stop punk rock goodness. They played a few of my faves--She Paints Me Blue, Cavanaugh Park and the heartbreaker- Konstantine. Andrew sounded wonderful and rocked out on the piano as always. Sarah and I were really hoping for them to sing "Walking By" but I guess one ballad-esque song was enough (especially since Konstantine is 9mins long!)

Overall I the concert left me feeling 17 again. I recalled all the moments I had listening to SOCO in high school and crying over some boy drama or something of the like. Regardless, it was awesome. Now I await seeing Jimmy Eat World in September with my sis! Yet another high school dream come true!

Keep in mind that there's no need to be in a hurry. If you continue putting in a small amount of time toward your goals every day, you will be a success.

I really needed to read this today.

Thank you Horoscope.

I'M GOING TO SEE SOMETHING CORPORATE IN CONCERT TONIGHT!!! AHHHHHHHH! MY TEEN SELF IS FREAKING THE F*CK OUT!

Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep

I know I have been failing at these lately. It's hard to keep up when your personal computer is in shambles and you don't really want to get caught ignoring work, so please bare with me my very few readers.

A song that makes me fall asleep: "See you Soon"- Coldplay



I love everything about Coldplay. I love that I can find a song to fit every single one of my moods. When I read this song challenge--I didnt think of a song that bores me, thus making me fall asleep, but rather a song that helps me fall asleep. Whenever I have a hard time passing out at night (which is rare) I put coldplay quietly on my IPOD and set it near my pillow. Most Coldplay songs are calming and soothing--making sleep come sooner. I love their sound and this song especially. This live version is too good to be true. There's so much depth and emotion in this song. Calms and moves me all at once.

Enjoy!!

Summerstage!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of volunteering at Central Park's Summerstage concert series. Last night's performance was by a group called Complexions Contemporary Ballet. This wasn't like your conservative tutu-wearing ballet--the dancers were modern and loose. Their motive is to dance with no boundaries. It was beautiful and moving and I loved every minute of it.

My job as a volunteer was to attend the stand at the entrance and hand out programs and Summerstage schedules. I also had to ask for donations-seeing that without donations there would be no Summerstage at all. All the events held there are free except for a few larger acts, but overall its a wonderful experience on a cheap budget. I met some awesome people, all with the same goals/major, hoping that volunteering at Summerstage would better their opportunities in the real world. I also got to watch the show while working--so fun!! i Felt like I was back in college and was a member of the Crew in SCPAB again :)

Overall it was a great night. SO many donations--I was surprised honestly. In a tough economy and at a free event in NYC, I seriously didn't expect to see many people donating over a dollar. However we had various people hand in 20's, 10's and 5's! Not going to lie it made me smile and I was happy that people wanted to support the arts and Summerstage! Also the event brought all walks of life. I was expecting an older more mature crowd at a ballet, but there was all ages at this event. It was brilliant! My favorite piece was their U2 compilation called 'Rise.' After having a crappy day, this piece brighten my spirits. I loveee U2 and the dance they created to go along to it was beautiful.

Such a fine time, I suggest everyone to get out to Summerstage and enjoy a free event this summer! Most of all- DONATE :)

Titanic + Arabic instruments= heaven.

I think I have found a new obsession: weddings. I know you gasp thinking "Omg, you're not thinking of marriage are you?"" Answer is: Hell no. However, I love wedding ceremonies, pictures, design, dresses, creativity, flowers, music. EVERYTHING about weddings warms my heart and soul.

This song above will be what I walk down the aisle to. If my husband doesn't like it than he can suck it. It's the freakin Titanic song in an Arabic instrumental version. I'm DYING.

It's Kind of a Funny Story

This movie looks good! Interesting, funny, smart--my type of movie. The cast is a great lineup too! Starring Zach Galifianakis (LOVE HIM), Kier Gilchrist, Viola Davis, Emma Roberts, Zoe Kravitz, Lauren Graham, Jim Gaffigan and Aasif Mandvi.

In Theatres Sept 24th. I'm sold!

Day 09 - A song that you can dance to

A song I can dance to: "I Got a Feeling" Black Eyed Peas



Let's be serious here--this song makes anyone want to get up and dance! This song puts me in such a good mood! Great beat to rock out to!

quotes that speak to me.

Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to

A song I know all the words to: "Dirty Pop" *NSYNC




No Joke. I used to eat, breathe and sleep these guys. OBSESSION was an understatement. I remember when this jam came out I was ecstatic. I was certain these guys would be around forever (they stopped recording after this CD, tear!) This song was so good though. I knew every lyric and still do. Go ahead, judge away, but NSYNC was the sh*t back in my day!

*NJOY!

spot on...

“I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and sometimes hard to handle; but if you can’t handle me at my worst then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at by best.”

Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event

Song that reminds me of a certain event: "Be With You"- Mr. Big



This song brings me back to sophomore year-Russell Dinning Hall-Lunch/Dinner time- with my 5 best friends. This song would pop in one of our heads and immediately we would stop the chatter and sing along. I don't mean just sing it to ourselves, I mean belt it out in the middle of the dining hall for all to hear. We carried this tradition everywhere--bars, walking to parties, dorm parties, the gym--everywhere. It was amazing and always left us crying/laughing. I miss those days so much.
