Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.

Obsessed with this song at the moment.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss.

Didn't die in the really bad storms today.

Today was good.

We shall call this a success.

Top 10 Guys I'd like to find under my Christmas tree

I am a happily married girl, but everyone has celebrity crushes and that's a wonderful & healthy thing. So even though I think my husband is the hottest, most wonderful, & patient man ever (because he absolutely is), this is a list of 10 guys I'd love to wake up to find that Santa Claus had left me under the tree. (In no particular order, except Jon Hamm, he's definitely #1).

Jon Hamm

If this one requires explanation I don't really know what to say except that you are undeserving of having the sense of sight.

Norman Reedus
BAMF. I've loved him since the original Boondock Saints movie. He's beautiful but rugged. No one's character can even get close to being as kickass as Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead. If they kill him off there's a good chance I'll stop watching because he is the only character on the show currently that I like at all.

Nathan Fillion
Caleb, Captain Mal, Captain Hammer, Castle, this guy's resume is a huge amazing nerd fest! He is really lovely to his fans, he interacts with people on Twitter, he's beautiful, and he's definitely one of the King Geeks. What I'm saying is Captain Mal can get it.

Marlon Brando - circa A Streetcar Named Desire
I know, I know, this one is kind of far fetched but Santa Claus is MAGIC! I have absolute faith that he can make this happen. While watching Streetcar I have really conflicting emotions because I think of myself as a feminist and his character is HORRIBLE but LOOK AT HIM.

Gary Oldman
He is such a great actor. You literally forget you're looking at Gary and believe him as anyone he is trying to be. He can play any part and he plays them all amazingly. Plus, look at him, he's really hot. I'd have to try really hard to overlook the fact that he's a republican but for that face I think I can do it.

Donald Glover
I fell in love with the entire cast of Community but there's just something so endearing about Troy. When I found out he did music I wasn't expecting much (I'm not a big rap fan) but I really love his music as well. My husband & I went to see him do stand-up and do a show last year and it was amazing.

Ian Somerhalder

My friend and I were discussing how unfairly attractive he is the other day. It's kind of ridiculous. I loved him on Lost but I just can't bring myself to watch Vampire Diaries.

Ryan Gosling
An exception to my "I don't really likes blondes" rule. He has done a lot of movies I don't care about and have never seen (Yes, I am talking about The Notebook). Recently he's started making movies that I enjoy such as Blue Valentine, Drive, and The Ides of March, thus the crush began.

Damien Rice
Who doesn't love a guy with a guitar? I'm sure after we broke up he'd write mean songs about me, but that's okay, it'd be awesome while it lasted.

The Doctor
This one is cheating because there's actually 11 doctors but I'd gladly take any version. If I had to pick I'd probably go with 9 because our personalities would be best suited for one another. Traveling all through time and space would pretty much be the most amazing thing ever! Plus, once the Doctor dies you get a whole new regenerated version of him!

Tactile Tuesday - you gotta get your hands on this!

So optimistically I'd like to update once a week with awesome things that I'm currently in love with, realistically I know that isn't going to happen so the name of this will change depending on what day it is but it will still be the same premise.

I declare today Tactile Tuesday!

As I mentioned earlier I'm in the nail tech program, this means I play with nail polish a lot. I just got a color that I am absolutely in love with. The strange thing is that I hate red, it's my least favorite color but this nail polish is absolutely beautiful. I typically don't wear red or pink on my nails because I find them predictable and boring so finding a red and actually loving it and wanting to wear it (over all my typical awesome greens and blacks and blues) is really saying something. The color is called "Color So Hot It Berns" and it's from the OPI Swiss Collection for Fall 2010. This red is bright and unlike any other red I've ever found. I love the intensity of the color. My original plan was to use this color for my candy cane nails for Christmas but it's so pretty by itself that I just can't bring myself to stripe the white over it.


Here is the bottle. If you Google you can see how it looks on nails. It's absolutely gorgeous.

Along with the rest of the world I've been crushing on Jenny Lewis for years. She's talented, adorable, and she was in THE WIZARD! Her music has helped me through some rough times. Imagine how excited I was when I saw that Portions for Foxes by her band Rilo Kiley was on Rockband 3! I've been rocking out to that one on bass singing into our new mic stand. It's not my favorite Rilo Kiley song but I DO love it and it's fun to sing. Anyway what I really wanted to talk about is Jenny & Johnny, Jenny's newest project with her adorable boyfriend Johnathon Rice. Their debut album "I'm Having Fun Now" is hands down my favorite CD from 2010. Here's a video of Jenny & Johnny performing on Conan the other night. Give them a listen if you haven't yet and if you don't already listen to Rilo Kiley & Jenny's solo albums you should check those out as well.



I watched Black Swan last night and it absolutely lived up to all of the hype that has been surrounding it. It was thrilling and moving despite figuring it out very early on. I was not disappointed for even a millisecond while watching it. It was perfectly done (which is kind of ironic wording if you've seen it). I've always loved Natalie, Mila, and Winona and maybe I'm going out on a limb here but I think this is all of their best work to date. I won't say anything else because I know I get pissy when some a-hole on the internet ruins a movie for me by saying just one small thing. GO SEE THIS MOVIE.


That's it for Tactile Tuesday. I hope you enjoy these things as much as I am.
