Hello new time waster...I think I love you

I was just introduced to Skins a "coming of age" teen drama type show, that doesn't try to be trendy (no one is busting out their i-phones), doesn't sugar coat things and doesn't try to be anything more than it is - stories about teenagers in the UK. I am really digging it so far.

I’m going to make it by any means I got a pocketful of dreams

About a week ago Colin's sister Joanne won a radio show prize to see Alicia Keys called "Keys to the Suite" basically the way it works is she and 9 of her friends are treated to a night out - limo ride, fine dining, backstage passes and a suite to see the show from, and last night Joanne asked ME to be one of her 9 friends! I am really excited! I mean I don't necessary listen to a lot of Alicia Keys, but lets face it, lady has some sweet pipes and anything she does will be fantastic! Mostly I am just so happy that Joanne included me to be a part of the evening. I tried to Google some more information about this prize and all I found was a blog from some 40 year old woman complaining that Joanne won and not her...too funny, if you are super bored you can check it out oldladyblog.

One step closer to earning my thick rimmed glasses!

I have finally become nerdy enough to be able to make links work within my blog, instead of cut and pasting them, just to have most of them not work!

Dear Google, Thank you for helping me nerdify myself.

Now maybe I will stop getting the side eye from all you seasoned blogger's (Jenny) ha ha.

So for my first attempt at this, you can check out one of many blogs I have been digging lately (click the highlighted and underlined words) Fuckyeahlove - which coincidentally is also where I found this photo!

At Second Glance

Last night Colin and I decided to take in Shutter Island for a second time around. (I love toonie Tuesdays at Rainbow.)
The second viewing of this movie, was even better than the first, it allowed me to look at everything from a different perspective - the perspective of knowing! Knowing the twists and turns of the movie, allowed me to sit back and watch everything unfold, which it seem to do in almost a totally different way. This movie is incredible and if you haven't gone out to see it yet go now, and then go back a week later to watch it again, the second viewing almost makes it another movie within itself!
Also, I am now on the hunt for the Shutter Island book that the movie is based on, I am interested to know how the movie is different and how things are portrayed when you are reading them, instead of watching them!

Rose Of My Heart

Rose Of My Heart

We're the best partners this world's ever seen
Together we're as close as can be
But sometimes it's hard to find time in between
To tell you what you mean to me
You are the rose of my heart
You are the love of my life
A flower not faded nor falling apart
If you're tired, rest your head on my arm
Rose of my Heart.
When sorrow holds you in it's arms of clay
It's raindrops that fall from your eyes
Your smile is the sun come to earth for a day
You brighten my blackest of skies
You are the rose of my heart
You are the love of my life
A flower not faded nor falling apart
If you're cold let my love make you warm
Rose of my heart
So hard times aren't easy times,what do I care
There's nothing I'd change if I could
The tears and the laughter are things that we share
Your hand in mine makes it good
You are the rose of my hear
t You are the love of my life
A flower not faded nor falling apart
If you're tired, rest your head on my arm
Rose of my Heart.
You are the rose of my heart
You are the love of my life
A flower not faded nor falling apart
If you're tired, rest your head on my arm
Rose of my Heart.

Johnny Cash recorded (it is a cover) this song when June Carter died. Last night Colin played this song for me - as in this song is for me. He has played it once before, and this song makes me cry, it is so sweet and if it is possible every time I hear this song it makes me love Colin even more.

I am in love with how you feel

New Found Glory and Paramore cover Anyone else but you. I already love this song, because it is so adorable, covered by these two is super sweet. Even if the sound quality is pretty bad, the giggle at the end makes my heart happy.

and I'll be gone before the break of dawn

So aside from watching the greatest hockey game of the year, this weekend was pretty great!
Friday night, Colin and I went to the new bar down the street, The Ale House to meet up with the old GoodLife crew, it was really nice to see everyone again and mostly watch Shelley get ridiculously tipsy. After the GoodLife group died out, we headed over to Poachers with Darcy and ate possibly the worst Nachos ever, and eventually met up with Dally and some of his random friends.
Saturday Colin and I skipped out on the pancakes so he could get his hair cut (he no longer looks like a mountain man or a yeti.) Our original plan was to head to Masonville to see Crazy Heart, but the weather had other ideas, and we decided to stick closer to home and go to Rainbow, where we watched The Crazies, which wasn't amazing, but it was entertaining and I enjoyed it. I appreciate when a movie focuses on the thrill of what will happen next rather than gore, and since I am not a huge fan of zombie movies I was happy to see that it could just barely be classified as such. Saturday night we went to CTO to catch The Bad Ideas rock out! It was a little weird being there totally sober, mostly because my patience for slam dancing douche bags, and scenester wanna-bes was quite limited - but it was still a super performance, complete with three new songs! I am so pumped for the spring release of their record. I can't believe it has almost been a year since we saw them preform for the very first time - this year has flown by!
