Tomorrow will finally be my vacation from work! Mr. Husband will be taking time off of work as well so that we can spend time together. We don’t have anything planned but at the same time we do. We plan on doing a lot of which we always want to do but can’t find the time. I'll be posting what we do so that if you, my readers find it interesting can also make time to go to the places, eat at the resturants, and so on.
Tomorrow, first thing in the morning I will be taking my new car (2011 Nissan Mureno LE) to get my navigation installed. Now I'll NEVER get lost!
This is what my new car (SUV) looks like, I have yet to take a good picture of MINE.
Mr. Husband will be working his last day (tomorrow) but he has something special planned out for us that night he says. I can’t wait to see what the kick off to our vacation will be!
Years ago (2006) when 'Stranger Than Fiction' came out I saw it as a joke. It was yet again another dumb comedy with Will Farrell. I was told by many that I should give it a chance, but I wouldn’t cave in. My family watched it and expressed to me just what a great movie it was but still I would not budge.
It wasn’t until late one night in 2007, one of my many sleepless nights in which I was once more thinking of Mr. Husband and missing him. He was currently in Iraq and I had just finished one of our short, quick but beautiful conversations. I couldn’t sleep, as I waited for that moment in which I could finally rest my eyes and as I finished Mr. Husband’s letter for that day 'Stranger than Fiction' began in the background. With nothing else to watch and with my letter complete, I figured the movie would put me to sleep and so I watched.
I was mistaken. I couldn’t be more wrong about this beautiful, breath-taking movie! I cried, no I sobbed at the end. Since then this has been one of my favorite movies and today I got to watch this marvelous movie once more and reminisce.
Sitting alone I was able to think back as to what caught my attention. It’s obvious why so many people believed that I would love the movie. It was about a writer, it was about a writer writing a book, it was about a writer having writers block and it was about a man who was hearing this writer, write about his life knowing that he was going to die at the end. If that doesn’t scream me I don’t know what does. What people didn’t know that would catch my attention was one single moment, a single line in the movie...
Harold Crick realizes that he has feelings for Anna Pascal and when he finally admits it to himself and allows himself to act on it, he rushes over to her bakery with flours.
Yes, I meant to write the word flour, as in baking flour. I thought that was one of the sweetest moments ever, romantic and dorky!
Then the Harold said words that I will never forget because they’re words that were once uttered to me.
“I want you.”
This is how Harold let Anna Pascal know that he had feelings for her and this is how Mr. Husband let me know on September 2, 2003 parked in his black 3000GT at Jurupa park drinking coffee that he had feelings for me and that he wanted me to be his. "I want you."
Now, imagine me then, sitting in the dead of night watching this movie and hearing those words. There was no way that I wasn’t going to fall in love with this movie. For once I actually believed that Will Ferrell was capable of acting and not coming out with some joke of a movie.
If you haven’t watched this movie yet, I hope you now will. It truly is a great movie, Will Ferrell did an amazing job.
One thing that you will forever find me doing is listening to music and I listen to just about everything! Here's proof and this is no lie! Putting my iPod on shuffle this is the order of the first 15 songs that pop up:
1. Silverstein - My Heroine
2. H.I.M. - Beautiful
3. Dario Marianelli - The Lord's Prayer
4. Flyleaf - Tiny Heart
5. A.F.I - This Celluloid Dream
6. Brad Paisley - She's everything
7. Penny & the Quarters - You & Me
8. Rise Against - Tip the scales
9. Iced Earth - Watching over me
10. Rufio - Tears
11. Ana Gabriel - Quien Como Tu
12. Brand New - Jesus Christ
13. Johnny Cash - I walk the line
14. P. Diddy feat. Keyshia Cole - Last Night
15. Acceptance - So Contagious
When it comes to music I become obsessed with one song from time to time and you'll find me have it on repeat for hours on end. My current obsession is Best Coast - Our Deal. Since the moment I have discovered this song I've had it on repeat. Can you blame me?
Not only is the song amazing but Drew Barrymore directed the video which is brilliant! Yes, its like West Side Story (which I have never watched by the way) but this has Chole Moretz! If you don't know who she is, she played Hit-Girl in Kickass and she was the vampire in Let Me In. Now, if at this point your life you haven't watched either movie please add them on your must watch list! You won't regret it, that is to say that you have any taste in films. Ok sorry that was harsh, but I really like these two movies and Chole Moretz is just beautiful in a awkward unique kind of way.
Back to my obsession of Best Coast - Our Deal. Today I've had this song on repeat for a nine hours, please keep in mind that I work 10 hour days this time of year so I always have my iPod with me to at least TRY to keep my sanity.
Different things/moments can trigger my obsession for a song. This obsession began because of the beauty of the song. "I wish you would tell me, how you really feel, but you'll never tell me, 'cause that's not our deal." ::Sigh::
So this week, at any given moment if you see me around, I'll either be listening to this song or thinking of this song.
If you haven't pressed play on the video to hear beauty rather than see it, I hope that you do now and as you listen let the voice of Bethany Cosentino (singer) take over your life for a few minutes. She has currently taken over my life...
