Desinence by greeneyedsiren

the second item that i saw double of is the michel hazanavicius’ movie “the artist” (by way of actor/director matthew gray gubler and director marcos siega’s twitter timelines).  i went to my trusty imdb app, viewed the trailer and discovered why these directors praised this particular film.  i’ve never seen a trailer like it and it’s a testament to the power of music and very talented actors.

the oddest thing today in my web findings today…  i was seeing double!  i could dub it as an anomaly or as a sign to further research what i encountered.  one of the items:  an artist named gotye (by way of dianna agron’s website “you, me & charlie” as well as actor/musician bryan greenberg’s twitter).  this is actually a cover of his song “somebody that i used to know” by walk off the earth and sarah blackwood.  it’s so delightfully odd, melodic and simultaneously intricate and simple…  anyways, listen for yourself - i’m not sorry i didn’t.

sitting on my couch with my pup in my dimly lit living room, mulling over [in my mind] all of the things i need to get done within the next six days prior to flying to florida for a long overdue visit to the family :)  i’m at that point that you reach when you have so much to do that you don’t want to do any of it so instead, i’m just going to share the tunes i listened to for the last quarter of 2011 and learn more about confucius via the biography channel…  oh, and mull some more ;)

As I prepare to go out and ring in 2012 with some of my nearest and dearest, I felt like publicly sharing my resolutions in an attempt to actually follow through with them :] It’s with a mixture of emotions, both good and bad, that I bid 2011 adieu and look ahead to 2012 with optimism and enthusiasm… I’m hoping for many good things this coming year and hope the same everyone else! Cheers!

1. Be healthier (eat right and exercise-period).

2. Travel more.

3. Love [even] more, dislike less.

4. Celebrate more, be envious less.

5. Finish my Associates (at least… I have 1 more class, there’s no reason for me not too).

6. Gossip less and in turn, be less inclined to think others are gossiping about me.

7. Be more organized.

8. Indulge my artistic side more.

9. Be open to all of life’s possibilities.

trent reznor & atticus ross collabo with karen O for “the girl with the dragon tattoo” soundtrack… sounds amazing (as does the six-song sampler that trent released on the NIN website last week)!
