Now here are some burly men. The fantastic Frightened Rabbit. Ah I love Frightened Rabbit soo much. Seeing them live was definitely a highlight of my senior year of college.

Wowzers KRCW has some awesome sets. Yesterday I posted a song the Tallest Man on Earth sang for them, now he're Two Door Cinema Club.


I'd like to state that my crush on the band is ova. They look like they're 19 and either have too much baby fat or not enough (the previously cute guitar player). I still, nevertheless, enjoy their music.

Um just learned (when searching James Joyce tattoos... yea) that Johnny Depp has a quote from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man tattooed on his wrist. COOL.

Here's a pic of it:


Ah. So cool. As you may know, Portrait is my favorite book of all time. And I have dreams of one day getting a James Joyce tattoo. Though, it would be really small. Anyways, the Johnny Depp tattoo comes from the end of the book when Stephen is trying to explain to Cranly why he's fleeing Ireland,

"You have asked me what I would do and what I would not do.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do.
I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call
my home, my fatherland of my church: and I will try to express
myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly
as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself-
silence, excile and cunning."

Wow after rereading that Depp's tattoo becomes amazing. What a perfect passage to live ones life by, especially if you're an artist. Ahhhhh!

Aw yesss

There's finally an excellent quality video of The National singing the song "England" from their new album. I've been wanting to post it on my blog since it came out! Wow, sad. It's a REALLY good song. Thank you Youtube for hosting a National concert. Ah I want to see The National live sooo badly. The lead singer looks so mid-western of Scandinavian origin.

still really loving this song

Ummm this movie looks amazing


1- Mah Boyfriend Patrick Wilson
2- Female actresses I DON'T HATE.
3- Harrison Ford in a film that doesn't make me sad for him.
