So how's 2008 treating you guys so far?


::::Not too much of note has been going on lately. I went to see Juno last week and really enjoyed it. Great script, great cast, great music! I highly recommend it.

::::I've decided that since I don't like making new years resolutions, I am just going to set some goals for myself of things I'd like to try/do this year.

-Get my palm read
-Make homemade sushi
-Sew a dress............and actually wear it! :)
-Get a new tattoo of my own design
-Take a painting class

Speaking of doing new things, check out this blog where the author does something she's never done before every day of the year. Neat!

::::I'm making one of my coworkers an indie/alternative music mix tape. He only listens to stuff on the radio, and when he told me what kind of music he likes, I wanted to cry. I am super excited at the prospect of making the mother of all mix tapes, but there's so much to choose from I don't even know where to start. Maybe I will make a series of them. Any suggestions for possible track options?

::::Speaking of music, I just bought a few new songs from itunes, and I couldn't be more pleased. I bought two tracks off the amelie soundtrack (unfortunately that was all that was available), and find them absolutely delightful. I love playing them will driving around the county roads and pretending I am in the french countryside. I also bought:

"Say Yes" Elliot Smith
"Your Ex-Lover is Dead" Stars
"You Remind Me of Home" Andrew Kenny & Ben Gibbard

The thing I love about itunes is that it suggests other things you may like based on your selections, and that's how I found these wicked sweet gems. Check em out!
