Glee

I'm so excited for the return of Glee and I'm loving the promo for their Madonna episode. "Like a Prayer" is one of my favorite Madonna songs, and their cover sounds great.

Can't wait for April 13!

Cherrybomb

Below is the trailer for Rupert Grint's newest movie Cherrybomb, needless to say Ron has definitely grown up!

Lush Newbie (and Convert)

So I finally broke down and jumped on the Lush band wagon....

Massage Therapy Bar ($8.75)

I'd heard so many raves about this bar and its moisturizing properties I decided I just had to get one. The smell (which reminds me of chocolate) took a little getting but I must admit I'm now in love with it. The bar itself literally melts in your hands without leaving an oily/greasy residue, which is always a huge plus in my book. I highly recommend picking up one if you get the chance.

Emotibomb - Sex in the Shower ($3.95)

Unfortunately I am the owner of a shower only bathroom. Yes that's right folks, no creamy dreamy bubble baths for this girl...Figuring that Lush only had bath type products for in shower use I was pleasantly surprised to find this little gem. I'll admit I bought it for a few reasons: (a) its for shower use; (b) it smelled wonderful; (c) its called Sex in the Shower...hello?! I couldn't resist and will hopefully be using this in the next week as my work load increases two-fold

Lastly as my friendly cashier was ringing up my items she kindly slipped a sample (which is apparently typical, but as a Lush newbie I was floored) of Happy Hippy Shower Gel, which smells of grapefruit.

Verdict on Lush: will definitely be going back!

Next purchase(s): Emotibomb - Too Drunk and Honey I Washed the Kids Soap

Micmacs

I am a huge fan of Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie, Delicatessen, A Very Long Engagement, The City of Lost Children, etc.) and really want to see his latest film Micmacs

*sigh* loving the visuals...

Cleaning Day

You know how you throw your jacket on a chair at the end of the day? Well, like that, except instead of a chair, it's a pile of garbage. And instead of a jacket, its a pile of garbage. And instead of the end of the day, it's the end of time, and garbage is all that has survived - Ross

Need to clean my apartment and it reminded me of Friends: The One with the Dirty Girl (though not nearly as bad!)

Inspiration

Music inspires me a lot, here's what inspired me today...

The Mystic's Dream by Loreena McKennitt

Book Notes...

I recently finished Lauren Weisberger's latest book "Chasing Harry Winston." Weisberger, who is famously known for writing "The Devil Wears Prada" (and the accompanying movie), where she writes about three long time friends who nearing thirty and not married decide to make a pact concerning men (well to be truthful only two of the women decide to join in on the pact). The book can best be described as light, casual, yet easily addictive reading. The only issue I had with the book was the somewhat one-dimensional characters (the workaholic woman who doesn't like her man, the needy woman who drives away men, and the sultry woman who wont settle with one man). That being said I enjoyed reading it as a nice break from studying. There are also rumors around the web that it will soon be made into a movie...check out the author's website here for more details about her books, movie adatations, upcoming projects, etc.: http://www.laurenweisberger.com/

On another note: After devouring Sara Gruen's "Water for Elephants," about a traveling circus I was absolutely thrilled to learn they planned on making the novel into a movie. Shoot to the present with my recent viewing of Reese Witherspoon talking about her involvement in the movie, video included below:




And lastly in my list of great reads turned into moves...Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love" whose book I have reccomended to just about everyone, has released the trailer for the movie starring Julia Roberts.



Can't wait to see these movies and be sure to check out the books before they hit the theatres!
