I am terribly excited for this Sunday.
We're going to the super-matinee showing of The Muppets in DT SJ. Buttered popcorn from Camera 12 is the best movie theatre popcorn. Fact.
And! My TiVo will be recording Wilson Phillips: Still Holding On.

By the way, Carnie is my fave of the group.

hold me tight and don't let go
I get a kick out of watching X Factor UK and USA videos on youtube.
I get an even bigger kick when contestants sing my fave 90s songs.
Last year, Cher Lloyd kicked ass with her rendition of "Stay" by Shakespear's Sister. I never would have thought this song would be used on any singing competition, but, wow.
This year, two acts surprised me on Movie Week.
Janet Devlin performed "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer. Her mentor, Kelly Rowland, definitely chose the right song for her to sing that week. It kept her out of the bottom two. Her performance was charming, especially with her Irish accent.
Little Mix did a killer rendition of En Vogue's "Don't Let Go (Love)." The week before, Kelly said that the group was "one touch away from En Vogue." She was so right. Could you imagine how giddy I got when I heard this? It was like a dream come true for me to hear this used in a tv singing competition. My only criticism is that their harmonising in the chorus is missing the top note. Other than that, this rendition was awesome!
Bonus: While the song isn't from the 90s, it's by a band that is. The Foo Fighters. Say what! Josh Krajcik was the only contestant to bring it for Rock Week. He performed "The Pretender." What an amazing performance. And it figures that it would take the right contestant in order for Dave Grohl to clear his song for a tv singing competition.

sing as their bones go marching in again
I've been neglecting this blog simply because I haven't been photographing my outfits. I wear suits to work. I come home and change into pajamas. So, that leaves the weekends. And I'm just so lazy or forgetful on the weekends.
By the way, I photographed this outfit a while ago and forgot about it until today.
