sweet moonbeam

i'd like to live in this house please. kthx.


at work right now. it's 5pm. working until 8am. we're watching A Lot Like Love. mmmmashtonkutcher. i just love him. he's one of those guys that i'll see any movie he makes. he just makes everything more enjoyable. yeah he does. great soundtrack in that movie. there's a JET song! the song they didn't play ANY of the three times i saw them.

i don't know why i was thinking about that the other day. i was listening to that song and thought, "why didn't they play this when i saw them 3 times in 4 days?!"

great story, right? yep. it's literary gems like that that keep you coming back.

before we put on A Lot Like Love, we were watching The Notebook. just the end of it. BUT! i didn't realize that Eric from Entourage is in it! he plays Ryan Goslings friend, Finn! it was awesome! i looked up at the screen and it was E! ohhhh how i love Entourage.

The Notebook? eh. saw it once and it was enough.

have i talked about when babies sneeze it's the cutest thing ever? because there's a baby in the living room with me right now and he just sneezed twice. it's so freaking cute. he's about to be 4 months old. cutie!

although, not a cutie when he was screaming and crying while i was holding him a little while ago.

i keep going back and forth about wanting a baby. like, my own baby. obviously not right now or anytime soon. i don't know. lately i've been thinking i don't want any. and that's okay. and maybe that will change and maybe it won't.

but speaking of babies, a few nights ago i had a dream i had a baby with 12 fingers. 6 on each hand. weird, right? tried to look up what it could mean, but didn't get very far. and there was some mention of what an amazing piano player the baby could be. strange.

so.

i've been watching season 2 of True Blood. i'm like, 6 episodes in. GREAT. yeah, so great. pretty gross. i'd say it's grosser than the first season. and maybe not as sexy either. i really like Eric. or, Erik. he's pretty funny, even when he's being horribly terrifying.

also, i've been super listening to 'Hey, Soul Sister' by Train. it's a great song. it's currently my new wedding song. if i ever get married.

also, i've been eating a lot of tofu! i like tofu whenever i have it, but i never know what to do with it when i buy it. but i've been making it my mission to experiment. so i've been MARINATING.

first night i marinated it in a peanut sauce that i bought. which turned out to be way too spicy. it said, "mildly spicy" on the jar. but, my lips were on fire. my tongue was on fire. my throat was on fire. it felt like an episode of Man v. Food when it's a spicy challenge. and he's like, "this is 75 times spicier than a jalapeno!" that's what it felt like. although, this is coming from a person who cannot handle ANY spicy. barely even the medium salsa.

but, i cooked up some cous cous and chickpeas to eat it with. and it was delish, except for the spicy. i ended up having to get some frozen mango out of the freezer and taking bites of the mango in between the bites of the spicy tofu. yeah, so maybe i'm a spice wimp.

anyways, the next day i tried to recreate the marinated tofu sandwich that i used to get at The Bridge Cafe at Hampshire College. turned out pretty good. let the tofu soak in soy sauce for about 15 minutes. not as salty as the sandwiches at the Bridge, so that was good.

and then last night, i marinated it for about 40 minutes in this fruity hawaiian marinade. grilled it up with some pineapple and then ate it with the leftover cous cous and chickpeas. delish!

so i bought more tofu at the grocery store today to try more experiments. i'm excited. i'm really good at making chocolate tofu cream pie. YUM. that's good.

HEY! the resident here asked me to print out the lyrics to the JET song that played in the movie!!! awesome! she also asked me to print out the lyrics to the Bon Jovi song that Ashton sings in the courtyard.

movie's over now. we were going to watch The Prince and Me, but instead she put in The Hot Chick. starring Rob Schneider. :/ we'll see how that is.

OKAY! tonight my plan is to watch more True Blood. there's nothing more patriotic then vampires and sex.

so, happy july 4th weekend! i like July 4th because it means i get an extra day off this month!! thanks, USA.

alright, have a great night friends. i'll talk to you all later!

AND IF YOU'RE IN MAINE THIS WEEKEND: please make note that Crash Kings are also in Maine. and I am not. also, She & Him are playing also. SON OF A GUN, they are live broadcasting the festival!

the Nateva Festival. Crash Kings played at 3:15 this afternoon. CRAP. i bet it'll be archived to watch later.

alright. have a great afternoon. evening. middle of the night. morning. everything!
