Music on my mind

Songs that are in my head/are favorites at the moment:

From the radio
Run, Rex Goudie - really really like this, although only recently, and I think its been on the radio awhile. Didn't realize until today that it was the latest Canadian Idol runner up ..oh well.
Baby, just run ...

You're Beautiful, James Blunt - another one thats been played for awhile, but I only decided that I liked this week. The first few times I heard it (awhile ago now) I could have sworn it was a female singing - a low voiced female, of which there are several distinctive artists. Still think his voice sounds kind of girly, but whatever works for him.

From a movie
All I Know, Five for Fighting - okay, been liking this one for awhile, ever since I saw Chicken Little in mid December. So pretty, and I love the lyrics. (I think I already wrote about this one ..ah well)

From a CD
The Hard & The Easy, Great Big Sea - I think my 2 favorite songs on it are The Mermaid and The River Driver. The Mermaid because of the story it tells (here fishy fishy ... show me your fin!), and The River Driver because of its acapella nature, and the thumping drum that keeps time and sounds like a heartbeat.

From a deep dark embarrassing place
LOVE, Ashlee Simpson - damn song is kind of catchy and cute. Although the spelling part is a bit silly/nonsensical at time (ello, ello, ello, vee, ee?), it tends to be the part that gets stuck in my head! Ah well. Little fluff never hurt anyone (except perhaps by reputation, lol).

Belated Birthday Picture for Talibah


I can't believe I forgot about this one! :) Who can blame her for being all excited - the flowers & balloon would make anybody happy.
Happy Birthday again, Tulip!

Happy Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Cathy! Now even with you being an hour ahead, this should still count as making it on time ... plus, your birthday card/present arrived with your Christmas one, so it should all work out. :)

I hope that you had a great day!

Happy New Year, and ...

Happy Birthday Talibah! :) My first post of 2006 is alllll about you. Well, mostly.

Yummy dinner at Le Commensal, and an evening spent with good friends. And watching 'Little Shop of Horrors'. Good times!

Most of the group pictures are on other people's cameras ..(hint hint ... I want copies!), but here is the birthday girl and her cake (mmmmmm....cake):



More pictures to follow ...

PS - the bow is on the wall beside her, not her head ... although it does look rather festive, doesn't it? :)
