08/11/2006: "Chocolate"
Chocolate
I'm not sure if it's usual that a movie soundtrack releases a month before the movie does, but the soundtrack to The Last Kiss released this past Tuesday and I have had to search high and low to get it, finally caving to the pressure and bought it at Barnes and Noble, despite the inflated price. Zach Braff picked out the songs for the movie, and as in the case of Garden State, he did a great job. So far, my favorite song is Chocolate, by Snow Patrol. I'm perplexed by the title since that word doesn't actually appear in the song. But it's a good song that feels like a theme song. There are two tracks by Joshua Radin that are great...now I will have to go buy his cd I think.
I've spent the past two nights working on a short story. I feel a little guilty, like I should be working on the novel, but any writing is good I suppose. It's got a much different feel than anything I've worked on...a lot less dialogue, which is very unusual. I always get so excited when I first start working on something...I tend to talk about it to people and then get hurt by their comments. I can't seem to get it through my head that I shouldn't do that. Save myself some tears and keep it to myself like I used to in high school! :)
Nearly a week later, I am still not totally digging the brown hair. It's not so horrible that I am going to dye it back right away...I spent way too much money getting it this color, so I am just going to have to put up with it for a couple months. I think I am just meant to be blond.
Very excited about the So You Think You Can Dance tour coming to Seattle next month!!
