Music To My Ears

If there is one album that should never go unheard in one's life, it would have to be "The Kills" fourth studio album  "Blood Pressures". I'm not saying thatits the best album I've ever heard, and I'm not saying there aren't other albums and artists out there that shouldn't be heard. What I'm saying is that this is a gem of our generation. Amongst all the less than quality music out there is a diamond of a band- The Kills.

Though this album is one of a kind. The mix of  the voices of  Duo Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart is subtle but mezmerizing as are the layers of sounds and music throughout the album. This is the kind of album you can rely on to take you to your happy place.

Give this song a listen an see for yourself, the song is called "Baby Says" and is my personal favourite from the album:

Meet my therapist: Pinterest.

Pinterest is a blogsite that enables you to create a virtual pinboard of images and ideas that suite your fancy.

Below is the story of how Pinterest helped me overcome my indecisiveness and eventually help me to make an important decision.

On top of being a lady, I'm also a Virgo, which makes me more indecisive than the next. The true depth of my indecisiveness came to light when I moved out of my room into my sister's old and larger room. Being an individual of the "creative type", I had to redo the room-start from scratch- and rebuild the perfect room.

I was left with a blank canvas. Which is ok if you know what direction you want to go in, in terms of design. My problem is that being extremely indecisive coupled with a blank canvas and millions of options is a combination to drive me crazy.

I'd been "pinning" (which can become addictive) for a few weeks then already. So, I began to browse the decor section to see what options were out there. Some time after that I decided to go and look at what I'd collected and try as best I could to come to a decision... On paint... at least. I opened the page, went to my "For the home" board, which contained all the decor I had pinned.

While waiting for the page to load I checked my phone and answered some messages- all the time ignoring the screen. As I looked up from my phone and saw the screen with all the pictures loaded, I got a bit of a shock. But in a good way like when you bite into a banana cupcake and the centre is actually peanut butter!

What I mean to say is that the screen in front of me showed me a consistent colour scheme for decor. Mostly dark painted walls with bright white skirting and furniture. Thanks to Pinterest I got a chance to catch a glimpse of what was going on in my mind-laid out in pin board form on the screen.

I credit Pinterest for helping me overcome this seemingly overwhelming problem of indecisiveness. After this epiphany I felt that I had gone into a therapist's office off loaded my problem and have that therapist help me introspect to get the answers I wanted.

Not only that but if you're ever having a bad day Pinterest can fix that too- go to the pets or humour section or even the inspirational quotes section.

Hoping I haven't sounded like Pinterest stalker and more like an enthusiast... Give it a shot and see what you think.

My ultimate movie.

Watching "Kill Bill Vol.2" I wondered,hypothetically, had I been given the opportunity to write my own movie what the subject matter might be.

So I began to wonder about my favourite genres of film, time period, costume, and characters. I am quite fond of horror, romance, action, comedy. So I thought why not bind all of the genre's together. The time frame and costumes and set would be, post apocalyptic. So it would essentially be. A post apocalyptic horror romance.

If I have some spare time I'll post the movie plot. <3

Animals

Since I love animals it makes sense that my first post should be about my very own pet. His name is Henry and he is a magnificent black and tan Chihuahua. He has 'Small Dog Syndrome' the symptoms of which are that my dog believes he is not a lap dog, but rather a cross between a Great Dane and a Rottweiler. Despite these odd Dog-personality-traits, I love him dearly.

My belief is that a higher power gave animals all the answers to the questions we beg about the universe, but took away their ability to speak so that us humans are never too comfortable in life and never stop learning. The animals are here to comfort us and provide us with those looks of  'I know everything, and everything is going to be o.k' and many licks and cuddles.

Here's a picture of Henry planning his evil takeover of the universe- on his laptop.
