1. I love the OneRepublic CD. They reminds me of The Fray (only because The Fray hit mainstream first), but their musicality is more mainstream. Their CD, “Dreaming Out Loud” sounds like it’s better produced overall. I put the album away for a month or so because I had been listening to it obsessively for about 2-3 months… And well, I pulled it out again recently because I was in a lovey-dovey mood thanks to the new (released in November 2007) Westlife CD. I forget how great it really is. I can’t decide which song is my favorite because there are so many good songs. This one goes into my albums I didn’t think would be good but I’ve fallen in love with. Once in a while, a CD will completely knock me off my feet because I just didn’t expect it from that artist. Others in this category include Nelly Furtado with “Loose,” James Blunt with “All the Lost Souls” and David Gray with “Life in Slow Motion.”
2. So Chloe, my sister’s dog, has turned out to be a nightmare. I don’t think my sister knew her dog was like this, mostly because her dog is an outside dog. Our training and care of our dogs are completely different. As my dog is an inside dog, I do a lot of things to cater and adjust his habits so he is used to being inside. It seems Chloe wants to be an inside dog too, perhaps because of the heat outdoors or maybe it’s because she is a puppy and is used to being around someone, and not another dog. I’m not really sure what it is, but I’m trying to break her habits. I’m trying to learn to trust her, but her two accidents on my carpet, despite being taken outside, within 2 hours is making me question whether or not she can be trusted. Isn’t that an awful relationship to have?
3. I might actually have the weekend to myself – which will be great. All the boy’s plans of coming up are falling through because of this meeting here and there, which is fine by me. May be we need a weekend apart (although the last time we tried that, he ended up coming on a Sunday evening anyway… aw, he misses me, too). I need a break because the dogs together have been a nightmare. Sebastian is very aggressive and defensive when other dogs and even sometimes people are around Chloe, so once he starts, she starts… And it feels like it’s never going to end. This is how it has been ALL week, in and outside of my apartment. I keep trying to get used to it, but to no avail. Ugh I think my breaking point was when she used the bathroom inside. I stuck her outside, turned up my TV and just ignored her and Sebastian. Don’t worry. I only did it for about 30 minutes. But it was enough to energize me for our 30-minute walk afterwards. Anyway, about the weekend, it will just be a good opportunity for me to bond and learn to trust Chloe since I’ll be home so she’s not crated nearly all day. And I’ll be in my pajamas and/or more comfortable clothes, and I can either catch up on TV or watch romantic comedies allllllllllllllllllll day. Ugh, doesn’t that just sound like a dream? I can’t wait!
4. I have a secret confession – well, not so secret now – to make. I want to listen to the Jonas Bros. CD! I know if I was five years younger, I would be all about them, similar to the way I was crazy about NSYNC. I recently watched “Camp Rock,” and the sing-along version, too. And it was surprisingly cute and fun. I can understand the love and the hype over the Jonas Bros now. I guess one of these days, I’ll break down and get it.
5. It’s crazy when something like the Jonas Bros. reminds me of how childish I was only five years ago. A lot of people think I’m older than I really am, mostly because of the way I carry myself and the company I keep. I guess that’s a compliment?
6. I think I have lost my sense of humor. I’m trying to find things that are funny, because I love funny things! But lately, it just seems I think things are “cute” and I “awww” and “ooo” at them. I think the last thing that made me laugh out loud and ridiculously was “Tropic Thunder.” That was so refreshing.
7. So I’ve caught the buzz and jumped on the bandwagon for vampire romance “Twilight” saga. Besides all the ooey-gooey romance stuff, the first book was enjoyable once it picked up. The second book was slower. And then the third was more exciting. I think the romance was a little too much for me, but I can see what people love the series. I am getting myself excited about the movie, due out this November, watching MTV specials about it, watching the trailers and reading up on the cast and crew. I love the guy playing the main vampire, Rob Pattinson. He’s hot and he was good in his “Harry Potter” role. So far, he’s looks and acts the part. Whether or not it will come through in the movie, we will see. I’m going to read the next book soon, which I believe is the last for now… I’m trying not to read any reviews on the book, because I’ve seen the headline for one review – and it was not good… I don’t want to spoil it for myself though – although, if my expectations will be low enough, I might actually enjoy the book more.
Anyway, this list was supposed to be short and sweet snippets. But as you can see, they’ve turned out to be long, painful paragraph. Will write more later, hopefully as better, more thought out entries.
