Lovable Friday!

1. This incredible cake
1. This incredible cake

As most of you know, my blog will be one year old next week. When I first started blogging, I never imagined that anyone would really care to read about my life and the things I like to do, wear, see and hear. Now, I average about 300 hits a day. I know that does not make me the next Dooce or anything, but it is definitely more than I ever expected. I was kind of bummed because all the projects I had planned for my anniversary either fell through or just didn’t happen because of time restraints and then my friend Rosie shows up with this amazing cake! She is always one of the first to comment and is always singing my praises all over the Internets. She is really the sweetest and most incredible person. So thank you so much, Rosie! I know I told you a million times, but you made my month and totally caught me off guard! I heart you 🙂

Spinner’s Interface

If you like live music as much as I do (and boy do I ever), you are really going to enjoy Spinner.com’s Interface. It is a collection of live performances recorded in the Spinner studio that is updated regularly with some pretty amazing artists. Unfortunately, living in Miami means that I don’t get to see a lot of indie bands play live (boo hiss), so finding a site like this is a great way for me to see if some of my favorite bands of the moment can impress me live as much as they do on the album.

Plus, they are constantly taking suggestions on who you’d like to see in their studio next through their twitter account.

Here are some of my favorite posted performances:

Who are yours?

I would do anything for love…

But I won’t do that.

I still refuse to believe that this is true, but I guess there is no denying after Ms. Simpson tweeted this lovely picture last week. I just do not understand it. And I don’t think I want to. Being a huge Pumpkins fan (not to mention Corgan fan), I just felt the need to address how horrified I am by this whole situation here on Melificent. I stumbled upon a blog the other day that put it better than anyone ever could: “He is a musical genius, she is a musical retard.” What could they see in each other? What do they have in common? This has totally slapped me in the face.

I attempted a break up with Mr. Corgan, but I don’t really know if I can. I honestly don’t think it’s possible. I have a freaking tattoo on my flesh, people. So all I can hope is that this pairing will not affect his music or writing. So far, the two tracks off the epic Teargarden by Kaleidyscope have been great so I’m crossing my fingers that this track record will continue. I’m also trying to ignore the whispers that they are recording a song together. I think our split may have to be permanent if that ever hits airwaves. I chose to ignore the whole Tila Tequila thing, but this is really pushing my buttons.

It also makes me sad that he may believe he needs something like this whole Jessica fiasco just to attract attention to his new music. Music should speak for itself, and his always has (at least to my ears), so using a cheap publicity scheme just seems so below Billy and the Pumpkins. I’m hoping some witch cast a spell on him, causing him to forget everything about himself, because honestly that would be the only excuse I would accept at this point.

Snap out of it, Billy!

Lovable Friday!

It’s been awhile since I’ve compiled a Lovable Friday due to the holidays! Unfortunately, not a very lovable Friday for me. I’ve been pretty sick the entire week. I guess I’m not cut out for this 40 degree weather in Miami!

1. CB2 opening in South Beach

Words cannot describe how happy this makes me! South Florida seems to always be the last to get amazing stores: we recently got West Elm and IKEA after years of lusting from afar and have yet to see an H&M (one in Orlando just opened several months ago). I cannot wait to take advantage of their fabulous sales without having to tack on those nasty shipping charges! And just in time for our new home too! The store opens in Lincoln Road Mall on January 14th. See you there 😉

Year in Review: 2009

Favorite movie:

district9poster-thumb-450x665

District 9
I knew I was going to love this movie when I attended the panel at Comic-Con, but I don’t think I was ready for how it would affect me. This movie was mind-blowing, not only with special effects, but also with its storyline and message.

Star Trek
Although not a trekker in the least bit, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Be it due to Zachary Quinto, J.J. Abrams or Zachary Quinto, I really don’t know. All I know is that it was absolutely entertaining and I didn’t mind watching it three times in a theater.
