I never would have thought that I would be the one putting together our Valentine’s Day dinner, but lately I’ve learned to expect the unexpected! The hubs and I are pretty mellow people when it comes to Valentine’s Day. If you all remember, last year we spent the day at IKEA shopping and eating ice cream followed by a photoshoot. This year, we are planning on having a little picnic at a nearby park and then following it up that night with a romantic dinner for two at home.
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!
Now that I have had some extra time on my hands to read, I’ve really been enjoying the Sookie Stackhouse series, which inspired HBO’s True Blood. I am currently on Book 4, and although it is shaping up to be my favorite so far, I really enjoyed Book 3 so I can’t wait to see the way they decide to translate it on the show. HBO knows that there are many die-hard “Truebies” out there, so they made this sweet little teaser to (attempt to) tide us over until June. Also, for those fellow fans, the biggest recent news was that the role of Alcide (sweet & sexy werewolf that becomes involved with Sookie in more ways than one) was given to Joe Manganiello, who has appeared on How I Met Your Mother and One Tree Hill in the past. At first, I wasn’t all that happy with the casting, but he has grown on me after doing several google image searches 😉
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!
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 😉
Favorite movie:
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.
