saccharine

excessively sweet or sentimental

i'm so sad...

and a big giant nerd. i finished watching all six seasons of doctor who today...well i didn't watch them all today, but i watched the wedding of river song and the doctor, the widow and the wardrobe...now i feel a big giant void, right where my second heart should be. if you haven't watched this fabulous program, i suggest you get on that right this second! well, i'm going to geek out now...i apologize in advance...


pretty hilarious that craig ferguson


this is the ninth doctor
luckily he was only there for one season


david tenant the tenth doctor
i really liked him, until he had to erase donna's memory
then i got sad 


i <3<3 matt smith
the best doctor by far
just so quirky
and he wears pants that are too short...


i don't know these chicks
but i like the way they think...

some inspiration...just incase i wanna wear shorts and tights again...


i'm sorry, i giggle every time i see this...

so now i just find myself saying things like wibbley, wobbly, timey, wimey. and shouting 'allons-y, alonzo!' at mr. brack. sigh...

streisanditis

mr. brack and i have been doing some christmas cleaning...i'm exhausted! but we had to make room for all of our new swag we received for christmas from our wonderful families and the junk we bought in nyc (post to come later...i promise!) we share a cozy, little house with my dad and our malamute and me being the pack rat that i am, i have to come up with some pretty creative organizational ideas. so right now we're in the process of making a closet, moving some hooks, moving dvd's to drawers and books and records to shelves etc etc...on to the point. apparently, i love barbra streisand! while cataloguing my ever growing record library, i came to realize that i own NINE BARBRA STREISAND RECORDS!!! mr. brack laughed at me...whatever...i'm totally ok with this. in fact i think i'm going to try to get all of them!

sepulchre

a small room or monument, cut in rock or built of stone, in which a dead person is laid of buried.

i've recently become enamoured with edgar allen poe's poem annabel lee. and sometimes i find myself saying this word in my head, or our loud...randomly, like a crazy person...it's just got a good ring to it, ya know?!?

photography thing a lot quicker!

music rut

lately i have been having the most difficult time getting into new music. i can't seem to find something to really cling on to. it's driving me absolutely bananas! here are the few that i can tolerate for a few goes around...enjoy!


call your girlfriend by robyn

one day i got a text from my thrifty friend, mel.
she told me to download this song.
so i did, while on route to work.
i listened to it in the car.
twice...amazing...


this is an a capella version of the robyn song...
equally amazing...



with ur love by cher lloyd ft. mike posner

from a girl who didn't even place top 3 in the uk's x factor
her debut album is a good listen all the way through
this is my fave...i'm attempting to learn all the words so i don't look like an
idiot when i sing along in the car...


paradise by coldplay

there's just something about the instrumentation of this song that 
grabs you...it's kinda ethereal and i like it
i'm not going to lie...i haven't been the biggest coldplay fan since rush of blood to the head...
this makes me love them again
and takes me back to high school


rumour has it/ someone like you by the trouble tones (glee)

repeat repeat repeat
i can't even believe how well these songs were mashed up!
the perfect pairing
and amber riley and naya rivera absolutely kill!


something's coming by blaine anderson (glee)

this song kinda makes me feel optimistic...
i've seen the musical, i know what happens...
but darren criss just sounds so full of hope
it gives me the shivers! love love love

my desk chair

recently i've been doing a lot of sitting at my desk. since i've started back to school, i've had to do a lot of typing and sitting. it was starting to give me serious tension headaches! i guess i had complained enough to mr. brack because his parents got me this lovely new chair for my birthday! it's all soft and white and the right height for my desk so that my feet touch the floor and my back rests all comfortably agains the squigy cup seat...ahhh...


(ps. mr. brack got me a lovely new camera which i used to take this picture...xo)

another dresser that mr. brack hates...

the good thing is, i don't really care! i've wanted a new piece of furniture for the living room to house the tv, gaming systems, craft supplies etc etc etc. i was going to get something from ikea, but what with saving for nyc, christmas, a home, and not working as much due to school, i haven't really had a spare $300 hanging around.


this is what i wanted...
i still really like it...and may just get it eventually...

but this is what i got...





isn't she a beaut! i think i'm in love! i walked into the GBF on my birthday and all of the furniture was 50% off! so i was all like, 'i'm just gonna take a look around...i don't really need anything...' apparently, i was wrong. in a case like this i'm okay with being wrong. so, i bought myself this triple drawer dresser for $87.50 tax included. they even held on to it for a few days longer so mr. brack and i could steel his parents truck and pick it up when he was home this weekend! it just makes the room feel so much warmer and helps to define the living room space since the front door opens right into it...mr. brack isn't a big fan, however. tough titties...


how cute...i was sitting on the floor trying to take pictures of the dresser...
he didn't think that was a good idea...

christmas joy 2011 edition

much to a lot of peoples chagrin, christmas time is fast approaching! i'm super excited because i'm done school (at least for the semester and two pesky exams...) and mr. brack and i are heading to nyc in a few weeks! so, i spent a night setting all of our decorations up and now the living room is all festive and there are more plants for me to kill! 


this is my new 70's porcelain christmas tree...
steal of a deal at $5!
i got my mom one last year for christmas but it was 
green with multi-coloured lights...
i might try to steal that back from her...
i kinda like these things!


glitter apples and pears $6 for 25 of each at homesense
and some gold pinecones $2 for like a million of 'em


12 glass pinecones and nuts from homesense: $7


a paint can full of balls for $10 at walmart


fun red, brown, orange and purple bells...
so whenever the dog walks into the tree,
it makes a beautiful sound...


vintage christmas ornament..
i think it's so cute!
and it reminds me of christmas of 
a kid...


it's kind of a christmas, woodland, natural
theme here...


trying to get the light right for a little xmas pic...


no dice...xoxo
