Excited

Rave
Just discovered a new band, Inhabited! The cover of LOVE reminded me a ton of a modern day Blondie with the pseudo-hippie chick on the cover and the bold LOVE in 80’s font-style. The songs are very Garbage meets Gwen Stefani meets Christian Rock. I’m Lovin LOVE! Check it out when you can!

I’ve become one of the many going onto Bluefly [ here ] and attempting to win the $10,000 shopping spree. My goal is a pair of Jimmy Choos patent black flat boots that are oh-so-cute and I could never afford them, even on bluefly, without the shopping spree. It’s eating my soul!
I’m just sayin’!

Check out the Post Punk Kitchen! [ here ] They have tons of vegan/vegeterian recipes, a cool web layout, and a THEME SONG! Too cool as far as I’m concerned and I’m dying to try out their vegan ginger ice cream and their chocolate bomb pudding cake (who can not want something with the words chocolate and bomb in it?). Tell me what you all think.

She Who Eats [ blog here ] has some great blog posts and great pics of food. Check her out and tell her Faustina sent you.

So I just found out that Lisa Samson, author of Hollywood Nobody Series live in my hometown (that’s Home1 for those of you keeping track)! So excited!

Rants and Reviews and Shoes

Russian Sci-fi
Night Watch and Day Watch are probably some of the best sci-fi/fantasy movies out there! Sure it’s in Russian but the people who did the subtitles were geniuses, letting letters fall away or dissolve into bloody streaks or float away like ghosts. The story makes me think of a combination of Holly Black’s fairy books, the movie Johnny Pneumonic, and David Sosnowski’s Vamped. I recommend these movies whole-heartedly and for those of you Netflix users, you can watch both of them online.

I love shoes. I love my black widow boots made of black overlapping leather. I love my high heeled Mary-Janes and my flat leather and rubber Mary-Janes. I love my black ballerina flats and my black and silver strappy heels. I love my Black and white polka-dotted flip-flops and my American Flag platform flip-flops. I love my femme army boots and my soft leather chunk-heel boots. I love my black tennies and my kitty-cat skull skater flats. I love my black fuzzy house shoes. And of course I love my babies, a pair of black peep-toe pumps with a hounds-tooth heel that is soooo cute!
Along with my love of shoes I love funky pictures of shoes.
Here is a blog that features shoe pictures that I Stumbled Upon today.

Rant
What is the big deal with the Twilight Series? The writing style is that of a third grader, the girl (Bella) is a ditsy idiot after the first book, and the actor is not nearly what I think of when I read how beautiful the main guy (Edward) is. On Facebook Pieces of Flair is filled with love for Edward and the admittance that obsession with a fictional character is odd but no one cares (I personally think this very weird).
I have friends that love this series and I respect unhealthy love for books but good books, not badly written teen romance.

Dua:Two

StumbleUpon [ here ] is my newest online addiction. Well, not all that new really. I knew about it for a while but it wasn’t until my mom heard about it from a friend that Home1 was suddenly taken over by the little Stumble button. The site offers a toolbar for your computer and whenever you’re bored or just procrastinating like me click the Stumble button and it takes you to a random site. Great huh?

News
It is through Stumble that I’ve come across a great post in ForeverFun’s blog [ here ]. Nat-2, a company in Munich, has come out with a 2-in-1 shoe! And let me tell you they are all too awesome and cute! [Linkage: funforever post and Nat-2 ] The only sad thing is that it looks like they’re only sold over seas but I’ll keep you posted if I hear any rumors in the US.
