i love spyro!!
Music by Stewart Copeland
Stewart Copeland, the drummer of the band The Police, is credited with composing the soundtracks for the first three Spyro games as well as Enter the Dragonfly. The score for Spyro the Dragon was given high praise for its originality, portraying oriental/fantasy-like themes for the Dragon Worlds. All music was performed on a computer which he says were rather shallow compositions but one of the most fun gigs that he ever had. The original titles of the music tracks were named after the first noun that came into his head before he hit the "save" button.
Copeland made music for each world in the games as well as music devoted to each level, giving them each their own feel according to the natural surroundings, architecture and inhabitants of the place. For example, in Spyro the Dragon the Artisans' world of shepherds, sheep, medieval towers and endless green hills has an oriental-sounding mixture of bells and drums where as the Beast Makers' midnight swamp has a solid rhythm overlayed with the melancholy calls of an owl. Ambient music features in Spyro 2 such as Autumn Plains. Mainly, the music is very "busy", i.e. full of different percussion instruments underlying the melody. Ted Price, the head of Insomniac Games believed Copeland's work for Spyro: Year of the Dragon, which he co-wrote with Ryan Beveridge, was some of his best to date. It is the stage for all kinds of sounds, including strange vocals and exotic instruments in styles from all over the world. The music has never been released on CD.

The librarian-stripper
As I was reading an old magazine, I read the most hilarious comment about Sarah Palin. The blurb article is called Side Dish and the question was:
"Who has the best style: Cindy McCain, Sarah Palin, or Michelle Obama?"
"I'd have to go with Michelle. Sarah, definitely not. She reminds me of that seemingly demure woman who underneath it all wears no panties and is just a musical note away from pulling a No. 2 pencil out of her bun and letting her hair fall to her shoulders. Then she tears away the Velcro securing the blouse, flings her glasses across the dance floor and lets the world have it. Sarah's the librarian-stripper!"
Fucking hilarious...

Room decor whore
So lately I have been trying to gut my room and redecorate. After watching Penelope again and seeing her garden themed room with all the beautiful terraniums I decided that her room should be my inspiration. Its TOO cute. ( Stills )
The only downfall: I don't have a green room...AND I don't really want to paint it. But I do plan on getting some tree/bird/flower wall decals. The only problem is throwing away old stuff I don't use anymore. I am a PACK RAT. Seriously. And my room is a collection of 23 years worth of treasures and crapola.
I've been buying some cute things though so we will see how it turns out. Bed bath has some cute cheap clearance stuff and I love love love urban outfitters apartment stuff [waiting to get some decals and stuff from there after I throw or store all my posters away] hmm. . . I just realized her black lamp they sell something similar at TJ Maxx, I should grab that tonight.
Maybe I will get pictures up when its all done. This is such a huge project. I haven't gutted my room since before college.
eep.

there's this feeling that i was just thinking about.
that only seems to come from a particular moment.
it's happened a couple of times in england. in toronto.
spain... hell i think it's happened everywhere but here.
which is a bit of a shame.
anyways,
there's these moments, they're goodbyes, and they're not
sad. but they are not goodbyes that you want to happen.
a lot of these moments are my most memorable kisses.
lana getting into a cab in the snow outside of my apartment
in toronto. that goodbye forever kiss. scratching my head as she
disappeared for the rest of my life, not truly able to understand
what had happened for the last ten days.
laney laying in bed sick in england as we locked together so hard
it probably should have hurt. to walk out through her home and take
note of everything about me, as if i'd never see that home ever again.
and i won't.
lauren and i outside of that cafe in brighton, kissing for far too
long, to take steps away backwards as we both smiled. i winked and
took off running to catch a train i'd surely be late for.
i barely made it back to canada. i smiled the whole twenty hours home.
or kiko leaning out of the back of a car to kiss me before she drove
further south from montezuma and having to hold myself back from
chasing the car down and hopping in.
what i'm trying to get at is this, all of these moments held a certain
amount of passion and romance. you know. that je ne sais quoi. all of
those girls left me with a feeling of something more than i've ever
experienced here at home. and i don't think it's the girls in this cities
fault. or the cities. it eludes to exactly what a summer fling is meant
to be. that chances are, your inhibitions are let go of and everything
truly flows as it should. but maybe i want to blame this city. maybe
i want to blame the girls within it, is that not fair? is it so impossible
to be completely floored by someone anymore? is there no one left
to really surprise you and make you do anything to get this? flirting,
chasing, sex. these things are all attainable, this really isn't the problem.
lately,
i'm sort of finding people,
well,
boring.

and like the sea im constantly changing from calm to ill.
ive been doing a lot of "self searchin" whatever that is .
basically ive just been trying to sort things out in my crazy scattered head.
its still in progress.
also ive been listening to a lot of city and colour lately .
it makes me want winter nowwww...seriously dallas green can sing about puppies being murdered and it would still sound amazingly beautiful..i want to marry that man.
other than that , things are good. i graduate in nov.
im excited to have a life again. and be able to hang out with friends again.
and just be happy again.
oh and i met my new step-uncle and his son this weekend. it was weird bc they are so different from our family . but i really like them . they past the test that i secretly was giving them . so im pretty sure that they will be able to hang with us. plus i love having a big family its my favorite thing ever.

Travel business in Europe in 10 years. Travel agencies.
Before you decide to create a travel agency you should think about travel companies future. During recent 2 yea rs the travel companies quantity in Germany has been falling down by 10% a year. Why has it happened? Of course the answer is obvious – the Internet. Travel agencies have to compete with on-line giants and tour operators which make their offers to the clients (customers) directly via the Internet . Therefore according to the 10-year forecast all the large market segments will go to the Internet and the majority of existing travel agencies will become bankrupt or will change the strategy. Who will leave and who will stay in the market? The companies whose business does not bring any extra value to the customers in comparison with the Internet offers will certainly leave the market.....To know more

usa! usa! usa!
i recently read an article in which self-described real-life hockey moms sat down and watched the vice presidential debates and offered their opinions on the candidates. sarah palin, they claim, is someone they feel they can relate to. someone who truly understands their daily struggles as working mothers. joe biden, on the other hand, tends to speak "way above what an average american would understand."
[sidenote- average americans understand things such as: lindsay lohan's love life, american idol, driving SUVs, terrorism, post-thanksgiving sales, and buying in bulk.]
so what i gather from this is that it's more important that you have someone you can relate to in office than someone who knows a bit about the issues they are supposed to be changing. fair enough. let's get another rich white man in charge then. mccain's got to know a thing or two about struggling to pay for a house (or several..)
should i be alarmed then, that the future of the country i was born in shall be determined by hockey moms and people who still think that the earth was created in 7 days?
perhaps i am being unfair, and maybe i'm taking for granted the fact that i'm californian and i'm surrounded by queer-loving abortion-happy liberals (with the ironic exception of my own parents). but something about everything i'm hearing from the conservatives just doesn't seem to make sense. like, let's carry on some of the policies of george w., let's continue to send people off to a war that we're surely winning (and have been since al-qaeda's conception in 1992!) and let's tell girls what to do with their cooches and we're going to call it change!
and i thought the korean protests against american beef were silly.
oh, and the latest word from palin (among countless gems of wisdom) is that barak obama is guilty of palling around with terrorists. you know, people who try to force their ideologies on other people using fear tactics and violence....
in other news, i've recently found out that yet another cousin of mine is going to iraq soon.
god bless america.
( i need to find new music )
P.S.
this = this...?

this is my current favorite time of the day.
it's fall now so the sun won't wise for a few more minutes
and you still need to turn the lights on.
i can make and enjoy tea, clean, stretch and go to the gym,
come back and read the paper while eating breakfast and still
have the entire morning ahead of me.
i find all of this hilarious because i couldn't get up before
noon when i was sixteen without an alarm and now there isn't
an actual clock set up in this home.

I saw Michael Cera today at House of Vintage. He's as awkward in person as he is on screen.
