how i'm livin' this week

* in my ears * (aka what i'm listening to):

maroon 5, friday the 13th live (have i mentioned how much i love adam levine? sigh, . . . no disrepect to my fh (future husband) jesse l. martin but adam is just plain yummy. secret/ain't no sunshine is great. and finally a decent copy of wasted years - yea! also dig the cover of oasis' hello. can't wait for a new album!)

my chemical romance, three cheers for sweet revenge (gothic, thrashy, headbanging fun. "i'm not o-fuckin'-kay"! other faves: the ghost of you; i never told you what i do for a living; the jetset life is gonna kill you)

selected songs from hustle & flow ("whoop that trick! get her! whoop that trick!" - poetry, man. pure poetry)

songs from instant star, alexz johnson (sigh, . . . okay, here it goes: i love the n aka noggin during the day. i watched the entire season of this show and could not wait to get the soundtrack and it rocks! alexz has a great voice. songs i love: your eyes, skin, that girl and her cover of garbage's stupid girl)


* before my eyes* (aka what i'm watching):

lost (i've got nuthin' but questions - more questions, actually - but am enjoying the ride. still the best show on tv)

america's next top model (love this show. it is such nonsense but soooooo entertaining. i'm rooting for kayla, nik and bre for the final three)

degrassi: the next generation (i grew up on degrassi junior high and degrassi high. it was real and did not insult kids' intelligence. this spinoff is as real and topical as its predecessors. the new season of tng staredt last week - poor manny. why can't she keep her clothes on?? - and promises to be just as entertaining as the others. "degrassi. it goes there")

general hospital (i used to watch it religiously in high school and eventually gave up soaps altogether several years ago. but one day i was home during the day and watched it just to see what folks were up to and now i'm hooked again - dammit! carly's gone crazy. jason has amnesia. liz was carrying jax and courtney's baby to pay off lucky's hospital bills. and robin scorpio is coming back! i can barely stand it)


* in my hands * (aka what i'm reading):

back issues of entertainment weekly (i love this mag. it makes me so happy every friday)

cinematography by kris malkiewicz (the book i need for film class isn't going to get here until next week so i gotta read something . . .)

pinkisthenewblog.com (unfortunately work blocks the perez hilton site, which is one of my favorites, but trent is awesome as well and has a line on all the sleeze, i mean entertainment news)

am new york (i prefer it over the metro any day of the week and twice on sundays. as free papers go, it gets me through my commute and is pretty decent. well, except for today when it said that the high temperature for today would be 663 degrees. right on the front page. somebody's getting fired . . .)

so what are you digging this week?

holla,
