At the end of the worst day ever.
One day, today will be a funny story from my first job, but right now I feel like absolute crap.
Star Trek 2009 Gag Reel
So I saw the new Star Trek movie for the first time tonight. (Yeah, I’m super late on this, I know.) The beginning made me cry (!!!) and the “Space: the final frontier” voiceover at the end gave me goosebumps. Overall, extremely entertaining — and there was more than one action sequence where I found myself living vicariously through the characters onscreen.
We watched this gag reel after the movie. My favorite moments: Leonard Nimoy cussing, Zachary Quinto’s “Omigod”s and the last outtake in the reel. Classic.
Before They Were Lady Gaga of the Day: Footage of some nobody named Stephanie Germanotta performing a medley of songs at a 2005 NYU talent showcase surfaced recently on the Internet.
Let me be the first to say, this lady sure can sing. I really hope she makes it.

Incredible. I actually hated “Just Dance”, but after I saw her perform “Poker Face” on American Idol (with the piano at the beginning), I was sold.
Also: Girl has some legit piano skills!
What I wore yesterday. Do I match? Maybe not. I was just really excited to wear my new boots.
Blue vintage jacket, tan ruffle skirt from Old Navy, tights from Target, boots by Limelight (I can’t find any information about them!).
Today’s Smile Friday, right? It’s been awhile!
Being silly in the men’s section of H&M.
Prelude in G Minor, Op. 23 No. 5 by Rachmaninoff
At work last week I was looking for music to play at my desk, and I rediscovered Rachmaninoff preludes. This is one of my favorites — the transition from the strong, almost military feel of the first section to the lyrical middle section just gets me. Total eargasm. (Listen up to at least 1:40 to hear what I’m talking about!)
Bach’s Suite No. 01 in G Major - Yo-Yo Ma
Oh cello, you slay me.
Mmmm…good way to end the day.
(Heard on trailers for The Soloist.)
FILIPINO FOR “FUCKING YOUR SHIT UP” Manny Pacquiao, of the Philippines, hammers Miguel Cotto, of Puerto Rico, against the ropes during their WBO welterweight boxing title fight Saturday, Nov. 14, 2009 in Las Vegas. (Photo: Mark J. Terrill / AP)
Owned!
Although I really have to give Cotto major props for staying in the match as long as he did. As many hits as he took, he still dealt them out — gotta respect.
7 TITLES. 7 DIVISIONS. POUND FOR MO’FU*KING POUND. BRING IT ON MAYWEATHER!
Waited through three undercards and 11 and a half rounds for this! NANALO SI MANNY! :)
Playing with Instyle’s Hair Makeover tool. I really like this, but I don’t think my hair will ever naturally do this — it’s a bit thick and a little wavy. And I don’t like the idea of taking a flat iron to my hair every single day.
Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends
Sarah McLachlan - Angel
This week is really just not my week. I consider myself a fairly positive and upbeat person, but right now I just feel like a failure.
I haven’t listened to this song in a long time, but I heard it on the radio on my way home tonight, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ll be good as new tomorrow — at least, that’s what I need to tell myself.
spend all your time waiting for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there’s always some reason to feel not good enough
and it’s hard at the end of the day
i need some distraction, oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty, oh and weightless and maybe i’ll find some peace tonight…
One day, today will be a funny story from my first job, but right now I feel like absolute crap.
