the reason i am posting 2 versions of this song is because i don't want to put too many grey's spoilers for L here. so L, you have a choice. the original rihanna taking a very sad bath version, or the tear jerker grey's version. enjoy!
so i downloaded this song 2 days ago and i've already listened to it 27 times. oh wait, 28. thanks, one two.
sometimes i wish you could just send a good old fashioned smoke signal to get a message to someone. reminding me of sufjan stevens and a little gord downie, i thank you for this, matt hires.
so by the luck of the draw, my jewelry (as well as the jewelry of my etsy BFF julie) will be on it's way tomorrow via TheArtisanGroup to Stana Katic's stylist in hollywood! this gifting means a lot because the lovely ms. katic is a fellow canadian no less! even though she plays buttoned up detective kate beckett on ABC's beloved show 'castle', i chose the rings above because they seem to suit her laid-back bohemian style off-screen. made of silky sterling silver,each ring ishandformed into arandom and un...
valentine's day has to be my most favorite holiday. not that anything super-ass spectacular has ever happened to me on valentine's day, but the idea of a day set apart to remember to acknowledge the ones you love? nice. i know some of you will argue that it's a money grab (it probably is) and an overhyped excuse to get all dolled up and be with someone (more than likely) but it still holds a special place in my heart. speaking of hearts, in honour of valentine's day, i've been working on some new heart...

yes. guilty as charged. i haven't been keeping up with the blog much lately, mostly because every day has started to blend into the next and chasing after a toddler and a newborn is pretty time consuming. however, in my never ending quest for new music, i stumbled upon an article on twitter about a local canadianband called Walk Off the Earth, who's cover of Goyte's somebody that i used to know was the 2nd most viewed video on youtube in canada - second only to the vapid, tongue-in-cheek "gangnam style"....
so almost another month has gone by, and here we are on christmas day. between fighting a terrible cold (seriously, newborns should be exempt from illness) and getting ready for the holidays, the time has just flown away from me. in the early hours of xmas morning though, i am taking a few rare solitary minutes to count my blessings - and there are many despite the challenges we have had in 2012.inhonor of baby jesus's birthday, i am sending outthis great cover of one of my favorite holiday songs. mariah...
