Sweet Beats

OK something to rave about. You must (MUST) check out this amazing radio player I added to my sidebar.

Step 1: Grab a small snack and a tasty drink.

Step 2: Type in the name of one of your favorite artists and the audio player will magically generate a playlist streaming random tracks by that artist and similar ones as well.

Step 3: Take a bite of your snack.

Step 4: Allow song playing to commence.

Step 5: Gasp in amazement as your ears are filled with melodies that can only be described as positively delicious.

Step 6: Proceed with two minute cool down period as to avoid an overload of sheer greatness.

Step 7: Resume snack eating and enjoy your tracks!

USE it or LOSE it kids.

**ONE LAST TIP** I know you're excited to see what the upcoming songs are, but the music player (let's call her Lafawnda) gets pissed off if you keep skipping ahead and pulls out some mean tricks....so play nice.

Pistachio



I'm quite a fan of Lisa Hannigan's new solo album....she used to cameo on a bunch of Damien Rice tracks and I'm so excited she decided to make this CD. Lisa can sing me songs all night long while I dream of silky soft bunnies and sweet bon bons. How nice.

Paper Heart



YES! "take somebody to applebees and get them hot wings." hahahaha I'm sold. I wanna be friends with that little girl so bad. This movie looks really refreshing, plus my not so secret crush on Michael Cera compels me to giggle uncontrollably inside. That's always a good sign.

Korean Film Festival



Epitaph (2007)

"Wandering spirits from Korea's troubled colonial past invade this nightmarish and utterly beautiful sequence of interwoven ghost stories. A dark and dreamy poem, Epitaph transcends the boundaries of the horror genre and is arguably one of the best Korean films of 2007."

I'm a sucker for a good, well written horror flick, none of this "When a Stranger Calls" business. In my experience, Korean films have yet to disappoint. I'm so stoked to check this movie out!

**UPDATE** (April 28)
This movie sucked a hundred buttholes. I bet the people in charge of all the scary scenes and cheesy sound effects paid the writers a million hamburgers to eliminate any sort of reasonable semi entertaining storyline.

Dear Epitaph,

You are a failure of a movie. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Love,
Connie

DIY: tie dye scarf



photos and inspiration by punkystyle

I have been feeling pretty crafty lately and have been planning several "do-it-yourself" projects. This one is definitely on the top of my list. I've had my eye on the American Apparel Circular Scarf for a while now. HOWEVER, a lot of their clothes and accessories can be easily made at home for so much cheaper. Hmmmmmmmm. This scarf is a tube of fabric sewn together for $33...really? two meters of fabric and some RIT dye will do nicely thanks. woo!

Wanna make one too? See sewing instructions on mywakingmemories' blog.
