fun with words

This is too funny not to share:

happy friday!

Just stopping by on this glorious, frigid Friday morning with a quick video. I thought this was a really cool way to remember all the happenings in the world in 2010. I especially like the end when they start typing and Google makes suggestions: Angry Birds!!



Outfit post up later today!

silly old bear and other things

Just some videos that are rattling around the web today.







Stay tuned for another post this afternoon, when I will finally have some free time!

i hangglide on a dorito.

 This is too bizarrely adorable not to share.

oh, god

People can believe in whatever they want, and I am in no way making fun of or looking down on anyone's beliefs...but this is RIDICULOUS. Please pay particular attention to the guy at the beginning that weighs "three hundred pounds!"

inundation of videos

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I Trailer (squee!)

It's no secret I love me some Harry Potter. Did I mention I will be visiting Harry Potter World in Orlando the day this movie premieres? Because I will be. Beyond excited. It's going to be MAYJOR (or that's what Rachel Zoe would think if she was into Harry Potter. Who knows, maybe she is.)

Weezer feat. Jorge Garcia - "Perfect Situation"

This made my afternoon. Weezer's new album is called "Hurley" and has a picture of him on the cover. I've heard a couple songs of the album though, and I do not care for them, but this is a really good old school Weezer song, plus it's Hurley. Come on! Awesome stuff.Just found out they're doing a tour of just songs from Pinkerton and the Blue Album. Um, sign me up please. I'll be there.

Trailer for "Gnomeo & Juliet"

I imagine how the creator of this movie must have felt the night before he was supposed to pitch this idea:  "Oh God, I haven't come up with anything! The boss is going to be so pissed!" *sees Travelocity commercial* "Lawn gnomes! Lawn gnomes are adorable! They're underrepresented in entertainment! What can I do with lawn gnomes...gnomes...'Hangin' with my Gnomies?...No...Gnomeo...hmmm, Gnomeo...I've got it, Gnomeo & Juliet!" I mean, he must have walked into that meeting expecting to be fired, right?

I told you there would be an inundation with videos. Sadly, this is probably all you will hear of me this weekend. I will be moving, which we all know is time consuming and exhausting. I will try to be back to normal posts come Monday, but it depends on how things go. Meanwhile, expect some minor changes to this blog's appearance over the weekend. Stay tuned!

can i have four beers?

Ah Sunday! My favorite day of the week. I truly believe Sunday should be spent doing whatever you want to do, and today I want to lay on the couch, read magazines, and play video games. Oh and buy new shampoo. So that's what I'll be doing today. I also plan on making boyfriend help clean the apartment and start packing things up, but he's asleep and doesn't know that yet. Expect a toddler sized tantrum when I tell him.

Here's a video for you on this lovely Sunday morning, since I haven't posted one of these in awhile:

The Landlord from Will Ferrell

don't you forget about me

Just a clip from my all time favorite movie on this dreary New England morning.

Unfortunately, the embed feature for all the Breakfast Club clips has been disabled on YouTube, but here is a link if you are so inclined. It's worth it!

Screws fall out all the time, the world's an imperfect place.

the mysterious ticking noise

Time for another Manic Monday video (yes, I do come up with a new name for this segment every week)! This week we have the Potter Pals rendition of...

The Mysterious Ticking Noise

*I'm going to stick with this Manic Monday video format, mainly because I'm typically too exhausted on Monday to write up a new post. So I am now taking video suggestions! All suggestions can be emailed to ksolano13@gmail.com and may or may not be posted at my discretion. All videos are fair game - music videos, movie clips, parodies, you name it.*

i want money! (that's what i want)

I love Marc Jacobs. If I was a rich lady I'd own a lot of Marc. Particularly handbags, but pretty much all of it. Here are some of my current OMG-I-die-like -Rachel-Zoe Marc Jacobs accessory items:

Modified Cat Eye Sunglasses - $98

I might have to move around some of my budget to allow for these babies. I love the black and teal ones. I think the shape would be really flattering, too.

"Flash Shapeshifter" Zip Trim Satchel - $478

This is what I would love to buy with my tax money this year. (Provided I get enough. Taxes suck man.) I love the color and the zipper details.

Mouse Ballet Flats - $230

Seriously, how cute are these? SO CUTE.

The Marc Jacobs stores also carry a bunch of awesome and affordable stuff. I highly recommend dropping into one and checking it out.

Floral Umbrella - $18

Charm Necklace - $16

Latin Bracelets - $7

 I love those bracelets. I have two of them but I may need more. Because they look awesome layered with other bracelets.

I feel your pain Lucas.

Turns out there are people in the world who have not yet experienced the wonder that is the Muppets singing Bohemian Rhapsody.

i don't want to wait

Well, I will be attending this next year, dressed as Joey Potter:

I am a fan of Gossip Girl, even though this season was pretty lame until the end. And even though I think Jenny is a hot mess minus the hot, and she is so incredibly annoying on that show with her ratty extensions and raccoon eyes...I'm really kind of digging this song from her band Pretty Reckless:

The series finale of Lost was last night. I have such mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I do like the way it ended, on the other hand, looking back, I feel like this entire season kind of deviated from what Lost was for these past five years. From old-school Lost to this season just felt like a huge deviation for me. But the end was satisfying and heart-wrenching, I felt. And now, since I love them so much, a video:

I've been a video-a-holic today it feels like.



I used to have a Bedazzler, but my Mom got rid of it when she tried to Bedazzle a beach bag and it didn't come out the way she wanted. Blame it on the Bedazzler Mom, sure. I kind of wish I still had it. I've been wanting to put some studs on jeans and things, and it would probably be easier with that miracle tool. Though Mom would probably disagree.

Jamie and I found this bad boy at JR's on the way to Myrtle Beach. How amazing is this toy?! I thought it was amazing, as I'm sure you can tell by my giggling and squealing in the video. It was just one of the amazing artifacts JR's had to offer. We did get in trouble for taking pictures a little while after this video. They had a giant Santa! How can you put a giant Santa in a store and not allow people to take their pictures with it? Ridiculous.

I love children singing. And playing the ukelele.
