October it is
I'm not doing very well with the blogging lately. If anyone is reading, I'm sorry to have left you all without a new entry in over a week! Today is Friday, it couldn't come at a better time...this week has felt soooooooooo long. 10am, only 8 more hours to go. ;) I just got some new soundtracks in the mail yesterday and I'll be listening to those today. I got the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack - it's good. Has a Postal service song on it which was featured as the trailer song for the show. It also features Rilo Kiley, Joe Purdy, Ben Lee, Inara George, Get Set Go and 9 or 10 other artists. I got the soundtrack from the film 'Thumbsucker' too. I have not seen the movie yet, but the score was written by The Polyphonic Spree and features about 4 songs by Elliott Smith. Looking forward to listening. Also in the bundle are the scores to Flight Plan and The Greatest Game Ever Played. I did not see the greatest game...but I did see Flight Plan. It was OK, a decent thriller.
I think it would be fun to music supervise a cool tv show like Grey's Anatomy. It's not a cheesy teen show, but not as adult contemporary as ER or Desperate Housewives...and has a lot of room to place the kind of music I enjoy hearing on a TV show. I miss Felicity so much. I don't know if anyone else recognized this. I always pay attention the music in shows that I love. When Felicity aired, the show was filled with great music...ryan adams, starsailor to name a few. Because I'm such a fan of the show, and I could watch every episode a million times over, I own the seasons on DVD. Now when Disney distributed these DVDs, their music budget was much smaller, obviously. And I understand that they can't use the same songs because of that reason, but it appears as though no one cared about what an effect the music had on the show. They didn't even try to replace it with something similar or 'fitting.' I remember my reaction to certain scenes when the show originally aired and I watch them again on my DVDs now, and my reaction is NO where near what it was and the quality of the show just seems different now....bad even. I'm thinking about writng a letter to the music supervisors who were hired to do the music for the DVDs. (not that it would matter but I feel I need to do something!) I *think* it was the same supervisors who did the actual show....in which case makes it worse! Anyway, that's how I feel about that.
Quinn and I have had a lot of fun lately. We are really enjoying where we live (it's been 2 months, can you believe it?!), and we met some new friends who live in the area. It's always fun when you're meeting new people and making plans and not sitting at home, wishing you were more fun ;) We have so much to look forward to as well in the coming months...which is even more fun! Visiting old friends, hanging with new friends, going to Vegas, Thanksgiving, possibly a weekend trip to a cabin in Mammoth, Christmas, seeing family.....good times ahead.
My little sister, Ginger is in town. She got in last night and we went to dinner with my dad in Manhattan Beach. We went to Mama D's. It's an Italian restaurant close to the water and the pier. It was delicious. Thanks dad! Today they are touring Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Tonight we are going to eat on the promenade in Santa Monica, and tomorrow we are going to Laguna Beach, Palos Verdes and Newport Beach. And then she is leaving on Sunday :( Such a short and quick trip, but at least she was able to come out anyway.
Candace and Eric are buying/building a new house in Houston. Which is good news for us and for them...maybe it will get them going on starting that family I want them to start soon! :) Yes, it's all about what I want. No, I know they are newly married and have plenty of time, but I just cannot wait until they start having babies. I know they are going to be so cute! Bones, if you are reading....good luck on finding the perfect new house. Ginger told me that Eric was looking at a house in Westgate yesterday. I hope that if you like it, it's yours!
My older sister, Daphne who lives in NYC, just got a new job. She's working in production for an advertsising agency/company. Last time I talked to her, she seemed to be liking it. Congrats, Dz Nuts! Can't wait to visit. May 2006... that's the plan as of now. I know you would like it to be sooner, but I don't have any vacation time left and I don't want to come out there for only a long weekend. It's too short, especially with the days it takes to travel there..LA to NYC...is like a 9 hour day.
Well, I should get back to doing my work. Have a great weekend.

Yo shubes....glad a new entry was up...i'm bad about reading, but it was good to have something up there to read! Got the same package from Hollywood Records. I actually listened to Thumbsucker first...the Polphonic score is actually pretty good. Check out track 13 "Skinny Dip"...its very Badly Drawn Boy/About a Boy-esque..very cute :)
And yes....we've had the Felicity conversations many a tims..I think i know who replaced that music...it was the music supervisors coordinator turned supervisor, Buck Damon...i have his address/email/phone/fax if you want to send him something!
I'll be around all weekend....just running tomorrow morning...I'm dying to see some movies...anyone up for "In Her Shoes"?
Bye shubes....try and enjoy the rest of your day!
I'm just now reading this blog.. after I've come & gone :( I'm sad my trip is over. I had a really good time out there. I seriously love that place! If I could do things over again.. I might have considered a move myself :)
Now its back to this BS.. work & school.. just wish I had the Pacific coast & awesome weather to keep me motivated ;)
I loved felicity...don't have the dvd and I wonder if i'd notice...i'd be a good test since I don't pay much attention to stuff like that :) Felicity was pre-kids so I could at least sit down and watch it!
It would be great if you could start razzing matt & ab to get on the baby wagon :)
