Healthy & Yummy

In trying to not only eat healthier but to ween myself off of meats I've been eating lots of really yummy and healthy foods. Trying out new recipes and eating really good recently!

Great Read: Dark Lover

I've known about this series for a very long time but I never picked it up cause I tend to like my vampire stories to come from Anne Rice but In my ever changing hunt for good books to read I finally decided to give this series a try and I just finished the first book today. The first half of the book was pretty good, not great but still pretty interesting but half way through it got titillatingly good. I couldn't wait to get to the next page and the next page. By the end of the book I was already planning my trip to the library to get the next two! The characters are beyond interesting and I have a feeling that this first book is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of great characters and great story lines. I'm already addicted to this series. Very good book to read and a great series to sink your teeth into.

Good Read: Song of the Sparrow

This was a really good book that I almost didn't even read because I didn't like the cover. I'm so glad I picked it up and started reading it. It's a really wonderful book that's a sort or re-imagining of the story of King Arthur only it's about Elaine of Ascolat and it's a magical realistic fantasy world! I even ended up loving the cover which in my imagination is a picture of Elaine and her simple beauty. Very good and unusual read!

What's Become Of Dominique Swain?

She's an amazing actress, beautiful and she's been in a lot of great movies but it's been years since I've read about her or seen her in something new. I wonder if she's got any new movies coming out? Someone needs to give her a good role. Every time I see a picture of Amber Heard or read something about her I think of Dominique Swain. I guess cause they look similar but I just think why would someone hire her for a role when they could Dominique Swain? I think the last big movie she was in was Alpha Dog. Well here is to hoping that she gets back in the spotlight soon cause she's too good an actress to fade into oblivion! I personally love her in Girl, Intern & Lolita.

Better Late Than Never

I've had this photo set aside for awhile because I hate valentines day. Single or Coupled this "holiday" is full of artificial flavor and unwanted pressure. So I had planned on posting this photo here and on twitter to express my true feelings for this non-holiday. Until I ended up having a really awesome day. I was surprised with my favorite chocolates and went shopping for some new crystals and stones. It was a good day, mostly free of cliches with little mention of the candy coated heart themed consumerism day! So if you treat february 14th like just an average day you might be surprised by how awesome it can be!

Evan Rachel Wood In Cincinnati

For a while now it's been big news around town that George Cloony was shooting scenes from his new movie Ides Of March in Cincinnati, Ohio particularly at Fountain Square downtown. Until today I hadn't really thought much of it until I came across these photos of Evan Rachel Wood! I was so excited to learn that she was in the movie and thus the area that when I learned they were most likely done filming in my area and had moved on to filming at Miami University I became really bummed out. I would have loved the opportunity to stalk Evan around Cincinnati! Seriously I adore her, she's my favorite actress and just an all around interesting person. Maybe another opportunity to meet her will present itself but most likely not!
Anyway she looks lovely and happy in these pics, back to rocking traditional blond locks and smiling around the super hot Ryan Gosling. One things for sure she's provided the interest I needed to follow the making of this movie!

These Kids Know How To Remix:

Their names are Gerald Fermen, Jayne Baltazar, Arct Tabanas & BJ Tran. I love how they remix the songs and the way their voices and beats compliment each other. I also think that the acoustic car performances are adorable (t-shirt time... wah lol). Check them out on youtube, facebook and the like, they're not a band so look up their names or go to this link to get started;

Morgan Booth Art

http://www.morganbooth.com/

The past few weeks I've come across so many incredible artists. This is the kind of art that inspires me to paint. That inspires to be more creative. Morgan Booth's work make me think of graffiti, street art, abstract realities and science fiction. Definitely one of my new favorite artist.

Natalia Kills The Wonderland Remix

I love this song... well the remix. I'm not a big fan of Natalia Kills in general I hated her Mirrors video & song as well as the message behind it. This song appeals to me though and the remix is the shit!

Someone Like Adele

I'm in Love with this song!

Adeles new album is even better than 19 which is hard to believe.

Tortured With Tofu

Never. Ever. Again.

I really tried to make a deliciously seasoned stir fry with tofu as you can see from the picture above. Sadly it was not humanly possible. While the finished product looks edible (below) it was the most disgusting, slimy, inedible food I've ever tried! The texture of it, the taste of the inside ugggh. It's like easting a thick chunk of worm or something equally slimy and gross. No tofu for me on my quest towards vegetarianism. Sorry folks but when it comes to non meat, meat substitutes tofu is NOT the way to go! This was my first taste of true horror since I started to ween myself off meat and thankfully I tried other meat substitutes before tofu or I would have been scared right back into the arms raw cooked flesh!
