Goodbye Life. You were fun while you lasted.

Since I have literally been grounded for life due to frivolous, teenage mistakes, I will have a lot more time to spend with this wonderous blog. Thought I would begin my eternity of virtual boredom with this week's Song of Choice, which just so happens to be United States of Eurasia by one of my favorite bands: Muse.


Here's a link to this magnificent song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ok0expLH1o

I have always loved Muse and after recently seeing them in concert with my musical companion, Natalie, my love has only grown stronger. The band is absolutely pristine live. Their sound is one hundred percent authentic which is how I feel all musicians should be. The song above is my favorite off their latest album The Resistance and mixes classic, soothing music, with modern rock. I hope you enjoy its glory as well, but come on, who doesn't love British rock stars?

Horror Movie Madness!

As a die hard movie fan I am willing to watch just about anything, but nothing sparks my fancy like a good old fashioned scary movie. Since I'm still on my Halloween kick I will be watching and reviewing horror films throughout October for you guys. Paranormal Activity 2, Saw 3D (which I am tragically addicted to), and Don't be Afraid of the Dark are on my agenda for the month. In the meantime here are some of my favorite movies for when I'm in the mood to be simply terrified:

• The Exorcist (1973)- I had to put it on here. Any true horror fanatic will understand.
• The Omen (2006)- I loved the remake. Thought the cinematography as well as the scares were extremely well executed.
• The 6th Sense (1999)- Classic. Eery. Delightful acting.
• Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)- Yet another classic starring my beloved Johnny Depp. Scares are a little dated, but never fail to entertain me. 1, 2, Freddy's coming for you...
• The Ring (2002)- Demented little girl with mounds of black hair crawling out of a well. Enough said.
• The Orphanage (El Orfanato) (2007)- Foreign horror films are always the scariest, especially this one. Some scenes had me jumping out of my seat.
• Paranormal Activity (2007)- This was a debatable "love it or hate it" film. I loved it. Nothing ridiculously scary, but the simplest of things are sometimes the best. I also greatly appreciated the movie from a film makers point of view.
• Let the Right One In (2008)/ Let me In (2010)- I thought both the Swedish and American versions were highly entertaining. Let me In (American) features more scares, but Let the Right One In stayed closer to the original plotline of the book. One may be more favorable depending on what mood you're in, but I would easily reccommend either of them.

















This is Halloween

San Diego's dark, rainy, Schizophrenic, weather had inspired me to write about none other than Halloween. I have a deep love for wild costumes and horror films, so naturally it would be one of my favorite holidays. Unfortunately, it always saddens me to watch the diginity of almost every girl at my school flicker away in just one night. "Oh my god, remember when we dressed up as Dallas cowgirls and got wasted at so-and-so's house?" The thought that this is probably the favorite Halloween memory of half the teenage girl population, sickens me. I mean, these "sexy" costumes are getting a little ridiculous. Next thing you know a "sexy warthog" will be on Party City's hot costume list. I respect everyone's right to do what they want, but I hope to bring the fun, creative, spirit back to Halloween this year.

Addicted.

I have officially had No Surprises by Radiohead stuck in my head for about a week now. It is basically taking over my thoughts, so I have decided to share the addiction with you. Do enjoy. Actually, you will enjoy because it is simply impossible not to fall for the angelic melody of this song.

No Surprises- Radiohead

Post One: Hooray for doing something productive!

Us teenagers must be important, otherwise why have so many musicians written songs about us? Baba O'reilly, We Are Golden, Smells like Teen Spirit, I Was a Teenage Anarchist, Teenage Dream, and how can we forget Teenagers itself? I thought since we're always being talked about, why not actually have something to say in return. Although I guaruntee no one is reading this right now, let me have my moment of pride because everyone has to start somewhere. I may not be your cliched, rebellious teenager, but I speak my mind and have a reason behind every thought. So if you would like to see music, movies, fashion, and life throught he eyes of a geeky teenager, be my guest and keep on reading. Ciao!
