Guten Morgen!

I am never not surprised when I meet a German person here. I should be getting used to it by now but I really can not get over the excitement I feel when I hear that accent! 

I'm starting to understand just how much of melting pot the Big Island is.

Zombieland

 I always though that the tumblr famous quote "I avoided other people like they were zombies even before they were zombies" was from that zombie tv show on FX or whatever.

I don't know if this poster is legit, but it is amazing.

"You almost knocked over your alcohol with your knife." Is my favorite quote.

The scene were Columbus gives insanely hot 406 a snack and drink and she's like
"Mountain dew?"
"Yeah, code red." And here's some Golden Grahams The ziploc bags keep them crisp."
I don't even drink soda and I especially don't like mountain dew but that scene kinda made me want some. the advertising was just so obnoxious and cute at the same time. My dad got me some organic graham crackers! YES!

I bet 406 is a dancer.

Not gonna lie, my favorite part of the whole movie is the opening credits with the slow mo of people getting chased by zombies and that cool rock song playing. I just keep playing it over and over again. I wish it was like twenty minutes long. I would enjoy every second of that beautiful montage

Isn't she adorable?

Raise It Up!

I've been listening to nothing but Florence + the Machine since I re-discovered her last week. At first it was normal, I was in love with a few songs that I kept on constant repeat as I usually do when I find new music.

But then I started listening to more of her music and realized that I loved it as well. This rarely happens to me. I can't even name five bands/musicians that I listen to and enjoy all of there music. I think Florence + the Machine is my new favorite band. 0_o

Yes, I felt an emoticon was the appropriate way to express myself. I am a child of the technology age!

Florence, the Force

I first heard about Florence and the Machine about a year ago while watching Florence Welch (lead singer) give an interview on a alternative music youtube channel. I thought she seemed a sweet and quirky person for she talked about her costumes for her music videos. I wasn't really captured by her voice at first, sadly, the song chosen to feature in the video was a quiet one that didn't really show her amazing vocal abilities.

Fast forward to yesterday. I was on mtv voting for the VMAs and I noticed her up against Lady Gaga a couple times. I decided to check out the music videos of hers that were nominated. To be perfectly honest I didn't like them that much but I fell in love with the songs and her voice. Actually, before I even watched either of the "Dog Days" videos I watched "The Drumming Song" first.

Then I played it about ten more times, totally hooked.

After playing it to my full I immediately looked for a live version of it to see how Florence fared singing live. I watched some of her performance from T4 on the Beach and I was pretty blown away. Not only did she sound just as good as the studio version of the songs, if not better, she was running and spinning around on a walkway in five inch heels at speeds that made me a little nervous. All that while singing in her usual epic and powerful voice. She didn't sound out of breath at all for a moment.

After watching the live performances I was pretty sure I had found myself a new favorite artist.


That feeling I had got magnified by about ninety when I watched the music video for Cosmic Love. I was completely and utterly swept up in the power and beauty of the song and I genuinely liked the music video. I must have watched it about thirty times.

I'm not voting for Florence for Video of the Year because, as I said, I don't really like her music videos and to be far I think Lady Gaga truly had "videos of the year" I voted for her in the Best Rock Video category though.



Here is the music video of her latest single Cosmic Love

Emma Watson's Haircut

One of my top favorite celebrities, Emma Watson, has just chopped her blond hair into a chic pixie cut.

She announced today, on her facebook account, that she actually cut it a few days ago.

I think it looks really fresh and cute.

She described getting it chopped as, "the most liberating thing ever." I can imagine. I have the same urge to just chop my hair short a lot of the time even though I'm in the middle of growing it out.

I can't wait for the press for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 starts up and the movie to hit theaters of course! I just finished rereading Deathly Hallows last night and I've got to say I enjoyed the epilogue so much more the second time around.
