Song of the week:
"Where the Story Ends" by The Fray.
Why I like it:
- Because I've yet to find a song by The Fray that I don't like? Okay, no really. The Fray just released their new [self-titled] album at the beginning of this month and let me tell you, there are some chart toppers on it, at least I think so. I like this particular song though, because I can relate. You don't need to know how or why, but it really hits home for me. Nevermind the fact that the piano is amazing (like always though?) and the vocal are totally distinct (think The-Fray-Like, okay what a bad joke, this is why I don't write blogs late at night). It's one of those songs where you try to sing-a-long and every time you sing it you realize you're saying one word wrong and you hear what the word really is and you go, "OH! It makes so much more sense!" ...please don't tell me I'm the only one who does that? That was a compliment to the song, by the way, even if it didn't sound like it. Okay...maybe you should just listen to it.
Movie of the week:
Four Christmases.
Why I like it:
- I liked this movie because it reminded me a little bit of what I'm expecting in my own future; sorry, I can't elaborate. And you know, I'm not usually a big Vince Vaughn fan, but I actually enjoyed him in this movie. Oh, and I'm definitely aware that it's not even remotely close to the Christmas season, so why was this the movie of the week? Just go with it people, okay? It was light and funny for the first 40 minutes or so, but then there were a couple twists and turns that kept you on your toes. Of course, it was a little predictable, but what movie isn't anymore. All in all, I'd watch it again. I recommend you rent it when it comes out on DVD in a few months.
Hotspot of the week:
The Wade King Recreational Center.
Why I like it:
- You know, I don't even know if that's what it's called and there's a definite possibility that I did in fact make that name up. But I feel like I got part of it right. Anyway, I've been spending some time there, more often than not with my friend Sarah. Despite the fact that we seem to keep running into a couple of familiar faces that we'd rather avoid, it's a pleasurable experience. Well, despite the whole "duck walking" that we do on leg days, I'd say it's pleasurable. You know that feeling the morning after you work out your legs and you wake up and find that you can't physically get down from your loft bed? You know that feeling? Yeah, hey, me.
YouTube video of the week:
Tres Piece - "Finale".
Why I like it:
- Not only is the guy on the left totally bomb, these guys are so good at lip syncing. Well, this video might not be the perfect example (try watching Tell Me Tell Me). Anyway, keep a weather eye out for the white horse that the guy brings in a little over halfway through. I never even liked the song Grillz until I saw these guys rock it. And I don't know what else to say about these three guys except that they've provided plenty of entertainment to my dorm and our neighbors.
