I am so itching to do some video-making. I’ve got four potential films in the works involving music, musical-age, and possibly some Jazzercise. I don’t know why I always want to make movies so bad. Anyway, I recently found some old videos, one of which was unfinished and decided to upload them to Facebook. As long as your friends with someone in ( Read more... )

These are, in no particular order, my 15 Songs of the Moment (because 10 wouldn't suffice:

1. "Skeleton Song" Kate Nash-- I think the concept of this song is so funny, and it's a damn catchy tune.

2. "Another Believer" Rufus Wainwright-- It's an upbeat, fanciful, fun tune that embodies the hopeful lyrics quite nicely. Plus, it's from the "Meet the ( Read more... )

My current obsessions are as follows:

1. Cardigans: I love them. I want to get some more. I even love the word. They make me feel like a hip grandma, and I'm cool with that.

2. Dropkick Murphys: Damn, I wish I was any kind of Irish.

3. Rufus Wainwright: I listened to pretty much solid Rufus on the Badger Bus. I can't even think of anyone to compare ( Read more... )

 So, this past week was pretty good, methinks ( Read more... )

The good:

~The Blood Center near the mall. They’re so incredibly nice. It definitely makes me want to go back there. Those employees are welcoming, friendly, and personable! And today, despite being kinda busy, I was out of there about 20 minutes after I walked in. Excellent.

~The Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Yummy. Joe Evrard made mine today. It was ( Read more... )

Boy, oh boy, have the past few days been eventful, so here's a little update.

Friday night I went Ceili dancing with Spam, Kat, and Christine. It was so much fun! I highly recommend it to all. I danced a few times with a man named Charles who thought I was the daughter of some woman he dated 20 years ago. For some odd reason, I usually ended up ( Read more... )

Another thanks to everyone who made ringing in 2008 great! The party was, in my opinion, a success. Special thanks to Ian, Ashley, and Joel who arrived early, by accident, but helped grealy. Everyone looked fabulous! There was so much taco dip, and I think we can all agree that that makes or breaks a party. Haha. There was a rousing game of Battle ( Read more... )

 Happy New Year!

May 2008 bring you all you want, need, and deserve!

Peace and Love!

P.S. Thanks to everyone who helped me ring in the new year in style and to those still at my house who are watching Disney movies with me (ie: Karen, Ashley, Ian, Drake, and Joel who is sleeping...)!

Christmas was pretty good. My family went out on Friday and Joel came along. Kathleen couldn't make it. It seems we can never get the six of us together. Anyway, we went to Casa di Giorgio. I would go there just for the salad dressing. Yum. It was certainly interesting. Santa showed up, we talked about monkey gonads. Oh yeah, typical Kropp dinner.

 I know soooooome people think optimism is dangerous or frivoulous, but I am in full support of it. Afterall, it's good when good things happen, right? When people get all wrapped up in their own, or other peoples' drama, it makes for a stressful life. And sure, it can certainly be interesting to hear what's going on with other people but most of ( Read more... )
