She's Some Kind of Wonderful...

Hello out there! I hope you all are enjoying the long weekend (for those of you who get it), and making the most of this time away from work/before school starts/last days of freedom, etc etc.

So yesterday I went out to my parents' cabin, and had a grand time. A time that has resulted in horrible pain, mind you, but still it was great while it ( Read more... )

OUCH! Your water skiing accident sounds incredibly painful. *hides* Hope you feel better soon but please get it checked out in case the pain doesn't go away. You wouldn't want to be feeling like this forever.

*huge hug*

And just so you know, I just went to ITunes and bought a bunch of Imogen Heap songs and that's entirely your fault. I love "The Moment I Said It". I have to say though that I wished I could get the live version of "Just For Now" from this video somewhere because I like it so much better than the album version.

Tee hee ... is that blonde Emily in your icon? I can tell those eyes/that smile anywhere! (Obsessive much?). Thanks for the kind words and hug - as with most muscular-type injuries, it's getting worse as the day goes on. This morning it just hurt to move, and now it hurts to be upright. Sooo ... I'm lying down, watching the House DVDs I got from the library, and taking it easy.

You are very welcome for the gift that is Imogen Heap. She's amazing, isn't she? And yeah, that live version of JFN is awesome. Awesome. She's such a creative being, the way she uses her voice, and overlaps and loops things AS she's performing. A-ma-zing, I tell you. "The Moment I Said It" is grand too. Another song I just heard this weekend, and fell in love with was "Angry Angel". It's more of a rock-out song. Also, Frou Frou (which was her band)'s version of "Holding Out for a Hero". Good stuff!

It is blonde Emily! *lol* I just found this and a couple other icons today and loved them right away. I'd never seen her with blonde hair before but I think it really suits her. She is so pretty...

Taking it easy is probably a good idea when you're in so much pain. I really hope you'll be better soon but seeing as you've already consulted the coolest of all doctors I'm not to worried. ;0)

"The Moment I Said It" probably was the first Imogen Heap song I ever heard and a half-naked Danny Tidwell dancing to it made it so much more awesome when it already is. *giggles and fangirls Danny*

Btw, in the meantime I've figured out a way to rip the audio from Just For Now video. So, if you want the song I could send it to you. Just let me know. *hugs*

*sigh* If only the REAL Dr. House were here with me. *double sigh*. But for now the pining-after-Stacy House will have to do.

Emily = &hearts and beauty. 'Nuff said.

Danny Tidwell? I've no idea, but if he was half naked, and dancing around to Imogen, then that's enough for me! LOL.

Ooh, you found a way to rip the audio? Really? Ooh yes, may I please have a copy? I was just playing it in the background as I did other things, and I swear you'd have no idea she was alone with a keyboard and other mechanical gear, doing it all at that very moment. It totally sounds like she's in a studio, with stuff already pre-mixed and backup singers and the like. Amazing.

Ouch! I feel in pain just reading about that. Hope it's not TOO bad, and that you feel better soon. *mucho hugs*

Thanks, Will! I'm feeling worse, but I know that it will get better. I'm lying on a heat pillow thingy right now, and it's helping a bit!

That's it lie down, relax and watch some topless TJ Bones.

OOh, Topless TJBones. Haven't watched that for a while, and you know - after my House fix, I just might have to revisit the S1 Bones DVD fix! (As, in less than 1 week I'll have the S2 DVDs to squee over).

OWWWW...see, my fear of falling like that is one of the reasons I refuse to be towed behind a boat on anything, even a tube - forget trying to balance on skis!

At least the rest of it was fun, right? And your bunnies must have had a nice time.

It WAS fun, which is the sick part. Even falling. It was wild, and I literally fell straight forward, with my face coming in contact with the water. Ouch. But it was wild, and I love skiing, even though you do sometimes take spills like this. Tubing is great too, though with that you often get thrown off, and not so much falling forward...

Aww... Poor Berly! I hope you feel better very soon!! Here's another virtual hug, because I'm sure a real hug would hurt right now. :o)

Those songs are cool. I specially like Regina's (nothing fin-ah! J/K)song. I've heard it before. Maybe from Grey's?

And while you are reading, I have a place that we must, must, must go to one day. It's a martini bar in Osborne Village, and it's great! They've got dozens of yummy martinis there. G Martini's. You know, for when we feel like being grownups.

P.S. Count me in for the TFR, as usual. :o)

Thanks for the virtual hug - those are probably the best right now!

Regina's (and it's actually Re-gina, and not Reg-eye-nah, like Cheri joked about that lovely little Canuck town!) songs are awesomeness. She's so freaking talented, and the same as us (which still blows my mind!). I'm sure her stuff has been on something, too, as Samson seemed really recognizable. Maybe Grey's. Lots of stuff has been on Grey's.

Grownups? Really? Do we have to? Awww.... Kidding. Yeah, that sounds good. But remember, you have to remind me NOT to drink it like Kool-Aid, okay? Because last time I drank (at your place) I felt really dizzy and unwell. :(
