10 Things I Like (February)

This phrase/trend

I really like the history behind the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' signs and I enjoy all the play on words with them (my favorite is 'Keep Calm there's money in the Banana Stand. I definitely want this on a shirt!

This CD

Santigold has sicker beats than Lady Gaga and she's got a fun mix of people on her CD. I like to listen to it when I run and in the car. There's something almost foreign, yet serious about her. Her sound is unique and I'm really looking forward to her new CD in April.

This food

A lot of my friends like Yagoot and now I know what the fuss is about! It's delicious yogurt with fun toppings. My favorite combo is the plain with bananas, blueberries and strawberries. You can get nuts, candies and loads of other things that aren't just yogurt.


This website

A lot of people say Netflix is on it's way out because of Redbox, but I beg to differ. Netflix has an amazing selection and they're getting better about the speed of their deliveries. There also have great things on Netflix Instant and I use it in the classroom to show clips fom movies.


This cool item
SkinIt is a really cool website that makes skins for iPods, computers, cellphones and loads more. You can get a SkinIt that's already made, or make one of your own! I have a Xaiver SkinIt and love it. It's somewhat expensive, but totally worth it.

This book

This part memoir/part information guide by Stephen King is very unique and incredibly entertaining to read. King is funny and witty and informative. His story on becoming an author is fascinating. I truly take all his writing advice to heart.


This TV show


The First Generation will always have a special place in my heart, but I am really enjoying the Series 4, which is the last series with the Second Generation. It took me some time to warm up to them, but the past few episodes have been a breath of fresh air and I'm obsessed.

This song



It's catchy and melodic and I really enjoy all the other stuff by The Dodos. It's a short song, but sweet nonetheless.

This actor


Oh goodness, Logan Lerman. Well, as I mentioned in my previous secret shame I find this young man to be incredibly attractive. His dark hair and blue eyes are just the beginning, too. He's very polite and charming and a good actor. Catch him in '3:10 to Yuma' and 'My One and Only'.

Lines from this movie

This movie is hilarious. It's funnier than 'The Hangover,' in my opinion. Please rent it!

Judy: Your swearing does not impress me. My husband works for Tower Hamlets and believe me those kids make you sound like... Angela Lansbury!
Malcolm Tucker: [to Simon] She's married? Poor bastard.

Malcolm Tucker: "Climbing the mountain of conflict"? You sounded like a Nazi Julie Andrews!

Judy: You know they're all kids in Washington? It's like Bugsy Malone, but with real guns.

Linton Barwick: I can't stand to see a woman bleed from the mouth. It reminds me of that Country & Western music which I cannot abide.

Simon Foster: It'll be easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.
Toby Wright: No, it won't. It'll be difficult-difficult-lemon-difficult.

Malcolm Tucker: You, hey, put the snifter out there that if the BBC ambushes a minister with another surprise question about the war, I'll drop a bomb on them.
Judy: I can't do that, can I? That's political.
Malcolm Tucker: Does that not fit within your purview, Marie Antoinette? Why don't you just scuttle off back to fucking Cranford and play around with your tea and your cakes and your fucking horse cocks. Let them eat cock!
[to Toby]
Malcolm Tucker: Hey, you! Ron Weasley, you do it.
