Boohead

"Warning Sign" - Coldplay


So I bit first. So what? I give myself credit for doing so. It took a lot in me to hear the ringing on the other end (even if at first that's the only thing I heard). You trip me out. I said give me a sign. A simple "hello" or even an "I'm still reading" would've been enough, but you're much too clever for that. You had to take it there. Ya, I know there was no hidden agenda behind your one-liner. Of course I know...

It's just the lyrics are so fitting, ya know? And even though I haven't been able to stomach Coldplay for a while for very obvious reasons, I sat and listened to this entire song and it made me want to reach out to you. I blame the music. I forgot how beautiful this song was. I blame them. His voice is so overwhelming and powerful it makes my heart remember how to beat. I blame you. But not necessarily in a bad way.

I find it funny that we still call each other pet names when we talk ever-so-casually on the phone. I found it natural to tell you the things I just said I wasn't ready to do yesterday...but I guess that was yesterday. We played catch up and talked like old friends and surprisingly, not a single tear fell from my eyes. It helps to pretend that I'm just far away, travelling or something.

Oh! By the way, I forgot to mention one small and silly detail about my time serving on a jury panel. I'm Juror #8 and the last two #'s on my ID badge (which is what they ask us to memorize) is #88. Ya, I thought you'd get a kick out of that. I sure did.

Until next time, 888 Boohead.

Lyrics:

A warning sign,
I missed the good part then I realized,
I started looking and the bubble burst.
I started looking for excuses.

Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.

A warning sign,
You came back to haunt me and I realized
you were an island and I passed you by,
You were an island to discover.

Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.

And I'm tired,
I should not have let you go.

So I crawl back into your open arms.
Yes, I crawl back into your open arms.
And I crawl back into your open arms.
Yes, I crawl back into your open
arms...

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...

If You're A Nerd, I'm A Nerd.

"Revenge of the Nerds" Theme Music Some things will never grow old with me. This classic 80's film is one of them. It always makes me want to root for the underdog! It's a bit raunchy and definitely dated, but I love it. I love how they find a runned down ol' house and fix it up to look as good as new. I love how they pour liquid heat over the "jockstrap salad" and invade the Pies. I love how Gilbert makes a move on Judy through computer animation and cheers her on no matter how terrible she sounds playing the accordion. "So I say I gotta be free. So I say I gotta be me." - Judy (Michelle Meyrink) I love the yellow tricycle. Takashi you're my hero! I love how the Lambdas barricade the stage in the end to give Gilbert a chance to speak up. But most of all, I love the talent show! It doesn't matter that I own this movie on DVD, I still watch it whenever it pops up on TV. It's just one of those things you can't bring yourself to ch...
