Big Black Books

"Eyes on Fire" - Blue Foundation

I'm going to do yet another something I've never done before. This is becoming a trend-setter for me, I know. I love feeling motivated no matter how small it may seem to others, because anything I haven't done is something huge to me. So, what is this new found goal I've set for myself?

I'm going to read these four, famous, big, thick, black books in a row.


Books with no pictures in them and not because I miss writing book reports. This is for me. I write what I want, remember? I just figured that since this is the year of doing NEW things and finding my so-called niche if you will, well hey a writer is supposed to read right? Alright, so let this writer take it seriously for a change. Let me expose myself to an accomplished piece of literature.

Maybe you're wondering, "Why of all series to choose from, did she pick this?" To be honest, I didn't. But I have to admit, something happened mid-month that sparked in interest in me somehow to watch these films all over again. Maybe I was itching for a chic flick and exhausted all of mine. I don't know. I really can't explain it. No, I didn't have a dream about vampires and werewolves. Zombies, of course...but that didn't inspire all of this either. I guess I knew every guy I've loved or may love will NEVER admit to loving any of this and this is fascinating to me. Do they feel threatened? Probably not. Actually, I'm pretty certain it's revolting to them. But I don't think of them at all when I'm involved in it so I guess that's the point of the whole thing. I watch (and hopefully will soon read) a fantasy that pulls me away from my own relationships.

Oh and something about the rainy, Seattle weather is calling out for me to go to it. But since I'm travelling slowly, I thought, "Hmmmm, maybe I'll run away through movies and books before I decide to trek out so far again in real life." So, think of this as my own personal adventure. I'll need something to do for 6 whole nights alone in a familiar city. Don't worry, Dear Blog. I'm definitely taking you with me.

Lyrics:

I'll seek you out
Flay you alive
One more word and you won't survive
And I'm not scared
Of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour

I won't soothe your pain
I won't ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain

I'm taking it slow
Feeding my flame
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time
In the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace

I won't soothe your pain
I won't ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain

Eyes on fire
Your spine is ablaze
Felling any foe with my gaze
And just in time
In the right place
Steadily emerging with grace

Ahh, felling any foe with my gaze
Ahh, steadily emerging with grace
Ahh, felling any foe with my gaze
Ahh, steadily emerging with grace

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl...

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w...

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.
