Please forgive me in advance for this slightly random post. First off I must show off my latest purchase from Ebay. Remember when I said that my computer broke? Well have no fear Ebay is here!- With used macs!
I got this G4 for $242 including shipping-and I got it the next day! I am so stoked about it. This is a pic of my new comp from the ebay posting. It runs great. I still have to see about getting all of my music transfered on it--I don't have everything backed up --oops. Oddly enough on my computers final day I backed up all my pictures- thank god.
Okay to totally change subjects I must confess my major-ly geeky fan-crush on Maggie Gyllenhall.
Not only do I think she is beautiful,she is hugely talented and she has great style to boot. I wish I could have a career like hers, I love how she has done so many interesting indie films. I don't know if I am quite as hard core as she is--I would say my dream would be to do work along the lines of Maggie and Rachel McAdams crossed. I like Rachel's career because it has a little comedy and sappy romance mixed in.
Another artist I absolutely adore is Fiona Apple. I find her so engaging and sincere. I love her music, it is brilliantly articulate. I love how great writers and lyricists can pare down things that are seemingly indescribable into the most imaginative and concise little packages. It is such a gift to reveal the absolute beauty and perfection in even the most "mundane" and infuriating moments. Oh and one more reason I love Fiona--She's a vegan. I definitely feel a connection
to anyone who shares such a deep concern and compassion for animals. Oh okay and one more thing on miss Fiona-I finally watched her acceptance speech at the MTV music awards-that she got so much heat for ,and I totally knew what she was saying - I think that she could have said it a bit more effectively perhaps but she was 19 and in front of millions of people. I think anyone with the courage to stand up for what they really believe should be applauded.
Honestly there are soooo many amazing artists sharing there gifts with the world that I feel endlessly inspired and touched by. These are just two performing artists I had to mention because i never have and I am so appreciative of there work.
Well That is all I have to say for now. I am going to make some shop updates as soon as possible. I have some new things that I am very excited about. Have an awesome day!
If you have a moment I would love to hear what artists most inspire you!
