what's been in my head the past few days.

edit:
taking out my stupid rants and growls for this...another song that's been in my head:

i really like Julian Casablancas' voice. and his facebodyetc. i actually know someone who looks quite a lot like him. i feel like a lot of my friends look like famous people...is that weird?

my one complaint about the breakfast club is the coupling that happens at the end.
i can kind of understand andrew and allison pairing up, because we see that they bond over their parent issues and you can see them sticking up for one another throughout the movie. plus, allison gets a makeover and is now conventionally pretty so andrew's all up on it.
but bender and claire? what? he's literally such a dick to her the whole time. you can tell that he's attracted to her and wants her attention and she kind of digs his bad boy attitude, but still, he just makes her cry and insults her nonstop. i dunno, maybe it's just me, but i've seen this movie probably close to 40 times, and i have yet to witness the moment they fall for each other...
that being said though...i'm still insanely attracted to john bender.

john bender

it's that time again.

tea.
knit.
breakfast club.

sounds like a good sunday evening to me.

knitting, i'm doing it.

life goal 273, part 1: teach myself how to knit. check.
life goal 273, part 2: knit a scarf. working on it.

(in that picture my left eye looks brown while my right eye looks blue. hmm.
also, never mind my mop top, it's sunday, i'm allowed to look messy)

oh my darlin

hmm. i had no idea "Oh my darling, Clementine" was about this:

In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty niner,
And his daughter Clementine

Oh my darling, Oh my darlin,
Oh my darling Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Wearing boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

She drove ducklings to the water
Ev’ry morning just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.

How I missed her! How I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
But I kissed her little sister,
I forgot my Clementine.

Then the miner, forty niner
Soon began to peak and pine
Thought he ought to join his daughter
Now he's with his Clementine

In a churchyard near the canyon
Where the myrtle doth entwine
There grows roses and the posies
Fertilized by Clementine

In my dreams she still doth haunt me
Robed in garments, soaked in brine
Then she rises from the waters
And I kiss my Clementine


now that i know the full lyrics to this song, the name choice for kate winslet's character in eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is much more significant. (and no, i don't think it is a coincidence, because they make reference to the song in the film). i really like that.

like a stamp to a letter

listening to this on repeat today. such a cheery lovely song.

now off to work i go.

i've been having strange feelings lately.
