a bit of wednesday afternoon randomness 2

[happy canada day!]

just some random thoughts that, on their own, aren't quite enough for a post but together...well - together you have a bit of wednesday afternoon randomness.

• while i don't think the movie the island [starring ewan mcgregor and scarlett johansson] did particularly well at the box office i really enjoy it...despite the fact that it kinda scares the crap out of me because i can totally envision something like that happening in the not so distant future. actually i think that's precisely why i like the movie. twisted.
• i really want to go to cuba in august. must get some cash together.
• i kinda have a bit of a crush on him. seriously, i don't get hollywood crushes easily and the ones i do have are long-standing crushes but...everytime i see this guy in an interview he just seems so modest and humble...and funny. 3 traits i admire in people.
• since i got my haircut i've been into wearing fun nail polish colours. next up on my to buy list is russian navy - a really great dark blue with a hint of shimmer. any suggestions?
• lately, while walking howard, i've been trying to decide what my top 5 favourite books are. the ones that have meant the most to me for whatever reason and that i've enjoyed. so far i can only come up with 3. roots by alex haley, who will cry when you die by robin sharma, and the alchemist by paulo coelho. i think, i THINK #4 may be a thousand splendid suns by khaled hosseini. and #5 MAY be song of solomon by toni morrison [i read this when i was really young and remember enjoying it...but i'll have to read it again to be sure.] don't ask me why i'm so keen to note my favourite 5. maybe i want to be ready for when oprah's magazine calls.
• despite the fact that i will likely be going overseas by the years end i've decided it's time to look for a job [the cash flow is gettin' kinda low if you know what i mean]. i've applied for a few jobs in my field, good jobs [some are pretty exciting], that i'm totally qualified for and have yet to get a call back. i'm a bit frustrated, actually a lot frustrated to be honest, as to why i haven't gotten a call back. i'm 100% qualified and i write a pretty mean resume and cover letter if i do say so myself. i keep telling myself that because of this horrendous economic time there must be hundreds of applicants...but still...

• i want 2 new tattoo's. i already have 3. all of them have meaning to me and it takes me a long time to decide exactly what i want then i take months to make sure i can commit to it and to decide on placement. i'm 100% certain of what i want and 97% certain of placement. hopefully both will come before the end of summer. i also love this particular tattoo as seen on angelina jolie. i'd like to use it to symbolize something different but will have to give it more thought...or perhaps i'll save it & use it for when i have kids.
• i really love my hair cut. no regrets.
• i'd really love to take howard on a trip to seattle so i can have this talented photographer take his pictures. by far the BEST pet photographer i've ever come across. i've never seen pet portraits that i really like but these...they're freakin' amazing [and so is howard. so, you know...] i DARE you to take a look and not want to get your pet photographed too. [she also has a blog. you will fall in love.]
• i'm trying, when i remember, to work on my posture. any tips?
• a part of me wants to try revitalash but know i won't because i'm afraid of having an allergic or negative reaction. i have watery eyes in general and am always rubbing them and stuff so it's probably not the best idea to put some foreign substance on my lashes.
• i'm still loving this song.

• oh how i wish lauryn hill would make a come back. i can't hear this song or this song and NOT get chills and sing at the top of my lungs.
• i really want to bake cupcakes but keep putting it off. must. buy. ingredients. this. week.

i think that's it for now. feel free to share your thoughts on my random thoughts :)
