Butchy Goodness!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Butch Walker yet, even though I’ve pimped him dozens of times over the years, I highly suggest you give him a listen. His acoustic sets are freaking amazing, so if you ever happen to have a chance to see him live, please do. You will not regret one single second of it. I promise.

Please note that the songs I’ve chosen are pretty much all ballads. He has some really great up-tempo stuff too, but I thought I’d make a play for your heartstrings and showcase these this go round. Now on to the music…

Stateline
This song always either makes me cry or brings me to the verge of tears. I’ve seen it bring an entire room full of people to tears including Butch himself. You can see for yourself how emotional he gets when he’s singing it.

Joan
This song makes me a little emotional as well. I blame this on him because he sings it with that raw emotion that he sings Stateline with.

this is the sweetest little song

I polished off OTH S3 a few days ago and really, really need S4 to arrive in my mailbox soon.

I finally watched The Sarah Connor Chronicles S1 recently and it was really good. Lena Headey bores me greatly, but I will continue to give her a chance. Other actors have grown on me over time, so she might grow on me too.

Butch Walker has a new CD out. Check out some samples here and then go forth and purchase it.

Aidan and I went to see Changeling last weekend. It was his idea that we go see it, which surprised me because he’s usually more of a cheesy horror movie nut. We both thought it was a really well made and well acted on all parts, especially by Angie and Jason Butler Harner who played Gordon Northcott. I hadn’t realized how skinny Angie was during that time, but she was just skin and bones. It worked in her favor though because it added an extra layer of fragility to her character and all that she went through. Jason was just too creepy for words. (WARNING: The rest of this entry contains some slight spoilers regarding Jason’s character and how some of the scenes were filmed.) Continue reading →

So Alive

I haven’t felt much like blogging lately, as you all may have noticed from my complete and utter lack of blogging. Let’s see if I can fill you in on everything now…

Darie got married this past weekend and it was so much fun. She looked amazing and I hope to have photos available soon. :D

Site Pimpage: Sophia Web is now open. There is a ton of gallery work left to do, as well as the video archive to build, which is going to take many months to complete, but it’s in pretty good shape as it is. I am in love with the layout as well, which was made by the awesome Dora.

My spider bite has healed nicely, but I do have a scar. It’s getting lighter though, so hopefully it’ll be completely gone within the next few months.

The only fall TV that I’m loving right now is Pushing Daisies, Supernatural (S3 is really strong), FNL (I choose to pretend that 1 storyline is not really happening), The Office and Chuck. I’m actually a couple of eps behind on The Office and Chuck, but will catch up soon because they are so much fun.

I hate the song ‘Hey There Delilah’ by The Plain White Ts. I don’t really know why I hate it so much though. It’s mellow and I like mellow and the singer has a nice enough voice, but I just can’t stand it. Blech!

On the good music front, I’m completely addicted to Ryan Adams’ Easy Tiger CD. It’s sooo good. Come to think of it, I’m actually kind of addicted to all things Ryan Adams right now. I know he’s supposed to be a total douche in real life, but he is one incredibly talented musician and therefore I am choosing to overlook that fact for the sake of good tunes.

I know there’s more, but that’s all I have for now.
