MUSIC: Man, Do You Move Me.

My friend didn't want to go alone to go buy LP's the other evening and I even told him buying music is a very alone thing to do ---but alas, he dragged me out and we went to AMOEBA MUSIC in Hollywood --- a music lover's wet dream. This place has EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. New music. Used music. Dusty ol' LP crates that make your fingers gray after flippin' thru half a crate. Foreign movies. Bargain DVD's. And Winamp listening stations. Anyways... we were there for about 2 hours I'd say.... my friend left with prolly $200 of LP's and I left buying the ALFIE SOUNDTRACK (don't hate, it's produced my Mick Jagger -- how wimpy could it be?), Joss Stone Soul Sessions (she's flippin awesome ...at age 17!) and Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone (Yo-Yo plays the cello and Morricone is a magnificent movie composer and this cd is unbelievable).

Anyways, I know I've written blogs-a-many about music or lyrics, but, for the love of god, music is incredible with its powers to move a person emotionally and change a crap day into a good day. And it's quite lovely how my fav instruments -- piano, guitar and violin can combine to make heaven: heaven also = vanilla bean cheesecake as well.

Anyways, music is heaven and I have an insatiable appetite for good music...foood...and foood..and my choice of movies and tv. So crank up the 5.1 surround, jump your bottom onto the couch, make a permanent indentation, pop open a bottle of wine, whip up some good grub and sit back...cuz this is undoubtfully.... La Dolce Vita.

Ok, Ladies, Wake Up, "MOVE ON!"

In light of the recent hysteria occuring over the book, "He's Just Not Into You," I'd like to provide a funny and insightful nutshell link about the author and the book found on cnn.com: http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/books/11/29/books.hes.not.into.you.ap/index.html

A lil vignette follows for you to get you to want to read the article or book...(i haven't read the book, fyi, cuz basically, the message is very succinct. If he really wanted to date you, he'd show it, therefore, if he isn't, MOVE THE HELL ON. He's chopped liver.)

*He's Just Not THat Into You if ... He's Not Calling You. ( With the advent of cell phones and speed dials it's almost impossible not to call you. Seomtimes you can eve call people from your pant pockets when you don't even mean to.)

*He's Just Not That Into You if... He's Not Asking You Out. (Sadly, not wanting to see you in person is massive as far as dating obstacles go.)

And remember, "One simple rule, ladies, always be classy. Never be crazy. It will ensure that you never have that awful memory of cutting his clothes in half or leaving his dog by the side of the road."

Wake up and smell the coffee, this goes for the gentlemen out there too. She's Just Not That Into You.
