In desperate need of structure

So as you can see, I have been superbad at posting here lately (or for the past month?), so I really need to make some kind of plan. As in "Once a week, I'll post one of each of these: a food item, a music video, and a makeup look, and then whatever else I happen to care about." So maybe that's what I'll do. It will at least keep things interesting.

I have my Chanel exam today at work, which ought to be good. It takes 3 hours, I'm told, and it's EXHAUSTIVE. I'm not really nervous. Oh, I guess I never posted anything about Chanel school. Well, it was awesome! I won seven prizes in the three days, plus we each got a gift bag at the end with some products.

I saw Prince Caspian on Saturday night, and it was excellent. I can't think of any particular criticism. I've heard people complain about some additions to the screenplay that weren't in the book, but as a lover of C.S. Lewis's series, I have to say I don't have any gripes. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is expected to come out in 2010, so I can't wait to see that one, as it's one of my favorite books!

So the other day I was reading Spin and I discovered that Scarlett Johansson has an album out called Anywhere I Lay My Head-- it's all Tom Waits covers. I listened to the 30-second previews that iTunes offers, though I was skeptical. Although I felt her vocals left a bit to be desired, the arrangements were good-- very dreamy. Good sonic backdrop to a philosophical discussion!

I have bought some music lately that is just great. Stars is a new discovery; I'll leave you with an excellent and beautiful song/video that kind of reminds me of Eternal Sunshine because of the whole lying on the ice thing. Enjoy!
