Recap That Noise: Vampire Diaries, 3.08 Ordinary People
Elena and Ric enter the Lockwood cellar, discussing the cave drawings that he found. Damon sneaks up behind Elena and whispers her name, giving her a little scare. He explains that he can’t go any further into the tunnels, thanks to the Lockwood’s ancient hatred of vampires. Elena and Ric enter the cave and Ric […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 30
Day 30- A song that reminds you of yourself “I Wanna Sex You Up” / Color Me Badd (1991) Because obviously.
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 29
Day 29- A song that you remember from your childhood “Poison” / Bell Biv DeVoe (1990) This one was really tricky because I associate so much music with my childhood. I blame my mom. Not only was there an abundance of New Jack Swing (which is pretty much the best musical genre ever invented), but […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 28
Day 28- A song by an artist with a voice that you love “Man Who Sold the World” / David Bowie (1970) I am always amazed when people haven’t heard “The Man Who Sold the World”. I recently found out that this group included Bestie, Boyfriend and my favorite ginger (MFG). I almost died of […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 27
Day 27- A song that breaks your heart “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” / Al Green (1972) This freaking song. I love it because it’s so tragic. The first time I heard it was on the The Virgin Suicides soundtrack. It plays during a scene where Josh Hartnett’s character is depressed, unsure how […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 26
Day 26- A song that makes you want to fall in love “I Only Have Eyes for You” / The Flamingos (1959) This one is easy. “I Only Have Eyes for You” is just about the most romantic song in the entire world. It’s very simple (the words short and sweet come to mind) but […]
Little Things
In life it’s important to remember the little things that make you happy.
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 25
Day 25- A song by an artist no longer living “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” / Otis Redding (1965) I’ve spoken before briefly about my love of Otis Redding and everything he sang; he’s one of the first things I ever wrote about on this blog. “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” is my […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 24
Day 24- A song by a band you wish were still together “Hello Operator” / The White Stripes (2000) I’ve recently been into listening to The White Stripes. I know that they are broken up and won’t be producing anything new, but I have an entire back catalog to explore and enjoy. One of favorite […]
Recap That Noise: Vampire Diaries, 3.07 Ghost World
Damon is tied to a chair in his living room with a fire iron sticking out of his chest. His daylight ring is on the ground and Mason is watching him. Stefan enters the room and Damon accuses him of being responsible for what is happening, calling it a “ripper game”. Stefan swears it wasn’t […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 23
Day 23- A song you think everybody should listen to “Boys Don’t Cry” / The Cure (1979) I am a HUGE fan of The Cure in general. I know that it makes me sound like a huge goth poseur to say it, but it’s the straight up truth. The Cure is one of the only […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 22
Day 22- A song that moves you forward “Macho Man” / Village People (1978) This is super embarrassing, but there is no song that gets me more pumped and motivated for the day than “Macho Man”. I like to blame Joss Whedon for this. “Witch”, the third episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, features a […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 21
Day 21- A favorite song with a person’s name in the title “Maggie May” / Rod Stewart (1971) I’d like to preface this post by saying that I mostly hate this song. Honestly, how could I not given that EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD feels inclined to sing it to me when I tell […]
Recap That Noise: Vampire Diaries, 3.06 Smells Like Teen Spirit
Elena is wide awake at 5AM when her alarm goes off. That sucks. She moves toward her bedroom mirror and examines a bite mark on her neck. She covers it with makeup before leaving her room, running into a very sleepy/possibly hungover Alaric. The action has moved to the woods where Ric is teaching Elena […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 20
Day 20- A song that has meaning to you “Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia)” / Patrick Stump (2011) This song was my jam last summer. I would blast it as loud as I could and sing my little heart out. Then I would rinse and repeat as needed. It was often needed. May marked the end of […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 19
Day 19- A song that makes you think about life “I Hope Tomorrow Is Like Today” / Guster The lyrics are very simple but carry a lot of meaning. I think that’s one of the things that makes the song so special. I view the song as both happy and sad. I interpret the song […]
Recap That Noise: Vampire Diaries, 3.05 The Reckoning
Matt is training at the very empty Mystic Falls High School when he hears a noise. So naturally he goes to investigate. Silly Matt, NEVER INVESTIGATE. He wanders around the empty hallways, eventually entering a darkened classroom. He is startled when what seems like hundreds of mouse traps are set off, pinging all over the […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 18
Day 18- A song from the year that you were born “The Final Countdown” / Europe (1986) There is no other song released in 1986 as amazing as “The Final Countdown”. I don’t care what VH1 and their stupid countdown of worst songs has to say. Have they ever heard this piece of magic? It […]
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 17
Day 17- A song that you would sing as a duet on karaoke “Islands in the Stream” / Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton (1983) I genuinely hope that I get to sing this song as a duet one day. But only if I can sing it with Bestie. We’ve given many impromptu performances but nothing […]
Recap That Noise: Vampire Diaries, 3.04 Disturbing Behavior
Klaus and Stefan are sitting in a clothing store in Chicago waiting for Rebekah who is trying on clothes. She makes a lot of the same remarks I do while shopping (e.g. the lack of cloth in today’s clothing). She’s also not a fan of today’s music, saying it sounds like a cable car accident. […]
