swoonsday

Today's swoonsday hunk has come a long way from 'The New Mickey Mouse Club.' Ryan Gosling has built quite the solid career for himself, and his latest flick, 'Blue Valentine,' co-starring Michelle Williams, looks to be pretty awesome. Enjoy.

Oh man. I am really bad at keeping up with this lately. It's my Thanksgiving promise to me to get back on track with this thing. In the meantime, here's my pick for this week's tunesday: Arcade Fire's 'Rococo.' Beautiful.

This week's tunesday pick is from a band that's gained popularity in recent months, and have released a new album. Kings of Leon's new release, 'Come Around Sundown,' has that gritty, southern sound I've come to love about Kings, and I really like what I've heard so far. Here's their first single, Radioactive. 

if i can make it there...

Well. It's official. Around January 5th-ish, I will be officially a New Yorker :) I landed a pretty fab internship, and am ecstatic about all of it. I am beyond ready to be an unpaid fabric gopher/coffee grunt/fashion slave, and while I know its not going to be glamourous, and probably a lot of really hard work, I can't wait to get there and have it all begin...

[but, really. does anyone need a roomie? or know someone who does? send 'em my way ;) ] <3

Oh, GQ, you never fail to give me plenty of well dressed eye candy. This week's swoonsday is Matt Bomer, star of 'White Collar,' and formerly of soaps featuring some lovely henleys. Enjoy.

This week's tunesday pick comes from an artist who is also an actor. Jason Schwartzman is no stranger to the screen, nor to music, being the original drummer from Phantom Planet. His solo effort, Coconut Records is perfect "Saturday morning, grab some coffee and a book and sit on the porch in the sun" kind of music.  His song "Summer Day" was used in some Apple commercials, and features Kirsten Dunst on guest vocals. 

Thanks to my sister for telling me to dl their CDs when I was looking for new tunes.<3

*This is not the official video for "Wires," but it was the best I could find :)
