week.
i am going to go ahead and make this a post about the highs and lows of my week. why? because i have a feeling i am going to have a pretty chill/uneventful weekend.
highlights!
1. scrabble. i was seriously craving a good game - and got one, outside on the starbucks patio (so nice, even though it was a bit more windy than i would have liked). it was a close game, but my opponent pulled ahead right at the end by hitting a triple word score (really close... the entire game we were within approximately 6 points of each other).
2. picnics. picnics are always great. bocce ball? yes. delicious foods (examples=the best pasta salad, brie, an assortment of dips, mango)? yes. sweet friends? yes. hilarious/drunken party games? yes. perfect.
3. just the fact that it feels completely like summertime now. sunshine, warm weather, being outside, summer music... everything feels happier in the summer.
downfalls :(
1. mosquitos and spiders (while picnicking). my enemy... well, really, they weren't too bad. i only encountered one spider, and only got one mosquito bite.
2. full-size crave cupcakes. bad idea. i need to remember to always stick with minis.
3. i am having trouble coming up with a number three (even one and two aren't even really bad). i had a pretty excellent week. oh, cutting mango! so difficult! it was too complicated for me, and i was unprepared... but it was so worth it in the end. i love mango.
love keiko.
p.s. i have an honourable mention for my highlights! people rarely ever make me mix cds, and i love mixes (i love making them for people, and i love receiving them even more... hint hint). anyway, someone made me a pretty sweet mix (of basically all songs i've never heard) this week, which is pretty rad.

i love you man.
okay...so i saw star trek last week and it was not bad.
i went in with no expectations.
and like the novelty it is...it was pretty funny.
anyways im not going to do a movie review.
however i saw this picture of zachary quinto on justjared.
and it made my day...its so cute!
when was the last time you saw an actor just hoola hooping outside?
well this in turn made me go watch some youtube videos of the star.
which furthermore lead me to a grand discovery.
the zachary quinto & chris pine bromance.
those two are adorable in their interviews together.
therefore bromances are adorable.
this reminds me: i really want to see i love you, man.
i wanted to make a list.
so i listed some bromances.
just ones i could think of randomly.
george clooney & brad pitt
matt damon & ben affleck
chase crawfrod & ed westwick
paul rudd & jason segal & jonah hill & seth rogen...
gael garcia bernal & diego luna

i am really in the mood for a nice game of scrabble. someone play me, please.
anytime, anyplace - i've got travel scrabble on hand.
love keiko.
p.s. play scrabble with me and i'll love you forever.
remember what you told me.
goals reached? 1/3. fail. the picnic prep was the most important, and i completed that goal.
anyway. i really want to post a video of calendar girl (live, with all of the flowers)... but all the youtube videos of it are horrible. sad. i want to post it because:
1) it is beautiful (especially with the all of the flowers).
2) kaur posted about how anthems makes her sad, and calendar girl makes me feel sad. i really, really, really love this song... it just makes my heart ache.
that's all.
love keiko.
tony horton brought it.
i want this sooooooo bad!
the p90x.
it may be off an infomercial, but its legit.
i think im gonna go get it this week.

keiko had once mentioned that anthems for a seventeen year old girl by broken social scene makes me cry.
she's right...well not cry per say, but its hard for me to listen to.
not totally sure why.
i listened to it in full for the first time in months today.
here's the video...

you got a beautiful taste.
glycerine by bush is one of my favourite songs.
its just so perfect.
and for some reason makes me want to cry.
i was listening to this the other night.
and i remembered this performance:
the rest of the band went offstage.
and gavin rossdale stays and sings in the rain.
gorgeous.
i'll never forget the first time i saw this.
not sure why.
its just so beautiful in its own way.
i dont know if you'll agree.

cupcake.
one thing better than mini cupcakes = free mini cupcake. and sunshine, lots of sunshine.
love keiko.
my week in lists.
the weather has finally picked up, and it feels great!! good weather can really turn a person's mood around. too bad i have failed to find something to do today (yet). so, i am going to make a list of highlights from my week.
1. cupcakes! whenever i hit up crave, i get a half dozen mini cupcakes, and eat one, and then my family devours the rest. this time i left on a note on the top of the box that read "DO NOT EAT ALL OF MY CUPCAKES!!!" - and not a single one was eaten without my permission, it was nice.
2. bowling! i seriously love bowling. i am more of a wii bowler than a real life bowler, but bowling is still always a great time (as long as it is 10 pin). i prefer wii bowling because i am really good at it, and am not so good at real life bowling.
3. catching up with friends.
downfalls of the week?
1. the ridiculous admission price at the zoo.
2. getting all dressed up for a night out to a movie (the movie was great) and then to hifi. only to wait in line for an hour, because shitty (not even well-dressed/trendy) boys cut in line - we gave up on that and went home.
3. the bad mid-week weather.
here's to having a fantastic week ahead.
love keiko.

1. i'm happy but you don't like me - asobi seksu
2. part one - band of horses
3. colourful life - cajun dance party
4. soft shock - yeah yeah yeahs
5. set yourself on fire - stars (montag mix)

it's blitz.
where do i want to be right now??? sasquatch music festival. i was pretty disappointed when i couldn't find anyone to go with (and when i failed to renew my passport in time - i even filled out the form, and got a shitty photo taken, i just have yet to send it in).
why do i want to be a sasquatch? here is a list: yeah yeah yeahs, animal collective, bon iver, devotchka, m. ward, ra ra riot, passion pit, mos def, the avett brothers, of montreal, m83, fleet foxes, gogol bordello, santigold, grizzly bear, blitzen trapper, bishop allen. + a lot more, that i am not too familiar with. + camping, and so much fun.

lily rhodes
i just want to say that i am excited that the gossip girl spinoff is happening. why? because i love brittany snow, and in the valley girls episode i was actually really into lily's life in the 80's.
anyway, brittany snow. i love american dreams! i love hairspray! ... and yeah, i kind of loved john tucker must die (movies like that = guilty pleasure, for sure). so i have high hopes for the spinoff!

faves!
i am a big fan of cupcakes. i think i have mentioned this before.
one thing that will ruin my day everytime = going to crave cupcakes, and it being closed because they've run out for the day. ugh. this happens to me quite often. kaur and i are planning on getting cupcakes tomorrow (sunday was a failure for us, crave was closed. also, tuesday was a failure for me, crave was closed). so, crave, you better be open for me tomorrow.
my number one favourite cupcake is the peppy pattie. my number two favourite is lovely bunch of coconuts (it is number two because i have had much better coconut cupcakes then the ones from crave). and of course, since i love all things mini, they have to be mini cupcakes - adorable!
omg. i decided i needed to post a cute picture of a cupcake, so i googled "cupcakes" and was disappointed with the result. so i googled "hello kitty cupcakes", and am now in heaven. added to my to-do list is bake (mini) hello kitty cupcakes.
love keiko.

no woman no cry.
so, i am in need of a good game of scrabble. it has been weeks (months?) since i have played against a human opponent. scrabble on nintendo ds? it is fun and all, but it's nothing compared to a nice evening with sweet people and a real board with real tiles. plus, level 6 on ds is too hard for me, and level 5 is too easy - so i am stuck (wtf, level 6? my computer opponent plays 7 letter word after 7 letter word! i am not good with using all my tiles). scrabble night (board game night) has officially been added to my to-do list.
love keiko.
p.s. i just copied my to-do list into my brand new little moleskin journal. it felt good.
p.p.s. the title of this blog post is bob marley because at work today, we listened to the bob marley/maroon 5 tape, and this song has been stuck in my head all night.

xoxo gossip girl.
5 of my thoughts on the gossip girl season finale:
1. ok, so, chuck and blair? i love them. at first i didn't think i would be a fan of these two. but i really, really, really love them. yes, the "i love you, too" scene was a little cheesy... with the traveling around the world to get all her favourite things. but how can you not smile at it? it is just so happy! this scene was definitely my favourite of the episode... while watching it, my sister and i both let out our "awwwwww" in unison. it took them long enough. it made me feel happy.
2. georgina! she is great. she is drama. i am stoked to see what she gets up to next season with blair. sometimes it is still hard for me not to see her as buffy's annoying kid sister, i was not a fan of dawn. at all. (yes, i love love love buffy the vampire slayer. yes, that makes me really cool).
3. serena... was kind of annoying. i do love blake lively, she is gorgeous. but serena just didn't stand out in this episode. why did she get SOOOO upset about the gg dig at the start?
4. i am kind of confused by how much jenny has changed over the course of the show. her style is out of control... compared to mid-season, even. but it was so nice (and suprising) of blair to choose her to be queen!
5. rufus and lily? ... umm did they get stoned before getting engaged? i didn't really follow that. long lost son of rufus and lily! this will be good!

i really did forget how much i love this song this year. when the con first came out, i would listen to this song on repeat. my sister was singing it while we were doing dishes just now, and now i am listening to it on repeat while cleaning the rest of the kitchen.
love keiko.
p.s. i really like this live video of it. and also, i am excited because i finally figured out how to centre the embedded videos! yes! i feel proud, even though it is really really simple, and i should have been able to figure out much sooner.

now and then.
since this was my childhood favourite movie, i think everyone should watch the trailer... and if you haven't seen the movie - go watch it. NOW. not only is this movie all about life long friendships and growing up... and has a sweet soundtrack. really, it does. in the summers of 1995-1998 we would go for bike rides and sing all the songs, and just love life. i probably could sing every word to every song on that soundtrack. my faves? signed sealed delivered, sugar sugar, band of gold, i'll be there, knock three times.

a list.
here is my to-do list for the next few days/weeks.
1. plan my birthday celebrations (i actually have a little while to get this done - just under a month, laser tag is a definite possibility)
2. go to the zoo!
3. use my new camera more/read the manual/figure out what i'm doing.
4. finish the books that ive started reading (fear and loathing in las vegas, no one belongs here more than you, the curious case of the dog in the nighttime, bloodletting and other miraculous cures).
5. shake this bizarre/annoying anxious feeling i've had for the past few days (why do i have this horrible feeling? no one knows, but it was speculated that it could be because i accidently smoked a cigarette, took herbal ecstasy pills, or smoked too much pot - none of which have i done, so it remains a mystery).
6. go bowling! (this could easily be combined with number 1, but was done for last year's celebration).
7. plan a summer trip.
8. see 17 Again, (this is a priority).
love keiko.

keiko and kaur were talking about graffiti.
kaur was trying to tell a story about a rad graffiti artist.
it went sorta like this:
"there's this really sweet graffiti artist, i dont remeber his name, but he's got mad skills"
"good story..."
well i actually can't remember how the convo went at all.
anyways...introducing banksy!

mine is rather repetitive...i blame it on the fact that until january i had a 2gb ipod so i didn't have most of my songs that i listened to on my computer but just cd's rather. that and i listen to my ipod waaaaay more than itunes so the songs i listen to most aren't accurately represented...however to be fair i listened to bon iver tonsss. i would have figured more mgmt, the dears, fleet foxes, t.i, kanye west, and iron & wine to be on there though.

Okay, so, I just clicked sort by play count on my itunes, and was kind of suprised by my most played songs. I guess it is partly because I had to buy a new macbook in september, so everything started over again. I also have been listening to my ipod a lot more this year. Anyway, here is the list:
1. L.E.S. Artistes - Santigold (I found that whole letter change thing confusing - and I like the letter O so I like Santogold better)
2. Born on the FM Waves of the Hearts - Against Me! ft. Tegan Quin
3. Whatever You Like - T.I.
4. Time to Pretend - MGMT
5. Ce Jeu - Yelle
6. Bella's Lullaby - Carter Burwell
7. What's Your Name - Usher ft. Will.I.Am
(i expected 1 to be one of my all time favourite songs!!!!).
(I like 3+6+7, but in no way would I say that they are any of my favourite songs).
I know that before my last macbook died (oh shit, I wanted to write "R.I.P. ______" but am blanking on what her name was), basically all my top played songs were Tegan and Sara, M.I.A, Broken Social Scene, and the Spice Girls. Now Tegan and Sara don't appear until #23 (Call It Off, which is so suprising! I could easily say that this is one of my all time favourite songs), and I don't even want to count down to where the others appear. weird.
love keiko.
time for five.
ive been pretty into trying to find new music all the time lately, but this week was all about past favourite songs (which means a lot of tegan and sara, so i have two number one songs).
1. call it off - tegan and sara
1. not tonight - tegan and sara
2. first day of my life - bright eyes
3. swimmers - broken social scene
4. sweepstakes prize - mirah
5. burn 2 ash - chad vangaalen
love keiko.

precious.
when i heard mariah carey was going to be acting again i laughed...when i heard the movie was called precious i laughed again. however i was definitely not aware of what the movie was going to be about or the book it was based on, so forgive me cause this movie looks intense.

love this.
1. i have a weird love for jesse mccartney. seriously, he is great. it is kind of like my love for kelly clarkson (only a little less cool, i think).
2. i was pretty stoked when i found out he is on the (not good) show Greek - i watched it before, but it's better now with jesse.
3. i started watching Summerland last summer because he was on it (but it was so terrible i couldn't handle it)
4. leaving' was my number one favourite song last summer, i was slightly embarrassed about it, but have come to embrace my love for him.
5. ive never purchased a jesse mccartney cd before, but i planned on buying one today... but then i thought i lost my blackberry/got sidetracked by starbucks/bought books instead.
love keiko.
=(
i just want to say that all this jon and kate scandal news makes me so sad. all i want to do is have a nice jon and kate plus 8 marathon and think about how alexis is my fave, "aww".
love keiko.

ummm.
at first i wanted this blog to be kind of impersonal, just about things i think are dope/ things that i hate. but right now i am incredibly bored, and have nothing better to do except this lamo survey thing (i selected only some questions to answer, and then had nowhere to post it, i try to keep my facebook minimal - no notes... so i am putting it here), maybe you will feel like you know me better.
1. So, what did you do all day?: worked, ate at earls for really cheap (free $5 gift card, and kids chicken tenders), watched the greys finale (and maybe cried a little), "twittered".
2. What is the most expensive thing you've bought recently? my most recent expensive purchase was two months ago, my digital slr. my actual last purchase was super cheap, 3 pairs of flipflops for $10.
3. Last concert (or show) you attended: bloc party.
4. Describe your favorite artical of clothing: at the moment, i would say my white "boyfriend" style button up shirt.
6. Last video game played: SCRABBLE ON DS.
10. What was the last board game you played?: scrabble
11. Who won?: definitely me.
14. Last movie you watched at home: Notorious, with kaur, so expect some sort of review sometime soonish.
16. What was the last thing you created: i am working on a painting for a friend, of a jellyfish takeover. but since that is incomplete - "blake and taryn's infinite playlist volume I" for a friend, with a super cute case an everything.
17. Are you reading any books right now?: bloodletting and other miraculous cures, no one belongs here more than you, and shortcomings. well, i finished shortcomings, but i figured i would include it since it was on my list of books to read.
18. Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?: one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish - still have most of that book memorized. (also: every robert munsch book)
30. Last new artist that you listened to and really liked: tender forever, i believe was the last new band i started listening to.
31. Last new one you hated: kings of leon. ok, i dont actually hate them, but i just cant seem to get into them, at all. but, ive only ever heard one song, so yeah.
41. What was the last free thing you've gotten?: free $5 gift cards for earls.

eff you.
just an update on the status hatin'.
it sucks big time logging onto facebook and the number one thing on your news feeds ruins the season finale of greys for you.
love keiko.
um twitter?
i signed up for a twitter account today. i have no idea why. i hate status updates on facebook, and twitter is basically just nonstop status updates. (note: i made a facebook status about getting twitter). anyway, i think i need someone to convince me why twitter=awesome, because i just don't get it. also, "following" someone is difficult, how do you know it's legit for celebrity ones.
but i also don't really understand myspace.
i guess im just a facebook kind of girl.
love keiko.
p.s. twitter

hot and cold.
i like the justjared interview with katy perry. first thing she says:
"KP: Hi! I love your site so much! You’re the man because you show good pictures and you’re not trashing people’s lives and making people cry! You’re a nice guy, I like that. You’re trying to change the idea of media. It’s cool."
i take that as a diss to perez.
1. GOOD pictures. (perez doesn't have, ever)
2. NOT trashing people's lives. (pretty much the only thing perez does)
love keiko.
p.s. i secretly love katy perry.
