The Newest Obsession

Well it starts with some Wizards and ends with ROCK!

oh yes i am talking about Wrock!

So I did finally get my ALL CAPS cd (as seen on my Dailybooth) and it is amazing!!! I have basically been listening to it non stop since I got it!

Okay to I sat down to write this and now discovered that most of what I was going to write is actually covered in my vlog today... so that's not good.

Decision: this will be a companion piece to the vlog -

Subject 1: Wizard Rock or Wrock!!!

It's amazing... need I say more = yep AWESOME! I already loved the Parselmouths (their new album is great - just came out on Itunes). But Luke Conrad of ALL CAPS caused me to start listening to Ministry of Magic - who are also awesome. Which then let me to a full day of experimentation with different Wrock groups and let me point out that I am amazed. I tend to get stuck in my own little niche of music a lot which is a lot of alternative and some country. But I am SOOO glad I gave this genre a chance! I was never super obsessed with Harry Potter - actually when first printed I hated the books just because they were soo popular and everyone else was reading them - i was a bit of a rebel or at least wanted to be in late elementary school. But then I read them one summer when I was bored and thought .. hey, these don't suck. And then Goblet of Fire came out - and I fell in love, that is until Sirius dies and I was super upset cuase he was one of my favorite characters. So i refused to read book 6 right away and ended up having one of my good friends/directors spoil it for me. But I did read book 7 and I am now over my anger with H.P. books hehe. I was always a Ron/Hermione shipper (can you tell i read fanfiction) so life ended well for me. hehe! But this whole wrock thing kind of came out of left field and basically made my day. ALL CAPS is amazing and great and I love it but it opened me up to a whole new idea of what music can be and for that I am eternally greatful to Kristina and Luke. SO BRAVO! you made a believer out of me and so many others.

Subject 2: Basilica Block Party

Minneapolis July 10-11.
I really want to go July 11 to see Matt Nathanson and Counting Crows!!
Tickets are $35 so that might limit who would want to go.. :(

Subject 3: Books

1. An Abundance of Katherines - John Green.
This one I went into thinking I would love it and I was totally right. John Green is a genius. Like seriously the whole premise is great and it kept me guessing and best of all - literally anyone could read it and get something totally different out of it and that is what is exciting for me.

2. The Reluctant Heiress - Eva Ibbosten.
I was really worried when reading this book that it would be like so many of her other stories. And in a way it was but also it was fun to read. I love books that can totally immerse you into a time period and history, make you understand a conflict but still be incredibly enjoyable and give me a love story on top of that - HECK YES! It did have Eva's classic plot twist but I believe it came earlier in this novel that in some of her other novels. That was fine with me but for some reason the last 75 pages I was waiting for that twist that made me throw down the book, get angry and then have it all resolved. But it ended up that I like the ending, nothing too crazy and happily ever after I can never complain about. Overall a good read! (but don't read too many Eva Ibbosten books around the same time period or you will start to predict which can ruin the book for some)


Well that was a LOT longer than I thought - but expect more of the book reviews, at the moment I am reading Duchessina - Carolyn Meyer but am only on Chapter 3. Also might start Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson cause I'm dying to read it and it fits in my purse a heck of a lot better than the hardcover Carolyn Meyer book.

Well Much Love and Hugs,

Chrissy


I will leave you with some All Caps lyrics (there's a couple of different ones this time - sorry for breaking the rules = hey wait I made the rules!!!)

"Just like Sawyer jumped out of a plane to save his crew, I'd throw my fat ass off that plane, if it meant seeing you again in Level 2 where we take down vengerman Linus cause that guy's a douche..." - Saved ~ALL CAPS

"I want to be Mrs. Nerimon!!!" - Mrs. Nerimon ~ ALL CAPS

"I wish I could freeze time and space like Hiro from Heroes. Cause I wannabe able to teleport back to this spot, whenever I want you. A super awesome hero that can teleport back to this spot whenever you need me but I need you..." - Saved ~ ALL CAPS
