Brass monkeys out there. It's raining. It's windy. It's perfect for staying in. I love grey Sundays.
And I started it quite well. Coffee, movie (Stuart Little, starring Hugh Laurie, awww) and couch. Perfect combination. I think I'll do the same this afternoon, after lunch. Another movie, more coffee and sitting on the couch. If only I could find another movie with Hugh in it... (call me crazy, I call myself a FAN, yes, with bog block letters)
Sunday (rainy) morning...
But if you try sometimes, you might find you get what you need
I wanted to write down this since Monday but for one reason or the other, I couldn't find the words.
PIGEONHOLE (v) to treat or classify according to a mental sterotype.
It all came up when I read on Bella's blog the entry "You can't always get what you want" (which is my favourite song by The Rolling Stones, and I don't even like them). When I learnt the verb "to pigeonhole" in my English class last year, I used it all the time, in every composition. But I think that now I can use it and it has a real meaning in real life to me... at least. And I'll put it in big block letters to make my point clear.
I DON'T WANT TO BE CATERGORIZED, CLASSIFIED OR PIGEOHOLED INTO ANY CATEGORY. I'M HAPPY WITH WHO I AM. I DON'T NEED TO BE LIKE ANYBODY ELSE. I LIKE WHO I AM, IT'S JUST THAT SOMETIMES I NEED A LITTLE BIT OF A REMINDER. I KNOW I CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT I WANT. I CAN'T ALWAYS BE HAPPY WITH WHAT I THINK, WITH WHAT I SAY, WITH WHAT I LOOK LIKE, WITH MY FUTURE PLANS, WITH MY PAST. BUT I CAN GET WHAT I NEED. AND I HAVE WHAT I NEED. I SOMETIMES TRY SO HARD TO GET SOMETHING THAT WOULDN'T EVER MAKE ME HAPPY, BUT JUST BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS IT, I HAVE TO. I JUST HAVE TO TRY. AND BY TRYING, I GET WHAT I NEED. AND I CAN BE HAPPY WITH THAT. I HAVE FRIENDS, I HAVE A FAMILY, I HAVE A HOUSE, I HAVE BOOKS, I HAVE A TV, I HAVE MUSIC, I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED TO BE HAPPY.
There are stupid girls and boys, just like you and me, who are dying to get into a pigeonhole. A place where everbody looks, think and says the same. Is that a nice thing? Being all the same? NO! Being unique, being rare is amazingly wonderful. It's fulfilling. It's great to see that you don't wanna fit.
There's one reason why I like TV shows and movies that much. And it's because I love seeing amazing life stories, characters that don't exist in real life, houses that are made of cardboard. And while I watch all that, I know that my life is simple and boring. But I like it that way because if my life was so incredibly interesting, any movie would seem boring. And I thank whoever said one day "let's make a movie". Steroetypes: they don't work... with smart people. YES! If are able to at least recognize a steorotype, you are smart. You can tell the difference between a real person and someone who was made up by another person who want to make money.
FYI I write all this, but 2 minutes later I might want to have a perfect body and have cool clothes. But as my favourite TV character Greg House says: "the philosopher Jagger once said, 'You can't always get what you want.'"

My favourite Award ceremony
And every year, while most people wait for the Oscars or the Grammys, I have to wait for Septemeber to come to enjoy the Awards I have always LOVED, the Emmys.
TV is my passion, my thing. That which I cannot explain. I love it. Since the day I turned on the TV with sister (we must've been 9 and 7) and there it was... E! This awesome channel. Or the day we discovered that Alyssa Milano, from Who's the Boss? was on Charmed and we couldn't get out eyes away from the enchanted show. Since those days, TV is a part of me and the EMMYS my favourites.
I have made my predictions. Of course, the love of my life, Hugh Laurie is my strongest because for 4 years he hasn't won it. Tomorrow is the day. He'll win, I have a gut feeling. (Please, win).
Neil Patrick Harris will be the host. He did a good job at the Tony's at the beginning of the year.
Can't wait till tomorrow. Don't call me, don't txt me (unless you wanna say sth about the ceremony, otherwise, you're out)!
xoxo, B.
Things that happen on a Monday night
First and foremost, Juan Martin Del Potro won the 2009 US Open. He beat World N°1 Roger Federer, who my sister supported all night no matter being herself Argentinian. Del Potro gave a little bit of joy for us Argentinians to celebrate about something good. Thanks and congratulations!!!!!
And season 7 of One Tree Hill started last night. (Bella, if you are reading this, STOP!)
My two favourite characters, Lucas and Peyton are gone, GONE! I knew it and I'd promised myself that I wasn't gonna watch OTH if Hilarie and Chad were leaving the show, but my loyalty to this show since day 1, did more than my first will.
I watch bits last night (because I was on the TV watching the US Open final) and saw if full this morning. The storyline has something missing. I mean, the opening and closing voiceover done by Chad M. Murray for 6 season are over and they were so important to me and to the rest of the audience. Now, these quotes being said by Dan or any other character are just a way to blow the essence of the show. I hated that part. (I miss Luke's voice).
As for Hales, Nate and Jamie... well, they are an adorable fiction family. Quinn, sorry girl, but you act like if you've been on Tree Hill forever, and you're still an outsider. Not liking her at all.
Once biotch Brooke Davis is sort of happy with the new love of my life, (Austin Nichols) Julian. They seem OK to me. Their storyline is the same as it finished last year, except for the marriage proposal (?)
And what's the deal with Nathan's rep? He looks mysterious, but I don't think he'll work. He's probably gonna have a love story with Quinn.
Dan is Dan. Aparently, he has found redemption and all that crap. He's one of the original characters, so I love him just for that.
OK, just a few random thoughts (not very wll organized as you can see)...

Covers (because original songs can be beaten)
These covers blew my mind!!! I can't stop listening to them. So, if there's anybody who actually reads my blog, it would be great if you listen to them. Enjoy!
XXXXX, Bell
Robbie Williams is BACK!
After 3 years, in which I suffer from abstinence for not being able to listen to a new song of Robbie, the first musician/songwriter/singer/entertainer I've fallen for is BACK! (And I can't be happier!)
The whole UFOs thing, the aliens, the not being fit and blah blah blah is gone, and Mr Williams is better than ever. With some spots of grey hair and wrinkles next to his piercing green eyes, I dare to admit that I love this man more than ever.
Now I can't wait for the launching of "Reality Killed The Video Star" , and a press release saying: Robbie Williams will tour through South America. And in that moment, my heart will stop.
For the sake of my happiness, I give you the art cover of the album and track list, together with the art cover, video of the first single "Bodies".
Please, enjoy as much as I do!
- "Morning Sun"
- "Bodies"
- "You Know Me"
- "Blasphemy"
- "Do You Mind?"
- "Last Days of Disco"
- "Somewhere"
- "Deceptacon"

- "Difficult for Weirdos"
- "Superblind"
- "Won't Do That"
