to quote my dear Samwise Gamgee. Anywho, sheeshie! I've missed a lot. On Wednesday, I went to a nearby city to celebrate my sister's 13th birthday by shopping and spending the night at a hotel. So this is the first time I've been on since Wednesday. Oh, while I was out shopping, I went to A.C Moore craftstore and they had their canvasses 50% off (Queen Elizabeth, I know you especially understand :)! I was so excited. And after I bought some canvass board and oil solvent (for my oil pastels), my wonderful grandmother bought some watercolors for me! So, looks like I've an artistic weekend ahead. I'll post what beauty may come of it.
At the hotel last night, we had pizza and cake. And I'm always so happy when it's my older little sister's birthday because she likes the same cake as me. So after some Hawaiian pizza (which is also my favorite) I lost myself in chocolate cake/buttercream frosting bliss. I really did kinda lose it: after eating, I was chasing my two year old cousin around the lobby and sneaking and jumping around. But it's so fun to be crazy.
Before we had left home, I stocked up my ipod with new songs: Weeping Willow and Lighthouse by The Hush Sound, Hello by Schuyler Fisk, Test Drive from How to Train Your Dragon, Walking in the Air by Chloe Agnew, and I Don't Wanna Wait by Rosi Golan. All awesome. I also listened to Wunderkind on the way there, and it got stuck in my head like bubble gum in your hair. Narnia has got some of the best music ever. EVER! And everyday I re-realize this: There is art. There is music. There is imagination. Life is good. Really good. In case you couldn't tell, right now I'm just happy to be alive to take it all in.
Well, enough of my ramblings; all this music talk has got me itching to write a song.
Fare thee well, readers beloved.
Yay you got the Lighthouse! :) And yes I would be excited about all the great art stuff too, I can't wait to see what becomes of it. I still need to get some medium before I can use my oil paints.
ReplyDeleteQuick question. In the LWW which song is the one that is played when you see the title and the train is going by. It has some violins and some girl singing in a choir like voice sorta like Enya? Which song might that be?
Yes I luuuv Lighthouse, thank you soo much for posting it! That is so awesome you're doing oil paints. I haven't quite summoned the courage. O.O
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that song! It is so magical. It is... Evacuating London. When I bought it on itunes, I thought it was just the sad piano music, which I also love, and then was pleasantly suprised to hear that girl's nymph-ish voice. So, yeah. Evacuating London. Buy it. It's awesome. :)
Ok thanks. When I looked up Evacuating London on youtube the first time (it just had random pics to the song) and like 10 seconds in it was just the piano and music so I didn't know if it was the right one, so thanks! :) I still have my gift card to Micheal's so I could buy some more supplies needed for oil painting, I'm really nervous, but all of my favorite art instructors on TV do oil paints, so now I might be able to paint along. :)
ReplyDeleteYou got this girl! Go 4 it! How long have you been painting?
