Bjork..

is coming out with a new video, for Wanderlust.....and it looks like it will be a good one.

Here is a preview behind the concept. Preview Here!

I think the video was premiered just recent, so it should be in the mainstream in no time!

:-)

It seems like now-a-days, I write more in my portable journal/diary, to and from work, so I will have to make a conscious effort to post more things here. Sorry about the lack of info....personally, it's been a trying time. Send me some good vibes, if you have some to spare.;-)

In the stars...

today this is my horoscope.....I like it!

Your Horoscope for MARCH 27, 2008

There is a fun loving, boisterous energy to the day that should give you a great deal of power and self-confidence. You will be extremely effective in everything you put your hand to, Jennifer. Remember to love yourself and believe 100% in the things that you say and do. Generate passionate, forceful love from your heart. No one will be able to respond with anything but their own.

BOOYEAH!!!

I'm listening to Guster's Keep it Together, my kits are running about, I also am watching some form of MTV, since there are like 20 million station. My feet are a bit cold and I think that a nice warm shower would do the trick(although some what temporary.

I will be heading out in like an hour to do a bit of shopping to stock up on things in the house and sadly as this may sound, there is a shortage of any sort of chocolate in the house! Really, it's a crime.:-p

Anywho, Jassen's birthday is in less than 2 weeks(~10 days) and I've gotten more or less half of his gifties. He already knows that I was looking into getting Elbow tickets for the 15th of April, but they are sold out closest to the stage. I also looked at when the Guillemots were playing and unfortunately I have a friend passing through London, so I'd rather hang out with her, but if I didnt have things planned I would have gone for sure. We(J and I) saw them at Glasto '07 and they were interesting.:-p

I have a friend at work, named Stew, who is a musician and we are making the attempts to get together and collaborate a bit on music, see if we can get anywhere with it.

Alright, kiddies! Talk lata!

~Jen

No Subject...

The Balance in between

my life and that of a dream

ever it desends

in light and smiles of a friend

Creativity...surely gifts from another space
where it comes from
no one can truly place.

Up a bit earlier...

than I need to be, as I set my alarm for 8:25 am, but I've been in and out of sleep due to my boy cat, Salt whining for food since about 5 this morning. Tonight, we plan on moving the cat litter, as well as our two kits to the living room and kitchen area of our flat and closing the door. It's not fair to be pawed, meowed at, or just frankly, disturbed whilst trying to get some shut eye.

Today is a bank holiday, or Easter Monday, here in the U.K. but once again, I am working, so I have actually 2 more holiday days left to take, and a potential 1 on top of that, until the end of April. In a couple of weeks' time, Jassen and I will have our holiday time, when we visit Ireland. I look forward to that and feel more of the excitement as the days approach.:-)

Yesterday, we weren't up to too much, just some lazying-around. We did manage, around 5 pm to get out and walk for about 20 minutes, go to a little grocery shop to grab bits, and then got some Texas Friend Chicken, which is one of our favourite places to "junk-it-out".

Anywho...I've been trialing a new route to work that gets me to work nearly 30 minutes earlier. Normally, I take a bus that takes 20+ minutes to get to a tube station and then underground-it for about 25-30, and I usually tag on and extra 15 minutes for any delays. For the most part, I would get into work 5-10 minutes before hand. With this new route, I jump on an overground, take that 5-8 minutes worth, change for the underground, ride that for more or less 20, then walk 5 minutes to work. It's definitely quicker and the first day I trialed it, I got to work in 37 minutes, on the way home, it was about 45 minutes. It's nice to get out of work around half 7, and be home close to 8 pm, but in order to do that, once i get use to the train times and when I can get there by, I will propose to my managers some revised times, so I can catch the right trains. We shall see.

The next day off is Thursday, but I wish that I had like a weekend off. I feel a bit tired and dragged down.:-/

Regardless and through it all, I do hope everyone is having a good Monday.

*hugs*

It is...

proving to be quite difficult in regards to catching some quality Zzzzzzzs.
It seems that the magical hours is between that of 330-430am. I'll wake up, finding it hard to fall back into the arms of sleep, then feel the need to get up and exert some energy, be it shower, or prepare myself for the up and coming day.

This time around, I woke up just before 4, took a shower and shaved my legs. I wish legs would stay smooth for like a month or something, cuz YEESH, it is a task. Anywho, I just ingested a banana, sharing a few nibbles with Pepper(my girl kit), so that was somewhat refreshing. I have a super early shift, as I call it, today so, I will be leaving out of here in less than 2 hours anyway. But hard as I may try, I will attempt sleep for another hour after I post this mini-bloggie.

It just kinda sucks alot when one is not sleeping alot and how I react to it, which is soooo common, is crankiness, grumpy, and negative, which isnt the BEST thing to be especially if heading off on a work day. I look forward to sunday, that being my day off. I hope I can manage more sleep soon or I'll probably get permo-baggy eyes soon enough!:-S

ummm..

Maybe it is just...

to milk a bit more money in the franchaise, but the last Harry Potter book, Deathly Hallows, is being split into two movies, set for release 2010 and 2011. I'm a bit "split" on how I feel about that.:-/

Here is a link:

The Last Potter Movie(s)

Anywho, in the life of Jen, it hasnt been the best of times. I am hoping for a vast improvement over the course of the next few days. I don't like feeling so negative and the antithesis of hopeful. I need to kick this bucket of junk over!

A random thought...

whilst reading Scott Adams(creator of Dilbert) blog.

He made a blog entry regarding beauty and god, etc. and his question was this:

"Attraction, which we humans usually interpret as beauty in our daily lives, is perhaps the most universal of all the laws. Is it a stretch to suppose that attraction is the hypothetical one most basic and original law of all? And if so, can one be forgiven for labeling it God?"

Here is the link to his page>>>

Scott Adams/Dilbert Blog

This was my response, since im random like that:


'Life is choice. We choose when we do or when we don't.'

Although, it is months until...

my birthday, I think I have picked out a theme song for it.;-)

The song is entitled, "27 Jennifers". It is a song by Mike Doughtry that I heard a few minutes ago on my stream of XRT, a radio station based in Chicago. Mike has a new album out called, "Golden Delicious", so I might take a bite out of that soon.:-p

Here are the lyrics, even though it doesnt necessary have the greatest meaning, with the exception that my name is Jennifer(popular in the late 70s/early 80s) and I am turning 27 this year.

27 Jennifers
Album: Skittish / Rockity Roll

I went to school with 27 Jennifers
16 Jenns, 10 Jennies, and then there was her
It’s the sweet shine of,
Yeah, force of divine love
The blessed arrival of you
You might be the one that I’ve been seeking for
You might be the strange delightful
You might be the girly who shall end all girls
You might be the sweet unspiteful
I rode the bus with 27 Jennifers
15 Jenns, 10 Jennies disapproved of her
Yeah, get from my sight, man,
Gladness is a blight, and
Happiness stinks up the room

Lazy Sunday...

or so it feels like, although it's Monday. I had a few days off in a row so now I am feeling anxious about returning back to work. I really think sometimes 2 days should be the max off and then 5 days straight(continue pattern), but my hours are all over the place.

Jassen and I were weighing our options on whether or not to either go(in the near future) to:

A.) Paris, France

or

B.)Dublin, Ireland

We are thinking the latter, so we shall see.:-)

Disney....

gone bad.






Mary Poppins V.2.0

Left-brained or right?

Take the test at

LEFT BRAIN or RIGHT

Here are the results:


Are You Left-Brained or Right-Brained?

Although one side of the brain is generally dominant over the other, we should strive to utilize both halves. A balanced brain makes a balanced person - combining sequential thinking with a holistic approach, or linear thinking with intuition, enables us to fully comprehend issues and solve problems. Left-brainers can dramatically improve their problem solving abilities by learning to "follow their gut," while right-brainers can improve the execution of their creative efforts.

Realizing your dominant half is the first step in becoming balance-brained.

Your percentage score for the right brain is 56%.
Your percentage score for the left brain is 44%.


You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.

Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows:

Left Brain
Linear
Sequential
Symbolic
Logical
Verbal
Reality-based
Right Brain
Holistic
Random
Concrete
Intuitive
Nonverbal
Fantasy-oriented

It is time...

for a little randomness...

I was looking up the people's birthday's from my last blog entry and wondered how many gemini's were pictured. I share a birthday with Benny Goodman, Heidi Klum is a Gem, as well as Angelina Jolie, etc. Jassen once told me that people often look like other signs, so I was just testing the waters a little.:-p
