Intellectual Mind Sex

Renee has been reading poetry lately. Here are some favourite excerpts (I love the word excerpt. It just looks so fancy, you know? Like there are so many sounds that should be pronounced but then aren't, like a pumpkin tart. BTW I ate my weight in chocolate cheesecake tonight and now I feel more than a little ill. Tangent)

Not a day passes, not a minute or second without a corpse. - Walt Whitman

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper
- T.S. Eliot

what if a dawn of a doom of a dream
bites this universe in two
peels forever out of his grave
and sprinkles nowhere with me and you?
- e.e. cummings

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
- W.H. Auden


A young watchman leans at a window and sees the lights
of barges butting their way across a harbor, nets of
red and white lanterns in a railroad yard, and a span
of glooms splashed with lines of white and blurs of
crosses and clusters over the sleeping city.
By night the skyscraper looms in the smoke and the stars
and has a soul.
- Carl Sandburg

Hope that stimulated your cerebulums (word? i don't think so...)

American Idol Concert Tour Review

Well. Well. It's good that I gave myself a few days to calm down before blogging about the tour or it would have basically been a whole lot of unreadable jibberish that looked a little like this - "OMGhgkjk679ADAMLAMBERtgahhh679q9ue8w5789&%*"

Or something to that effect. (Affect? Effect...)

Anyways. The tour was GREAT. I may have even enjoyed it more than last year, because unfortunately David Cook was disappointing. However, no one this year was disappointing (that I cared about.) Adam was FANTASTIC - the energy in the room when he came out was electrifying (good word). Everyone was just so stoked to see him. Seeing him live was different than anyone else I've ever seen live because he was just so...good. Like, inhuman. ELECTRIFYING, if you will.

Allison, Matt, Kris and Scott were all also very good, and there was nobody bad. Megan was the most disappointing, just because she didn't really connect with the audience at all.

The group song was amazing, mainly because RENEE LOVES JOURNEY. That one song, to be more specific (Don't Stop Believin')

And then AFTERWARDS - oh boy. We got to see them and get SO CLOSE TO THEM IT WAS...electrifying. I touched Kris Allen's palm (not creepily, we high fived) and I squished my hand against Matt Giraud's chest (again, not creepily, I was shoved forward by some weirdo behind me - what kind of thirty year old male freaks out when they see Allison Iraheta? Pedophile. He totally pushed some little kids into the barricades. I feared for my life. Tangent.)

Then Adam Lambert stole my book. I was holding it out for him to sing because people held stuff out and then they got signed but I guess no one else was holding anything as weird as "The Sun Also Rises" because his rep misconstrued my gesture and thought I was giving it to him as a gift. She was like "Thanks, he'll love it" and then she took it. I didn't say anything, because I have to say, the thought of Adam Lambert reading my book - or more specifically Gab's book - makes me a little tingly.

So that was basically my American Idol experience, omitting the part where we got lost afterwards, wandered around downtown Vancouver for an hour and had to take a kabuki cab back to our hotel.

Greg Laswell

Very excellent musician. Buddies with Ingrid Michaelson too, which of course always makes someone look good.

Renee's Scary Story

Because this is what happens when she's left home alone.

A beautiful young girl comes downstairs. All the windows are not only open but locked that way. Odd, she thinks, as she goes around closing them. Then she notices that the back door is ajar. Strange, being that it is after midnight. A feeling of unease begins to creep across her flawless skin as she closes the door with porcelain hands. She notices a strange shadow flitting across the back deck. 

To calm her nerves, she goes to the dark computer screen. Although in sleep mode, she notices a recurring "ding" resonating from the computer. Intrigued, she touches the space bar. The screen bursts to life, with a single message flashing repeatedly across the screen. "I'm in the house. Look behind you." No one hears her muffled scream.

NOTE: This story is based on true events. The end part is a figment of my terrified imagination.

Renee's Top 10 Actresses she would look like

NOTICE: Renee will be carrying the blog for a while, since someone is off jetsetting to warm tropical places. I am very upset right now because my Harry Potter 7 book was taken from me today and I will not sleep until I get it back. Also, I feel like my eyes are crossing. I think I need to see an optomatrist (that's definitely not spelled right).

Current events: Cobie Smulders baby's name is Shaelyn Cado Killam.

These are the top ten actresses that Renee would look like. It's split into only two posts because it's not as important as my top ten hotties list was, which garnered ten posts.

1. Lauren Graham

2. Cobie Smulders

3. Evangeline Lilly

4. Olivia Wilde

5. Lizzy Caplan

There seems to be a theme here. They all have wavy brown hair. I wish that my hair was brown and wavy, but alas it is not.

Second installment on its way (apparently you can only post so many pictures in one entry.)

Renee Out.

Wow!

Weird to hear it done by someone who can actually sing.
