I've been listening to some new music lately - mostly selections Boyfriend has given me, and some free "Pick of the Week"'s from Starbucks. The title is from Jason Bajada's song, "The Sound Your Life Makes". Boyfriend and I have similar tastes in music, so that makes life really easy. And movies are a broad spectrum subject anyway, so it doesn't matter if we don't have the same taste. It's similar enough, so that's good too.
In other news, my cats are assholes as always, but as they approach nine months of age I've noticed they're starting to settle down into more adult behaviour. It's good to see them mature into cats, not kittens anymore.
I came home from work early today - it was totally dead. So that made today a little nicer. I did some tidying up so the house doesn't look like a sty anymore. Yahoo. Now that I have some relaxing time I'm listening to music and writing this calm blog post. Now Coldplay is on and I'm lost. I easily become trapped in the sounds they create with their music - there's a select few artists that this happens with. Rufus Wainwright, The Hush Sound, Coldplay, Ingrid Michaelson, Imogen Heap, and more recently, Foster the People. Those are the main ones, anyway. My faves. <3
I'm a fan of soundtracks, too. RENT, Sweeny Todd, Les Chansons d'Amour, Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog, Repo! The Genetic Opera...Love em.

Yes, I'm adding things as I'm listening to them. What of it? I'm pretty sure I'm already ADD anyway. :P
I have a couple of trips coming up in the near future. My roommate and I will be taking a day trip down to Victoria one weekend so she can pop in at the convention going on. I plan to hide in a mall and spend more money than I'm supposed to. That will be fun, I'm sure - despite the friction between us now that Boyfriend has appeared in my life (by the way, did I mention he's meeting my mom this weekend? Delighted).

The second thing is the maybe-cancelled-but-we-hope-it'll-still-happen reptile show in Abbotsford in April. Boyfriend wants me to come with him, just the two of us. It would be simple to say yes, of course, if it wasn't the same weekend as my roommate and best friend's birthday. It's been discussed and she plans to go to Vancouver to see her grandma for her birthday anyway, so I have the clear to take a trip with Boyfriend. I think we're going to buy a snake :3 I desperately want one, and have ever since grade 9 when I babysat a beautiful albino pink and white cornsnake named Leroy for two weeks (and took care of him for the rest of the school year as I was an assistant for the teacher in one of my blocks). Boyfriend wants one too, and I think because of my cats and the fact that I can't keep a snake at my house, he's going to keep it at his with the rest of his reptiles and we'll co-own it. Or I'll purchase it and he'll house her for me. Yes, I want a female. Her name will be Stellaluna, and she'll be beautiful. I chose Stellaluna for a number of reasons - first, it's a lovely name. Second, it's the title of my favourite book when I was a kid. Third, the author of the book Stellaluna also wrote a second book (both with incredible artwork, as I recall) titled Verdi, about a green tree snake who didn't want to turn green (they're born yellow), for it meant he wouldn't want to slither around anymore. So there's a tie to the snake world. And because I want an albino, Luna meaning moon will tie in nicely too. So yeah. I want a white and yellow albino female so I can call her Stellaluna. Boyfriend disagrees, he likes the bright colored snakes. :P
Whatever. That's my update for today. Ramble ramble ramble.
