school's out for summer - again. which potentially means... more blogging?

currently this song is (on repeat) on my itunes:


i am smitten. :o)

it seems that stella's found a new love. his name? glen hansard, lead singer of the frames and the main actor in the movie, Once. not much of a surprise really, since what girl in her right mind could ever resist a guy with a guitar? mind you, someone who actually *knows* how to use it properly AND carry a pretty decent tune at the same time - a skilled musical multitasker, if you will. of course, the authentic irish accent and coiffe of curls might have helped a *little* too. :oP

the last time i saw a movie that left such a vehement impression on me was probably after seeing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. the concept of potentially meeting *the one* is probably one of the many mysteries that continues to both fascinate and occasionally frustrate me. but it was enlightening how this film actually worked in conveying that same awkward combination of fascination and frustration in a such a way that was believable and lighthearted enough to bring a smile to my face; with just enough ambiguity at the end that kept me genuinely hoping for the best. and as we all know, hope is a lovely thing. :o)

plus, the soundtrack is delightful - quite a charming balance of acoustic guitar, piano, and simplistic vulnerability.

now, if only all trips to the music store and/or all street musicians were just as dreamy. lol. wishful thinking, estelle. wishful thinking. :oP

random thought: does anyone even blog anymore these days or has facebook finally dominated all of cyberspace?
