i’ve said before how much i love seeing what’s inspiring other creative people so i really enjoy putting lists together of a few of my favorite things. i figured while i was waiting for some shipping labels to finish printing i could put one together. hope you enjoy! :)

(i always try to link to the original source if i know it. just click on the picture.)

1. singin’ in the rain

i watched this for the first time two nights ago on TCM and instantly fell in love. i’m sort of meh about musicals in general but this absolutely, positively stole my heart. the colors, the story, the actors…everything was just perfect! gene kelly was a dream and donald o’connor was so adorably quirky! this might be a new favorite movie for me. go watch it. srsly. it’s on TIME magazine’s all time 100 movies list. i think i’m going to make watching all those movies a goal on my to do list this year. love love love. here’s a clip of the signature scene. tell me you don’t fall in love. try it but i won’t believe you!

2. red hair

my hair is naturally a brownish kind of red but i’ve been seriously considering dyeing it a more orange-y red. yeah. i think i will.

3. farscape

it’s no secret how much i love sci fi but i had never seen farscape until just a few weeks ago. it came up on my netflix instant view and i just adore it. it’s a little bit silly but i think that’s to be expected for something with puppets and produced by the henson’s company. ben browder is a dreamboat too. i first saw him in my very favorite (now cancelled) stargate sg1 and i didn’t really care for him. i think that’s because he replaced the brilliant richard dean anderson. it’s nice to see him in his own role. i need more sci fi in my life! especially with loverly fellas. heh.

4. bubbles!

i have ALWAYS loved bubbles! there is something beautiful and magical about them. the colors and shape and weightless nature. pure joy. i remember when i was kiddo my brother and i had edible bubbles. just one more thing to love about them.

5. damien rice and ray lamontagne singing together

i have no idea how i found this song originally but i wish there were more like it! they’re both favorites of mine and wow, do their voices blend seamlessly or what?? pure acoustic magic.
