Sweet Jams

This is good music:

I started listening a lot to this artist today. He's really jazzy and great.

Speaking of music, I have a confession. I have become an American Idol junkie. I do not know how this happened. In high school, I refused to watch this show, because...well it's ridiculous. But this season, I have been sucked in. I watched an episode once when Dan and I first started dating...and then maybe a few other times, and then when we visited his family, I just got really into it...and I VOTED THIS WEEK!!! Mostly, I just really hate Adam Lambert. I mean, I'm sure he's a nice guy and everything, he's just a really obnoxious performer. Also, I'm in love with Kris Allen. Good thing they're the last two, right??? It's a battle to the death. Point being though, I actually really do like Kris' music. I bought some of his recordings on itunes today. (I told you, I'm a JUNKIE!!!) Anyways, you should go listen to Kris perform Sinatra's The Way You Look Tonight...or the acoustic version of Heartless (not the studio recording one...just watch a video from the show) It's just so cool!! He just seems really down to earth and normal and somebody who I would actually want to buy an album of. And I sound like a creepy fan girl, so I'm going to end this post and go to bed and stop being ridiculous.

Apprivoiser

One of my favorite parts in Le Petit Prince is when he meets the fox, and asks him to play. The fox says he can't play with the little prince, because he isn't "apprivoisé". (That's tamed for you non-french speakers.) The little prince doesn't understand and the fox explains that to tame someone is to create a bond with them. The fox says that when he becomes tame, he will become unique in the world to the little prince, and vice versa. That's so beautiful to me.

I love hearing the words, "I love you."
I love saying them more.

Tu seras pour moi unique au monde. Je serai pour toi unique au monde.

I am so lucky.
