This is beautiful. I love Mad Men and Nat King Cole, and Nature Boy is easily one of my favorite songs ever. I also found, a couple years ago, a collaboration between RJD2 (the instrumentalist responsible for 'A Beautiful Mine') and Aceyalone called 'Magnificent City' that has a version of A Beautiful Mine on it, and although it's hip-hop which I never really care for I really love the whole CD.
Btdubs, according to the comments section of youtube (yes, that's all the further research I've done) the vocalist, Allison Williams, is the daughter of Brian Williams... the news anchor.
We're going to see Atlas Shrugged up in North Canton today so my whole morning is devoted to that. And a little bit of music.

"On top of the mountain peak...
...where man speaks to himself."
I'm getting restless again. I really don't enjoy winter and I'm super excited that summer's coming soon. Spring is nice cause some of the snow melts but it always comes back before June. And always at some random time after it's been beautiful and 70 for weeks and then out of nowhere... snow. Effs up my sinuses and makes me want to drill a hole in my face... to relieve pressure, not for any sick benefit or anything.
I spelled 'benefit' wrong and the spell check immediately corrected me. And just now when I spelled 'immediately' I got it right the very first time. Yay me.
We saw Repo Men last night. When I first saw a commercial for it I was like, hey this seems very familiar... except there's no rock-opera music. The good news is that Repo Men is only similar to The Genetic Opera in that there's organ repossession. Other than that, totally different story line. And really good actually. Satisfying ending
The picture is pretty, which is why it's here. It calms me occasionally. The crane represents peace and longevity and if you make 1000 paper cranes you get a wish. It's also part of our wedding decor. Which I'm really excited about. Ooh! I'm making this a semi-wedding blog. It will chronicle wedding preparation, wedding day, and honeymoon... which will be in Wales. As well as random BS, which is to be expected from me. I'm all excited now. Take that restlessness!
