♥LIST: July Edition...

{1}Crazy, Stupid, Love

I've been wanting to see Crazy, Stupid, Love for months. Uh, hello you had me at Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone(!) So opening weekend I took in a post work solo-matinee. I simply adored this romantic comedy about the ups and downs of love. The ensemble cast is as fantastic as you would expect from such a stellar lineup. It easily made it's way onto my All Time Favorite Movies List and also, the top spot on this one! To quote Entertainment Weekly, "You'd be crazy (and kinda stupid) not to love it" and to that I say "Ditto."

{2}Web Therapy on Showtime

I've been a fan of this web-series for ages now (see!) so imagine my delight when Showtime decided to turn it into a full-fledged half hour dark comedy. Lisa Kudrow has never been better as Fiona Wallice, an uncredited shrink who treats her patients via 3-minute web cam sessions. ("In the standard 50 minute ones, people would just go on and on about feelings and dreams and memories and past experiences that add up to a whole lot of nothing as far as she's concerned.") The series is highly improved and highly hilarious... and proves Dr. Wallice wrong. In some (nut)cases, more is better.

{3}True Blood: Season 4

They're baaaaaaaaaaack.
And I couldn't be more obsessed.

{4}Source Code

Jake Gyllenhaal. Okay, what more reason do you need to run out the door and head to your nearest Redbox? Okay well in the awesome thriller Source Code, Jakey (as I like to call him) goes back in time relives the same eight minutes over and over (and over) again in an attempt to stop a terrorist attack in my beloved Chicago. Oh and did I mention that it stars Jake Gylenhaal? Yup, be sure to check it out. I loved it!

{5-6}"Every Teardrop is a Waterfall"
Music Video by Coldplay
and "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall"
Cover by Robyn

When I first saw the music video for Coldplay's latest single Every Teardrop is a Waterfall, I got an instant grin on my face. It's so much fun and it just makes you happy. (So creative too!) And then I heard the cover Robyn did of said song a few weeks later. The grin got instantly bigger. (Adore her!) Watch video HERE and then Listen to Robyn's Version HERE.

{7}A Trip Down Market Street

I love San Francisco, it's one of my all time favorite cities. I am also very interested in history. So when I caught this CBS feature story on the Internet I was instantly hooked. A simple movie filmed more than a hundred years ago along San Francisco's main thoroughfare, Market Street. It is a time traveler's glimpse on the brink of disaster. Completely fascinating! Check it out HERE.

{8}The Professors of Drag U:
Season 2

I'm a bit sad inside to say goodbye to the queens when each season of Drag Race ends. RuPaul's spin-off show to the rescue! Not throwing shade or anything, it might not be as fantabulously fierce as Drag Race, but the likes of Pandora, Manilla Luzon, Raven, Morgan McMichaels, Jujubee and Ongina will keep me heading back to school for more. (Not picking favorites here or anything.) Class is in session.

{9}Birthday Presents(!)

To everyone who gave me a gift this year... I can honestly say that each and everyone of them were perfectly perfect. Thank you. Thank you.

{10}Youtube Time Machine

What would Youtube be playing say the year you were born? Or the year you graduated high school? Well now you can find out when you spend some time in the highly addictive YouTube Time Machine. I hung out in NostalgiaLand a lot this month (birthdays, oy!) and it was a fun browsing all kinds of videos from the past. An entertaining trip down memory lane awaits. Check it out HERE.

{11}Rango

There's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Rango!

{12}The Birdcage

Fun Fact: I first saw The Birdcage in 1997 while on a wholesome blind double date at my cousin's apartment at BYU and this movie really is the only thing that I remember from the evening. (Well other than the Denny's Moons Over My Hammy I ordered for dinner. Damn that ham was tasty.) Anywho, I'm not sure if The Birdcage made it's way on to any of their Love Lists, but I still enjoy it all after all these years. Thanks to Netflix Watch Now I watched it a gaggle times this month and giggled with glee each... What too gay? Oh okay, how 'bout those Dolphins? This one is a classic for sure!

{13}Lady Gaga on Howard Stern

As we've learned, no Love List would be complete without an appearance by Mother Montster. This month Lady Gaga appeared on the Howard Stern radio show. The 90-minute (!) conversation, complete with two live performances, was the most fascinating, detailed and insightful interview I've ever heard her give to date. And made me like her even more (if that's even possible.) If you missed it, here's your chance to catch it again. Thanks Internet! Listen to (fantastic) live performance of Edge of Glory HERE. Listen to FULL interview below:

{14}It's a Girl!

Even though my crystal ball always predicted pink, this month it was confirmed to the masses courtesy a very tasty cake at a cute gender-reveal party. Yes, my best friends are finally having their bundle of joy, later this year. She's going to be one lucky little girl, that is for sure... and lawdsy, she'll be here before we know it!
