Confession 31 - The Great Gatsby - The Movie

Today I'm confessing about a little known secret of mine, I love the Roaring 20's and love the book The Great Gatsby even more. I can remember vividly back in high school reading it and reminiscing about the era, the characters, the style.... ahhh! And the makers of the movie have not left anything out! How can this be? And Leonardo as Gatsby? Honestly what is not to like.  The countdown is on... 10 Days ... these are going to be the longest 10 days!

Here is some eye candy for your pleasure. If you have not seen the trailer, it's worth watching too below...

Check out this headpiece that is worn by Carey Mulligan, LOVE!

I'm so {{Crushing}} .... ahhhh!

And the soundtrack, EPIC! It goes with the scenes so perfectly... I'm in love with Lana Del Rey's song, Young and Beautiful and Filters rendition of "Happy Together" ... I just can't get enough! The soundtrack is released May 7th!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked my latest confession!

Confession Five - Music Playlist

Well as promised, I'm confessing about some of my favorite songs right now. I'm still trying to figure out the format for these playlist posts, but for now, they will just be a mixture of all types of songs. In the future, I might label the playlists like party, dance, blogging, kids etc. But for now, it's just my favorite ones, the ones I can't get enough of and put on repeat and listen to like 10 times in a row! Yes, I'm very obsessive like that!

Follow me on Spotify... I use that service exclusively as it is not uncommon to find me downloading 10+ songs in a day and well, my iTunes budget is not that large.

Let me know your thoughts on these bad boys and if you "discovered"  a new artist or new genre you didn't know you liked. PS, if you follow me and see that "Justin Bieber" is in my most played collection, it's because my daughters have access to my account on their iPad and play it like 50 times in a row, really I promise!

Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you liked my latest confession!

Confession Two - Down Time from being Creative

Can you believe it? I'm on my second post of the year! Yahoo! I'm committed now, I have all my subscribers waiting to see what I write about next.  I'll be working on many creative projects this month, but for today I thought it would be good to show how I decompress from my "creative" day.  I have a hard time shutting off the brain and not thinking of "creative" stuff all day long.  If you are like me, everyday is hectic and planned to the gills with a "To - Do List" that is so long, I think any day now, my iPhone app is going to start charging me. In addition to exercising (I'm currently "off" the wagon) I confess that I do like watching well written TV Series to decompress. I guess you can say I'm sorta  a TV Junkie! It's just a great way to transport myself into another life, world and situation. It let's me really forget about my day and life for a short while and focus on something else.

Here are some of my favorite shows... And yes, I love watching many of these series on Netflix, back to back on my Kindle, iPad, Computer, Roku or Blue-ray... I'm committed you see?

Nashville - ABC What's not to like about country musicians living in Nashville, TN with the glitz and glam. Not to mention the amazing singers! My Nashville Soundtrack is one of my favorites right now (stay tuned to a monthly "playlist" post).

Scandal - ABC Being a Poli Sci Major, this series is riveting for me! It takes me back to my college days when I once contemplated working in Washington DC with a politician. The writing is amazing, keeping your attention from one episode to another. I couldn't watch Season 1 quick enough!

Homeland - Showtime If you are looking for an intense show that keeps you on your toes and wanting more and more this is the show for you. I absolutely love Claire Danes and the rest of the cast. It doesn't hurt that the show is highly political about a Marine who is thought to be "turned" into a terrorist when he is released after 8 years in captivity. A bit of romance and there you go, a fabulous show.

Mad Men - AMC Set in the 1960's, at a fictional advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York City. I love watching this with the hubs, we laugh and get shocked with every episode on what is considered appropriate during the 1960's  in a corporate environment. It's interesting to see the way women were treated back then.  If you are fan of this time period like me, then you will love watching Mad Men. Catch up on past episodes (originally aired in 2007) on Netflix and Amazon.

Of course with the new season of Downton Abbey starting and all the hype, I want to watch this series now! Any of you watch it?

Let me know in the comments what you like watching, I'm sure I could use another series or 2 to watch....  Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you liked my latest confession!
