The Best Musical Numbers (in non-musical movies/television)

To me, musicals are wonderful.

But something equally as wonderful is a random

musical scene in a seemingly non-musical movie.

(granted it is performed successfully)

I'm not talking about those parts where a cute little song

plays but it isn't actually a part of the characters reality

but merely there for the background music. 

I'm talking about a full blown,

character-sings-the-words

musical moment.

(preferably accompanied by an awesome dance)

These are a few of the many wonderful

musical bits thrown into non-musical movies.

Personally, whenever I watch

 (and re-watch)

 these scenes I just can't help but smile.

I know there are many more scenes like these

but they are a few of my favorites.

Watch the movies/tv shows if you haven't.

Then you will understand the scene better and

(lets face it)

these are some pretty good movies/tv shows anyway!

Enjoy.

More Music

So recently I've begun to realize how I go through fazes of different favorite songs.

Sometimes I will go for days listening to the same handful of songs,

over and over and over again.

So I have decided to share my most listened to song list.

This list is completely random as far as genre goes,

you might not recognize some songs or bands

(or maybe you'll know them all)

but I think you should give them a listen, maybe you'll find a song you like.

(In advance I apologize for any swearing, strange videos, or complications with links.)

Enjoy!

Remember...?

Remember my 21 before 21 list?

 

Well I haven't gotten them all crossed off and I still have some time.

But here is what I've done so far.

(My location has changed...

 and I'll probably still be living in Kentucky when I turn 21...

 so I also crossed off things that would require me to be in Spokane.)

 

 

 

 

What I want to do before I turn 21:

1. Walking the entire Centennial Trail (in one day…I will accept biking as an alternative but I have wanted to walk the entire trail since my friend Heidi did it awhile back.)

2. See over 10 musicals (sadly, I realized I have only seen about five and that just wont do. Some of my siblings have seen musicals in Europe so I would accept seeing a musical play in Europe as have seeing 2 plays in the states.)

3. Go to Warped Tour (I’ve been to over 7 concerts…which is a lot for me and I don’t plan on going to very many more. However, before I retire my concert going years I would love to go to a Warped Tour with my favorite bands.)

4. Finish my AA (I am currently (roughly) 15 credits from getting my AA.)

5. Get a job in phlebotomy

6. See the Atlantic ocean (I was close once)

7. See/be on the Statue of Liberty, Big Ben, Eiffel Tower, Tower of Pisa, Coliseum (sp?), Old Faithful, and Golden Gate Bridge (I’ve seen the latter but wasn’t able to be physically on it. =/ )

8. Go surfing (despite my fear of water I have ALWAYS wanted to go surfing)

9. Get my drivers license (definitely) and learn to drive a stick (yup)

10. Get a real ceiling and real walls in my room! (Currently I have a make-shift ceiling of boards…with a lot of gaps and wood paneling walls …with a bunch of holes. So I would really like to dry-wall the entire thing…paint it and what not.)

11. Learn another language (this one is probably the least realistic one on here because I’m not talking about Spanish. I want to learn Latin or Portuguese.)

12. Get a canvas and paint my own picture (and hang it on my new walls!)

13. See a movie at a drive-in theatre

14. Read 100 books/novels (starting now with Count of Monte Cristo = 1)

15. Watch every episode of every Star Trek (I know I'm a nerd but when aliens attack and only the people who can pass a Star Trek trivia challenge get spared from a horrible death... you'll be sorry ;)

16. Drive to Seattle to get some Turkish Delight (sooo good + there are some good memories for me there)

17. Finish writing my book (and be certain of it enough to let my dad read it…yikes!)

18. Be full vegetarian for at LEAST a month (no...*sniff*...chicken)

19. Abstain (courteously) from fast food, candy, and soda for at LEAST a month (hahaha….ok I lied. THIS is the most unrealistic one on here)

20. Get and IPod, Zune, or MP3 (something that plays music)
