just a quick little update - i finished my dog-walking goal (#96), did some more volunteer hours delivering groceries and helping out in line at the foodbank (#91), watched some more oscar winners (#33), and made another mix cd (#58)!
this mix was for my good friend and fellow woodlands girl emlyn. when i was home over the holidays we went to a sushi joint in lakeview called torajiro. it was delicious and affordable! but the background music distracted us from the meal a bit. we couldn't help but dance while we ate. it was a solid nineties house mix - the kind of stuff they played at the junior high dances. on our way out we asked if we could somehow get our hands on the disc - maybe it was part of the jock jams collection? but alas, our server told us it was a mix her friend had made. so, feeling nostalgic both for my st. mary's school days and for that sushi dinner, i put together the torajiro mix and sent it to an unsuspecting emlyn.
torajiro mix:
1. "what is love" - haddaway
2. "be my lover" - la bouche
3. "tonight is the night" - le click
4. "run away" - real mccoy
5. "show me love" - robin s.
6. "the rhythm of the night" - corona
7. "cotton eye joe" - rednex
8. "where do you go" - no mercy
9. "missing" - everything but the girl
10. "better off alone" - alice deejay
11. "this is your night" - amber
12. "total eclipse of the heart (dance mix)" - nicki french
13. "supermodel (you better work)" - rupaul
14. "another night" - real mccoy
15. "macarena (bayside boys remix)" - los del rio
16. "ooh ahh... just a little bit" - gina g.
17. "beautiful life" - ace of base
p.s. this makes a great gym mix.
p.p.s. in my search for nineties hits, i kept coming across this one song title over and over - "mouth" by merril bainbridge. i couldn't place it, so i had to look it up. turns out it wasn't appropriate for the torajiro mix, but twenty-somethings feeling nostalgic for the terrible, terrible pop songs of your youth, you are welcome!
i saw two more oscar-winning movies in the last couple weeks. jerry maguire (best supporting actor, cuba gooding jr., 1997) and avatar (art direction, cinematography, and visual effects, 2010). well technically, kyle and i watched the rifftrax for avatar. still counts. anyway, i liked both of the movies a lot. jerry maguire reminded me of a time before we all knew tom cruise was crazy, and avatar was soooo preeeeeetty. definitely wish i'd seen that one in theaters. that pretty much sums up my thoughts on these for now.
