I Just Need a Compass and a Willing Accomplice

I was going to post this on Monday, but I decided to put up the post about the Joyful Heart Foundation instead. So here it is:

P!nk is most definitely one of my favorite artists. I can't get enough of her music. I have all of her albums. Up until Funhouse came out, her first album, Can't Take Me Home, was my favorite of her albums. But Funhouse has so many great songs and has taken the place of #1 in my ranking of her albums.

Seriously, friends. I've loved all of her singles from the Funhouse album. However, my two favorite tracks are:

Crystal Ball (Funhouse Tour):


Glitter in the Air (Funhouse Tour):


And then there's this one:

Bohemian Rhapsody (Funhouse Tour):

Three great performances. Three great songs. The last song isn't on her album. Must just be something she does for her concert. Anyhoo, I can't get enough of this album (especially Crystal Ball), it's really the only thing I've listened to (with the exception of Tik Tok, Whatcha Say, I Gotta Feeling & Replay) for the past two or so weeks.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed. Later gators.

Title Song: 'Crystal Ball' - P!nk

I Like to Rhyme. I Like My Beats Funky. I'm Spunky. I Like My Oatmeal Lumpy.

Hmm, where to start? The 4th of July was pretty fun. I got to go home. This last weekend was the first time I had been home in about 6 months. It was nice seeing family again. I also got to hang out with my long-time friend Simone for the first time in about a year or so. She just recently finished basic training for the Air Force. It's always nice to see friends that are doing positive things in life.

Thinking about the friends I consider 'keepers', I have to say that I've got some pretty good friends in my life. There are those that make life tough at times, but there are the ones that I love talking to, seeing, hearing from, etc. I won't name names, I'm sure you all know who you are. If you don't, that's my fault and I'll be sure to let you know that I value our friendship :]

On another note, I'm getting worn down when it comes to babysitting, but kids wear you down fast--they're all go-go-go. My ideal summer would have consisted of me not working and, instead, just writing. However, that's not the case and since it isn't, I have to say I'm glad that I'm babysitting Tanner. He's such a great kid--he's definitely grown on me. Last week we went to the skate park in Newberg and I filmed Tanner and two of his friends (who are also really fun to hang with) skating and biking and made a video. I tried to post it on here, but it wouldn't let me (soon, though).

I bought DVDs for the first time in a long time and boy did it feel good. Last week I bought Little Miss Sunshine and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I heard that the latter was pitched to the production company as follows, "Six words: Will Ferrell as a NASCAR driver." (fun fact!--I'm full of them) Anyway, get this, I got them from the pawnshop in Mac and they were only 4 DOLLARS! I'm lovin' it :]

Order of Business #5: I've been reading a lot of blogs lately and I noticed that a common trend amongst those who had been blogging for a while was to have an ongoing post that consisted of 100 random facts about the person. So, since it looked like fun, I decided to do it, too. I have 4 or 5 written down already, I'll probably post that tomorrow. Be prepared to learn some fun stuff about me :]

Oh, I decorated my room. I think it looks good. Maybe I'll give a small tour in my first video blog. Not sure when I'll have that posted, but soon--this week hopefully.

Well, all you dudes and divas out there in Blogland, this is Jamika C. signing off. Remember to brush daily, keep your shoes tied and your nose out of the sky.

Title Song: I'll give you a special treat if you can tell me the name of the title song WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP! Since I have no way of knowing that you already know it, I'm just going to assume that you'll be honest.

So, over the past few days, I decided to watch 'Lost'. Since Brittany inspired me to watch it, I decided to chronicle it in comic form. Sorry for the cut an past job with the pictures...I don't have a scanner.

And now:




*The first word in the first panel should say 'Reluctantly'...it got cut off a bit.*













Drawing this comic was pretty fun, but time consuming. However, I might do it again sometime. Kudos to Brittany and Bryan for doing it on a regular basis.

Oh, Bryan, I'm not sure if you knew I decided to name the doll you gave me, "Li'l Bryan"...but, obviously, I did. :]
