Movie Moment of the Day: Love Actually

So many wonderful scenes from this Christmas movie. I could totally post the "Cue Cards scene". However, I do love this moment, and could totally relate to Natalie. I mean, who wouldn't want Hugh Grant to have a hit man hunt down your asshole ex-boyfriend?

Song of the Day: Smile (Cover) by Madeleine Peyroux

Hello all,

I am constantly listening to the Edith Piaf or Madeleine Peyroux Pandora Station at work, and when I am home cooking. I love Madeleine Peyroux's cover of Smile. Enjoy!

I Miss New York...A Lot.

Hello,

I miss NYC so much. I haven't been in a long, long time. I miss the times walking through Central Park, avoiding and not looking down at the rats in the Subway (Yes it is a mastered art and it freaks me out every time.), Beer and Cheese at Astoria Bier and Cheese, the on top of the world feeling I get when I walk out of Penn Station with purpose towards my friends Amanda, Tina, Jordan or Jackie. I miss date nights in the city that turned into sleepovers, and made me feel so cool because I could truly say "I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep." I have been fortunate enough to attend baseball games at both Yankees stadiums, and both with very attractive gentleman callers. That was incredible.

Over the past year I was able to enjoy being an adult in the city, and rode a bicycle over the major bridges in NYC. Over 22 miles in one day, such an accomplishment I still gloat about. My first time riding a bike over the Queensboro bridge was such a rush at 11pm at night, and probably one of my top 3 favorite NYC memories.

I guess I miss the comfort more than anything. New York City is the best, why should't I miss it to pieces?

I cannot wait to see Postmodern Jukebox  again in November! Their version of Seven Nation Army by White Stripes is incredible.

Happy Friday Everyone,

Song of the Day: High by the Beach by Lana Del Ray

Aw, the truth is I never bought into your bullshit. So true Lana, this song is real life.

Song of the Day: Story of my Life by One Direction - New Orleans Style

I love this version, and so much fun to sing.

Song of the Day: "James" (Live) by Blue October

"I know there are some issues in life that you just gotta let go of, and there's one that I've never been able to, so tonight I am just going to let this shit go. This is a song about anger, this is a song about revenge, this is a song about hurting someone's feelings so bad.

This song's for you James one last time."

James, by Blue October

Song of the Day: Salted Wound by Sia

Hello all,

I obviously have become obsessed with the Fifty Shades of Grey Soundtrack. The mix from Beyonce to Frank Sinatra not only makes this an eclectic album, but every song is perfectly chosen and has an underlying passion running through it the entire time.

My new favorite song is Sia's Salted Wound.

Have a good Wednesday!

Opera Moment of the Day: "C'est Toi, C'est Moi" from Carmen (Met 2010)

Hello all,

My favorite moment of Bizet's Carmen.

Alone, she is confronted by the desperate José ("C'est toi ! C'est moi !"). While he pleads vainly for her to return to him, cheers are heard from the arena. As José makes his last entreaty, Carmen contemptuously throws down the ring he gave her and attempts to enter the arena. He then stabs her, and as Escamillo is acclaimed by the crowds, Carmen dies. José kneels and sings "Ah! Carmen! ma Carmen adorée!"; as the crowd exits the arena, José confesses to killing the woman he loved. (Wikipedia)

Dear Prudence (Cover) by Catherine Logan

Sunday April 29, 2015, Award Winning New Cavern Productions and I held a Beatles Concert to help raise funds and awareness for the Friedrich's Ataxia Research Alliance. Half of the proceeds benefitted those diagnosed with Friedrich's Ataxia, like my sister Christina.

I was so honored and thrilled to sing Christina's favorite Beatles song, Dear Prudence. Definitely an inspiration for all of those living with FA.

"The sun is up the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you."

Song of the Day: Creep (Cover) by Homeless Mustard

Hello friends,

Just the perfect song for my mood today. Plus Homeless Mustard is incredible on this cover, and I love the harmonica.

Song of the Day: What You Are (Live in Central Park) by DMB

By far, my favorite version of this song. His shouting and band is so on point. Especially the ending. I have always been used to listening to the Folsom Field version, but ever since senior year of college, this one has always stuck with me as one of my top 3 favorite DMB songs.

I still have yet to see Dave Matthews live. Maybe that can change this summer in June.

What You Are (Live at Central Park) by Dave Matthews Band

Have a good weekend,

Song of the Day: Postmodern Jukebox Cover of "Only One"

Yea yea I know, it's Kayne West. Not my favorite person, however I love this cover.

Only One - Vintage 1960's Roy Orbison Style Kayne West Cover Ft. Emily West

Hello 'Mari, how ya doin?

I think the storm ran out of rain, the clouds are movin'

I know you're happy, 'cause I can see it

So tell the voice inside ya head to believe it.

I talked to God about you he said he sent you an angel,

And look at all that he gave you

You asked for one and you got two.

You know I never left you

'Cause every road that leads to heaven's right inside you.

So I can say,

"Hello my only one."

Happy Saturday,

Catherine

What Does It Mean When You Dream About Your Ex?

Hello all,



Sometimes I find myself dreaming about Ex-Boyfriends. It's a little unnerving, and it's always the same person. And it's funny because I never want this person back. In fact I have no feelings towards him as I just feel numb. However I couldn't help but wonder what it meant to dream about an ex. Dreaming that they are in your life again, during the good times when everything was carefree and happy, and you see yourself looking saying "Run! Run for the hills!"



So I thought I'd pull my own little Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to see what it all meant.

Valentine's Day Quote

So true. Everyone who knows me knows I love Valentine's Day. There are many negative nancies who say to me "It's just another day" or "Why do you need a day to celebrate how you feel"? Coming from a girl who wears her heart on her sleeve, its just nice to have, for one day, everyone on my level. It's a day to tell those you love how much you appreciate them and care about them, in case they didn't know it already.

Valentine's Day is the best. It also means 3 days until my birthday....

Xoxo,
Catherine

TV Moment of the Day: Carrie the Masochist

It's funny how some people just pull you in and it's an unstoppable force. Some days are just incredible, you're glowing and everyone around you notices your non stop smiles. Then it changes so fast, and the person who gave you such a high can instantly make you sour.

Sex and the City

Movie Moment of the Day: The Tango from Scent of a Woman

Such an incredible scene from Scent of a Woman. I would give anything to tango, let alone with Al Pacino taking me around the floor.

Frank (Al Pacino) teaches the beautiful and charming Donna (Gabrielle Anwar) how to dance the tango.

Habits - Tove Lo Cover by Postmodern Jukebox

I love this cover of "Habits" (Stay High) from Postmodern Jukebox. Shocker. Haha but it's perfect for my life right now.

You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
Ohoh ohoh
High all the time to keep you off my mind 
Spend my days locked in a haze
Trying to forget you babe, 
I fall back down 
I gotta stay high all my life to
forget I'm missing you

Stay warm out there!
Catherine

Happy New Year 2015!

Happy New Year everyone!

I am looking forward to making this a healthy and happy new year. Finally a year for me to be a happy, single gal and truly take care of myself! I have a good list of New Year's Resolutions this year:

1. Drink more water! I used to rock 1.5 liters a day. I would love to get back to that and detox.
2. Travel, travel, travel. Whether its visiting Miss Lacey or finally taking a trip to Europe, I don't care just sign me please and pack my bags today!
3. Go camping, which sounds so nerdy, but it is something I have always wanted to do!
4. Surround myself with people who make me happy and smile. Life is too short to be spending time with people who bring you down, and make you sad.

New Year's Eve from Sex and the City: Movie

Have a happy and incredible New Year!

Catherine
