oh my god, i'm getting my ass over to Future Shop first thing tomorrow. why? i just caught a video for Amerie's 1 Thing (Remix) (featuring Eve) ... and wow. i was blown away. not only by the hyperkinetic music, which is outstanding, but mostly by Amerie's voice and what she does with it. the song actually had me enthralled and excited. read a couple of write ups on the album and man, i'm buying it. looked at Futureshop.ca and, bam -- they've got it for $9.99 :) i just remembered glancing at it last week while i was at the store but wasn't sure if she wasn't an American Idol castoff. damn, hot damn. i haven't had my mind blown as ferociously as this in a long time. i'm not saying it's the best song ever written, it's not. but her singing, damn, it felt like an awakening to something new and exciting. and i haven't been able to say that (hell, let alone even notice it in anyone else) in a long ass time. (please don't point out similarities with Crazy in Love as they are too easy to make. Rich Harrison wrote and produced both songs, yes, but the music was more exciting than the singing in the Beyonce song. here Amerie did her homework and effortlessly delivered astoundingly original vocal arrangements, making the song truly her own. maybe i'm overhyping it a bit (i'm excited, can you tell?), but damn, the song had me enthralled, goddammit!)

i went to bed incredibly late last night (this morning, actually. i could see light outside, goddammit. haven't done that in years). i woke up around 11 because i wanted to get my ass out to run my errands before the day was over. now they're done. i'm not hungry, maybe sleepy. dunno if i'll even attempt going to bed, though. i should because if i don't i'll definitely sleep on one of my films tonight. lol.
ah, the weekend is here, though, and that feels nice. i'm not complaining :)
