Goodbye, Men in Trees.

The Ben Arthur song Tattoo was featured on ABC’s (now canceled) Men in Trees in the episode Wander/Lust. Have a listen to jog your memory. He’s brilliant. Although, it’s another song of his that I am absolutely in LOVE with, you see. With the cancellation/loss of this show, and others (like Angel, Veronica Mars, Firefly), this song seems kinda perfect. I just have one loose end, excuse me….

Dear Men in Trees,

I didn’t give you much of a chance. You see, our schedules never quite added up right. As flimsy excuses go, I know that’s a weak one. Honestly, when I saw you - I was interested. I thought you looked like someone I knew in high school but never had classes with so I never bothered to talk to. Now that you’re gone, maybe we can reconcile over Netflix. I know this letter might seem like the yearbook message that Ben Covington left to Felicity Porter (Felicity) but I will not be following you to college across the country. That’s just now how I roll. But I’ll look for your DVDs, I really do promise. I know the Gossip Girl season one DVD comes out like, tomorrow, but you come first for me.

XO,

Jessica Rae

Ben Arthur - Keep Me Around:

Keep me around
My whole life long
And when I’m gone
Don’t you bury my bones
Keep me around

Knit a sweater from my hair
String a necklace of teeth
Or just lean me there
On the back porch where
I can feel the breeze

Chorus

It’s not that I’m jealous
I’d just make a lovely stand for umbrellas
And you can toss your keys
Into the caps of my knees
When you come back from town

Chorus

Pickle my fingers in liquor
Leave them roll in a drawer
And you can hang your clothes
From hooks made of my toes
On the back of the door

Cool Stuff on the Internet, ‘Cause Boy Am I Obsessed:

1. This website: DownForEveryoneOrJustMe. It lets you find out, well, if a certain website is down for everyone or just you and your computer/connection! Huzzah. Technology is great.

2. PassiveAgressiveNotes.com

3. ThePioneerWomanCooks.com I’ve never made Risotto but with this recipe I might have to try making it for myself.

4. The AChairFantastic blog is very cool. (No, I’m not only partial to sofa’s!) I especially love the post here about Aiveen Daly chairs.

5. Alright, this isn’t just online, but the book Colour: Travels Through the Paintbox by Victoria Finlay looks amazing.

Color: A Natural History of the Palette (Same book?) / Colour: Travels Through the Paintbox

Jewels: A Secret History

Also I wanted to mention that Sofachip has a brand new layout (blue!) and a new header (I made it, praise me!) and all that, so go check it out…now? Tada! We are the same site, we just got some Botox! You’ll want to note that you can now search through every tag we have. So if you are on a page about Gilmore Girls but you’d like to go look at posts about Bones you can easily find them all.
