I've been in a very romantic mood today. I watched "500 Days of Summer," which featured Carla Bruni's "Quelqu'un m'a dit," which in turn led me to Louis Armstrong's "La vie en rose," and Genius on iTunes recommended this song to me! It was love at first sound. This is the type of song that plays in my mind whenever I'm in love. I'm such a textbook-romantic!!! The truth is, I don't even understand why! You would think that someone as intellectually-oriented as myself would be more logical and whatnot, but I become such a corny individual when I'm in love. Just listening to all this music, I was already writing out a fairy-tale romance in my mind, which would take place in a Parisian cafe close to the Eiffel Tower, naturally. Long story short, because I love to sing, I hunted down the instrumental track for the song and already recorded my own version. (It's what I do.) And that, along with a 2-mile walk, was my evening.
In other news, it's October!!! Which means that Halloween, my second favorite holiday, (with my favorite being Christmas) is just a few weeks away! I went grocery shopping yesterday and was thrilled to find that they had Pumpkin Pie Spice. One of the reasons why I love this time of the year is because the seasonal lattes become available at Starbucks, and the Pumpkin Pie Spie latte is my favorite one. Since we don't have Starbucks in Honduras, I can make my own version of it at home now that I found this delicacy. On top of having an exquisite taste, I adore how it smells! For the next two weeks, I'll be doing a carb-free diet, which I'm actually looking forward to (well, not really, but I am looking forward to the massive poundage I'll surely shed while on it.) Before you say anything about how eliminating carbs isn't the way to go, remember that I do have a nutritionist, and she was actually the one who suggested it. Since I'm not working out as much (because of my knee), I'll do the low-carb thing to shock my body and force it to lose weight. We'll see how it goes.
Anyways, check out my version of la chanson here:
Melody Gardot - Baby I'm a fool
All the time I felt you gave your heart, I thought that I would do the same for you,
Tell the truth I think I should have seen it coming from a mile away,
When the words you say are,
Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall in love
If I gave a thought to fascination I would know it wasn’t right to care,
Logic doesn’t seem to mind that I am fascinated by your love affair,
Still, my heart would benefit from a little tenderness from time to time, but never mind,
Cause baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall in love...
Baby I should hold on just a moment and be sure it’s not for vanity,
Look me in the eye and tell me love is never based upon insanity,
Even when my heart is beating hurry up the moment’s fleeting,
Kiss me now, don’t ask me how...
Cause baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall,
Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall,
And I would never tell if you became a fool and fell in love.
