ROMANCE!

  So this week I had to take my state exam things in Algebra 1, Literature, and Biology. I think I've mentioned this about a kazillion times before, but I'm cyberschooled, so I had to actually go somewhere to take these exams.

  On one of the days, I noticed that a teacher brought in some old comic books for us to read when we were finished with our exams. So I took a look at them... Oh my gosh were they weird...

   First of all they were from the 70's... Then I noticed they were romance comics. O_O Really, really weird ones. One of the girls in the comic books was wearing a fuzzy bikini. It looked like she skinned a muppet!

                   

   In case you're interested, the muppet bikini is in this issue of "Career Girl Romances". You can find it on eBay for about $10.

                  

  The other one I looked at was called "For Lovers Only" and one of the stories was about this girl that fell in love with a cop. She broke up with him when he GAVE HER A SPEEDING TICKET. The story lines were so hilariously bad and cheesy that I am seriously considering buying some on eBay.

   In a different romance comic (I can't remember its title) the girl was all "Oh, Brad! Before we continue in this relantionship, I must admit something." Now, you're expecting her to say something like she murdered someone, or she has a third arm or something like that, but she says, "I don't really work at the casino! I work at an office! I only lied to make myself sound more interesting!"

                           *facepalm*

  They guy says something like, "It's fine, baby. I'll always love you!" and then they smooch in the sunset. Oh, people.

Whoa! Eclectic riff!

 How do you like the new design of Holly's Menel? I think it turned out great myself. I've been listening to lots of Jimi Hendrix lately and I was inspired.

 Speaking of which, I'm going to share some songs that I've been listening to lately. I just love making these lists. This is a rather short one, but I recommend listening to the songs. They're just great.

3.Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix

This is one of Jimi Hendrix's most popular songs and I can see why. It's just fantastic. Dat guitar at the beginning...

2. Love is Blindness - Jack White

Overall, I must say I'm pretty disappionted with the soundtrack for the Great Gatsby. I read and LOVED the book, and I just can't see Jay Z music in the movie adaptation. BUT, there are two stand out songs in it. One of which is Jack White's cover of U2's song Love is Blindness. I love both verisons of the song, but I love how raw and emotional Jack's cover is.

1. Over the Love - Florence and the Machine

Over the Love is the other song I loved from the Great Gatsby soundtrack. This song is perfect in so many ways. It sounds lovely and so emotional even to people who haven't read the Great Gatsby. If you have read the Great Gatsby, you'll find so many references. The green light is an obvious one, as is the symbolic color yellow. Whoever wrote this song, I salute you.

   In Peppermintsoup news, we filmed two videos a few days ago and we're working on getting those up. We have sooo many video ideas, so don't think we've left! D: Ashley's just been extremely busy with schoolwork and trying to keep her 4.0 GPA. Everyone here cannot wait until summer... Ugh. Let's just all push through these next weeks and we'll make it! I can already hear the lawn mowers running over flip flops...

My Favorite Songs (Month of November)

 Hi, everyone! It's been a while since I posted last! Anyway,  today I would like to share the songs I've been listening to this month. Here they are: 

5. Paul Revere - Beastie Boys

    xD The insane lyrics and the amazing beat is why I really like this song. I don't even like rap. Gah, I love the Beastie Boys!

                             

4. Into the West - Annie Lennox

   This song was used in the credits in the last Lord of the Rings movie, the Return of the King. It is so beautiful. We've actually used it in a few of our videos. It was based on Namarie, also known as Galadriel's Lament, and I also think bits of it come from Legolas's song at the end of the book. Even if you're not a fan of LOTR, you can still enjoy this song to the fullest.

                                    

3. When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin

  Oh, that drum beat! This song is just a classic. I could listen to it all day! :D

                                   

2. Be Chrool to Your Scuel - Twisted Sister and Alice Cooper

 The video for this is extremely hilarious, and the song is fantastic. I think Twisted Sister and Alice Cooper is a match made in heaven! What I find really funny is the fact that this video was banned from MTV.

                                       

1. Too Close - Alex Clare

 You probably know this song from the Internet Explorer 9 commerical. I looked it up online, as did a lot of people, and found it is called Too Close. I love Alex Clare's soulful voice paired with the dubstep. I'm not usually a fan of dubstep, but his voice makes it amazing!

 

I hope you enjoy the beautiful music!

Ooo! Spooky New Background!

  I'm not sure if you guys noticed, but Peppermintsoup has a new Dolloween themed background. Here it is:

  
It was edited on PicMonkey; our new photo editing site of choice since Picnik was closed. They have some nice Halloween editing tools open now.

   On the subject of Dolloween, I am happy to announce that we will be doing our first ever Dolloween video! Last year, we joined in November, so we didn't get to be around for all of the spooky festivities. We came up with the video idea last night, and we're going to start working on it very soon!

     Another thing before I end this post. We're going to work on a new AGMV as well. The song is a secret for now, but I'll give you a hint. It is by Florence + the Machine.

                     Have a Happy (and Haunted) October,
