Just Another Day In Wonderland

So me again, so this week keeping with the One Tree Hill theme.
I have been keeping an eye on Bethany Joy Galeotti, as you probably know Bethany and her Family have opened a new restaurant in Battleground, Washington called Galeotti's.
They also have a blog for Galeotti's where they keep fans up to date on how the restaurant is coming along, and have polls asking people their opinions on new changes and ideas so go along and visit their blog let them know you are supporting them. http://www.battlegroundrestaurant.com/
Also Bethany has started up her own individual blog ready to keep fans up to date on her projects (Did u know she is adapting The Notebook into a Musical?!) keep an eye out for more information in the coming months.
You can follow Bethany at: http://www.bjgofficial.com/

So also this week SoGoPro released their second podcast so head over to http://www.sogopro.com to take a listen and catch up with up coming projects from Hilarie, Nick and Kelly.

Hello, Hello, Hello


So me again, sorry i no im rubbish at this whole keeping things up to date.
So this week whilst i have had some time on my hands i have been religiously listening to Kate Voegele's new album- A Fine Mess, and what can i say this album is pure genius, i love how she gives up the poppy piano and brings out the guitar giving the album a more gritty pop feel to it, very disco grunge :-).
To think how far this girl has come in such a short amount of time, from myspace to playing Mia Catalano in The CW's One Tree Hill.
My favourite track on this album is Manhattan In The Sky and although it is a piano ballad it is a beautifully written song.
You can just paint a picture in your head of what Kate is singing about especially the chorus when she sings.
"You are my Manhattan from the sky, You look so neat and tidy when I’m way up high, But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind."
The lyrics seem to come across as her comparing her feelings for someone to looking down at the skycrapers of Manhattan give us an interesting insight into her feelings.

In summary if your looking for something not quirky but different Kate should tick all those boxes, you could compare her to the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Marie Digby and Michelle Branch.
But i personally believe she is like them and more, she has a unique quality that shines out from the rest, and i dont believe she is done with her music creativity just yet and we will see a lot more from her.

So anyways me, i have been working loads and hating the airport even more as the days go on, I HATE RETAIL.
But i have just been on holiday to edinburgh, scotland and had the most amazing time even though it pretty much rained the whole time, the beautifulness of the city made up for the horrible weather, only problem was my 4 days went so fast i felt like i hadnt seen all of its greatness.
Anyways back to work, So i have applied to work in a care home for mentally challenged adults (fingers crossed for me guys) i have always wanted to work in the care and counselling department, so i hope i get it and then once i have got all my nvqs and diplomas i can hopefully apply for a job in the usa woo hoo..
so not much else to report hope u all have a fabulous week and keep u updated soon.
p.s: I am LOVING the new season of secret life of the american teenager
