The Lovely Bones

A young girl who has been murdered watches over her family--and her killer--from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.

Alice Sebold’s novel, The Lovely Bones, begins, “My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973. My murderer was a man from our neighborhood. My mother liked his border flowers, and my father talked to him once about fertilizer' ” The Lovely Bones is narrated by a suburban teen who has been brutally raped and murdered by a neighbor. After the police confirm Susie’s murder, her family struggles to cope with their loss and with the unanswered questions surrounding Susie’s death.

As Susie Salmon narrates from heaven, everything she wants appears as soon as she thinks of it - except the thing she wants most: to be back with the people she loved on earth. From heaven, Susie watches. She sees her happy suburban family implode after her death, as each member tries to come to terms with the terrible loss. Over the years, her friends and siblings grow up, fall in love, do all the things she never had the chance to do herself. But life is not quite finished with Susie yet.

The Lovely Bones is a luminous and astonishing novel about life and death, forgiveness and vengeance, memory and forgetting. It is, above all, a novel which finds light in the darkest of places, and shows how even when that light seems to be utterly extinguished, it is still there, waiting to be rekindled.


Just like everyone says, I advise everyone to read the book before watching this movie. The movie is filled and intertwined with symbolism that I give complete respect for. It has an eerie feeling that I always look for and enjoy. Although it surprised people, I loved the creativity and symbolism in the scenes of Susie's 'in-between'. This movie is the definition of 'artsy' and in my opinion, a purchase well made.

OK GO!

This band has more than enough charisma, a great sound, and fantastic music videos. OK GO! are on the top of my, 'I don't know how to say this, but I want to be your best friend,' list, and I know they'll be on yours once you watch their videos.

Dear Jack

Dear Jack opens on the day Andrew McMahon is diagnosed with Leukemia and continues on through the life-changing and intensely personal events that follow. The film also includes flashes back to Andrew’s childhood, the making of the Jack’s Mannequin album and his collaboration with Tommy Lee, as well as rare live footage and the chronicling of his relationships with two very important people in his life, his sister and her best friend. Dear Jack is a raw look at the battle that is Leukemia and the hope that can be found in hard places.

Unfortunately they are already sold out of DVDs and you can now only buy it on iTunes in the States. So I am still waiting for it to come to Canada.

Vintage Camera Display

A fun idea by Tim Melideo, where he displays his vintage cameras on his wall. This will definitely be considered when I decorate my future house.

Bubble Wrap Calendar

I found this neat idea from the Nylon Magazine, and you can either order it for $29.99 or you could easily make it yourself. I dont know if I would be able to control my obsession by only popping one a day, but it would take some strong discipline. It would be smart to have some extra bubble wrap laying around for your spontaneous splurges.
