Timmy's Christmas Song

Tim Halperin is releasing a Christmas song this week on iTunes and I'm here to promote it, just like I've been promoting him for over a year! Go Tim!

There are three versions, "Merry Christmas," "Dallas Christmas," and my favorite, "Texas Christmas." How cute is the cover art?



I suppose this could have waited until tomorrow's Music Monday, but I was too excited to wait! Don't forget to buy it on Tuesday on iTunes!

Music Monday

Tim Halperin is in jail until tomorrow morning because he'll be out of his Idol contract and his album, Rise and Fall, releases at midnight tonight on iTunes (hint: CHECK IT OUT)! If you're in the Dallas area he's at the Legacy shops in Plano if you've got some free time in the next 23-ish hours, go check him out! And if you're not in the Dallas area, just watch him on Ustream!



Non-Tim music rocking my world these days:

What the Hell

I saw this on iTunes a few nights ago in the top downloaded songs and then I heard it on the radio the next day or so and it's safe to say I'm a little obsessed. Avril Lavigne seems to always understand me when she releases a new album and with this song being so awesome, I can't wait for the rest of this album.



What do you guys think? Love it, hate it, not sure about it?

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It's October! Which means Breast Cancer Awareness Month! One of my friends from TCU is the very talented Tim Halperin. For the Frogs for the Cure game he has written a song called "We Fight Back" which he will be performing during halftime at the game on October 16. I'm so bummed I have to miss his performance because he is SO talented. The song is on iTunes TODAY and it's one of the remaining 99 cent songs on iTunes AND 70 of those cents benefits the Susan G Komen Foundation and you just can't pass that up! It's a GREAT song for an even GREATER cause. I hope all of my readers will be checking it out ASAP.

Emmy Noms Are Out

I always get a little anxious when I know Emmy noms are about to be announced and today's that day! Since falling in love with So You Think You Can Dance in 2007, I have watched some of the best choreographers and dancers in the world dance on live TV every Wednesday and Thursday night for the past 4 summers (and that one fall season last fall). Last summer, the amazingly talented Mia Michaels choreographed a contemporary dance to Sara Bareilles' "Gravity" about overcoming addiction. The dance featured two of my favorites from the season, Kayla and Kupono. Watch and be amazed.




Oh and PS - I got my stuff transferred! Yay!

Transferring iPod/iTunes

You'd think after doing this two other times, we'd have it down, however it always seems to be an ordeal no matter what: Transferring my iPod from old computer to new computer. We had to do it in May 2006 when I got my laptop for college. We had to do it in May 2008 when I got a new laptop after the first one crashed. And now I have my wonderful MacBook Pro and we're trying it again. For some odd reason it gets harder every time we have to do this. This time my mother is making an appointment (for $29 might I add) to speak with someone AT APPLE to get us through this. I tried Monday night and it ended in tears. My mom tried last night and my HP is still canceling 12 hours later. I'm thinking this time the issues are from my crappy HP laptop since it obviously has problems, however we've had issues transferring the music before so it's not just the laptop.
Either way it's REALLY obnoxious. After we get this down I will never EVER touch that HP laptop again. Nor will I ever purchase anything HP again. Until this laptop's issues began (I think they really started in April 09), I had a very high opinion of HP, however all of this has made my opinion do a complete 180 to loathing. Now I'd rather have a Dell and I don't think Dells are very high up on the PC totem pole... But I shouldn't have to worry about any of this with my amazing MacBook Pro.
All that I really miss from having a PC is the home, pg up, pg down, and delete buttons. Yea, yea, hitting the up and down arrows work like the page up/down arrows to an extent, but those buttons put a little umph in scrolling the page. And the home button would take me all the way to the top of a page and the beginning of a line of text... I'll get used to it soon, I'm sure.
