For Leigh Brescia, Press "Ruby Rush"

So, I was doing some blog maintenance recently, and was surprised to discover that the number one search term linked to my blog is not, in fact, leigh brescia (or one of the many derivatives of this, including—but not limited to—brecsia, bresica, bresca, breskia . . . yeah, you get the point). Neither is it: YA author. Or: One Wish.

It is actually . . . (wait for it) . . . Ruby Rush. This, followed by: Feria R68.

I don't know what this means, but if you have stumbled across this blog because you're thinking about going Ruby Rush, you've come to the right place. I'm a huge Feria fan. I thought Ruby Rush looked great in my hair. I've since toned it down a bit, but summer's coming, so you just never know.

The post you're looking for (with pics) is here.

In addition to chopping off and coloring my hair in fits of angst, I also write books.

So . . . I'm glad you dropped in; the reason why doesn't really matter. And whatever color you opt for, I hope the result is everything you want and more.

Don't be a stranger!

Love,

~Leigh~

On American Idol

I honestly thought I wasn't going to like this season of American Idol. It's no secret that I had a married girl crush on Simon Cowell, so when he announced he was leaving, I was more than slightly bummed. I'm happy that the show has carried on, though, and that it seems to be doing well. Without him, this season is nothing if not nicer. Maybe less honest, but nice is good, too.

I was shocked with everyone else when Pia was eliminated, I hated to see Paul go, but I am totally pulling for James Durbin.

This doesn't mean I want him to win. In fact, it might be better for him if he doesn't. A record deal is as good as his, anyway, and I'd rather see him work on his own project/music without the white noise of the American Idol label.

I mean, James Durbin does Muse. Does it get any better than this?


(sigh) Emo angsty boy rocker. Are you really all that surprised?

Love,

Thought You Had a Blog Post, Didn't You?

APRIL FOOLS!

It's actually another one of those weeks. But the good news is, I'm working on a new project, and it's all bright and shiny and sparkly and really fun right now. Actually, it's a little scary. I spent a few minutes yesterday downloading some Hans Zimmer to my playlist. Note: the Inception soundtrack is great to write by.

Intense. Just like the story. Now I'm just waiting for the nightmares.

Have a great weekend!

Love,

A Quick Announcement and some Eye Candy

An announcement for you on this beautiful spring Friday. . . . And yes, that is my name nestled among the YA greatness.

Now that I’m caught up on sleep, I'm wondering if I can pull off two Twilight movie marathon weekends in a row. What? That makes me obsessed? Yeah, you're right. I may just have to resort to gazing longingly at RPatz photos while I'm drafting my "Firsts" story.

He's only like, four years younger than me, you know. I am totally *not* a cougar.

(sigh) But I *would* be. . . .

Love,
~Leigh~

Movie Marathon Update

So the whole Twilight weekend movie marathon was a huge success. Since I left you on Friday with my head exploding (figuratively, of course), I thought you at least deserved an update. Friday night I watched Twilight. Saturday night was New Moon. Sunday afternoon was Eclipse.

I did a little reading, but no writing. I tried to catch up on some housework, and then enjoyed the warm, spring weekend.

I completely forgot it was Daylight Savings weekend (I guess that's what happens when your head is exploding), so I was thrilled to discover on Saturday night that the time shifted back in my favor. Yes, I lost an hour of sleep (I actually lost a lot more sleep than that this weekend), but it was worth it last night around 7:30 when it was still light outside.

Do I feel rested and rejuvenated? No. But that's because my child decided to wake me up in the middle of the night like she was three months old again and on a feeding schedule. Today, I will be a zombie (because yes, sleep is that important to me), but at least I got my movie marathon in, and this makes me happy in so many ways. Yes: it's about the little things these days.

I also watched a movie last night with the guy I'm sorta married to but not allowed to talk about online. It's not my typical sparkly vampire/high drama/rom com kind of movie, but he swore up and down I'd love it. And he was *so* right.

I don't recommend a lot of movies on the blog just because they're so subjective, but, if you're anything like me, The Next Three Days will blow your mind.

Have a great week!

Love,

~Leigh~
