It's strange trying to prepare to go to a new country. Or even just a new community. Yes, I have a Turkish dictionary. Yes, I've looked at pictures, read articles, and have even begun to follow a Turkish fashion blog (my addiction continues, thank you Sartorialist and thank you Erica Buher). But, no matter how many pairs of Istanbul-appropriate shoes I own, or how much advice I've gotten from well-seasoned travelers (read: Zoe Maani after losing her phone in the Holy Land), there is no way for me to picture what comes next.
The only thing, and I mean the only thing, that I am certain of at this point, is that I will not be able to youtube my favorite 90s music videos, oscar speeches, and inside the actor's studio clips. So, in anticipation of four months without groundbreaking footage of golden retriever puppies playing in a field, this is the start of my 'ode to youtube' segment. Soon, these links will read "information unavailable" or something of the like. Until that fateful day, here are a few gems - some of my favorite musical movie performances (well, the ones that I can think of right now).
Cheers...
1) To dreamers.
2) To romantics.
3) To self-deprication!
4) To rainy days.
5) To the middle-aged woman inside us all...
6) To sequels.
7) To those wonderful, familiar, unknowing moments before everything changes.
Hope you enjoyed them! Mostly, I hope that you lead an interesting enough life that you didn't actually sit and watch them all. I'll be spending the next month of my life waiting in vain for Josh Radnor to appear at Cup O Joe, so I have a valid excuse.
Ciao for now
