A Super Awesome Summer Playlist

Hey gang! I'm going to start posting links to my monthly newsletter at my blog. If you'd like to have Nicki's News  delivered right to your very own in-box, you can sign up here. This month I'm sharing a super awesome summer playlist plus 5 things that are real in VIBRIZZIO & 5 things I WISH were real.

On a total side note - have you seen JURASSIC WORLD yet? I just did last night & it's soooo good. So, so, so good. When my kids were toddlers they'd watch our VHS tape of JURASSIC PARK over and over and over again, so it was super fun to sit w/ them as almost-adults to watch this proper sequel. I thought it did a great job of being fresh while still giving nods to the original. I already want to go see it again.

Clicking on the tapes take me to one song--"The Alternative to Love" by Brendan Benson. Maybe you need to switch to CD's. Who listen's to tapes anymore:)

I'll wait to see Jurassic World when it comes on DVD. I'm like that.

OH, forget what I just said. Now I see the entire playlist. I'm dumb! Actually as much time as I've been spending on YouTube I should know better.

Great list of songs.

I'm so excited to go see it. Took my kids when they were little and now my youngest son and I are going and he might be paying my way. It's fun to have the same interests as your children.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'd like to, though. I'm a fan of the Jurassic Park series.

And YAY for Dashboard Confessional!

Nice playlist Nicki because you can never have enough Depeche Mode in my book.

I've already signed up, because THAT'S HOW COOL I AM. LOL, sorry, my brain is fried these days. Seriously, though, I happily get your newsletter and I loved the playlist :)

Any playlist with Depeche Mode is win! They were my fave band in high school.

I haven't seen Jurassic World but definitely want to. Thanks for the recommendation.

Soooo good! I'm with Jennifer on Depeche Mode being a big fave, and that song especially. And Brendan Benson's "Alternative to Love" is too perfect!

As for the movie--OH MY GOD. I watched the entire trilogy in the week leading up to Jurassic World's release and could've cried, it was so good. I'm going to pretend 2 and 3 never happened and just jump right from the first to the fourth as two of the most enjoyable movies ever. I already want to see it again, too! And might I recommend Chris Pratt's recent guest appearance on the Graham Norton show? Check BBC America on-demand.

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
