The first chunk of my day was spent in bed reading all about American history—this was a HUGE portion of my day, people. Finally, after hours and hours, I get out of bed for what? More schoolwork. But you know what happens the second I get out of bed and eat a salad and get [...]

‘Alone in the Wilderness’
Posted in Film, Nature, Random, Television, Thoughts on March 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So I’m channel surfing, right? And I come across this show on PBS that looks kind of interesting, just about a guy living in the wilderness (very Walden), so I keep half-watching it, writing on my laptop at the same time. Then I decided to look up the show and it’s called ‘Alone in the [...]
Gossip Girl Insomniac.

I can’t sleep. I have yet another migraine. I feel completely seasick. I don’t know why this happens and it’s incredibly frustrating. I have given in to the evil trashy tv monster and I’m watching gossip girl re-runs. I cannot help it—that show is so interesting and addicting. And I love their clothes… and their intricate [...]
“…and the hours after that…?”

Yesterday was exhausting.
I’ve found a new favorite movie. It is called ‘The Hours’, and stars Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, and Nicole Kidman. I’ve watched it twice now, and the actors portray the characters in an incredibly captivating way—you really don’t want to take your eyes off the screen. I am going to read ‘Mrs. Dalloway’ [...]
Home Movies by Pelosi.

This past summer, I watched ‘Journey’s With George’, a home movie by Alexandra Pelosi. I thought it was a big pathetic waste of time, done by a big complainer. Helloooo Ms. Pelosi, but no one is MAKING you ride on that crappy press airplane. Ha, ha. But when we watched segments [...]
Miss Austen Regrets
Posted in Books, Dizziness, Film, Health, depression on February 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I just finished watching ‘Miss Austen Regrets’ on PBS, because somehow I let myself begin watching Jane Austen Masterpieces on PBS. And, against my mother’s wishes, watched the depressing movie on Jane Austen, the lady who could “write the recipe book but couldn’t cook”. I told my mom that watching the movie would be like [...]
New Songs, Donnie Darko, and Beatnik Cafe

What do you do when you have eleven new complete(ish) songs and you discover you don’t like any of them anymore? So you don’t feel like spending a large portion of time recording them? Write some new ones. I guess? Too bad my standards are so much higher now. :-/ I’m not sure what to [...]
The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Posted in Film on January 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Let’s just say that whatever you are expecting before you watch ‘The Devil and Daniel Johnston’, it will not be that. UNLESS of course, you expect it to be wonderful and horrible, beautiful and ugly, and, also, confusing and perfectly clear. Well, before I watched it, from seeing a preview, I expected it to be [...]
La Vie en Rose
Posted in Film on January 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t know what got me started on Edith Piaf. She sings in French (she IS French), I don’t know what she’s saying, she’s hideous, and she’s beautiful. I don’t remember when I started listening to her… a couple of years ago. The recordings sound old and seasoned (because…they ARE), and I am a bit [...]
