Okay, just have to say I saw your user name in one of the groups and pissed my pants. I did a play in 5th grade and we had to sing a song called 'Twas Brillig' and it was gay as hell...
....Okay, I'm done now.
BTW, where did you live in Brooklyn? I have friends in Williamsburg.
Ok, semesters almost over. I have 2 more projects to hand in and then summer break!
It won't be much of a break though, I'm doing two internships. 40 hours a week and no pay. I was worried I wouldn't get any internships because I waited so long to apply and I got 2! Yay me! And they're the two I wanted the most. One... Read More
Now, a few semesters ago I wrote in my SG journal about a lil crush I had on a professor. I've NEVER had a crush on a professor, but professor Nina was too cute. I even put her in my "Current Crush" thingie. Well, not only does she teach my "Senior Seminar in Media Research... Read More
hiya!
have i mentioned i'm taking film 101 this semester
we watched the movie narc tonite. .
the problem with art type classes, is that the teachers are usually so . .umm. . passionate? about their medium, that's it just comes off as queso grande. .
everything means something. . yadda yadda , and then she shows us 'diggstown' . . and then discusses the color of the shorts that the fighters were wearing. .
i mean if you have to look that hard for meaning . . is it really worth it?
i think not. .
the teach' never even seen hedwig or whale rider . . .
she said narc was a better film than gangs of new york. . i've got 3 words to say about that . . bill the butcher. .
even though i live in california, not all of it is so metropolitan. . in fact, the closest 'film' theatre is 30 miles away . . which i'm sure she attends, and i'm sure she has alot of genre film history background, but she doesn't even have netflix!
she's so snotty . . i admit narc was flimed very well. . but it had a typical suspense drama ending. . which was basically disappointing, but that's not a knock, most movies like that do. .
but she goes on to say how the ending was so important because it materalizes the fact of "how far will you go for what you think is right' . . and i'm like . . well. . x-men does that too. . (and almost every comic book crossover movie out there) but at least you get to see new characters in those. .unlike narc. . where jason patric basically reprises his role in the movie he did w/ j j leigh . .whatever it was called. .
So, you'd think it being winter break I'd take the time to re-instate my social life and spend some time with family and friends. Alas, no. I've spent a good portion of my time working, and hibernating in my cave watching movies and downloading ridiculous amounts of music. I'm surprised the RIAA isn't breaking through my windows in riot gear right now.
I hope everyone had a great NYE. Mine was actually fucking fantastic. It was a simple little house party with tons of champagne. I went to my sisters house and a couple other good friends came over. Her boyfriend bought a bottle of champagne for each of us. He's a fucking lunatic. Plus we had tons of beer and various... Read More
Once upon a time I adored Christmas and the winter. Holy fucking hell I was a moron. Though, it was different when I was a kid. Today I got all my christmas shopping done in 4 hours and I had the urge to shoot myself every 4 minutes. Thank god for having a small family and no friends or it could have been a hell... Read More
I am currently working on my last term paper of the semester. Well...not currently....currently I'm bullshitting in my abyss of a journal. I wrote a killer introductory paragraph and thesis statement....about 4 hours ago....since then it's been just me and a blinking cursor staring each other down.
Ok....I know I'm starting to sound like the girl who cried wolf....I said I was fucked on two articles and I was wrong, I said I was fucked on my film project and I was very wrong....this time I am FER SERIOUS. This time THERE IS NO ARTICLE! I CANT GET MY INTERVIEWS! IT WAS DUE TODAY AND NEXT TUESDAY IS MY LAST DAY TO... Read More
link wray died.
did i tell you i met wesley willis in a bar in chicago once?
he was playing beats on his radio. .
and i told him. .
" i love UO"
and then he said
"i'm sure you do"
and then he walked away, sat in a corner and talked to himself the rest of the night . .
have you ever noticed when you're around crazy people (for lack of a better word or words) sometimes they shout out things, that seem to be answering the question you had in your mind at the time?
Rant reminds me of being in school (minus the specifics about film and interviews - I took environmental engineering). The worst part is when you're like "this semester will never end" and then you realize "fuck! the semester's almost over and there so much left to be done!" I guess you can never win.
I've read some of your other blog stuff on the site and I'm quite pleased with how much thought you seem to give things. It's rare to come across people who have anything important to say.
What's your favorite Roald Dahl book? I just read a biography about him. I think it was the anniversary of his death sometime last week...
....Okay, I'm done now.
BTW, where did you live in Brooklyn? I have friends in Williamsburg.
