a blog on the utter futility of life today. i couldn’t have said any of it better myself.
close your eyes, we are blind- alaska in winter...
gia
i saw micheal cristofer’s gia (1998) last night for the first time. and goddamn. now all i want to do is dress in high waisted jeans and white oxfords. i never thought angelina jolie was worth a damn. but now, i believe. so beautiful.
pardon?
the us postal service announced recently that because of an overwhelming budget deficit and the hard economic times, they might have to cut a day of mail delivery.
CUT A DAY OF MAIL DELIVERY
and i thought mail service was slow already. this is only slightly terrifying. what could possibly go next?
guilty pleasures
-that new all-american rejects song “gives you hell” zomg SO GOOD
-melba toast with butter (i know, what the efff)
-being dubbed the “buxom blonde intern” at work. somehow totally ok.
-sitting in my darkened room (it’s been nothing but rain and fog here recently) and watching re-runs of crime shows
-snuggling up with a beer and my computer to watch scary movies

WHAT?
they (department stores) are giving away FREE SHIT. mind-blowing.
apparently the big fellows lost some high and mighty lawsuit and are being forced to pay it forward after years of over charging consumers:

this epically awesome deal lasts until monday.
so stop by your local macys, nordstroms, saks, or...
they call this the "anti-shoe"
goddamn. I’LL say.
i was walking around the mall today and my eyes were assaulted by this cretan of the shoe world. these foot pontoons by MBT supposedly do wonders for core muscles and posture.
very funny.

while we’re on the theme of star-crossed lovers,
dear chuck & blair,
you’re both horrendous people. i watch you each with unabashed glee as you tear through the lives of everyone close to you. as you squash your tiny little minions and indulge in all the most base and despicable activities your world has to offer. and i love, nay, ADORE each moment.
however, as i am sure you...

why can't kate and oscar just be HAPPY
ok, i don’t care who you are. where you’re from. what you do. what you did, for that matter.
you HAVE to love kate winslet. it’s a given. if you have a heart, every year you will sit plastered to a television screen during the oscars praying to the good lord that kate winslet will finally get a g-damned oscar. she wants it. we want it. i am partially convinced that the reason...

resolution
my child, you can’t let that heart of yours always be runnin ten steps ahead of your mind let it take a walk with you learn a thing or two.
take a deep breath. put things in perspective. realize beauty in everything, but understand that nothing lasts forever. don’t think too far ahead. live day-to-day. keep your faith. fall in love with yourself. let yourself be loved. let go.
these...

FACT
it is said that there are two kinds of people in this world.
those who love the stones and those who love the beatles.
i tend to gravitate towards the former. evocations of dirty bikers in the 60s v. lame beatles squares.
allergic to the counterfeit
i love the weirdest shit.
-boots. i don’t own a pair of sneakers. my idea of comfortable walking shoes are cowboy boots.
-the tape deck converter in my car. it makes everything that my ipod plays sound grainy as fuck, but i love it.
-beer. i tend to drink it like water.
-kerri russell. she rocks my socks. and yet she’s so totally… boring. and i didn’t even watch...

quarter-life crisis
i am 21 years old. how is this a problem?
jesus christ let me tell you.
you are only relevant to popular culture if you are between the ages of 16 and 18. everyone knows this. it is simply fact. unless your name happens to be britney spears or kate hudson, in which case you get to stay that age forever.
I AM BECOMING IRRELEVANT.
no peevy older guys wanted to see nudie pictures of me!...

it’s official. this semester will be a semester abroad.
that is, this will be a semester off. at home in good old raleigh.
as far as i am concerned, smith is the greatest place on earth. the people who have come to matter most in my life, i met there. it’s a beautiful, beautiful campus with amazing classes and equally as incredible professors.
the food, the people, northampton, the...

life is a damned funny thing.
tuesday, barack hussein obama was inaugurated. i cried throughout the entire television broadcast. raleigh was covered in a magical six inches of snow. my ex and i came up with a brilliant plan for long-distance.
to those political pundits who say that there is no change afoot, i beg to differ.
