fffffilm.

Toronto, anyone?

we're starting a book club.

Kicking and Screaming (1995). Directed by Noah Baumbach. BRILLIANT.

It's wry, dry, chopped up humor. This film would have meant so much less to me two or three years ago, but now, at 21, it's unbelievably fitting. It's the ultimate I'm graduating/have graduated, wtf do I do with myself flick. This is where I'm at, and I know a lot of us are in the same boat.

Do me a favor, and see this movie; the trailer up top doesn't do it justice. I think it'll be one that I can see time and time again, while always managing to glean something else from it. The dialogue hits in such a way as to catch you off guard. It's always gonna be fresh :)

eek!

You know that track by White Lies that I posted a few days ago? Apparently the music industry gods did not want that one out on the nets... my post was deleted! Rundown of Revolutionary Road and all :( I'm slightly miffed - I didn't have that saved anywhere else unfortunately. Ohhh wellllll.

Merce Cunningham.

I wish I had pursued ballet beyond high school. Not so much a regret, just a passing notion.

Click! & connect to shots of Jenny Lewis from Thursday night. Thanks go out to ultra8201. Thank god someone had their shit together and brought a camera ;)

Happy Saturday! We're grilling out in a little bit, maybe doing some hot-tubbing, and quite possibly watching Gremlins (and Gremlins 2?). Someone made an exceptionally poor decision and sold their copy of Gremlins back to Half-Price Books. Seriously, people. That is a movie that you simply do not sell. I also picked up Mulholland Drive (old favorite, gotta love Lynch every once in awhile), a collection of essays by Klosterman (LOVE him, duh SD&CP!), The Reader (yes, I keep reading books that have been turned into movies, which also just happen to star Kate Winslet - is there a problem with this?), and We Were the Mulvaneys (impulse buy, award winner, just embarrassed that it was an Oprah selection).

IMPORTANT UPDATE - As I realized my post count wasn't adding up correctly on the left-hand side of this screen (i.e. it didn't equal the 100+ my Blogger dashboard had been telling me I had), I knew something somewhere was at fault! I went back through the post editor and found that there were several drafts saved that were counting as "posts." That issue is now corrected. Ahhh the embarrassment! My head was, quite obviously, in a box.

Guess what? THIS is post one hundred. Yep.

viernes.

Yes, that is my brother at Video Games Live in Houston.

It's FRIDAY!!! ... which is somehow not nearly as great as it is during the school year, but it's still mildly pleasing all the same. I'm not sure what's on the docket for tonight; there's no way in hell it could possibly top last night, though. AFS hooked me up with FREE tickets to see Kaki King and Jenny Lewis in a private concert over at The Parish. The event was sponsored by Converse and Target in conjunction with the Wanderlust Festival, taking place in Lake Tahoe this weekend. What a treat. It was a super chill event - decent, but not overbearing sized crowd, minimal hipster-douchebag vibe, free drink tickets, awesome friends, etc. Could not have gotten much better. Only one negative - I neglected to bring a camera... and so did everyone else that tagged along with me. Fuck me? I was a few inches away from Jenny Lewis! Def could've taken some awesome shots. So it goes.

I'm finishing up my morning shift at AFS. Sooo tired after last night. Early mornings are not my thing. Did I mention that once we were back from Jenny Lewis, Kim and I decided to watch Mysterious Skin? Fabulous idea, considering I had work this morning. I don't have time to write up anything on it now... but I want to. Sheesh. Incredible, crazy, disturbing flick. Wow.

catch ya later~
