Tuesdays make up for Mondays

I want one.

Wednesday in Movie

Tiny Furniture

     What can I say? I love coming of age stories, and this one is about where I am in life right now: recent grad, don't know where I'm going in terms of career, yada yada yada. I'm generally drawn to the quirkier things in life and this movie seems to be something I might like.
    
     Growing up, my mom and I would rent movies every saturday, started pretty young, like 4th grade, watching not kid movies, but I so appreciate this because it really fueled my interest in movies and finding the good ones that resonate with me. I love story, especially depicted in the silver screen. My mom and I would go into the video store and on purpose find a movie we had never heard of and pick it for it's obscurity. You see a lot of bad movies this way... but for every gem we found it was worth it.

Ondine

Today got really cold and the cold I caught from this weekend only furthered my exhaustion (shame on me for not getting more sleep, just gotta lotta living to do).

Anyway this movie came out not too long ago and I've been meaning to watch it so when cold meets cold, my mood says yes to this movie. It's labeled in netflix under scifi which I thought was odd... still do now that I think of it. Colin Farrell plays this fisherman who catches not fish but a lady in his net one day. Seems like she just might be a mythical sealion woman and the story goes from there. There's something about movies set in old Irish fishing towns that make me believe a promising story awaits. This movie nearly does that, there's one part that's just too melodramatic that left me thinking "really?" but other than that I really did enjoy this movie.

What a delightful little place to find some solitude, Nest Rest, I thank you kindly. Ha! I love them! Really, that's just rad. What is it about us people that like to be inside something while still being outside. I mean we've been doing this for a while, look at balconies, I mean just recall one so epic as Romeo and Juliette's. Just want to point out that I know they were fictitious characters. Anyway I think these might beat hammocks, this is a bold statement but it's almost like you're personal little cloud and it doesn't look like it's waiting for the right moment to tip you because of your foolish balance and then look about unaware. Put a hammock in a cage with a person, hammock gonna win sucka. Any way I found these on this blog.

This movie is looking pretty epic, what with a visionary director Julie Taymor, and Helen Mirren and array of other actors, some known, others more “oh that’s the guy from…” I’m not so sure about Russel Brand though but I’m interested to see this move because I’ve only ever known the Wishbone version of The Tempest.

Monday Musings

I believe Nora Kirkpatrick is someone to keep your eye out for. She's a babe and completely talented and a bit of a Jill of all Traits and love me her fashion style.

I first saw her on Dorm-Life, this webshow that apparently only I think is funny but she certainly does give hilarious performances in this short-lived series.

I was then watching a live performance of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and recognized the accordian player in the back. Found out they were playing the next at the Fillmore to a sold out show but I managed to snag myself a ticket.

Maybe you've already heard of her or now you'll start spotting her in shows and magazines

Reason for Abscence

I apologize for the lack of posts... I pretty much was still processing the Sufjan Steven's concert. The concert itself felt like a reunion of sorts, good seeing old faces, listening to beautiful honest music. I could talk about his music and how it resonates with me all day but that will have to be another time.
