Blah. For no reason (kinda?) I am feeling a whirlwind of emotions about everything and nothing at the same time. Ryan Adams and Noel Gallagher are the only two men I want in my life, ever [well hypothetically; hopefully it does not turn out that way in the long run -shrug-]. Speaking of Noel Gallagher… Oasis has brought back Live Forever, Roll With It, and My Big Mouth in the setlist. that’s so legit, and the night isn’t even over yet! BTW It’s a huge sin that I will be in the UK when Oasis are playing Manchester and I will not be attending. That goes against my religion essentially.
So on that note, kids, I will be HERE:
until the 13th/14th or something.
Hopefully this trip will be good and will take my mind off whatever. This post makes no sense and I am rambling. Have a good June.
while I’m gone, you can chuckle to yourself over the fact that I’m missing a serious opportunity.
Just watched Polanski’s “THE TENANT.” it was fucking awesome and ridiculous. It… could… be my favourite Polanski film. But anything by the man RP is attractive to me right now because I’m on a serious kick.
The plot is what’s best about the movie, but some of the imagery is fabulous too.
Oh I graduated yesterday. I was strangely unemotional about the whole thing.The only emotion I felt was ELATION. The lock-in thing was fun and I won a microwave and got the most obnoxious fake tattoo I’ve ever seen. I got home at 6 AM and slept until 3 PM.
I felt so awkward in those fucking hats. Who designs those things!?
Awkward tat [note dark circles under eyes from unwashed makeup]
that’s right my friends, that is something like a Dark Mark.
(also, if anyone downloaded THIS a while back, will you PLEASE upload it for me. i accidentally deleted the folder so I don’t have any of those songs anymore [most of them are favourites of mine] so please… please… please assist me!)
I’ve been busy obsessing over the most disjointed random things/people in the world. That’s what I’ve been busy doing instead of blogging on this shit.
1. Leonard Cohen. It’s because every time that doc Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man is on Sundance I watch it. It changes my life every time. I always love Leonard Cohen because he gets you at all points in your life. And as I’m going through a whirlwind of dullness and mood swings and everything, he is making the most sense. He tends to make sense a lot more than most people do. Something about Cohen’s voice and words and presence is just comforting. I almost wish he was my father.
2. Penelope Cruz. I would do the little accent mark but I have no idea how to. I finally saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona and she blew my mind. She’s just so sickeningly beautiful and amazing. I think I might add her to my extremely short list of people I’d go gay for. (and btw, the movie was really good too, but I’m biased since I love anything by Mr Woody)
3. Self portraits. I’ve been taking too many of them.
(me and Edith, I tried very hard to get her into the photo)
4. This fucking Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 USM Image Stabilizer lens. I NEED IT IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN MY LIFE.
I was playing around with it when Madelaine and I bought her new camera yesterday. It has the best focus of any lens I’ve ever had my hands on. I’m going to try and find a cheaper one somewhere (ebay? reliable y/n?) before I leave in 15 days.
5. Obsessing over the fact that in 15 days (give or take, too lazy to calculate exactly) I’ll be in London, Paris, and Brussels. Yeah. WHAT!? Thank GOD. I don’t even know what to do with myself. We basically have no plans for anything. I can find my own way around London by now so Madelaine just plans on following me around to places that are for sure hits, and then just hanging out. and then eventually celebrating her birthday by doing something dangerous and stupid most likely. Maybe I’ll try and see the family. Who knows. The only plans for Paris is the Louvre, so I can cry and recreate the race in Band of Outsiders while trying to not get kicked out (oh and look at epic art pieces, of course). I might try and visit the Cinematheque Francais so I can weep. No plans for Brussels at all except to get Belgian chocolate.
6. Tom Waits. I am going through a serious musical rut where he is basically all I listen to. I would marry Tom Waits.
7. and last: ROMAN POLANSKI. I finally got around to watching that documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired. I love him so much I refuse to believe he’s a pervert, but it’s obvious he got his groove on with that 13 year old girl, what Humbert Humbert would call a nymphet (that reference was necessary). She wanted it though, I guarantee it. Who wouldn’t want to get it on with a young RP?… Like, come on girl, just admit it, stop tormenting this little man’s soul. He’s a genius, a god of his art form, let’s allow him to frequent our country again and continue making spectacular films…. give it up girl!
Someone needs to explain to me how I haven’t seen a trailer for this or heard about this until today.
Um. what. GANGSTER MOVIE WITH JOHNNY DEPP, CHRISTIAN BALE AND MARION COTILLARD? What. the. fuck. dude. What else has been hidden from me for so long…!?
In other news, I saw Angels and Demons today and honestly it kicked ass. I would quite honestly marry Tom Hanks.
FREAKS. THE. FUCK. OUT. this movie will be too good. I don’t even think I can handle it.
omg. a film about film concerning Fellini and starring Daniel Day-Lewis who sings and dances and looks hot all the time. as a serious fangirl, movie industry: I SALUTE YOU.
In other news, you don’t know what I would do to have this sequined blazer. and I hate sequins.
