This is the strangest piece of news I have read, ever:

...And the Oscar noms, I guess:

These are just some of the videos we watched at work tonight, because we were so dead. They're better with the sound off except for the last one. Enjoy.

Nothing is funnier than listening to my four year old niece sing along to Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry"

Each semester I'm suprised at how little studying I actually end up doing for my finals. *ponders*

( that survey )

I feel Live Journal has silenced me.

Also I feel more disinclined to raise my head above the crowd. I have started to become increasingly comfortable with my norm.
This is not really who I am. I do not know how to reconcile this.
I miss having real debates/discussions with people.
I am trying to put everything together.


I feel like I am starting to "get it." "It" being anything and everything. I do feel like I am starting to put the pieces together, almost like an extremely slow epiphany. Everything from love, to childhood, to communication (or lack thereof), to history, to relations, to family, to the media, to the world in general, and to myself. But at the same time I feel the more I try to grasp it with my fingers the more I know I never will understand it. It's like trying to figure out the secret to the universe. I guess they say college is where you really start developing your beliefs and ideas and I feel that more than ever right now.

Wow, I have so much more to say.

Why is it that you never see any fat punk kids? Or any muscular punks? Is there some unwritten rule that all punks must be skinny? so that they can fit into those tight pants. Only skinny people get angry and wear 'hawks.

This movie wasn't supposed to be out till November!!

I'm seeing this Saturday day. No one's stopping me. I hate tech week.

Edit: I never did see the movie :( I'm renting it when it comes out. I'll buy it if I have to.

I'm creating an impromtu poll:

Who thinks I should dye my bangs black? For those who haven't seen me in a while, they're a bit long now, past my chin. And my hair is past my shoulders.

Someone suggested I dye the underside of my hair? Or tips? Thoughts? Either way I want some chunk of my hair to be black. Or at least really really really really dark brown.

If I already know your opinion on this you don't have to share. Unless you changed your mind. Or made up your mind.

I have fallen in love with Beirut. I need to get some of it, probably their first one Gulag Orkestar. I highly recomend them.

Last night I saw We Own the Night with Emily and Caroline.

*sigh*

I didn't like the movie. I kept waiting for it to get good but it never really did. There were good scenes. But that'a about it. The script was abhorrible. The acting was mostly good (minus Eva), but it was all kinds of dissapointing.

I know this will only prove my fangirlishness even more but I promise I am being objective when I say that the only saving grace was Joaquin. He really carried this movie on his shoulders. When I saw the previews I was already dissapointed because I started to form in my head exactly how Joaquin would play his character, but luckily I was only partially right. He showed so much range during the movie, I think it's the most range I've ever seen him play. Probably because this character goes through the most change than in any other movie. He starts off playing the smart ass who doesn't care (which I think he can play really well and wish he would do more of), then the wounded puppy, then vengeful, then finally at peace with everything. I'm always amazed at how well he uses subtlety. Oh and Robert Duvall and Mark Wahlberg were good too. Speaking of Mark, there was an obvious Departed feel surrounding the movie and Mark plays a cop again so the memory of his kick-ass character was fresh, but here he kind of took a back seat, which I was surprised about. In the end, I don't think I'll buy it.

This also marks the second movie I've seen that has something to do with what I'm studying in either of my psych classes. A little while ago I watched Transamerica and then the next day in social psych class we learned about transgendered and transexuals. Yesterday in personality psych we learned about PTSD and in the movie Mark Wahlberg shows clear signs of having PTSD.



Slumber party at Lucy's tonight? I think so.

Edit: My We Own the Night poster just fell down. I think It's a sign.
