Across the Universe...spectacular!!!

Across The Universe is by far the most amazing movie of the year. No joke, Jim Sturgess is brilliant, Evan Rachel Wood is unbelievable...way to go Julie Taymor for being an ill director and making an Oscar worthy musical that isn't based on a Broadway musical. PLUS the whole thing is made up from Beatles music....and it has Bono...where could you possibly go wrong. Everyone should see it...honestly iconic!

"From Russia With Hate"

Probably one of the most incredibly disturbing things i have seen on Current TV, but none the less and unbelievable documentary. My hat is off to Christof Putzel, who went above and beyond to dig up this overwhelmingly controversial story. Watch it, it's necessary. Honestly...what is the world coming to!

ps...can't watch it til the 16th...so if anyone does read my blog ever, wait until then to go to the site.

the real originators

so i might just be incredibly pathetic. i realized that i am kind of obsessed with what celebrities like. for example only reason i started listening to deathcab for cutie is because of the OC. Love Andy Warhol, but would i have if i hadn't seen Factory Girl? Want to dye my hair, is it because I want to or because celebrities do it? i used to think i was this pretty original, interesting, eclectic person. but what if i am just one of those stupid people who want to do what everyone else does. do i really want to adopt when im older, or is it just because i think angie is fab? do i want to travel across the world because I want to, or because i want to be more like someone else. part of me thinks...the originators were the only true unique. everyone just follows everyone else. its kind of debilitating to think that being me...is really me trying to be a bunch of other people combined. what does that mean? will my life just be another waste, another copycat existence? i dont know how to make it not that way. i dont know how to be me, without taking inspiration from other people, who took inspiration from other people. ya know, no-one is different, we all just take different parts of other people, and combine them together. we choose different people to emulate, but it doesnt make us different from eachother, it just allows the machine to keep on going. how does it stop? i dont even know, im not trying to be deep, or insightful, or melodramatic, but im genuinely disappointed with myself. because just a half ago i was frantically searching the web for Kirsten Dunst's favorite movie and favorite band, so that for some small insignificant moment i could be a little bit like her. i think she is incredible, i dont think im incredible. i think im ordinary and i know so many extraordinary people, and i wish i could have that. that thing that makes you above...the real originators.

Top Model...what?

So new season of top model started and i have to say i am super dissapointed...they chose all of their candidates from home video applications...no on-tv american idol-esque embarassing but hilarious live interviews....they just went straight to the first 20 girls. However, the girls are more beautiful than ever and Ms. Jay rocks as always...she makes me cry she is goddamn funny...and tyra just get weirder and weirder. However, tonight i am most looking forward to "Gossip Girls"...I have to admitt that am a) a huge fan of the oc producers who are producing this new cw show, and b) i am in love with penn badgley who is beyond cute.

Factory Girl

So I just watched Factory Girl again, and can I say I love that movie so much. It could be because my two favorite people ever are portrayed in it, Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol. I think Factory Girl is simply incredible, Sienna Miller is such a talented actress and she totally pulled off Edie Sedgwick! So after watching Factory Girl I went online and did some Andy Warhol searching to find a sweet background for my PC and I found an amazing John Lennon print so...that's my new background....yea! Anyways my tastes are slowly but surely starting to center around the 60's. I love the art, the music, and mostly the attitude!

My Theme Song

drink up, baby down
mmm, are you in or are you out
leave your things behind
'cause it's all going off without you
excuse me, too busy you're writing your tragedy
these mishaps
you bubble wrap
when you've no idea what you're like

so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it's so amazing here
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

it gains the more it gives
and then it rises with the fall
so hand me that remote
can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow

such boundless pleasure
we've no time for later now
you can't await your own arrival
you've 20 seconds to comply

so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it's so amazing here
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown --frou frou

Trying to be Eco-Friendly

So yesterday in my first Journalism class a bunch of people started talking about how we were all getting paranoid about the environment and how much we wanted to do something about it. It was crazy how many people are really frightened and passionate about it and it's really annoying how many people just don't give a shit. I ended up finding out that this girl I have known forever but have never really clicked with before was just as curious about the environment and ways to help it as I was. So today I was at Barnes and Nobles and they had this super tiny section of like organic eco-friendly stuff and I was like "Were the fuck is the rest of it". I'm online now trying to find like eco-friendly clothing, but honestly its all ugly as shit...people need working toward making more eco-friendly stuff that appeals to consumers or we're never going to get out of this ridiculous rut we're in now.

Skwank

While coming up with the brilliant title for my brand new blog...my ingenius sister "little miss nomad", came up with a delightful new word to add to our family of made up words, skwank, a word that can only mean " a swanky skank". The amount of words my sisters and I have made up in the years grow in number each day and we keep on inventing. I believe one day we could have our own dictionary of made up words, and in my dreams it would outsell Webster's by the billions.

Here's a small list:
Skwank
Hobag
Slutmuffin
Starvished
