An important reminder

3 Mar

I just read something 5 minutes ago, and a huge light bulb went off. Here is a lengthy status update I posted on my Facebook page a couple of days ago, shortly after spotting a friend’s status update, which contained a bit of misinformation: “I want to clarify something about Facebook’s new Graph Search for [...]

Appreciating the lyrically literal

31 Jan

I’ve been on a huge music kick lately – so much so, that bits and pieces of this entry came seeping into my brain this morning, somewhere between singing in the shower and humming while drying my hair. I was hoping I’d be able get it all out tonight, and I knew if I was [...]

On cinelove and its resulting mushy feel-goodness

20 Jan

It’s been an interesting and informative week, with lots of brain food. Full of reflection of all sorts, mostly on a handful of films I’ve seen recently. There’s been lots of online and real-world discussion about the adult themes in Moonrise Kingdom, the questionable style/tone and visceral violence of Django Unchained, the political messages (or [...]

I think you’ve still got lightning in you

10 Jan

Even during the second viewing of Wes Anderson’s brilliant Moonrise Kingdom, it was still these two lines that stood out to me the most: Suzy: Was he a good dog? Sam: Who’s to say? But he didn’t deserve to die. Never before have Anderson’s characters been so young at heart (and age), yet so aged [...]

Let’s try this approach, shall we?

1 Jan

While I’m completely aware of how flawed and arbitrary it is to set and wait for any date on a calendar in order to make a change in my life, yes, I too continue to do it, and here I am doing it on the first day of yet another new year, ha. A few [...]

10 things I learned about you (yes, life, I’m talkin’ to you)

19 Dec

I realized a few days ago that we’re more than halfway through December, which pretty much means that 2012 is packing her bags, and saying “Lates!” to us all. Not to mention that the world’s gonna end in a few days, and of course, when Armageddon hits, one of my wishes will be to have [...]

Mmm-hmm, and what does that mean to you?

6 Dec

A few seemingly unrelated events occurred this evening, and they’ve got my mind working overtime at the moment, so I’m not ready to turn in yet. First, writer Bret Easton Ellis continued to run his mouth (or rather his fingers) off on his Twitter account today, which got me thinking (and debating on Facebook) about [...]

Build it up, tear it down

1 Dec

Ever watch a kid create a nice, big wall or structure using some type of building blocks, then knock it down for no reason whatsoever (often accompanied by a yelling/screeching), only to start the process all over again? Yes, well, I enjoy doing this when it comes to technology. It’s the only way I really [...]
