Lost
There is a scene in Season 2 of Lost where Hurley is sitting in his living room in his Chicken Cluck work t-shirt watching tv. Hurley’s mother comes in and asks him why he is not out trying to meet a nice young woman. Why is he so content to just sit around watching tv and eating chicken drumsticks? Hurley just looks at her and asks her if she ever stopped to think that maybe he was...

Movie Tastes
I just cleaned out the crap from a bag that I happen to carry whenever I’m going to the movies (because it’s light, but also roomy enough to fit candy or whatever) and I had 5 movie “stubs” (paper tickets printed from Fandango).
They are, in no specific order:
1) Up in the Air
2) Funny People
3) Whip It
4) Extract
5) Twilight Saga: New Moon
Which of these things is...

I love this lyric and I love the sentiment behind it. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and this describes the love that I feel for certain people and animal in my life.
Also, I try to ignore/erase the fact that this song was probably about and meant for Bobbyyyyy.

I had a professor once who told us we should never take an unpaid internship because it devalues our work. As he put it, “working for no money - it’s called slavery”
Try being the recording school graduate that says “I’m not doing any work until someone pays me for it”. I’ll see you in a couple years when I need to...
Pretty Beautiful
My favorite college professor, an afficionado of women and pot and all things leather and motorcycle related, once said something that I will forever remember (this was about a decade ago when I was a mere 18, so it says a lot that I still remember).
My old professor said that pretty is just pretty, nothing more and nothing less. Beautiful, however, can be ugly. True beauty is maleable. It can...

Is it wrong to kind of have a thing for Willie Nelson and want to hop in a van with him, listen to him sing to me and play the guitar, while smoking something yummy?
I think that I was born in the completely wrong generation.

File Under...Why Don't Some People Get the Hint?!?
I’ve got a little annoying situation with someone who keeps trying to be in my life. After some awkward “conversations” (via email), he just doesn’t get the hint. I couldn’t be making myself any clearer, that I no longer want to have any sort of relationship, friends or otherwise, it seems as though he continues to e-mail me as if to get a rise out of me (or not,...

Sunday, November 07, 2004 Take a chance you stupid ho… Here’s the omnipresent cliche question: If you found out that you had one week to live, how would you spend that one week? Some may find this question morbid & pointless. Others view it as simply an amusing question you ask people out of boredom during cocktail hour. Regardless of how you take the question, it has a pretty...

Thursday, January 27, 2005 The dust on my television has settled into a friendly looking gray film that does not really bother me. In fact, it amuses me. Both because I just noticed it now when it must have taken weeks to collect to that level and because it doesn’t have any bearing whatsoever on any part of my life, so I leave it, enjoying it as a temporary imperfection in my life. I walk over...

Whatever Works
So, I really can’t seem to write up film reviews very well lately. Partially because I have a bad habit of revealing too much and unintentionally putting in spoilers.
So, I’ll try to do this as painlessly as possible. I got my DVD player issues sorted out (damn am I bad with hooking shit up) and watched Woody Allen’s newest creation, Whatever Works, courtesy of my new Netflix...

I wish that life was like a Woody Allen film.
It would truly be lovely.

A Boy and his Dog
Today, as I got on the train, I noticed a boy who looked to be about 19 with a few bags with him…and a beautiful sweet as a lamb pitbull (or pit mix). They were curled up and sleeping in the subway car. Both the boy and the baby girl pit (she was wearing a bubblegum pink spiked collar) looked clean and taken care of, but there was this immense sadness that I felt watching them curled up...

I’m starting to think that it will never happen for me again. Everyone I know is in a relationship. In love. It’s been three years since the demise of mine.
I don’t even think I’ll recognize it when I see it.
I have never been a dater—or the type of girl who only felt complete with a man by her side—but I have never felt this lonely.
In this new year, I don’t want to...

1) Above all, Woody Allen is a genius. The fact that he married his adopted daughter is gross, but doesn’t take away from the fact that it is like this man has stepped into my crazy, neurotic mind and written it all down in a cohesive and just extraordinary manner.
2) I am...
