The Joys of Being Lazy
Ah, sweet sweet spring break. I had planned on driving to Graceland and Nashville with a couple of friends, but alas, the car requires prohibitively expensive repairs. This is my first short break just staying in Oberlin. Originally, I had thought that what I needed was some excitement and adventure- particularly since this is my last school ( Read more... ) -
The Final Semester
So...last set of classes I'll be taking for a while. Trying to balance between taking it easy, yet enjoying the full experience of being in the academic environ.
Senior Neuroscience Seminar (pathology of neurological disease)
Thought this was going to be an intense lecture class. In reality it's going to be focused on "scientific communication". ( Read more... ) -
I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
I am Trying to Break Your Heart
I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking

Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning

New Year's was pretty much the best one I can remember. Although to be honest I can't particularly remember a New Year's Eve since 2000. I went to a dinner party with my mom and it was actually really fun. They had interesting conversations and they don't get to hang out with the young folks too often, most of them are professional women who ( Read more... ) -
for the stick pins and the cottons I left in the top drawer
I'm not particularly into resolutions for New Year's. Mainly because it feels weird to me to be doing something so personal at the same time as millions of other people. Oh well.
Resolution 1. Stop caring (includes learning mind altering meditation techniques)
Resolution 2. Learn to tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue
Resolution 3. Learn ( Read more... ) -
Love Cup Theory
Attachment theory: relationships we form with early caregivers shape expectations for future close relationships- I find it relatively easy to get close to others and am comfortable depending on them and having them depend on me.
- I am somewhat uncomfortable being close; I find it difficult to trust others completely; love partners want me to be more ( Read more... )

Why AO Scott is a good critic
“Wendy and Lucy” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It has some swearing, a little drug use and a brief implication of violence, but no nudity, sex or murder. The rating seems to reflect, above all, an impulse to protect children from learning that people are lonely and that life can be hard.

The Grand Theater of Perversion and Fear
Every time we visit my family in Ohio I worry that I will never be a nice person. Nice people, I think, are happier people. But nice people miss out on a lot of the good stuff because it is not really conducive to being, well, nice. Nice people don't enjoy films such as Gozu (Japanese title Grand Theater of Perversion and Fear: Cow's Head).
