I've finally calmed down a bit re: the men's figure skating Olympic result, but I still feel that Plushenko should have taken the gold and that Johnny was way underscored. I mean, just look at him! He's perfection! He deserves more than that Patrick Chan to skate at the Gala!

OH MY GOD. MEN'S FREE SKATE LAST NIGHT. HOLY CRAP.

I will try not to freak out multiple times like I did last night, when I was literally shaking and crying watching the skating, and was kicked out of the TV room. Once again, I shall try. Can't make any promises.

So last night was the men's free skate for figure skating, and of course I watched it ( Read more... )

So has anyone been watching the Olympics? I absolutely love the Winter Olympics (even more than the Summer Games) because of the skating - both figure and speed. Also, I like to watch the snowboard cross and snowboard halfpipe. I swear, the people who choose do participate in half of these events are either brave or clinically insane...I'll let you ( Read more... )

“Anderson has a fine sense of how music works against an image. There’s the beautiful ending of Rushmore, when Miss Cross removes Max Fischer’s glasses and gazes into the boy’s eyes - really the eyes of her dead husband - as the Faces’ “Ooh La La” plays on the soundtrack. And I also love the scene in Bottle Rocket when Owen Wilson’s character, ( Read more... )

Just got the terrible news that Sir Alexander McQueen, my favorite active fashion designer, was found dead in his home this morning. He was only 40. Some reports are saying it was a suicide, because his mother passed away earlier this month and he had trouble coping. But I don't want to think about that...I just want to think about all of the ( Read more... )

There may actually be a God! We have gotten a second snow day in a row, and it usually takes a Second Coming of Jesus to get just one! Apparantly the roads are going to be so bad that there's no point in driving to school tomorrow, and I couldn't be happier, even though I hate snow itself! I'm going to spend tomorrow the way I spent today: lounging ( Read more... )

Snow day tomorrow! I couldn't be happier...and it's all based on a forecast of terrible weather. I would love if, come tomorrow, when we're all off from school, we got no snow. As someone who dislikes school and dislikes snow more, that would be wonderful!

So, in my attempt to become a better and more informed cinema-viewer, I thought watching Up in ( Read more... )

I've been looking at the TCM schedule for this month and marked down a couple movies already, and it looks like it's going to be a lovely month: 8 1/2, Chinatown, Roman Holiday, The Lady Eve, A Place in the Sun, Some Like it Hot, Key Largo, The Heiress, A Foreign Affair, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof...and that's only until the 20th ( Read more... )

Coming back from his notable all-white show, Elie Saab - the undisputed King of the Red Carpet - failed to impress me in his 2010 pastel-dominated collection. While there were some nice designs, and the natural hair/makeup kept it classy, the lack of variety in the shapes and colors made the show very one-note and monotonous. It was a lot of the ( Read more... )

After two collections inspired largely by lingerie, John Galliano brought Dior to a slightly different level this season: a more equestrian, bourgeosie feel, complete with riding jackets and dominatrix-esque riding crops and high-heeled leather boots. Clearly inspired by ladies of the American West as well as the Gibson Girls, Monsieur Galliano ( Read more... )
