six toes and disappointment
1) pirates experience=four stars, pirates movie=two stars around eleven-ish on thursday night, i got all decked out in pirate gear i found around my house and drove my sister and i to the movie theater to see POTC 3. at first it was a little awkward because all the 8,9-ish movies were getting out around that time and obviously, those moviegoers ( Read more... ) -
pirates and mixed emotions
sick on senior cut day: sounds like a song, doesn't it? instead of lounging on a beach and playing frisbee in perfect weather, i lounged on the couch and re-learned the art of balancing as many crumpled tissues as possible in the wastepaper basket without them all falling over.
four good things about today, though:
1) my prom dress ( Read more... ) -
carbon dioxide and paradox
so i am officially done with APs for the rest of my life. yesterday was chem, which was intolerable. do you know those toys that babies push around with the handles, the ones with the little balls that sputter and pop up and bounce all around the plastic bubble? that's how my brain felt by the end of the exam, like i was being barraged with ( Read more... ) -
potatoes and virtue
today in english, we had to list the top five books/stories/poems/plays, movies, and songs that have impacted our lives, and i was surprised that most of the things that have "impacted" my life aren't necessarily my favorite ones. did anyone else have that happen? so somehow, that made me want to put quotes from my favorite movies up here ( Read more... ) -
love and cholera
on friday night, after my sister's birthday party (she's sixteen! crazy), i was kidnapped by frankie and emily and brought to walgreen's, where i bought dark chocolate, and justin, the oh-so-experienced bombmaker, bought popcorn, nail polish remover, a lighter, and axe. then emily and i serenaded alison and frankie on the way to...the bluff ( Read more... ) -
garlic knots and dancing
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME, BRIDGET/JESS/ALISON THAT DIRTY DANCING: HAVANA NIGHTS HAS A SAD ENDING?! I GOT ALL EXCITED TO WATCH IT AND WHEN I WAS AN HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES INTO IT, THINGS WERE STARTING TO WIND DOWN AND LOOKING BAD, AND I THOUGHT, "WELL, THEY CAN'T END IT HERE, IT'S NOT EVEN FEATURE-LENGTH YET, AND MY FRIENDS WOULDN'T DO THAT TO ( Read more... ) -
porn and sunsets
this weekend went down pretty easily. friday night i saw "the music man" at west with shoe and emily and aimee and michelle and joe. it was alright, i just couldn't hear the actors some of the time. ashley's violin solos were absolutely breath-taking, though, really amazing. brett had the perfect amount of charisma for his role, and oh my ( Read more... ) -

bagels and magic
week in review
class deeply embarrassed by french embassy "incident": we were borderline-escorted out of the french embassy on our field trip. the story's better in person, though.
MoMA is alternately amazing, entertaining, and confusing: in respective order: the van gogh, gaughin, kandinsky (i doubt i'm spelling any of those correctly), and entire ( Read more... ) -
fevers and surrealness
the past week or so has been more of the same old, same old, or at least it feels like that because i spent five or so days of it being sick with a weird fever-chills-headache-stomachache-leg-ache combination. but it was the good kind of sick, where you at least can appreciate being able to be lazy. i watched "amelie" (weird, but cool, and ( Read more... )
