For the Coen brothers' next film, they'll be filming part of it at the St. Olaf old science center in October. I'M SO EXCITED. This is exactly the reason to have a good camera. And to go to St. Olaf. They apparently considered the U of Minnesota and Carleton but decided on the old science center because "it's a perfect fit for the look and the ( Read more... )

I suppose it's been a while, and a lot has happened in the past couple weeks. Pretty much all of it was great. I visited dear Oost in Dallas and we saw the gorgeous Matthew Goode in the beautifully done Brideshead Revisited and got within spitting distance of Craig Finn from The Hold Steady, who are EPIC in concert and left my ears ringing for ( Read more... )

I love taking early afternoon showers. It makes me think of swimming and truly lazy summer days because everybody is too drained from the sun and swimming to do anything else besides sit around and read Harry Potter.

I got a UV filter for my camera today. It is very exciting.

Also, they have a whole section for Mac products (besides iPods) at Best Buy! Finally!

I just back from having my Body Sculpted at a class taught by an aerobics instructor who looked like Ellen Page. Now I don't even know what to do with this extra, drowsy hour I've got between now and the time I would normally get up. Studying would probably be a good idea, seeing as I have a final in my summer biology class tomorrow, but I'm not ( Read more... )
