I’ve never been able to let things go.

It’s been almost four years since I’ve had the chance to drive back to Los Angeles on the 5 at night and I forgot how much I use to love it. Although LA has become my home, which I love dearly, the city rarely offers occasion to sit in the cool moonlight and just think.

The weekend had been a busy one as I had ( Read more... )

Given our discussion in class on Thursday, I thought that I'd be interesting to see if anyone else has started to watch Caprica? I am thoroughly in love with the program and I think that it deals with a number of issues that we have been talking about over the semester.

Oh crap. It's 5:15 in the morning.

I can't remember the last time that I woke up because of a nightmare. I've certainly grown up since I was a child, but I still found myself staring at the clock in a silent panic. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what series of events caused this awakening to occur. I had gone to sleep a bit late the night ( Read more... )

There are a many reasons to love living in Los Angeles: sunshine, beaches, California fare, and movie screenings. Premieres are good and all, but being in a test market that allows you to see movies months before they're released is just one of the perks of living in the city. A couple of years ago, I was fortunate enough to see a rough cut of " ( Read more... )
