Angelicadvice of the day
I need to “taste all the colors of the rainbow” or else I’ll regret every girl I haven’t had sex with. Or something to that degree. Skittles metaphor.
I’m so tired, I don’t really remember. What a day. I’m not the wedding type but as a social event, it’s quite outstanding really. Had so much food and Pepsi - no Coke, again. Seriously, what is up...

“Basically, the crux of the movie is that when you’re a teenager or a young...”
– Michelle Williams, on ‘Blue Valentine’

This semester - First impressions, Part I
Film & Culture is a class I’m auditing, which means no credits and no obligation to do the assignments (which I’ll still do, though, because they look awesome). The teacher is the dean of the Cin/Vid/Com department and he’s just the best. The class will be focusing on youth films/coming-of age and some of the films we watch will include: Jean Vigo’s Zéro de Conduite,...

Happy Birthdays to Federico Fellini & David...
