Hurry Up And Wait

Richie Tenenbaum: I'm going to kill myself tomorrow.

-The Royal Tenenbaums

I love the way Friday feels. On no other day of the week would I come home and start cleaning my apartment. On no other day of the week would I want to blog just because. And on no other day of the week would I actually not consider stabbing a pencil into my eye during class. I love the way Friday feels.

I'm really digging my Production class for Radio-TV-Film. In the first section we had to make a film for a project, and in the television section (which I'm currently in) we had to write and direct our own public service announcement or commercial. I thought a lot about it, weighed my options, thought about serious issues that affect society and came up with a really substantial idea: public farting. Oh yes -- while the other classmates did PSA's on drinking enough water, voting in the elections, and the dangers of smoking, I did mine on ripping ass. I designed a product and wrote a minute-long commercial that I have to say was very funny. I better get some fucking points for creativity. I rule.

I get to go home next weekend for a Halloween party, but I'm most excited to see miss Mary Shanks! I missed that girl while she was in Georgia and it'll be great to hang out with her and Britt again.


I finally decided on what I was going to be for Halloween. First it was Napoleon Dynamite, then it was Dwight Schrute from The Office, and then it was Jack Twist from Brokeback Mountain (but I realized I needed a partner for it to be funny). What I decided is even better: a contestant from Legends of the Hidden Temple! Remember that show from Nickelodeon!? I ordered a t-shirt from the show online, and am buying a helmet and pads. I'm going to be a Green Monkey!


I've been renting a shit load of movies recently and here's a handful that you should see:

Hable Con Ella (Talk to Her). I'm doing a research project on the director of this film for my Spanish class and decided to rent a few of his films. It's a movie about two men who meet in a hospital and develop a friendship when both of their girlfriends are in a coma. So good.


Hard Candy. I had been wanting to see this in theaters, but never found an opportunity. A technically perfect movie, it's about a 30-something year old man who meets a mature 14 year old girl on the internet. He takes her to his house and some unpredictable (and fucking grisly) events take place.


Imaginary Heroes. A movie about a family that unravels after a tragic event. Along the lines of American Beauty and Moonlight Mile, but not as good. Still a great movie though.


Sorry, Haters. An indie flick about a taxi driver in NYC whose life changes when a mysterious woman gets in his cab. Also has some politica undertones of post-911 America. Robin Write Penn is easily one of the best actresss working today, and her performance in this movie is fucking incredible. I want to make out with her.


A couple of movies I can't wait to see:

Marie Antoinette


Little Children (the trailer is crazy-good and it even won an award! view it here: http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/littlechildren/)


I promise I'll have some good pictures from the Halloween party. Laters for now!
