It's Probably Too Late for Resolutions...
Yes, yes, I know it’s the end of January, but I know what I’m going to do in 2011…or rather, things I’m going to do. 1. I shall be more like Amelie, Jenny (from An Education, not Forrest Gump), Audrey Hepburn, and Fantastic Mr. Fox 2. I shall finish a story/screenplay and like it. 3. I shall become a very quotable person. And I don’t mean stupid stuff, I mean...

So, I have reading to do for Philosophy, but instead I’m here at the kitchen table, listening to Cold War Kids and eyeing the rest of the cookies.  Alors, some good news…. I got an email, yesterday from First Person Museum in Philly (I’m no longer in Philly, but that’s besides the point). The long and short of it is they want to feature my typewriter story (well,...

Quand je serais une grande femme, je vais rire avec mes copains. Et je lirai les grands livres. Et mon mari et moi? Nous prendrons des promenades longues aux éndroits que nous connaissons. Mais maintenant, je suis jeune, et je ne marche pas; je cours toujours.

So yesterday (or was it the day before?) I finally saw An Education. All I can saw is….ohmygodilovethatmoviemorethananything. Needless to say, it was uber good.  OK, so David (Peter Sarsgaard) was a little creepy at first, but he’s just so damn likable! Like Jenny’s parents, I was saw charmed by him that I was able to overlook most of his flaws.  Also, I’m sooo much like...

I was thinking about making a “Ringo Starr Magic Eight Ball”. I figure it’ll go something like this… “Ringo, should I wear this dress in public?” “Ringo, will I ever get married?”   “Ringo, is it a good idea to grill hotdogs on the radiator?” See? He always knows what to say.

I suppose I should mention that I’ve entered NPR’s Three Minute Fiction. So…. I’VE ENTERED NPR’S THREE MINUTE FICTION.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but I’m not holding my breath. It would be cool to be picked as one of their favorites, though.
