re-vamp!

Ok so after some brainstorming, I have decided what I'm going to do on the blog. One day out of every week I'll have an album, movie, or artist of the week. The first two are pretty self-explanatory but the last one can really apply to anyone: actor, musician, painter, etc. Most of all, people that really influence me.

It'll be random every week, just whatever I feel like talking about really. So that's that! I'm so excited. I'll do the first one some time this weekend and the goal is to do one of these per week and at least one regular entry like I've always done. And I'm going to try my hardest to really stick to it! And song of the day will stay the same of course :)

I got a notion...

...that this is my 200th post!

Gosh, I honestly never thought I would make it here when I started this blog 4(!) years ago. I'm proud of myself for keeping it this long. I kind of feel bad because I feel like I should do something special for this post, but what could I do really? Maybe I'll just make it really long and insightful and talk about some things that I've been thinking of in the past few days.

First off, I'm really digging the new template design on Blogger. One of the downsides of Blogger I always thought was that you couldn't really customize your page a whole lot. But now you can do so much with it! I love it. Today I went out with my mom because it's her birthday tomorrow so we all went out for lunch. It was nice having everyone together. And I have to say, I was pretty pleased with my wardrobe selection today. Must start dressing like this more often.

Anyways, today for some reason I wish more than anything that I could be in L.A. I don't know why, maybe it's because I was being a creeper on JustJared and looking at all the places where famous people hang out. I think my plan once I move back is to make friends with a bunch of people in L.A. who have connections to celebrities. Haha, I know it's kind of leechy but hey, you gotta get your foot in the door right? I don't know, I think it would just be really cool to be part of that scene and get some insight to what it's really like. I mean, at the end of the day, we all wish we were friends with someone famous...don't lie.

So can I be really honest right now? I think my blog is so boring. Like, really? Who cares? Haha, honestly though I've been thinking about that a lot lately, like, why would someone come to my blog? And once they found it, why would they stay? Seriously, all I talk about is random little things I did throughout the day, and if it's not that, then it's me complaining about one thing or another. So I've been thinking what I can do to jazz it up a bit, like, maybe start writing some fiction? Hahaha I have no idea. Maybe I could assign certain events to a certain day of the week, like, every Thursday I would talk about my movie recommendation and Fridays I would talk about new music recommendations? You know, something like that. Just to get some consistency in here. Because honestly, I don't write enough and it would make the blog a little more interesting. Hmmm....well I don't know, I'll play around with some ideas and decide by next week. Until then I'll leave you with a nice song....

morning becomes electric

I wanted to write something really quick before I start drawing. Lately I've been day-dreaming so much, mostly about places I want to live in the future. I want to live in New York more than anything, but I really have no idea how, most of all when, because it would definitely push back my plans for film even more. I've been checking out other major cities as well, mostly in Canada. Vancouver or Montreal would be sick to live in also. From what I've seen, they're amazing. We'll see. I'm leaving next year and the sooner I start planning, the better.

Also:
How much do you love her? And what she's wearing?

cheelin

The last few days have been really relaxing apart from school, and considering that the next 4 days will be hectic I'm enjoying it as much as I can. I have to say, sticking to this certain regimen has been motivating. I think we all know that good feeling when we say we're going to stick to something and follow it step by step, with no cheating in between. Let's just say I haven't had ANY sugar in the past 3 days :)

Considering my infatuation with Liv Tyler right now, I started checking out some of her movies. I had seen a lot of them already, but the one that sort of impacts you the most is Stealing Beauty. Not the best film in the world, it is really boring at times and it's hard to imagine that people really live that way, but her performance is amazing. It's so real and honest and subtle, and one of the last scenes is really impacting. Apart from that, it has a really great soundtrack for the most part, classic 90's haha. So I've been downloading a bunch of songs from the soundtrack today and from similar artists just basking in this downpour of artistic revelation.

I don't know. It was just a really quiet morning today and it looks like it's gonna rain soon so I'll probably open the window and read a book. That will be one of the things I greatly miss when I move. Listening to some mellow music and reading a book with the windows open while it's raining...ugh so nice. In other news I want to completely revamp my wardrobe and have been getting some great inspiration...I think I'll post that in the next entry. As for now, I'll enjoy the rest of my quiet day until I have to stress out for the entire weekend starting tomorrow.

back on the wagon!





So many things have happened.
  • Allie came to visit for two weeks
  • Went zip-lining
  • Saw Aerosmith live!
  • Developed a new girl crush on Liv Tyler
  • Downloaded some bitchin' music (Spacehog anyone?)
  • Got drunk for the first time
  • Got a new scar
Etc., etc. I've had some time to reflect in the couple of days and I honestly feel disgusted with myself. I don't know why, it's a combination of things, physical mostly. I'm just a slob right now. And school has been on the back burner as of late which is not good. So starting tomorrow, the metamorphosis will be begin and this will honestly be the last time I look and feel like this. I'm so sick of feeling this way all the time. Changes, changes! Change is good, it's great. It's time for it to happen now.

Song of the day: Crazy- Aerosmith

Until next time
