You have found my blog, or I am reading my page because I am bored. Here is a handful of things I think are cool and funny, interesting and pretty, or sad and upsetting. Also, but not limited too, a little peak into my mind and what I think about. I am pretty random, as is this. 19 years old and attending school (Whittier College). Interested in theatre, New York City, music, movie quotes, puppies, concerts, flowers, Harry Potter, maps, food, and basically anything. I am working on figuring out my life, it is coming along great; thanks for asking. I am working it out day by day and dollar by dollar enjoying my school, friends, and family as I do. These are my thoughts, memories, stories, pictures, songs, quotes, and words that make up who I am. I also don't know how to identify a run on sentence. Which is why, more than likely, there are four examples of comma misuse in this paragraph.

This morning I have passed over like six pictures of New York to reblog. I can’t resist anymore! Ugh, I will live here.

If you missed the president’s State of the Union last night, here’s what we’re internally referring to as “the kick-ass section.” Watch the rest of the speech and get an overview of the key points here.

Oooo excellent. I was hoping to watch this. :]

Here’s a list of the Best Picture nominees, with links to reviews and other coverage from The New Yorker.
“The Artist”
Read Anthony Lane’s review. Tad Friend talks with writer-director Michel Hazanavicius on the challenges of getting audiences to watch a black-and-white silent French film. Richard Brody on how the film reflects our economic moment.
“The Descendants” 

“The latest exhibit in Payne’s careful dissection of the beached male,” Anthony Lane writes in his review. Richard Brody traces the diverse lineage of Alexander Payne’s films and George Clooney’s cool acting style.
“Moneyball”
David Denby calls “Moneyball” “one of the most soulful of baseball movies.” Richard Brody anticipates European reviewers’ interpretations of the American pastime.
“Midnight in Paris”
“People just blurt out their identifying traits; the dialogue is so  blunt that it’s a little embarrassing. But Allen is moving fast with a  purpose: he’s setting up a fable of longing and satisfaction.” Read  David Denby’s review of “Midnight in Paris.” Paul Goldberger writes that the film’s interpretations Paris’s present and past are “products of Allen’s imagination.” Richard  Brody reviews PBS’s “American Masters” special on Woody Allen, with an exclusive clip of Allen and his trusty typewriter.
“The Tree of Life”
Anthony Lane’s review of “Tree of Life.” David Denby calls the film “insufferable” and “a considerable enlargement of the rhetoric of cinema.” Richard Brody surveys Malick’s career.
“The Help”
“‘The Help’… is, in some ways, crude and obvious, but it opens up a  broad new swath of experience on the screen.” Read David Denby’s review.
“Hugo”
“In a flashback, Scorsese re-creates Méliès’s glass-walled studio and  his films, with their exuberance of creatures, ‘natives’ with spears,  nymphs hanging from the stars—sheer exultant zaniness, part magic show,  part burlesque, and all cinema.” More from David Denby’s review of “Hugo.” Richard Brody discusses the film’s clockwork mechanisms and Scorsese’s approach to filmmaking.
“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close”
David Denby’s review of “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” which is based on Jonathan  Safran Foer’s novel about a young boy whose father died on 9/11. On the  tenth anniversary of the attacks, Safran Foer writes about discussing 9/11 with his children.
“War Horse”
David Denby reviews “War Horse.” Susan Orlean comments on the spectacle and experience of the theatrical version of “War  Horse.” Richard Brody writes, “The movie is—by design—a pile of  clichés.”
Here’s the complete list of Academy Award nominees from the official Oscars site.

My mom is editing my letter of intent from 1,000 miles away. This is very painful to sit through. I am getting tired and am also sensing where I inherit all of these traits I am trying to exemplify on paper. Attention to detail, check! Control freak, check! OCD, check! Perfectionist, check! Scattered thoughts, check! Intense work ethic, check! Never sleep until the job is done, CHECK! Ahhhhhhhh we need to hang up. She has taken over my letter and is now memorizing where I have placed specific details. STOP smoothing out my word choice. Even from a 1000 miles away she can boss me around. 

Although she did help me sound like a professional. Thanks mom. :]

Me: I also thought about including a section about how timely and efficient I can be, but then I realized I was doing this at literally the last possible moment and decided I didn't want to lie about my character traits.

Dad: Good decision.

Me: Hi Dad, I waited an hour, will you listen to what I wrote?

Dad: No, you waited an hour and five minutes. I have already gotten hooked on the next show. Call back in an hour.

Me: DAD!!!

My parents can’t help me write a letter of intent for my stage management fellowship because they are busy watching Alcatraz. My dad calls it “old people TV’. He said call back in an hour. 

Real Talk: Last night I may or may not have watched 101 Dalmatians. (I did.)
