So Animal Planet may be the best thing that has ever happened to me. Did anyone see the Puppy Bowl? I turned it on, perplexed that it was just a bunch of puppies running around. An hour later, I was still watching, genius!
Some gay new, via Brian. Mayor Bloomberg trying for gay marriage in NY. For some reason, I had to read this several times, because I wasn't sure what his stance was.
When did Andrew and I start to have the same tastes in music? Here is his best of the year. I'll admit, he wore me down, and I do love Keane. Between them and Gavin DeGraw, I should start working for VH1 or something.Anyway:
1. Keane "Hopes and Fears"
2. Scissor Sisters "Scissor Sisters"
3. Air "Talkie Walkie"
4. Embrace "Out of Nothing"
5. U2 "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb"
6. Franz Ferdinand "Franz Ferdinand"
7. Nellie McKay "Get Away From Me"
8. Snow Patrol "Final Straw"
9. Delta Goodrem "Mistaken Identity"
10. Avril Lavigne "Under My Skin"
I just got an email from Matteen Mokalls. I love those emails you get from random people with the subject line "I've moved!" and you realize you don't know where the fuck they lived to begin with.
I have tons of reading to do for my Pedro Almodovar class. I have never taken a film class before, so I don't want to be naive about film studies, but I do believe there is a tendency to OVERANALYZE STUFF TO DEATH. Perhpas he used that camera angle because it got both actors in the shot, and not because he wanted to show the union of two auras. Perhaps he filmed the scene at the outdoor market because it was a cheaper production cost, not because he wanted to show the chaos and commercialism of society. Good god! This week I had to read 50 pages on the art of the melodrama and watch Dark Habits. I hope it is better than Layrinth of Passion. Despite nymphomaniacs, gay terrorists, incests, and glam rock bands, it just didn't do much for me.
Weird pairing, but Stella McCartney has designed a line for Adidas. Not that I work out or anything, but the stuff is pretty hot.
Top 100 singles of the decade….so far.I've gone craft crazy! This weekend I started working on collages again, something I started to do a few years back. That and knitting like crazy- enough with the scarves. Now onto throw pillos and ipod cases.
