Hide and Seek (Roksonix Dubstep Remix) by Imogen...
If I were to learn an unnecessary language (not that the language itself is unnecessary, I just mean that I’d never use it properly), it would be Russian, but I can’t, because I wouldn’t use it and would probably never learn it without using it.
If I could bring myself to buy a pair of purple heels for my brother’s wedding, I would, but unfortunately, I can’t because...

So, apparently, I’m invited to join a friend’s sketch group because:
You’re funny, you have a vast vocabulary, so use it and abuse it with your fanciful word play. Audiences love feeling smarter than they actually are.
I am convinced that no matter how much I tell myself I won’t live in Los Angeles, I’ll most likely become a resident in the next year or two....

Why True Grit is So Great — and How It Fits into... →
by Daniel Coffeen
True Grit marks an interesting point in the Coen oeuvre (that is a gloriously ugly word, oeuvre, especially as its French which has so many exquisitely beautiful words). Their last few movies — No Country for Old Men, Burn After Reading, A Serious Man — are profoundly misanthropic films. True Grit is not. On the contrary, it is an eloquent testimony to the complexity of...

Marxist-Socialists Jokes →
by Jesse Eisenberg
A priest, a Rabbi and a Marxist-Socialist are in an airplane that is going to crash and there are only two parachutes. The Priest says, “I have always followed the word of Jesus, so I should have one of the parachutes.” The Rabbi says, “I paid for the plane rental, so I should also have one of the parachutes.” The Marxist-Socialist says, “I would...

Don't make me feel bad for loving somebody before... →
brain-food:
As much as you’d like to believe that there was nobody before you, there was. I fell in love, I’ve been loved and I gave love. When you ask me about my past relationships, more so the recent one, don’t sit there and make me feel like shit when you ask me, “Did you love him?” You know the answer is yes. I don’t understand what other answer you’re looking for, let alone why you...

The Frightening Story Behind The 2011 Coachella... →
A fake interview with a Coachella Promotor by Ryan O’Connell. Sample:
TC: You put Bright Eyes on the lineup. That’s not funny at all. That’s some psychological warfare shit.
CP: Oh, yeah. Getting Bright Eyes was actually a really funny story. You know how Conor Oberst lives in Obscurity now?
TC: Yeah. He sucks. No one cares about him anymore.
CP: No, dude. He actually lives in a town...

Something of which I will not be sarcastic about
I’ve noticed over the past two or three weeks I’ve been getting a lot of writing blogs following me, the most recent being frommyperspective and michaeldaabdoul. This is in no way terrible, just rather interesting to note.
Welcome, you guys. If there’s ever a chance for a conversation to strike up, don’t hesitate. I enjoy spam in the form of written words (or is...

Seeing as I temporarily deactivated my facebook in the hopes that I might become serious about independent film studies, I need something that can fill the spaces in between work and the moment when I feel like choosing whatever it is I want to watch for two hours. The latter usually takes a few hours to kick start since my motivation is nearing a critically low level. Anyway, for the time being,...

An interview with the illustrious Sir Ian... →
Here’s a hypothetical epic battle: Albus Dumbledore versus Gandalf the White. Who wins?
[Long pause.] Well, the real wizard, of course.
And who would that be?
[Rolls eyes.] I cannot believe I have to answer these silly questions. The real wizard.
Your money’s on Gandalf?
Obviously.

1) I am sorry that your plan didn't work out as you had planned, neither did mine, but I guess that's how we learn and progress as humans. Learn from what cannot be, and create more paths, gain more experiences, and progress as humans. I believe in you.
2) YOU'RE STAYING YAY. (Good thing for me... :P)

Game Changed.
UCR. Media & Cultural Studies major with concentration in Film, Literature and Culture, which coincidentally is exactly what I wanted to be studying at SF State (which “coincidentally” did not have anything that specific).
I spent four hours extensively looking at apartments in the San Francisco area last night. It was impossible to find a studio under $1400 that did not have...
How hard is it
to find an affordable apartment before the end of the month? This is proving to be more of a hassle than ever.
DAY FOUR: Favorite book of your favorite series
I never did keep up with this. So shoot me. I’ll do it when I feel like it.
Right, so, I mentioned that my favorite series was Lord of the Rings. You know, the vintage nerd before being a nerd became chic, blah blah.
Of the four books (including The Hobbit, excluding everything else of J.R.R. Tolkien’s that remotely resembles the series, but really has nothing to do with our beloved...
