Currently Playing Boys for Pele By Tori Amos see related

so b. asked today why i don't write in my blog anymore. after suffering through the interminable movie "garden state" last night i've come to realize how pretentious and unnecessary excessive dialogue and monologue can be. i much prefer to keep my random and mundane thoughts to myself and my own insular world. in fact, just writing this down is making me feel really really pretentious. like why the fuck would anyone give a shit that i happen to be listening to tori amos' boys for pele? that i just had vegan hotlinks and homefries as a late breakfast, and i didn't get past the first 30 minutes of chen kaige's "together" because i've grown weary of asian movies that focus on classical music and familial relationships. *shrug* meaningless, i tell you, meaningless!

so this is probably my last entry and i'm kissing this sucker goodbye. but here's my two cents regarding all the overrated "garden state" hoopla. if you happen to be one of those folks who likes to watch books on tape, who likes over-produced, over-written hollywood movies masquerading as so-called indie movies, or just like to spend two hours engrossed in slow moving, mechanical romantic dramas about detachment and reattachment, then this movie is probably right up your alley. if any of that makes you cringe, i say go watch "alien vs. predator." the action sequences are kinda whack, and it could possibly have one of the worst background plots ever, but the dialogue was hilarious (memorable and oh-so-quotable! "the enemy of my enemy is....my friend.") and the romantic tension was much more subtle and, yes, amusing than that found in "garden state." it's a high budget b-movie in all its glory. yeah!

ok i'm out.

fantasia berrino is our new amerikkkan idol. the night of voting was not a complete waste. after all the eliminations of the african americans on that show it was rather gratifying seeing her stand tall as the lone survivor. take that annoying white girl diana di garmo! the bigger question remains though, "why do i even care?"

thesis is slow but steady. i think i will have to postpone my defense though. and i'm ok with that. another week and i can get this shit done. the misery continues....

ok so instead of working on my thesis i spent last night voting for fantasia berrino as the next amerikkkan idol. now how do i explain that to my thesis committee without me sounding like too big of an idiot? not really possible huh? thesis due friday and i have one page. seriously. the future is looking oh so bright.

yes, there is a big "L" tattooed on my forehead, thank you very much. i'm out.

listening: "ooh boy" - en vogue

why does everyone laugh at my fashion makeover? i feel like i've been pigeonholed as this dark and depressing queer hermit or some shit. what the fuck is with that? i think everyone needs to get more in touch with their inner diva. all you haters need to spend time on some much-needed inner reflection instead of pointing and laughing and trying to essentialize me. i ain't gonna sit around and try to figure out why the caged bird sings, ok? i'm busting down the door and soaring higher and higher. and if you're not careful i'll take a strategic shit on you from above.

take heed! this is what the bratz have to say:

"All things glittery and bold are the order for this night!"

y'all got that? so go out and find something fabulous to bring out the glittery and bold YOU! if you need some extra tips, simply scroll down and see yesterday's lesson on how it is that you make that dress look good, instead of vice versa. and don't forget to accessorize! i know all you heteros are a bit challenged on this front, but please, we all have our own struggles to overcome. so no excuses! be fab, be happy!
