we laid a thousand rooms to rest

this journal is 80% public and 20% not!! the 20% isn't actually all that exciting nor juicy (ABORTIONS EVERY WEEK) but it will contain any art/writings/etc that i don't feel immediately comfortable showing on public filter. also under cut: if i am feeling embarrassingly emotional!!

i write about music and art stuff mostly!! and anything that is of interest: books fashion (sexy) politics oh and my life as a bad, TERRIBLE, academically challenged student. most of the time i'll add you back, but if i don't i am just being forgetful and will eventually!!

ok why can't i stop listening to big bang


  B TO THE I TO THE BAM BAM

WAIT NO

Georges Lemaître proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe, although he called it his 'hypothesis of the primeval atom'. The framework for the model relies on Albert Einstein's General Relativity as formulated by Alexander Friedmann. Also a CBS situational comedy
 
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WANT ANYMORE

he looked outside from cars

i had the worst weekend ever out of SICKNESS and COUGHING UP MY LUNGS/BLOOD A LA TUBERCULOSIS, old school for real but the reason i got sick at all was quite nice i suppose, because elevator kisses at 2 in the morning are always welcome. even if they do bring about coughing fits that sound like a death rattle tommy gun gatling thing (AWESOME) and laying on the floor having feverish dreams about the cast of Friends. WHEN I AM SICK MY DREAMS ARE ABOUT MADE-UP FRIENDS EPISODES/PLOTS THAT MY OWN IMAGINATION THINKS UP. "the one with the girl who keeps throwing up and making out with chandler while ross' monkey watches" i mean wat

anyways the boy is sick too so we decided we're even? is that how relationship work me not know ook ook. OK hey i decided to get involved and start something that is going to last not even a month, even though i know i am going to get hurt and be all mopey and depressed during christmas which will be THE WORST and OK yeah i'm a dumbass. i don't know, i feel like it's worth it still. probably not. but it feels like it, doesn't that count for anything

man this is so gross let's talk about something cool

UM I MET MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY TODAY AND THEY SIGNED MY BOOK? AND ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT AFTER THEY SAID "THANK YOU FOR COMING" WAS IF ONLY I WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO REPLY "YOU GOT IT DUDE" 

IF ONLY

i had this totally sweet cowboy costume (GRAND OL GOLDMINING PROSPECTOR WHISKERS INCLUDED, MOUSTACHE RIDES FOR EVERYONE!!) that all of my TRUE FRIENDS loved but then my terrible tacky ones somehow convinced me at the last minute to change it to a banal asinine 'sexy cowgirl' costume that would seduce the swedish international student (he's not even that cute guys but he speaks french and german like my pants are on fire it's that good). and then some how by the end of the night i had switched costumes with another  girl and i was in an anime-ish cat maid café outfit. --THE HELL

and that wasn't even halloween, because last night i distinctly remember putting on my nicest black tights and dancin shoes and hopping around hollywood, driven by my friend's boyfriend who is very nice and sweet and tolerant of exciteable young desmoiselles. and when we got to some club, he spirited us quickly in past the ID-check thing because i was a dumbass who forgot my ID and also i am the luckiest girl ever sometimes. +10 LUCK AND SPIRIT POINTS

however once we got there i remembered that i hate clubbing because all i ever want to do is dance like a dork and hop up and down to the good more eurotrashy pop songs that are, like, westlife remixes, and that is not at all what most others want to do at clubs, which is why a few dudes got a masterful ELBOW IN FACE TECHNIQUE (perfect execution, fyi) when they tried to turn this beautifully innocent, pure, one-man-mosh-pit type of dancing into sex with clothes on. most hilarious is that all the dudes were asian, like when did my people ever find the courage to do that in between all the studying for engineering major reqs??

but anyway i got tired of that and went outside and my phone rang and it was koizumi who is the sweetest most nicest boy i have ever met, but this is probably because he is 23 and totally grown-up and nice and super japanese, and fascinated by my love for france. and also his dad has a job filming concerts in tokyo and that is just so awesome goddamn. so we talked about JUSTICE and daft punk remixes for a while in broken korean-japanglish and i decided he is my first non-pasty hipster white boy crush (but probably the cupcake shop dude turned me off them FOREVER so thanks a lot, douche). but then he said he is moving back to japan by december, and then i decided i will never love again and become a nun, like seriously eff this


the end

but it is really super unfortunate how my creepy love for older men especially prevalent in celebrity/actor/musician crushes is SLOWLY BUT SURELY SLIPPING INTO MY DAY-TO-DAY LIFE

my first picture taken with my canon xti!! baby~~~


i have to fess up now: i don't like LA. for what it is and the people i've met, it's fun, yes of course!! but i am just not happy, whereas i know for a fact i'd be happier tucked up somewhere north in the east coast or back in SF/bay area or (DREAM OF DREAMS) in france frolicking with poodles!! 

i'm looking to transfer by next fall, which means working on my applications THIS fall. which means... basically.. I AM REPEATING LAST YEAR. THIS IS SO HILARIOUS I'M PUKING IT'S SO FUNNY

this is my 'things that are wonderful!!' post:

01 |
JOSEPHINE FOSTER

song: "All I wanted was the Moon"

i never knew all i wanted in music was a crazy cat lady yowling jazzy folk-modern poetry at me!! UNTIL NOW!!!
it is probably pretty easy to compare this lady to an all growed-up joanna newsom but i think i like foster better! this song is very beautiful and you should listen to it if you like music and sounds

02 | phillipe jullien's 1998 short film Le Cyclope de la Mer scored by yann tiersen!! it won a bunch of awards and stuff. it's about a lonely lighthouse keeper named ro who gets attached to a goldfish he saves! it is really sweet and lovely, but that fish is a total jerk.




03 | i saw MGMT, beck and spoon at the hollywood bowl last saturday!! it was really really nice. i feel bad for not liking spoon that much before-- i mean i always liked them, but never paid that much attention? i would not mind seeing them live again is what i am sayin!!

UN | YOU GUYS i've actually had a MUXTAPE for ever but i didn't actually put together anything i liked until a few hours ago when i decided that kelis' Tasty LP effort from a few years ago was the PERFECT ALBUM and also goes great with girly pop music and club remixes and dean martin!! Tasty is like your little black dress

DEUX | i made a bob dylan paperdoll. mad scientist experiment!!! (his pants kept on falling off D:)






TROIS | i am leaving for LA next month!! i am pretty much exhausted at this point so i know it's unrealistic to expect this but i hope LA will relax me a little bit more because i constantly feel like i just downed five redbulls (and to try to remedy this i drink two coffees) and that is just HEART ATTACK CENTRAL OK!! also i enrolled in a bunch of online classes rather than fill up my schedule at uni, i hope that helps. oh god but i just remembered i am a terrible self-learner OH GOD

QUATRE | yes so The Dark Knight was amazing and since everyone seems to harbor an especial favorite of the three leads i now proudly proclaim myself as TEAM HARVEY DENT!! he is the very portrait of a greek tragic hero and oh oh his story makes my heart hurt and also he's a cutie butt chin cutie! so weird, i was not attracted to aaron eckhart at all before harvey dent!! now i am super excited for Towelhead because i am a horrible feminist and love creepy rapey eckhart and ahhk this says so many bad things about me as a female and basically outs me as a fuck-up/fucked up/weird childhood exp/etc etc but WHATEVER i love that buttchin i am watchin Meet Bill as we speak!!

CINQ | i should really save my money for college but instead i am going to buy this camera with a fancy lens set and all! in related news: i am going on a diet of spuds and vitamin supplements, see you in three months if i am alive

couldn't sleep, watched really really old school saturday night live on tv (holy poops the 70's were just a smoky haze of sex and drugs and surrealism for the SNL cast), DECIDED TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT MAKING PICSPAM OF WONDERFUL MOVIE In Bruges. went to work and fell asleep in the back. bought a $1,100 laptop for $600 in retail bitchessss

  really though!! SUPER MOVIE~ also it was awesome to see so many harry potter actors together in one movie being totally outrageous and not children's novel characters at all ho ho~ some v. minor spoilers, but nothing big/game-giving-- i mostly just focused on the romance between the clemence poésy and colin farrell characters ahaha


 
 
i'm trying to make song mixes for work. it's actually kind OF SUPER HARD-- i have to take in consideration it is a sushi restaurant, but not a terribly hip sushi restaurant, but all the sushi chefs are these like hip young hot dudes who i have to impress by resisting the urge to put in only stuff i found from popjustice, but i can't scare off any of the older people who eat there and might get a heart attack from hearing cocorosie owl hooting or somethin crazy!! they'll be shocked!! "why is there an owl hooting at 2 in the afternoon??" and then bam DEAD

   it's probably the dorkiest most over-eager thing to do, haha, but i am DEAD TIRED of the ~easy listening~ station on the radio. IF I HAVE TO HEAR MAROON 5 ONE MORE FUCKING TIME

  so basically it's a nicer easy listening mix without commercials, very much a mixed bag!! (i also put japanese stuff on there because it's cute SHUT UP IT'S NOT LAME (footnote: was originally planning to make a mix entirely of songs about japan/tokyo/food. am indeed that cool.)) i am bound to be making several more of these over the next two months until school starts, so please do help if you've got any nice musics that is not unpleasant and accessible and won't get me ARRESTED.
 
i put it up here in case you have dumb work too where they only play the radio and also you're not allowed to play anything dangerous and possibly inspiring of lustful thoughts in young willful souls vulnerable to the devil
