movie blitz!

i am on a movie rampage! this weekend was a perfection of laziness!

i watched:


-nick and norah's infinite playlist
(bought it--love the quirk factor and both main actors)

-paris je t'aime
(bought it--i love multiple story lines)

-marie antoinette
(beautiful)

-loving annabelle
(lame)

-love and sex
(have seen it many times before and love it every time)

-moulin rouge
(broke it out VHS style)


i am currently searching for love and other disasters. it is no where to be found. i am determined to find it!

i also plan to watch dr. zhivago when i have enough time to sit down for 3 1/2 hours.

went to coffee with lyds and heather. it was good seeing our other 1/3, and have not seen her in forever. heather is glowing and beautiful. i only can HOPE i look as good as her when i am pregnant. she is glorious. thhhaaattt bitch. ;]

number five with a bullet.

• kevin's funeral last friday was surreal. basically everyone i have been friends with in the past five years was there. i saw people i had not seen in years. the church was packed. if i have half as many people at my funeral, i will be grateful. he was obviously loved and adored by many. it was strange seeing all of the splintered groups of friends in different parts of the church. "one hell of a reunion" one person called it, and it was in however unfortunate conditions. everyone was civil, regardless of past conflicts, and kevin would have been proud to see what his life amounted to. i choked up mainly when i saw the family at the front of the church watching everyone with teary eyes approach for communion. arg... it was a bizarre day. it still has not hit me.
• last weekend i spent almost every day with justin. so wonderful. we basically just lounged and watched movies. went to his comedy sportz thing on friday (it was a good crowd this time). went and saw the wrestler. i highly recommend it. went to chang mai thai for some fine cuisine. a very satisfying weekend. i am an extremely lucky girl.
• heather's birthday was on the 14th. i have yet to receive her presents in the mail. UPS can suck it. but happy birthday to my favorite woman!!!
• went to the spirit of 76's cd release party show. fantastic! they are my favorite local band. doug tears up the stage like nobody's business! flawless. they even had a choir dressed in gowns come on stage. wondrous. farewell continental opened for them, which was a nice thing having all of my favorite people in the room. they were the best i have seen them yet. kari killed it (in the best way) with vocals. energy was good. crowd was good. yummy! i am starting to love love love their music. they have found a nice niche. so i hung with my girls, my boys, my boy, and others that night. ended up going to the uptown diner at 2:00 AM with justin, tommy, and their bassist for late night food and jokes. i was so tired though, and the food did not sit well. ick.
• tuesday(?) i went to justin's little sister's family birthday party. i loveeee his family. they are such a hilarious, interesting, and intelligent group of people. we went to luce in st. paul. jackie turned the big 18! hoorah!
  
• went and saw vicky cristina barcelona with miss dagger yesterday. i had been DYING to see it for months. i love woody allen films, and cherise had said good things about it when she saw it in europe. it was worth seeing. i may buy it in a few days. but overall it was sort of meh. penelope cruz, however, is UNREAL. she was worth every ticket dollar! holy crap. see it so you can see her!
• tonight i will be hanging with justin, i do believe. i may be addicted. yup.

i will be more diligent on blogging soon. i have just been very busy and happy.

languid lessons.

this week i am on vacation from work. after working hard and steadily for the entire summer, i need time to recoup. big time. days off, however, leave me bored and not knowing what to do with myself. i have basically been sleeping too much, reading a lot, whining about not enough exciting things going on, cleaning, and stuck on the computer. lammmmee.

justin and i had list spots for the jack's mannequin show at the grandstand yesterday via him pulling some strings with his manager and me knowing jack's manager. we both initially thought that the show was today, though, and i do not think he ever realized the correction. that better be the case, anyhow. oh well.

instead, heather and i went to major's (bleh) for fatty fatty foods (yum), went to blockbuster where we rented the first episode of a new vampire series on HBO (meh) and Superbad, which i have never seen (loved). i also pranced around in blockbuster in happiness for the 3 movies for $20 deal. i bought the other boleyn girl (not awful), sweeney todd, and definetly, maybe (my life). yay deals!

today i plan to run up to barnes and noble to pick up some editing books, the chicago manual of style, and whatever else i run into. later, mo is playing at the ugly mug downtown. thank god! something to do! i love love love his music, so i am extremely pumped for that tonight.

in the meantime, i am loving me some thunder and lightening. mmm. what else could a girl need?

these past few weeks have taken up territory in a strange land. i have found myself avoiding certain situations, people, and thoughts. i believe, within the next few weeks, things will become much more clear. for now, i am laying low and biding my time.

greater than x and lesser than y.

this weekend has been extremely lazy, and i have loved every second of it. waking up at noon to an iced coffee and a cigarette, watching movies for the entirety of the day, etc...

my parents flew to florida to visit my uncle and aunt, and so my sister and i have had the house to ourselves since friday and will until tuesday (since i temporarily am living here until i find a real job since graduating). i like empty houses and quiet. quiet, however, was not an option here on friday night, as my little sister threw a party with all of her friends. luckily, zach got ahold of me that night and proposed a movie night. perfect. we watched a few movies, drank some rum cocktails, and debated on how good/awful the castings of the actors were.

since then i have not done anything. i watched a movie called feast of love, which was not awful. i want morgan freeman as a friend so he can give me sagely advice. heather and i had an ice cream/movie night here last night. i have been doing a lot of tarot readings for myself.

oh. i also had the chance to make amends/validate myself/prove my worth to several people this week. it is like they all lined up to take their turn on the blade of me. i think i came out on top, and am very satisfied at the results. lindsay for the win.

currently i am job searching. moreso, i am networking. i doubt i will find a job of interest through any internet searching, so instead i am contacting those around me who i know could offer a hand in connecting me to a job choice in my interest. hopefully there will be something fruitful coming out of that. we will see.

it is early for me, still. and so i retire to nothingness. ahhh. the beauty.
