unforgiven and mr lucky

i watched unforgiven today, which is one of my top five films ever i'd say
i have a lot to say about it but i'm helping someone dear to me and i'll talk about that and mr. lucky tomorrow

just for now, isn't that roland of gilead in that photo there? i mean i realize the character was based on clint in his westerns, but i think that image is a perfect depiction of both men

where is amy???

this is how amy looks in my heart.

it's an odd dilemma
i miss seeing my darlin amy winehouse everywhere and knowing what goes on in her day to day life
but when we see her, she's always acting nuts and really fucked up on some bad drugs
don't get me wrong, i'm all for good drugs
but amy is my favorite new artist of the last couple years, as you may or may not know, and i love how much of a hot mess she can be, but i'm afraid she's going to die
my friend emily says she has a bet going on who's going to kick the bucket first, amy or lil wayne
sad. i wrote this way earlier in the day i've got some great stories lets see if i get too stoned to share them tonight

michael phelps and be kind rewind

my friends and i watched michael phelps and the us team win the freestyle.

the last american guy came from behind at the last minute to make a record and beating the french team by .004 seconds if i'm not mistaken

it was a pretty exhilarating moment honestly, made humorous by the fact that half an hour prior there was a little blurb in the bottom of the screen saying "29 minutes to michael phelps!" with a picture

but as he exulted in yet another gold medal (he's trying to break the record with 8 at one season of Olympic games) i found myself admitting that michael phelps is kind of a babe. i'm falling under his spell. the spelps!

and

i just watched be kind rewind

it is a nice little film that completely wrecks you with the situation the kooky characters end up in and then redeems you just as completely with the power of cinema

it's really just a love letter to the movies and to truly independent filmmaking

i cried it was so charming and it really made me wish i lived in a neat little town that all banded together to make movies

the story about my friends trying to buy blunts from a woman who didn't understand "up" coming tomorrow

tan cock!

there is a british swimmer on the olympic team named LIAM TANCOCK.
above is a real picture of him from his official website
when i first mentioned this to the friends i'm currently hitting a blunt and watching the olympics with they didn't really get it. then i repeated it and everyone thought it was funny. BECAUSE IT IS

date update

first off, i was searching for a picture of "creepy goth dudes" and instead found this hilarious site of overheard goth statements from nyc.
now for the story:
i have only been on one real date in my life.
i did not want to go on this date
it was with a rather tragic kinda gothic fellow (not the important one, just one of many in sea of reminders why i don't like goth dudes) this past spring
we were going to see cloverfield, for god knows what reason
i decided that instead of cancelling this date oh so rudely, i would just get drunk instead
i was pretty toasted when he came to pick me up (my car was in the shop, that's pretty much why i was being nice to him) and brought a flask in the theatre
i soon stopped drinking because like an asshole i hadn't remembered that movies done on handycams make me fucking motionsick
whatever, the point is the movie was lame, i wasn't nearly high enough (i'm the gal who smokes literally seconds before walking into the theatre and he was one of those people who won't let you smoke in their car), he didn't pay, i ran off to vassar afterwards (i'm pretty sure i had him drop me off there haha) and i was just like "what was the fucking point of this?" i had to break it to him after his audition the next day that i was sooooo not into it.
i later found out that he was engaged and on a break from his fiancee. the fiancee went a little nuts over the date (there was a peck goodbye because i'm not a total asshole. yes i am.) and fixated on me and it ended up ruining their engagement. he felt the need to tell me this on the last day of class, and i asked him why. he felt he owed it to me. where do these people find me? do i post on craigslist looking for stage five clingers? you've got to be kidding me.
anyway this was the long way of saying that i don't have a date tomorrow, but i am hanging out with that kid who asked for my number. hopefully it'll be cool.
i should go back up to poughkeepsie at some point shouldn't i? nahhh i'm having too much fun in the great state of nova. i was going to go back up to see the beautiful katie today, but the constant puking kind of stopped that. then my phone died. ok this entry wasn't that great, but the point is don't drink and see cloverfield with someone lame.

my big gay crush of the day!

rita moreno!
she is currently gracing my screen as a woman's rights activist on law and order svu, and i shrieked when i saw her
she is sister mary pete on oz, my favorite show
some stuff i just learned about her too:
"She is the first female and only Puerto Rican performer to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony."
she was the voice of carmen sandiego on the old show, which i used to think i could pwn
and she was in singin' in the rain!
some things i did know: she won her oscar for playing anita in west side story, one of the roles i covet above all others
she played the thai character of tuptim in the king and i, a movie almost entirely devoid of actual asian actors
o shit alfred molina is in this episode! it's like a big gay latino orgy on my screen and it makes me soooo happy. o and his lawyer is the douchey fiance from wedding crashers. they really go all out with their guest stars on this show. o my god angela lansbury? this is just getting silly.
another totally crazy thing just happened, a cool kid i didn't hook up with last night called my friend for my number, even though i kept quoting along with the movie when we watched knocked up. i think that's the movie i've seen most frequently since it's come out. i don't even think i have a greater ratio of times viewed since it came out with natural born killers, which i watch almost weekly. i am notorious for quoting along with movies when i get drunk, because as an actor i memorize lines stupidly easily.
anyway rita rita rita i love you so. she's 76 and i'd still hit it, she's a fucking legend and i'd hope some of her talent rubs off on me.

p.s. i had to add that fucking alvarez from oz is also apparently on law and order svu. are you kidding me?

jesus christ! another dead one!

isaac hayes died! this blows! he was a fucking legend in the music biz, wrote the oscar-winning theme song for shaft, and, of course, was most loved by all as chef on south park. he left the show because of the "trapped in the closet" episode, most famous for tom cruise, r kelly and john travolta refusing to come out of stan's closet, and a ludicrously true section about the religious doctrine of scientology. trey parker and matt stone made the astute observation that, as south park are equal opportunity offenders, it was kind of hypocritical of hayes to take offense and leave over an episode mocking his own religion, after mormonism, catholicism, judaism, and much much more had been relentlessly lampooned. whatever, it sucks that he's dead. and he was only as old as my dad! anyway, there's only one good thing that can come of this: COMMEMORATIVE SOUTH PARK MARATHON!
