winter musings

with this terribly stormy weather the past few days i've been nesting on my ikea futon for more hours than is probably good. however sad that might seem, there have been a few fun developments:

Weardrobe 100 i think that everyone should visit this fun site. it is 100 people with great wardrobes. lots of bloggers, models, photographers and students. i hope to be as fabulous as them someday (soon).

i started a tumblr for my more ADD, everyday (or multiple times a day), undeveloped thoughts. a link can be found to the left (next to all the cool things i think you should check out that i'm checking out).

i booked my trip to visit Portland! i'm going thursday Feb 11th in the evening and returning monday Feb 15th. i won't be in town for Valentine's day but that shouldn't really be a problem i hope. i never liked the (fake) holiday and don't think i really want to be a part of it now. although the economy is pretty shitty, so lovers, GO BUY STUFF!

today was the first day of the next 16 weeks of my life. in other words, i started at sac city college. thank god my last day of freedom was good. but yea, basically i hate it but that probably has something to do with the fact that it was pouring down rain and ridiculously windy for the entire day or that my first day also happened to be a Tuesday (i have 4 classes). luckily i was added to the 2 classes i was wait listed for, including my Illustrator class. city college might be the economical thing to do when you want to go to college but for some reason or another able to go to a four year institution but it is just not the place for me. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO TO PORTLAND!

The Assassination of Jesse James

i just finished watching one of the longest, but most beautiful and intriguing films: The Assassination of Jesse James. the film, suspenseful and eerie, follows Robert Ford (Casey Affleck) as he attempts to earn the admiration of his lifetime hero, Jesse James (Brad Pitt). James is the king of the outlaw world with a large sum of money on his head and Robert finds himself making a deal with law enforcement and in a predicament of whether or not he should betray his lifelong hero or keep his end of the bargain. Brad Pitt, often under rated as an actor and overrated as a man of good looks, creates a fascinating and psychotic character and young Affleck definitely shines far beyond his brother Ben (whom i find to be a terrible actor). if you have both the patience and time, and an appreciation for beautiful cinematography, i highly recommend this one.
