While I’m coping with a lot of confusing emotions, I find comic book movies very soothing. Hero wins the day, black-and-white morality. Specifically, the humor of The Avengers and the idealism of Captain America. Superheros can always be trusted to try their hardest, do their best, have what’s right in their hearts. I can’t control…

Currently…in July 2013
My current Facebook profile pic – I thought it was fitting! Feeling: Thankful…(see yesterday’s vlog!) optimistic, and more than just a bit warm (NYC is having a crazy heat wave!) Watching: My Big Brother recommended me Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, because I was looking for an old musical and apparently I’m feeling very French lately? …
Science Fiction Rubber Creature
So I’m a little opinionated when it comes to Sci-Fi.My relationship with the genre is complicated. Unlike most people, I never saw Star Wars as a child, in fact, I never felt the urge. It didn’t seem to be my “thing.” My grandmother would sometimes watch Star Trek and to me, it looked confusing and…
On The Town, a.k.a. The Coolest Thing In My Apartment That Isn’t My Roommate
One of my favourite (because, let’s be real, there are so many) movies about New York City is a sweet little movie musical called On The Town, about three sailors on shore leave visiting New York City. If you’re snowbound right now, I strongly recommend it. It’s a sweet, funny adventure and it totally holds…
30DHN: A Favourite Movie
For Day 2 of 30 Days Hath November, we are supposed to write about a favourite movie. Everyone knows my two favourites. Hedwig and the Angry Inch, because it’s tattooed on my arm. And Gone With the Wind, because duh, I’m totally Scarlett O’Hara. But whenever I am sick, or sad, or ailing in any…
The Dangers of Male Friends
Source: Uploaded by user via Abigail on Pinterest The [terrible] movie When Harry Met Sally opines that men and women can’t be friends, because “the sex thing” always gets in the way. Or something. I only watched it once, because I completely disagree. I have many male friends with whom the “sex thing” is never…
Awesomely [BAD] Movies
Okay, so I’m gonna level: I have been having what Eli has cheerfully described as “a string of bad luck.” I lost my mind in an interview, left my keys at home by mistake this morning, and of course, there’s the haircut! Overworked, Underslept, I could do with some escapism. And that’s when we turn…
Well Whaddaya Say, Pilgrim?
Here’s an awkward moment I’m pretty sure most normal humans don’t encounter at their “normal” jobs: When the John Wayne impersonator strides up to you, starts doling out etiquette lessons, draws a self-portrait, and asks what your favourite movie of his is. I like The Quiet Man.
