liquor and literature
Um. Oh, my god.
That's all I'm going to say about the events of last night/early this morning. I'm still hungover. All I can stomach is grilled cheese and tiny sips of club soda. When will I learn?

I've been toying with the idea of starting a lit blog (literary blog? Literature blog? Something). I don't pay enough attention to pleasure reading during school. Well, because reading 300 pages of history and philosophy a week sucks up all my time. And also makes it hard to want to stare at a print-covered page for fun. Also, I really love to talk about books, my pseudo-pretentious opinions and authors and the crazy things they do. But many of my friends aren't readers, and the ones who are can't really match my, shall we say, enthusiasm (where enthusiasm = obsessive compulsive disorder).
I don't even care if no one reads it, I just want to get my opinion out there in the world. It would make me more accountable in terms of my writing, too.
But I can't think of any good titles. I wanted to be really pretentious and go with a lit term like caesura or synesis, but they were all taken over at Blogger. So, any suggestions for me? Let me know.

The Illusionist - oh, my. I know I'm already saving myself for John Cusack, but I'd like to add Edward Norton to the list. Every movie I see him in makes me love him more. So naturally, I loved him being showcased in this film. Which was, overall, good: excellent storytelling (and great idea for a movie - funny that two movies about magic came out this year), good acting by Ed and Paul Giamatti (and Rufus Sewell, who does bad boys so well), great costumes and sets, etc. What a real movie should be, you know? And I LOVED the ending. I won't give it away, but SO GOOD.
