Lay Your Head Down to Hear the Rumble of the Tracks

Are you all ever hyper-aware of your visual vocabulary?

To be honest, I'm not sure that's the right phrase, but loves, I love the sound of it.

When I have a moment to step away from what I bookmark and star, I find there are trends or patterns to the art I collect or pause at. Certain shapes or images or even palettes and compositions tug at me.

Aw, you're sweet! Thank you for the compliment. I love sharing art!

Oh, read the BOOK. The film captures the feeling of the book, yes, but the PROSE is stunning. And, of course, I am fascinated by his use of first person plural, the way he toys with gender and voyeurism, and the setting. I'm restraining myself from moving into full-on rant-rave.

I have a love-hate relationship with Sofia Coppola. Sometimes I love her work sometimes I dislike how self-aware it is (which is an ignorant or basic critique, I know: I just haven't worked out why I ping poing between adoring her films and disliking them). The word indulgent comes up, but, of course, that's sometimes the point (Marie Antoinette).

Oh, K. When I am between tutoring sessions or watching a film or television show -- except if it's something like Mad Men -- I am usually scrolling my way through my GoogleReader. Here, I have an embarrassing number of blogs/websites from which I cobble together these rambling posts. If you click the link above the t-shirt, you can find the store that sells GORGEOUS things. I swoon. I am keeping myself from re-clicking because I do not need to spend money right now.
