Last night Ryan and I watch Tod Browning's Freaks for the first time. I've been wanting to see it for years, but only just got around to it. We both observed that it was hard to keep reminding our eyes that the things we were seeing on screen were real, that our brains just automatically thought, "That's some good CGI," or "Wow, that guy did a good ( Read more... )

Man, what a kickass day I had. I started it off with a bang by getting my hairs cut: I now have bangs for the first time since I was about eight years old! I think it's pretty damn cute. It needs time to settle, so no pictures yet. Don't worry, they'll come ( Read more... )

So, here's a funny story. A few weeks ago, someone I used to know and haven't seen in ages popped into my head (or popped onto my playlist, really).

TAKE IT, SUPERSTITION!

The bad news is that Nickel Creek is going on a "break of indefinite length." It's understandable: they've been a band for 17 years, and the last seven have been spent recording and touring nearly nonstop. And it's not as if they won't keep doing their solo stuff...and I did get to see them twice...and they might get back together some day ( Read more... )

Dear imdb.com,
Thank you for providing me with information, like the age of Paul Dano from Little Miss Sunshine (22), so I don't feel like such a dirty old woman.
