Adios, LJ world! I'll probably peek at my f-list once in a while, but I don't plan to post any more, so peace out, y'all. It's been real. -
a modest proposal
7/11/09. It's free slurpee day at the 7-11. It also happens to be my wedding day.
Dear Cristin,
I promise that at/before my wedding, there will be
*no slurpees (no 7-11 in town, oh noes!)
*no skank, meth-head North Alabama strippers
*no one wearing anything that says "bride" or "groom"
*no dumbass games
*no one who thinks it's a good idea to seat you next ( Read more... ) -
one mystery solved, one to go
Why Helen is hanging out in the Big Apple (from the Mail):
Helen Mirren's busy in New York rehearsing a film version of The Tempest with director Julie Taymor - and the Oscar-winning actress will give us a Prospera rather than a Prospero.
Taymor's preparing her company of actors at a studio space in Manhattan and plans to fly her cast to Hawaii in ( Read more... ) -
julie will get this
How can this much fabulousness be in one place at one time without permanently altering the space time continuum? And how can I be oblivious to it when it's in freakin' Midtown?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

go ahead, make my day
This photo just did :) Auntie Taye thanks Jennii for the fact that she is now grinning like an idiot. From the USC-Ohio State football game last weekend:

reinventing the wheel
Sometimes that's what I feel like I'm doing, both intellectually and emotionally. Intellectually because each day when I begin doing research, I'm afraid I'm going to stumble upon someone who has already written the dissertation (or book) I want to write. (Had a close call yesterday -- from the title, it sounded like exactly what I have in mind, ( Read more... ) -
"We should all look like Helen Mirren. She's in the middle of every --"
I'm having one of those days when I annoy even myself. I'm restless but totally unmotivated, and can't focus on anything. I've accomplished zilch today. If it were possible to do negative work, that would be what I've done today. Waste. Of. Space.
Clare, the photo you liked, dear heart, was from the 2007 SAG awards. Yes, Helen looked fabulous. Here ( Read more... ) -
the lord told noah to build an ark
I'm having one of those days where I'm cranky and irritated and generally discontent with humanity, especially soaking wet humanity wielding oversized, pointy umbrellas on New York City sidewalks in the midst of the Great Deluge.
I had to go out and run an errand earlier. PERFECT timing. By the time I got home I was cartoon-character-drenched, the ( Read more... ) -
no good deed, etc.
I believe that I, like Jane Tennison, have made an error in judgment. (No, NOT the same one she made!) Several months ago I became friends with someone who is relatively new to the city, and in fact to life on her own. She's a lot younger than I am, and very sweet and a little naive. Recently I saw that she was becoming very close to someone I've ( Read more... ) -
the daily helen: sunday
I am sitting here in my apartment on a Sunday evening. My preparatory work for tomorrow is done, I've had a cup of real English black tea, my cat is curled up next to me (she's giving me the kitty stiff-arm, but that's immaterial), Helen Mirren is on my TV, and I find myself wrapped up in this total sense of well-being.
I've spent most of my day ( Read more... )
