About

Welcome to the dumping ground for all my random thoughts and strokes of genius. Tread carefully.

P.S. The title comes from a Dorothy Parker quote. "This is not a novel to be tossed lightly aside. It should be thrown with great force."
Replace "novel" with just about anything else and you've got yourself some damn good words to live by.

Looking for something specific?

Second best thing about Public Enemies 
When movies are shot from the perspective of the criminals, it’s easy to sympathize with them and turn the law enforcement into the bad guys. Christian Bale made it really hard for me to be totally for or against either side. I thought he and I were fucking done, professionally, but I loved him in this role. 
Second most favorite thing about the movie: him hanging onto the side of a car, machine gun out, as they’re careening through the woods looking for the bank robbers. Badass.

People are gonna call you names everyday of your life. But you have to remember this one thing. It’s not what people call you, but what you answer to.

I’ve actually never heard this, but I actually really love it.

Let me be for real right now. 
Johnny Depp is sex. Ok? And Johnny Depp + John Dillinger, when we’re talking about a gal who has a thing for glammed up gangsters, is pure perfection. I loved Johnny Depp in Public Enemies, and I loved John Dillinger as portrayed by Johnny Depp, and I can guarantee you that if a man looking and acting and talking like Dillinger/Depp came up to me and said ”I like baseball, movies, good clothes, whiskey, fast cars … and you. What else you need to know?” I’d sure as hell drop everything and go be his girl. I know it would be a terrible dangerous idea but really, how could I say no? I couldn’t. 
Also, Johnny Depp at the end, in the pastels and linen pants looked like he was already prepping for Rum Diaries and yeah I can’t wait for that one either.

Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.

We got more educated, more independent, more socially aware of what’s politically correct, more permissive and open, all the right things we’ve always wanted. But relationships have gotten worse leaving successful people unhappy. Divorce rates are at their highest. What did we do wrong? Did we miss something?

I like convalescent’s answer: “I think we got so independant that we forgot that it’s important to rely on others sometimes. That made us afraid of relationships- and love.”

Hatey

I was totally on a roll before lunch and wouldn’t’ve stopped but I had a lunch date w/ an old friend that ran too long and now my eyes are so tired I can’t keep them open and my brain feels like a 5000-lb. rock inside my skull and my nose keeps running and my eyes keep watering and the book I was going to get my dad for Father’s Day but didn’t buy yet b/c I knew I wouldn’t see him until this weekend is out of stock and I’m out of options. And I have a shitload of bugbites. Like, my ankles are red and swollen from all the bites that they don’t even look like ankles anymore. Pretty, huh?

Decisions, Decisions...

I was going to order myself two days of the Blueprint Cleanse b/c after the last few weeks, and after this weekend, I expect I’ll need it. (Two or three 4ths of July ago, I actually did my own green tea fast on the 5th b/c I was so stuffed and felt so awful.) And there’s a sale going on.

Yesterday was supposed to be a detox day but, um, it included some ice cream and coconut M&M’s (omg so excited to find these they’re my new favorite yum) and somehow, despite having nothing in my apt to cook for dinner, I ended up feeling overly full and gross and uncomfortable.

But now, I’m thinking that for the cost of the Cleanse, which is 2 days of a liquid diet basically, I can get 3-7 cute summer sundresses, depending on which ones I buy. And I crave summer sundresses. And they’ll last much longer than 12 bottles of juice.

Also, the body paint safety video is the most engaging take on the spiel I’ve seen (the accents maybe?) and I can now say I really truly feel like I’d be able to put that mask on perfectly.
