the world is ending. how will you spend your Last Night? (1998) directed by Don McKellar.




happy new year.

something must be done. something right now. today. this is going on because we let it. we've allowed decadence and apathy to corrupt and corrode our entire country. to the point we are rendered useless as a people. we sit in our houses, eating turkey, and watching the e! channel, while people starve to death under our noses. and we see nothing wrong with it. we spend billions on christmas gifts every year, while people are raped, tortured, and murdered under our watch. i will not stand for it. i hope you get a bullet for every gift card you buy.


happy holidays you bastards.

twilight still sucks.

let the right one in. i'm late on this, but that doesn't change the fact that it's really good. i think it's beautiful.

the things that nobody needs...

keep this in mind as you do your holiday shopping. this holiday season buy invisible.

i find your lack of faith disturbing...

something something something dark side... something something something complete.

charlie bartlett

the new year is almost upon us. fully frosted shortbread animal shapes... i think i'll miss you most of all.

HEY! it's me, Trale Lewous...

so... wtf winter? text me when you get here.

i hate the holidays...

**fig. 1












it's almost thanksgiving time. which means a couple things. food. friends coming home. someone dragging me to the mall for holiday shopping. a corpse roasting in the oven at 300 degrees for 3 and a half hours. **driving around the city. some jackass using the term "turkey day". my hair is 15 shades of something by new years. and my life's slow decent into some warped semblance of steve martin in planes, trains, & automobiles.




808's = best thing ever today
bootleg twilight = i don't see what the big deal is.

"We will be non-vi-o-lent"

this film is totally radical. get into it. it's too important to ignore. open your eyes, don't let the establishment make up your mind for you. this prescribed nonsense.





my mood changes every 15 minutes. my whole life is a sliding 'on a scale of one to ten' how to you feel's. 12 am- 5. 10am- 2. who knows where i'll be at 6pm.

"Victory. Honor. Pride. All these mean nothing... if you don't have balls."

i need a good laugh. and if you do too, this one goes out to you. go balls deep.

i want to skip over the holidays this year. not looking forward to seeing anyone. sorry. i wish i could sleep for weeks. wake me up when it's 2009.

i'm/you're just trying to save your/my soul.

THE FALL

i've been in a do it yourself/dig up the best stuff around mood lately. so here's something i think you should take your time with. i really hope you like this one. also, david fincher is amazing. try to get some sleep.



we're interchangeable like this. except for the times when we're not.

it has been a most triumphant day.

"Everything is different, but the same... things are more moderner than before... bigger, and yet smaller... it's computers... San Dimas High School football rules!!!"

it's beginning to look a lot like consumerism...

coming soon x 4bia

it's only me and you now. there's no word strong enough for us.

we all need a safe place in our heads to escape to sometimes. even though i can't control the people around me, and even though my mind spirals out of my control like a rug pulled from under my feet. sometimes, for some brief fleeting moments, it's clear in my little world, and i can breathe in the moment. this happens far less frequently than you can ever imagine. "when you want to end the world, you want to end me too."

i put the action in action sports (2/12)

watch the twitch episode right after this one. metal mulisha = freestyle motocross.

Told You So (Remember This Moment Always)

because i want to live in an oppression-free, green world where there is no war in uganda, and no starving children. i wanna see people zip around with flying cars in high top sneakers. i also feel like i'm way overdue for a hoverboard.


i made these hope-cakes tonight...

jesus was a left-wing radical jew.

trick or treat(s)...

i love halloween. the exorsist sucks. pay attention...

so ironic, it's not. so unironic, it is.

this was funny the first time i saw it. it was funny 20 times after that. and it's still funny today.



this is my favorite time of year. hoodie x sugar x horror

i need to be able to laugh right now.

Mitchell Lee Hedberg (February 24, 1968 – March 29, 2005)



"I like an escalator because an escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You would never see an "Escalator temporarily out-of-order" sign. Just "Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience. We apologize for the fact that you can still get up there."

i've always had trouble sleeping.

all grown ups are pirates...

if you haven't made up your mind by now...

...you're an idiot.

"cause i got it like that..."

i heard she went back on the show recently to announce that she's pregnant. i don't even know what to say.

According to Gallup polls 1 in 12 Americans is unaware that the Bird is the Word.

illusions... tricks are what whores do for money.

whenever i'm sick, all i want to do is lounge about in sweatpants and watch tv online. incidentally, that's all i ever want to do, but when i'm sick, i get to take a lot of pills too.

Pinkytoast is amazing. i love her work. this print especially caught my attention. but more like 'jumped out of a dark alley, knocked me out, and put duct tape over my mouth'. i'm completely paralyzed with how much i love it. i can't help but feel like this painting knows all my secrets, and she's ready to spill. i'm sorry if i always have that look on my face too.

Pinkytoast on ETSY



if you need me, i'll just be over here on this purple giraffe.

village pet store

this is amazing. somehow i feel like the pictures don't entirely capture the emotion in the room. like how i don't really think you "totally understand" anything i tell you. i think this needed to be done. i think it's important. i think we need more people like this.




this will go one of two ways. i'm scared i'll screw this up before we get to the good part. please be patient with me. i'm trying my hardest.

just document it well and don’t forget to hit -----

this sums up my feelings pretty much perfectly. thanks hollywood for not totally raping one of my favorite movies. don't think i don't appreciate it.

blacked out windows in haunted houses you're too scared to look into. you never know what monsters are in there. 'look at the structural damage, it's amazing she's still standing'.

caking makeup on the bruises (under my eyes), so no one knows what happens at home (i never sleep). i wish i could rip some sleep out of your tear ducts.

it doesn't seem that long ago...

checkin' em down...

after years, we've finally made it to 200. it's all HERE.

i am not invisible.

from invisiblechildren.com:
The war in northern Uganda has been called the most neglected humanitarian emergency in the world today. For the past 23 years, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Government of Uganda (GoU) have been waging a war that has left nearly two million innocent civilians caught in the middle. The GoU's attempt to protect its citizens from this rebel militia has largely failed, leaving an entire generation of youth that has never known peace.

The LRA rebel movement can be traced back to a woman named Alice Lakwena. In the 1980s, Lakwena believed the Holy Spirit spoke to her and ordered her to overthrow the Ugandan government for being unjust to the Acholi. Lakwena and her followers, known as the Holy Spirit Movement, gained momentum as resentment toward the government increased. When Lakwena was exiled and no clear leader of the movement was left, Joseph Kony, who claimed to be Lakwena’s cousin, took control and transformed Lakwena’s rebel army into the LRA.

Kony’s LRA did not receive the same support as the Holy Spirit Movement because of their extreme tactics. With dwindling support for their cause and heightened government offensives, the rebels resorted to abducting children and indoctrinating them into their ranks. It is estimated that more than 90% of the LRA’s troops were abducted as children.

In 1996, as a response to the LRA attacks in the villages, the Ugandan government forcibly evicted thousands from their homes, relocating them into overcrowded camps in hopes of providing protection. But over a decade later roughly 1 million individuals still live in these camps and struggle to survive among the effects of abject poverty, rampant disease, and near-certain starvation.

In recent years more and more international attention has been focused on this crisis. In 2001, the US Patriot Act officially declared the LRA to be a terrorist organization - a huge step in drawing attention to the conflict and the atrocities committed by the LRA. In 2004, Congress passed the Northern Uganda Crisis Response Act, the first piece of American legislation to address this disaster. And in 2005, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Joseph Kony and four of his top commanders.

Pressure from the international community (especially from EU and Canada) plus a strong desire to realize peace has brought the Government of Uganda and the LRA to the negotiating table on numerous occasions, though they have yet to find a peaceful resolution. The most recent talks commenced in Juba, Sudan in July 2006, and a Cessation of Hostilities Agreement was signed the following month. In July 2007, in response to an increased concern for peace in northern Uganda by the American people, the US appointed Tim Shortley, Senior Advisor for Conflict Resolution to Assistant Secretary of State Jendayi Frazer, with his immediate focus on northern Uganda; this action solidified the US’s commitment to end this conflict peacefully. That same year, the United Kingdom solidified their commitment to peace by allocating £70 million in aid, while Germany committed to increasing aid to Uganda by 25% by October 2010. Canada later became more than an international supporter of the peace process in February 2008 by joining the peace talks as an official observer (though the Canadian officer on the ground has since been removed from the region).

At this point in time, the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement has expired, the Final Peace Agreement (FPA) has yet to be signed and rebel leader Joseph Kony’s intentions have yet to be clarified. Without any resolution to the war, many of the displaced are hesitant to return home without any assurance that they will not be displaced once again.

In light of this ambiguity, Invisible Children is committed to seeking sustainable solutions to foster an environment that encourages peace. We are supporting and equipping a generation ravaged by war so that they can finally know peace. Our programs address the need for access to education and economic development through three innovative programs on the ground.

"my anus is bleeding..."

pamela sent this to me a while back. i was like the last person ever to find out about this, but whatever. on october 24, amazingly also pamela's birthday, the music box theatre in chicago with have a one night only event. "An Evening with Don Hertzfeldt". a collection of his shorts and his new film "i am so proud of you". the screening will be immediately followed by a live on-stage interview and audience q&a with the man himself, don hertzfeldt. classic. oh yeah, and it's only $7.

sugary t-shirt goodness

it would be criminally negligent on my end if i mentioned loyal army, and not johnny cupcakes. unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years, you most definitely know who this is. but you have to admit, the boy deserves props for his amazing work. do a little digging, and you'll uncover all kinds of amazing things. speaking of grand scale august store openings, the l.a. johnny cupcakes location opened up on the 2nd. of august at 7959 Melrose Ave Los Angeles, CA. so you know, if you're in the area... swing on by.

johnny was also voted #1 2008's Best Entrepreneurs 25 and Under by BusinessWeek. nice...

super mega ultra coolness...

Loyal Army Clothing---established in November 2005 by Brian Dold. the landmark store just opened up in august. located at 1728 haight st, san francisco, cal.

"Loyal Army is all things cute, fun, happy and flirty. We focus on bringing young women's confidence to the surface with our quirky, colorful, and conversational graphics! Each design captivates a wonderful message of self-expression and character. Our bright, bold colors and our crazy characters just want to make friends with you and invite you to join our army of cuteness!"




sleep easy... rest well... i'm up for days watching old movies and eating cereal.

at last they're here!

the vaider high tops i've been waiting like..... days for. oh yeah... check them out, and all their *majesty*. the best thing i've acquired all year. seriously.



oh yeah, there's also that new 24" imac.

remember, wherever there's a scandal, there's a guy ripley!

TAI TV –noun. stands for The Academy Is... TV. It is a video podcast created by the band The Academy Is.... The band made TAI TV so that the fans could become more involved with what goes on backstage and in the tour bus, etc. TAI TV episodes are now available on the iTunes podcasts. New TAI TV can be seen every Sunday night at 9/8c at The Academy Is website.

they tell me it's the sincerest form of flattery.

i refuse. i mean, i flat out REFUSE to use any other hair dye. this is where i get my swagger from. you will never find a better hair dye anywhere. i've never been happy with the way i look until i found special effects. if nothing else, my hair looks amazing. don't even try to play like it doesn't. to look in the mirror and love what you see comes before any of the stares, the comments, the pictures, or the opinions. i use sfx atomic pink to create the perfect anne-type illusion.

i don't like to feel excluded or strange in that way. called out in public like i'm an attraction on the side of the freeway. it makes sense then that the only people who wanna stop by are the people desperate for a cheap thrill in the middle of the desert. no one of substance would think to look twice. i can see what your about to say behind your eyes before it even occurs to you to say it. the meanings of words start to warp together. every time you say "interesting" all i hear is "different". every time you start a sentence with "i love..." everything goes fuzzy for a second and a "thank you" rolls off my tongue before i can even stop myself. i couldn't care less about what you like, dislike, or what crazy teenage fad your offspring is going through. i promise you that 90% of the 'thanks' i don't mean. i'm not thankful that i have to justify who i am to someone who points out the things about me they're to chicken shit to do themselves. "is it hard dealing with people like that?" "not as hard as i imagine it is for people like that to deal with themselves." you're a coward, and the whole world knows it.




ah yes, i remember it like it was just yesterday and not 3 years ago. ducking into the first L.A. salon i could find and demanding "pink! i want pink! anything so i don't look like them..."

Do you think about me now and then?

right here, in this moment, everything is warm. everything is calm. the light splatters across every wall, and bleeds down every surface. my eyes soak up the bloodbath and i'm as close to peace as i'll ever feel.




this is where my compass leads. on this river. under these train tracks.

maybe one day...

...until then everyone else can blow me. i'm getting sick. fill me full of drugs and put me to sleep.



currently: waiting on frank 'the six-o-clock mailman' to bring me my teal supras.

megalodon is still my all-time favorite.

holy shit dude, that's cool! i'm such a nerd about dinosaurs. it's ridiculous.

and how badass is Dinosaur George? i love how he wears that beige vest like he's actually 'on-site' at some dig somewhere. he's like, the coolest dinosaur expert ever.



i had jury duty today. sucks so soooo bad.

"i can't sleep" is what i tell him. the "next to you" hangs heavy in the air between us.

1. a sufficient lack of restorative sleep over a cumulative period so as to cause physical or psychiatric symptoms and affect routine performances of tasks.

aching muscles
blurred vision
clinical depression
daytime drowsiness
loss of appetite
decreased mental activity and concentration
weakened immune system
dizziness
dark circles under the eyes
general confusion
hallucinations (visual and auditory)
hand tremors
headache
hyperactivity
hypertension
impatience
irritability
memory lapses or loss
nausea
paranoia
psychosis-like symptoms
slowed reaction time
slurred and/or nonsensical speech
sore throat
stuffy nose
delirium

yeah, looks like all of the symptoms check-out.



coincidentally, i do my best writing when i’ve been up for a couple days.

what we did is secret.

i remember this night and this exact moment. i remember where i stood, and who I was with. i remember every detail in brilliant technicolor. i remember the way it smelled and how cold it was that night. i remember the way my veins would buzz and how it felt to be me inside my own skin. this might not mean anything to you, but it means everything to me. the details are mine. if you weren’t a part of it, you don’t deserve to know.

don’t let yourself trivialize the moments you’ll reference later. you need every single piece of the puzzle if you wanna make any sense of the big picture.



i hope this night remembers what i was like.

i wish i could be around stuff like this all the time.

this is one of my favorite places to waste an hour before a show. everything in here is a winner. i bought so much stuff, i almost didn't have enough room in my luggage to bring it all back. gift cards and goodies. they have it all. i almost picked maude up because i thought she was a plush doll. but then she blinked at me and let out a little 'huff', and i nearly tripped over my own feet.

"this too?"
"huh? oh. i must have picked that up by mistake. ...whatever, i'll take that too."



does my skin always smell like sugar? it does right now.

we all know what happened midnight on friday in south carolina. let's just try our best to be respectful. i'm absolutely disgusted by the coverage on tmz. there's no way you could be more invasive with something so private. people are devastated by this thing. it's not mine or anyone else's place to insert a personal opinion right now. obviously i hope they aren't as traumatized as i know i'd be.

Dr. Fred Mullins, medical director at georgia's Joseph Still Burn Center, announced that Travis Barker and DJ AM "are expected to make a full recovery." that's all that matters at this point.




it sucks that my brother and sister have to grow up in this celebrity-soaked culture.

how far would you go?

to save a life. to end a war. to change the world.

SOON.





keep your eyes open and your ear to the ground. we are the revolution.

Test

Test

that's enough, 20th century fox. that's enough.

i don't know if you've seen the trailer for the 2008 'day the earth stood still'. so check it out. it's pretty bad. this is the original. and the only acceptable version.

i have complete and total faith in hollywood's ability to destroy this movie with a remake. unless keanu reeves is playing a character named ted, i have zero interest in any film he's in. they might as well cast anthony michael hall. that would seriously make just as much sense.

(for the record, excelent adventure was totally better than bogus journey.)


i'm not looking forward to the poltergeist or dark crystal remakes either.

the terror of the force of the air!

so a month into this thing, i only now realize the true nature of this blog. it just another one of my ocd lists. leave no stone uncovered. commit every detail to memory. so i have to include everything. even if it looks like i'm late on things like this. the whitest kids u know is the best thing to happen to sketch comedy since kids in the hall.

i put the action in action sports. (1/12)

dear ryan sheckler, i liked you a lot more before you turned into such a massive whore.

Chaz Ortiz is full fledged pro as of today. he won the fourth stop of the 08 dew tour. this kid's 14, and he makes me so excited for the future of skateboarding.
there's a lot about street skating that i don't like. it could be the seemingly personal bias of the judges that bleeds onto the scoreboard. it could be the overtly competitive attitude of street skaters. it could be the shecklerettes. or it might just not be high enough, fast enough, and dangerous enough to hold my interest for very long. but there's just something about a kickflip frontside boardside/kickflip out, that gets me really excited.

rawr.

probably my favorite sequel since empire or evil dead 2. i dont know that i could pinpoint how or why. it just appeals to me on a very primitive level.


jurassic fight club is an amazing show. what's your favorite dinosaur? inpo, my top 5: allosaurus, barosaurus, stegosaurus, tyrannosaurus, megalodon.

austin was nice.

i got my cupcakes. they're delicious.

haven't had a panic attack in almost a week. working on getting better. i'm pretty ok.

(512)

this is where you can find me today, tomorrow, and two days after that. it always feels good to wake up in a different place and look out the window and see new things. even if your pillows don't smell like home, and the towels are always scratchy. i'm excited to drive through your city and sit in your coffee shops.

spoiler alert: the scene where the duck dies in journey to the center of the earth(1959) always makes me cry. and then they find atlantis and i'm like, 'booyah! redemption!'



if i could see you now, i'd kiss the corner of your mouth and tell you that everything's going to be ok. this means something to someone somewhere.

thought i told you that we won't stop...

the first 10 seconds of this are gold.

this was mildly entertaining the first time i saw it. but watching it again and again, it becomes funnier and funnier somehow. you start to notice things you missed before and reasonable questions arise. why is he spinning in circles? where is he? were there other people around during this? why didn't someone intervene at the 1:00 mark before it started to get boring and repetitive? does he actually believe the words he's saying because you catch a moment of sheer and utter confusion. like he has absolutely no idea what's gong on. is he getting dizzy? 'millions'... really, do people take this man seriously enough to turn out in the millions to vote based solely off of diddy's prompting? how many drugs is he on right now? awesomely bad. aw, i miss you crazy version of puff daddy. i wish you hung around more. we can only pray for some more 'ciroc obama blogs'.


and yes i agree, john mccain IS bugging the fuck out. i would have bet my bottom dollar on john mccain/"mittens" romney in the final round.

pamela took a picture like this.

yeah, so i know the sound is off by a couple seconds. another version i can't embed.

i always wanted to make movies like this. one of my favorites.

my head feels clear under these lights.

i love this city. it's my favorite place to be in the entire world. everything makes more sense in this place. everything is amplified.

keep your hollywood hills. this is the happiest i've ever been.

copyright to me. i took this from 960 feet in gotham's tallest building. if you can make sense of all this i applaud you.

i've been unhappy all the time...

you have been warned: NSFL. seriously. this isn't here for you. this is here for me. don't let your curiosity get the best of you.

this is one of my favorite movies ever. i can't say why exactly. it might speak volumes of my mental state, but there's something about this one that just makes me squirm.





(highlight and delete every time i ever loved you.) the lies are starting to bleed into one another.

i believe in barack obama.

it takes a lot to impress me. it takes even more to get me excited about something. but this guy does it for me. i really do trust in this guy. 4 years ago at the 2004 dnc he refered to himself as "that skinny kid with a weird name." i loved him that day and i've backed him ever since.

salvation can be yours for $19.86

i'm the total christian package. oh yeah, i'm all about jesus. you can tell because i have his porcelain likeness perched on my bookshelf.


it always amazes me how elitist people can be about stuff they're into. like, pretty much everything i love is ruined by people who were 'into it first'. or have to have something i have because they have no personality of their own, so they leach onto my shit. just because you have more of a product, doesn't mean you're more 'into it' than someone else. just because you go to church every week, doesn't make you a good person. just because you preach to people and believe you're right, doesn't mean that you are right. not everything is a contest.

if you're going to be a scumbag, own it. just admit you're a scumbag. if you won't be honest with me, at least be honest with yourself.

winnie > topanga

there's a million different ways to interpret this, depending on your perspective i guess. i remember watching this on tv when it aired the first time, and having so much hope for them. looking back now, i should have guessed how it would all end.

i can't wait to see what happens next.

80% of the time, i feel like this all the time.


i hate the blatant nationalism of the olympics. thank god it only comes around every 4 years.

throwin' it up!

if i have to suffer through this, so do you. i will never ever be able to get this song out of my head now, thanks kanye.

blues in the evening...

i suppose you could replace 'hospital' with 'hollywood' and it would be just as relevant. right?

this has been my little secret for a while now, but i'll share it with you, because this is just too good to miss out on. this can fix any bad stuff that might happen in your day.

if i could fix you, i would.

if something's on here, you can go ahead and assume it's one of my
favorite 'whatever's'.

close your eyes or listen to this song in the dark. this fits for my right now.

i'll pretty much eat anything if it comes out of a plastic bear.

say it with me in your best guy ripley voice, "delicious!"

i started this whole thing because no one believes that i like anything. i know i'm pretty abrasive and off-putting. most of the time i complain about most everything. so i don't doubt that people would make that assumption. don't feel bad, it amazes me too that i have the capacity to love things.

also, to you, i see right through you. and i don't care about the substandard, second-rate future i can see laid out at your feet. don't bother to fight this, i already know every decision you'll ever make. don't bite my style.

a/s/l?

to catch a predator was the greatest thing to ever happen to dateline nbc. i always catch myself feeling bad for the guy in this clip. he just seems so nice. and then i remember he's there to have sex with a 12 year old girl and then i just laugh and laugh. i swear, i could spend hours clicking my way through youtube's 'related videos' sidebar.
who cares if that one guy killed himself. come on nbc, bring back my favorite show.

ice cream soda pop, vanilla on the top...

this is one of my favorite scenes ever. i'm glad that i'm lucky enough to have someone that i consider to be the josh to my billy. everyday i feel like this. in a very 'i feel like i don't know who you are anymore' way. 'you're gonna have to prove to me you're still the same guy.' how does it feel to wake up one day and have everything you ever wanted, and not know what to do with it?

fresh to death.

nas has been one of my favorite rappers for a while now. and i've never been able to explain why exactly. here's why.

this is my favorite song so far this year. the new album is amazing.

9

shane acker directed this short film and tim burton is going to turn it into a full length feature this year. it's totally the craziest thing i've ever seen it's like a dark crystal/wall-e acid trip. get into it. it's amazing.

update! apparently, nobody gives a shit!

this is the funniest thing i've seen in a really long time. kinda old. i've been going on and on about this for a while now, but if only for archival purposes, i'll put it here.

they're coming for you barbara...

more joe havasy.

so yes, i realize that there are several things in this world that i refer to as "pretty much the greatest thing ever". and zombies. well, they're another one of those things. i'm actually pretty nerdy about it in a 'technically' kind of way. like, 'technically' the 1990 'night of the living' is savini directed, but using almost the exact same screenplay frrom 1968 and with romero producing, i manage to count it as my all time favorite romero flick of all time. something about comatose barbara in '68 is a real turn-off. '90's barbara was one tuff bitch. and also, candyman kicks ass. yeah yeah, 'technically' so fuck you too. i love any and all horror movies, yes. but the underline political statements of the zombie movie must be noted and appreciated.

i'm absolutely convinced of the impending zombie apocalypse, so i think it's important we all plan our escape routes now. in a very real 'what would you do' way. it would be cute if this was just some nerdy quirky thing i joke about, but i'm actually serious.

buy the zombie survival guide. it's my bible. a small glimpse into the way my mind works.
1. organize before they rise!
2. they feel no fear, why should you?
3. use your head: cut off theirs.
4. blades don't need reloading.
5. ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
6. get up the staircaise, then destroy it.
7. get out of the car, get onto a bike.
8. keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert.
9. no place is safe, only safer.
10. the zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.

Joe Havasy does some amazing work. as far as independent artists go, he's one of my favorites. totally twisted, but somehow adorable. i fell in love with these a while back, and thought you had to see it to believe it. go check out his stuff on etsy.

austin, you're awesome.

austin is a lovely place to visit. i look back on my times there with fond memories. but seriously, i don't know that i would want to move there. there is only one single solitary reason i would ever want to stay full time.

hey cupcake.

there are few things in this world that i love more than this cupcake van. very few things. and honest to god, their red velvet are to die for. to kill for actually. i hope they have cupcakes in heaven, cause i'm gonna murder your ass if you get the last red velvet after i've been waiting in line for half an hour.

just a little sugary treat that seems to turn down the volume on everything that's terrible.

go ninja, go ninja, go!

the greatest super villian the world has ever known? when i was 4 years old i sure as hell thought so.



the greatest video game in the history of gaming? when i was 4 years old i sure as hell thought so.
so here's the deal, when i was a kid, i was absolutely convinced that i was going to grow up and fight crime with the turtles. i would wear my michelangelo halloween costume all the time. i swear to god, if it were up to me, i would have had pizza every night for dinner. but my mom was concerned for my health. i had every book. every video. and every playset. i used to get pissed off when my grandma would call it "playing". i was "training".

"do turtles eat cinnimon toast? i made some." haha i love you grandma.

over the years, i've grown wiser and refinded my tastes. but seriously, not by much.

my childhood, uncut and in it's purest form.

ok, so i have to tell you, the nike optimus prime air trainers are the sweetest kicks i've ever seen. it's really not a matter of want anymore, i straight up need these shoes. i need them the way i need most things i become obsessed with. like right now,i'm really into soft serve ice cream, chinese lo mein noodles with white rice, caramel lattes, and these shoes.

au naturale...

i'm pretty much obsessed with japan and everything that comes out of there.

japanese company mindscape has this "peddy" collection. chia furniture. i need this in my life.



i really am trying to make it out of this. i'm trying really hard to smile and sleep and talk like everything's ok. the only way i can be me again is if i stop seeing your sad eyes every time i look in the mirror.

come find me in the future...

i've always felt a little off axis. a little off center. move everything two inches to the left. i've been sophie my whole life. the most simplistic breakdown of how my mind works.

so yeah, i was hating on christian bale for his lame batman/tourettes guy impersonation in dark knight. but honestly, bale as howl, is absolutely perfect.

this is seriously my favorite movie of all time.




i'm still waiting for the boy who's going to sweep me up, and carry me over the rooftops.

gentlemen you cant fight in here, this is the war room!

tonight at the fountain theatre in las cruces at 9:45 there will be a showing of dr. strangelove. it's the last almost midnight movie at the fountain, so to see you all would be amazing.

right in the middle of a big nose bleed. bad omen for the day i guess.

hey cupcake, we will be together again soon. i promise.




i want to start painting again.

living art...

these fish pods hang flush against the wall, and are just generally awesome. they hold about a gallon of water, so they can accomodate any teeny tiny fish. this is way cooler than any poster you could hang up.

i feel nice. like sugar and spice...

Young @ Heart is a chorus line from North Hampton. it's members average 80+ years old. they sing everything from james brown to the ramones. they're like the coolest old people ever.

“Can you hold on for a second? I’m on my hamburger phone. It’s just like really awkward to talk on.”


Fox Searchlight sent these out to critics at advanced screenings.
