Things I love Thursday (again!)

Perfume, A story of a murderer.
(imdb link)
One of the best movies I have seen in a little while. I fall in love with most visually stunning movies, even if the plot is lacking. (aka mirrormask) But this movie had everything. It was a little on the dark side (well, possibly more then a little). But to be perfectly honest, those type of movies are my favorite. Some parts reminded me of an adult version of series of unfortunate events.
My new summer college courses
I go to school year round, and for the summer I chose to take two psychology courses. The first will be developmental psychology and the second is human sexuality. I love to learn about why people and act the way they do. I gain so much insight in these sorts of classes.

Things I love thursday

March 6, 2008 · Filed under fun, stuff

Planning my upcoming trip to New Orleans.

My mom (who lives across the country) and I were sick of visiting each other in our own states (her California, me Maine) so we decided to meet somewheres in the US neither of us have been. After much consideration on my part I chose New Orleans because in late April / early May (during my birthday) a huge jazz/blues music festival will be taking place. Along with that we plan on taking a bloody Mary voodoo tour, eating the spiciest food we can find, and attending a few burlesque shows. I will post more about my plans as I make them.

Thanks to all of you. I know their still aren’t many but I need to keep positive and keep posting. I plan to get a post every other day. If you have anything you would like me to write about feel free to make suggestions.

Geek Chic (part one)

February 19, 2008 · Filed under creativity, fun, stuff · Tagged , ,

You may or or may not know by now, that I am a MAJOR geek. And Not too long ago Gala Darling (my all time favorite blogger) wrote a fabulous article about dressing “Geek Chic” which inspired me to write more about the look and lifestyle of a young, stylish, geeky female.
Lets start with accessories.
Ipod/Mp3 player
(every geek I’ve come across has been into various types of music)
Books
(Do I really have to give an explanation)
Post-it notes
(I love how they come in so many shapes, colors, and sizes now!)
A Journal
(A place to keep your favorite literary quotes, thoughts, and dreams)
A variety of pens
(for writing in journal and love notes)
Anything hello kitty
(Not everyone loves her but I know I do)
Pins/Badges
(great way to show off your interests and decorate a plain purse)
Really Cute Charactors
( Think Hello Kitty, Julius, or anything Kawaii)
(I will do a post on kawaii characters later on)
Video Games!
(my boyfriend just got me the pink DS and I absolutely love it!)

I’m back! 5 Things you need to see/do/read

February 17, 2008 · Filed under Uncategorized

1. Watch My Neighbor Toroto if you haven’t already. It is a Studio ghibli film that is wonderful to those who are not hardcore anime fans. It made me wish I was surrounded by people who believed in spirits.

see also Spirited Away

2. Listen to anything by Yann Tiersen. He is the creator of the Amelie Soundtrack and many other wonderful pieces of music.

MY FAVORITE

(Click above to hear)

3. Start a quote collection.

We have to keep one for the new business class I am taking, It’s my favorite part of class.

4. Gala Darling’s 50 Ways to To Rescue the Worst Day Ever.

Basically required reading.

5. Get more into instrumental music.

Here is an entry in blackciggarette a great livejournal community all about it.

 

Some other little things to consider.

Buy yourself a new soap in your favorite scent, take pictures of everything you can find of a specific color and make a mosaic, update your inspiration board, go to the library and take out a bunch of nonfiction books on subjects that interest you, buy a really tasty tea, coffee, or cocoa.

In 2007, Jupiter was in your eighth house, which rules real estate, intimacy and large sums of money. It was an intense year. You could have earned and lost a lot of money, paid off (or accrued) debt, gotten married, bought property, or moved in with your mate.

Now, Jupiter enters your ninth house of entrepreneurship, higher education, publishing and long-distance travel. Ready for more independence? Here it comes! Focus on:

  • Starting a business
  • Applying to colleges or furthering your education
  • Traveling the world
  • Writing a book
  • Pursuing a career in publishing or sales
  • Working from a virtual office, or in a job that involves travel
  • Exploring metaphysical or inspirational topics

December 6, 2007 · Filed under plans

2089579621_959e298e3a_m.jpg

 

I have no work tomorrow, and no homework due either. Does this mean I should stay in bed all day twittering about how sleepy I am? As much as I would love to say yes to that, I have decided to make this a project to see how productive I can be. Here are my plans. Friday I will update with the results.

1. Cup o’ Coffee – take time to make it good, clean the coffee maker out and put in the right amount of sugar/milk.

2. Write or take notes for a future post- it’s going to be a busy week so I need to get ahead of myself.

3. Research- Horoscopes, SEO, Web 2.0, Living green, And a new fitness plan. (Take notes of anything blogworthy)

4. Take one picture.

5. Work on some homework for next week. Classes are almost over and I need catch up on some things.

6. Make a flickr favorite collage, and post it.

7. Make a delicious supper. Eat it.

 

It will be a good day.

 

If you are bored check out http://oskope.com/ a site that lets you search through flickr, amazon, you tube, and ebay visually.
