The Shining

another great stanley kubrick film to add to my list. i dont think any other movie has given me the chills like the shining did. the music score is what helps add to the suspense of the movie. and jack nicholson really does a good job at playing such a demented character. ill probably never have the courage to watch it again, but i really did like it. Great Film!

Daniel Johnston

on saturday night i had the great joy of seeing Daniel Johnston at The Music Box in LA. I loved seeing him preform live and it was a fun night. especially when he played a cover of "you got to hide your love away" and the whole audience sang along when it was time for the lyrics "Hey! you gotta hide you love away" to be sung. he closed with "True Love Will Find You in the End" and it was a great end to his performance. it is a night ill never forget<333

train stations

i really miss taking the train to school. i used to love just sitting up against the window and looking out to all the different scenery it would pass by. walking up&down harbor looking in the shops while waitng for the train to arrive. i really love downtown fullerton. the old fox movie theater. the cute little shops. drinking chai tea at starbucks. going into the record store and seeing the owner's collection. i used to people watch a lot at the train station. little kids running around, business men & women with their suits & briefcases. hearing the heels of women's shoes clack against the pavement. it's probably one of the few places where i feel myself. no worries cross my mind. it's just me, my ipod, and the many other people who are waiting to go to their destination.

best ending.

Pulp Fiction is probably when of the greatest movies of all time. it is definitely one of Quentin Tarantino's masterpieces. and in my opinion no other movie has a better ending then pulp fiction. especially the great speech Samuel l. Jackson's character gives. No other actor could have done a better job then he did. must watch....

the perks of being a wallflower

this week i read one of my favorite books, the perks of being a wallflower, and im very glad i did. i first read it when i was a sophomore in high school and i am now a sophomore in college. so it has been exactly four years since i have first read it. i think ive grown up a lot since i first read it and experienced many of the same things charlie experienced so i could relate a lot better to the things he described. i love how an author can somehow make you feel that somebody out there understands. that he understands about the hard things of growing up and creates a great story for many other kids/people who are also having a hard time to have something to relate to. i love this book!

Cat Power

i really love listening to cat power. Their songs are so soothing and get deep inside my emotions. Listening to Chan Marshall's voice relaxes me and gives me chills. i fall asleep to their music every night. "Myra Lee" is my favorite album of theirs and the songs "ice water", "great expectations" and "rockets" i could listen to over and over again. i can't imagine how great it would be to see them live!

i always wonder

everytime i watch the movie Selena i always wonder how successful she could've been today or what she would've been like. i remember being 5 years old and singing along to her songs and not knowing what death was yet or that she had even passed away. she had lots of talent, and i still look up to her as one of my heroes<3

Caribou...

is my favorite Pixies song. it seems every playlist i make on my ipod i put this song on there. in my opinion Caribou is their best song. I could listen to it all day.

"this human from, where i was born, i now repent" great lyrics ^_^

adorable.

its so crazy to think how close i was to owning a puppy. i still want one badly but i have a feeling thats not going to happen for a while. due to money issues and the fact that my mom keeps changing her mind on the matter :/

one of these could've been mine

zombieland

last night i saw zombieland with a few friends. it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. the movie was very funny and entertaining. i must admit i was not expecting as much graphic images as it ended up having, like the zombies and all their goo dripping from their faces and bodies. the part that really made me cringe was in the beginning when Jesse Eisenberg's character is being chased by a girl zombie and while trying to stop her you see her ankle bone pop out, that made me squirm. what i really liked was how Bill Murray played a little cameo part. i thought that was pretty cool of him. Woody Harrelson definitely was the star of the movie, he plays such a funny character, and it totally fits him. i think zombieland is good movie to see if you want to see a movie that has action, humor and to give you a good scare.
