Things I Should Not Do In The Future:

1. Be excited to come home from college, because everything sucks.

asdljahsdhasdkhaslkdjhwords. Whatever.  Sorry I’ve been ~reblogging like crazy lately.  I’ve been trying to have a social life, so everything’s just on queue.  Whatever.  I’ll probably spend a little more time on here now, yeah?

Goals for this semester:

1/ get my work done on time, with plenty of time and quality, thus: do well in classes
2/ make a serious effort to watch all of the Stanley Kubrick, classic Martin Scorsese, and Coen Brothers movies I haven’t seen.
3/ make a serious effort to watch Band of Brothers, Moon, and The French Connection
4/ get better at making gifs
5/ start taking lots of photos again
6/ Read The Twelfth Night (again), The Baron in the Trees, at least one of the books I got for Christmas, and finish reading A History of the British Isles.
7/ Start writing for my blog again
8/ Exercise more
9/ Go to more concerts
10/ Find a job or internship for this summer

Things I am going to do with the rest of my day: 

1. Go get some Lunch downstairs with Emily and that girl whose name I don’t remember.

2. Go buy my Crit Inq book and some paper and nice pens and some milk and cranberry juice and junk food.

3. Go see if I have any packages, which I probably do, and carry them up and see if they have my magazine overflow from winter break.

4. Look at youtube videos

5. Do my Crit Inq homework

6. Paint

7. Read

some things: 

1.  God, art stores stress me out. UGH.  So much I want, so much expense, so lasdkfjlksdfjakljfd.

2. Why do I have class in an hour and a half? THAT IS RIDICULOUS IT SHOULD STILL BE HOLIDAY BREAK.

3. Somebody buy me oreos, please.

some things: 

1. Jesse Eisenberg. Greatest. Ever.  Everything that I see pertaining to him gets better and better and awesome.

2.  I really wish that on the commentary of Anastasia hadn’t made it wildly obvious that they didn’t purposefully make the movie full of ahistorical lols.  I mean they recognized that it wasn’t horribly accurate, but that were like “Yeah we totally fucked with the history of soviet russia, and equated the communist revolution with little green creatures, and made the Romanovs seem like totally chill dudes that weren’t oppressive, and it was just for the LOLs.”  I sort of love that aspect of the movie so much, and the fact that they weren’t purposely being ridiculous, and maybe weren’t that concerned about it?  It irks me a little, not gonna lie.

3.  I’m so hungryyyyy.

Reason #11 I miss/would rather be in England right now.

I really shouldn’t have put myself of the NPG’s mailing list.

some things: 

1. Oldfilmsflicker reblogs a post, I get 27 notes in .5 (or something) seconds. Awesome.

2.  I don’t follow people who spread gay-hate, so I don’t want to be like “please just ignore it and continue posting pretty pictures,” but really tho?  arguments are unnecessary/ineffective.

3.  Can I just stay at home forever and not go back to college?  I like college and everything (some times), but I like no responsibilities more!
