Walk o' Shame.

I broke my consistent bloggerness! I'm disappointed in myself.  And what have I even been doing?  Besides going to Ikea and some brief shopping? And having my nose glued in a book?  Not very much frankly, though I will admit there has not been a dull moment yet.  After our success of a film festival, I plan on many more.  The agenda?
Grey Gardens (not the actual documentary but rather the movie on the documentary with Drew Barrymore) and other Kennedy-based films (one with a B/C-list star-studded cast that there was a trailer on before Factory Girl.  Has Shia Labeouf) while peering over some of Jackie O's fashion...and maybe JFK and Marilyn's scandal while we're at it (Marilyn Movies, Some Like it Hot?  Never seen one of hers before and I've been meaning to see what's all the rage on this woman).
Chloe (a movie we saw thanks to the trailers of An Education) and Brothers (I've decided) because of their cheating themes
Fred and Ginger marathon + Cats Don't Dance, I could go on forever with this era.  We'll listen to some music of then and now, Andrews Sisters and Puppini Sisters, and then watch Mad Men.
Some time when we venture into the 60s (era of An Education) we'll listen to Frank and then Mike Bubble, may as well watch his many movies and then Audrey movies topped off by Bewitched, the movie.  Because I adore that movie for no apparent reason.  Somehow, Judy Garland's movies/music will fit into this and we'll watch the Tower of Terror only for the black/white glamour (<--It says that "glamour" isn't a word.  Bullshit, update your spell-check) clips and watch the history channel in anticipation of a Modern Marvels special on The Stock Market Crash.  Not of the 80s obvs, but the other one.  In which decade I have no idea even though I did a report on it.  Methinkeths...20s?  I find it awesome that Golden Hollywood could still go on, wooden Oscars or not.  And because my thoughts are so jumbled, Pleasantville must be added in the 60s one.  Where are all the Grease-like movies?  Poodle-skirts and leather jackets?  Grease doesn't actually count because it was made in the 80s.  I just remembered something really good too, and now I lost it.  Great!
Aha! French film fest.  Chocolat, La Vie en Rose, and all those Chanel films that are coming out.  We'll do the Lifetime Coco Chanel one even though I've already seen it (and thoroughly enjoyed it, and proud to say that I knew much of her life already), Coco Before Chanel if I could get it from the library already, and the one that's coming out this summer, Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky, with frankly quite a frightening trailer.  Watch it.  After reviewing the Coco Before Chanel trailer, it seems so similar to the lifetime movie.  Is this good or bad?  Throw Moulin Rouge into the mix and Ratatouille and boy do I have myself a day/two.  Maybe we can pretend to be a little sophisticated and for me, a little less sophomoric by feasting on some goat cheese and if heaven allows it, champagne.  Though my parents never keep bubbly around the house, I'm not sure why; we like throwing occasions! And frankly champagne is much more festive and lighthearted than your average red wine from Costco.  At a non-sit down party that serves buffet style, it is definitely in call.  I"Ll hafta talk to mama about it.  JK I won't, though my knowledge of etiquette and events hints at me to push it, some day I'll make a legacy for myself.  Then we'll talk.
Kimberly Uong, great thrower of dinner and cocktail parties alike.  Always dressed to please and her place impeccably decorated; very modern but with traditional roots.  Contemporary but retro.  Classy, but chumpy.

P.S. Throw Pearl Harbor in the mix as well since I haven't seen the whole thing and would very much like to do so.  Also some Grace Kelly films for good measure.

Our personal indie film fest

compiled of An Education and Factory Girl.  Both fairly decent movies and I enjoyed them...equally?  I now find Andy Warhol to be a very fascinating character and would like to find out more about him.  He's funny, and really queer seeming.  He was probably bi.  You can't just have a voice like that and not have a remote attraction towards the same sex.  I don't know what lesbians sound like, but I imagine that they are highly terrifying.  But he seems awesome and I want to watch more of his short films.  Intriguing.  My girl Gaga uses part of his clips in her opening for the Monster Ball Tour which I am due for attending...if my parents would let me.  Though it'd actually be quite easy to fake it but it's so far in advanced that it's rough.  But prices are so cheap right now! So I must lunge.  But anyways, An Education, nominated for approximately one thousand Oscars, was pretty good.  I started this post the day I watched it and I wish I finished it then so that things were fresher in my memory.  An Education had wonderful costumes and soundtrack/score, I love...not sure what the style would be called, but I guess retro-jazzy but modern music with lots of brass..basically something rihgt out of Mark Ronson.  and England.  Amy Winehouse one would think?  No, but on the right track.  Duffy! Who had that one hit song a few years back that I quite enjoyed.  I have it in my head but not the title.  I really like that British rockers are taking America by storm, if not a little slowly.  Not completely mainstream, but if you watch MTV (which many do), very popular there. Aha! Mercy. That's it.  Jump for some music from An Education and how to buy what I just told about.  I'm still at a loss on the genre.  If you know, anonymous ghost person, feel free to tell me.  Doo-wop?

Insomnia is taking me over

WHY?  This is frickin exhausting! I went to bed around 1 last night, not shortly after entering my first blog post and therefore bringing this thing alive, though technically it's two years overdue since I've had an account for that long and even a few weeks depending on how you look at lyfe cause that's when I started editing the formatting and such.  (Become my Loyal Minion.  I totally forgot I even put "loyal minion" o'er yonder but when I saw it, it cracked me up.  Do you ever get cracked up by things you've done and then forgot you did and then surprise yourself with your hilariousness? Why yes, yes I do.  Check and check. I'll stop talking to myself..)  Basically anyways, since I can't sleep on a Saturday morning and have clocked less hours than a working adult should (And I'm an unemployed student.  Not even a rip roaring universidad kid, the ones who stay up 'til early in ze morn to study for finals and partay.  Cause I would know and everything.  Are you sick of my Spanglish/English with random mix-ins that is almost a dialect of their own?  I would call it "Cousins", but clearly if you're not my cousin, which you most likely are, then you would not understand.  But assuming the fact that this will only reach cousins, I just won't even clarify.  See my first (of soon to be many) irrelevant jump just for the sake of jumping.
