i'm listening to devendra banhart. he's a genius of course, but i felt like i needed him more in my iTunes library. i can't believe how much mates of state i listened to last week ! i checked my lastfm and it was like, all mates of state-y ! the past two days i've been obsessively nonstop watching eternal sunshine precisely at 7PM. it made me think about writing in a journal, like joel, just cos you have the ability to be completely private and forget what you want forgotten. i'm not sure where this blog will go, but i'm not sure if having a written journal is any better, besides the fact i can doodle.
today was my first day working with my ap conference group in a few months. they showed me the powerpoint they made, and to be honest, i was unhappy with it. when i stayed after school today all i did was tediously work on that slideshow. it bothered me. i don't want it to make the wrong impression, but at the same time, i felt like an ass. i drove one partner out by just attacking her for plagiarism, but now i'm pretty much attacking this group for making an ugly powerpoint. i don't know if it's just that i suck at working in groups or just suck with people in general. whether i'm right or wrong, i'm going to run it by my partners first. i need to work on being considerate. but it does sound like i'm trying... right?
<-- brown steering necklace, $7. available in my etsy shop ! i need to fucking get off the computer, man. i feel like such a loser spending hours at a time on some machine. especially now that i just watched blade runner, it feels strange, even though the characters in blade runner were clones rather than machines, they're in some ways robotic. in all films like that the robots or clones end up rebelling against the humans because they develop thoughts or emotions, but we humans never learn do we? if we were to really make clones or robots it would happen eventually, but people are researching anyway. they don't care about the stories and novels, films of their fathers. they just do what they want and put the lives of others in jeopardy. i don't know why. i guess because they have a sort of sense of self, or that reoccurring thought that eventually, all they have is themselves. i despise that thought, just cos it has been ringing in my brain for years. i need to go do something with my fucking time, man ! i need to write an essay, do my homework or something ! it's so hard to keep a straight demeanor when you feel like such a complete loser at times. i think i should limit myself to an hour online a day. a few minutes for etsy, etc. i suppose i could live that way, or i should live that way. i guess just cos so much of life is the computer now and machines, it's hard to escape it. i guess it's sort of a safe haven for me cos all my music is here. i need to go write my essay.
both of my parents are gone today. my uncle is over. he's fun i suppose. i really want to get out of this fucking house. i'm in this odd 'i want to curse' mood right now. i feel like going in my room and writing that essay, then watching television until i die. pride & prejudice is going to be on later on the oxygen channel, i'll watch that i guess, or finish watching winter passing. i find films by focus features to be more worthwhile than most of the ordinary. i've been trying to watch them all, along with the criterion collection, best picture academy award nominees and the new AFI list. a lot of movies i guess, i don't know. i'm leaving now. i have to write my essay.

i took this picture of the whale necklace yesterday.. it really makes me want it ! haha. currently i'm selling them on silver chains, but i'm not sure how i feel about them. i'm beginning to prefer the gunmetal chains i use on my shell necklaces.. eh, we'll see i guess, hm?
today i was asked repeatedly to clean my room, and i ignored the request every time and still haven't cleaned my room to this moment. i love ignoring what my parents say. then they forget and i end up doing what they want voluntarily. i like it like that.
so yesterday i made a fairly big book purchase. i bought a roald dahl boxed set of seven books. i haven't read any of his books, i thought it'd be a good time to start. i also bought a book on digital photography.
wes anderson is working on a new film titled 'the fantastic mr. fox.' cate blanchett and george clooney are already on the cast list. jason schwartzman is labeled 'in talks. it is based upon a roald dahl story, hence, my buying his boxed set. there are still so many of his stories that haven't been put to film, and he is very imaginative. i've always wanted to make a 'phantom tollbooth' type film. one with imagination and an unforgettable journey with a unique cast of characters. the essence of michel gondry with a sort of wes anderson or tim burton type twist but, with the perfection and flawlessness of a kubrick film, if you will. that is my goal with everything and anything i make. i want my films to resemble the greatness of the greatest, but have my own personal twist.
today i was watching the extra concert footage on sigur ros' dvd, 'heima.' amazing stuff. makes me want to move to iceland. the calmness and serenity. tints of blue and asphalt gray. hmm. seems so satisfying. those wide open spaces. thats what i like. that's where i want to be. oh, iceland.
i've also taken a new interest in both mimes and the loch ness monster. typical of a teenager to come across such strange and subtle interests i guess. i'm reading a book, a fable, by marcel marceau right now. i hate when i come across new books while i am reading others. i'm still reading life of pi by yann martel, but i couldn't resist this fable when i came across it in the library. i love fables so dearly. as for the loch ness monster interest, i think i will be putting it to my creative test and make a loch ness squee. nessie squee ! ahh, sounds rather smashing ! haha, i sounded so british there. i'm also thinking of making my own line of owls, octopuses and porcupines. i think i'll just scramble the lettering. like wols, poctopi, rocupins? hmm, how i love to create. maybe i should stick to squees for now. i'll save those new wildlife twists for my new summer line. right now i should be focusing on the life aquatic.
