An Old, New Favorite
This past weekend we watched Lost in Translation. I don’t think I had seen it since it came out in 2003. I didn’t love it the first time, although I was only 16 years old. Did I have good taste in anything when I was 16? LOVED it this time around…8 years later. I’m not always a big fan of Scarlett Johansson but I do adore here in this one.
Summer Wish List
Ladies and Gents, my summer wish list for 2010. I must preface this list with a few facts about myself.
1. I’m not a “shoes girl.” I’ve never really wanted a pair of shoes. Hence, no shoes on this list.
2. I never buy clothes online but I had to include the featured dress because I tried one on in a store exactly like it. And it fit!
3. I would upgrade my iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4 over anything. I’m still scheming on how to do it.
[In no particular order but hopefully you can catch on : the iPhone 4 - in white of course, Rescue Beauty's Stormy nail polish, amaaazing drink dispenser, Chuck Norris Cannot Be Stopped by Ian Spector, Fuji Instax Mini 25 Instant Camera, Green Scout Dress]
Ahoy, and other nautical expressions!
MAD HATTER: Would you like a little more tea?
ALICE: Well, I haven’t had any yet, so I can’t very well take more.
MARCH HARE: Ah, you mean you can’t very well take less.
MAD HATTER: Yes. You can always take more than nothing.
I know this is the second childhood-cartoon-loving-take-me-back type of post but Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is in theaters today. I’m excited to see it but honestly Disney’s 1951 animated version will always be my favorite. That animated film was the first piece of art I encountered that contained abstract ideas, poetic dialogue, and everything wonderful. For that, I am thankful.
WALRUS: The time has come, my little friends, to talk of other things / Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings / And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wigs / Calloo, Callay, come run away / With the cabbages and kings.
