merry christmas, here's stephen colbert rapping in a suit jacket hoodie.

7th

I think I am figuring out what I really want to do. It has to do with books and movies. So consider my ideal job search expanded to include another low-paying field.

2nd



i returned to la from chicago today. i'm wondering if you can only really love things you have a history with, the same way you can only hate things you have a history with. applied to both people and things.

goddamn if the whole place doesn't make my heart hurt in such a great way, make me think maybe it wouldn't be so bad if i had to go back, because of just being there. tacos in the middle of the night and $4 jameson drinks, a whole mess of good looking dudes, children and dogs that love me and i love back, being able to hang with my family. i mean who knows. maybe moving back would still mean failure and it's a consolation prize, but i guess there are worse ones.

11th



feeling stuck between mediocre and below average is tiring, and i want to get to a point where i can focus on the one thing i'm good at and have it be appreciated and have everyone else take care of the rest, or at least a point where i'm past caring (not really that second one). we all have a place and i refuse to believe i've found mine because i am neither comfortable or satisfied yet and i have so much more to do.

i just want to lose 15 pounds and live in brooklyn and tell people how to make books into movies and have a puggle/yorkie terrier.

and i'd like everyone in my life to be as unwavering as the friend i celebrated a 5th anniversary with yesterday, because if i have to be the way i am at least i get to have someone else to understand it.

i don't think that's too much to ask.

"imma let you finish but..." this is adorable as fuck.

22nd

"isn't it weird how at one point you were like, 'wow, i'm going to have fun with this person for the rest of my life!' and then there turns out to be something completely wrong with them? like they do a bunch of shitty things because they're kind of insane and they ruin everything that could have been by being awful? i think it's so weird."


also, i want this dog more than i know how to explain:

so that's the video for "forever" with drake, lil wayne, kanye, and eminem. it is a mess. first of all, it's for lebron james' documentary more than a game so i guess the photos and home movie stuff is cute. however, it's cut with this crazy slick pop video type footage of all four rappers, who never appear on the screen at the same time, superimposed over themselves and dancing in front of giant sparklers. i mean does hype williams just sneeze on a piece of paper when he hands in treatments? (probably.) it opens with lebron playing online poker. is that some sort of metaphor? kanye is doing some kind of violent interpretive dance, he's clearly doing a breaststroke right before the 3-minute mark, and drake has clearly taken some tips from him. oh, sweet mushroom clouds, are those real or vfx? because either way they look fucking stupid. and eminem inexplicably has approximately 200 black men standing behind him. why does lil wayne call himself a martian? any clues?

that said, i kind of like the song. classic lines like "swimmin in the money, come and find me- nemo." eminem is against all odds a really good rapper. go figure. oh, and i would drake.

i want these $500 pedro garcia shoes. is that bad?

6th

it's hard to talk about someone in your blog when you know that person reads it regularly. unless you're 14 years old and that's the intention. so all i will say is this:



like one purple sweater away, basically.

3rd

i have said several times that i want to be "leslie mann's character in every movie," that is, messy, overly emotional, being taken care of (knocked up, 17 again).


i have realized that i am zooey deschanel's character in many movies (gigantic, 500 days of summer), that is, scared, mean, fucking up perfect things.


but i don't know. maybe summer grows up to be scarlett. maybe happy grows up to be debbie.

i can not to save my life tell you why i felt i should share this with this thing i never use, but "samson" by regina spektor is a pretty heartbreaking song, so there is also that.

go fuck your bong.
