Maguindanao massacre death toll climbs to 57

Aaaah, how do we explain such incredible acts of cruelty and violence?

How can any human being do this?

Allons-y!

I keep hearing Doctor Who TARDIS noises in the library.

Dear Doctor,

If you’re there, yes, I would love to travel through time and space with you. I promise I will do as you say and run when I have to. Please help me escape this chemical risk assessment paper.

PS: I would prefer to travel back in time on Earth. Somewhere historical.

So malicious.

When you’re sitting comfortably next to a table and you happen to gracefully reach out and bring a hot cup of tea/coffee to your lips and slowly blow away the smoke, do you ever feel like a villain? As in wicked step mother status? Because I do. And I enjoy it.

Spriiiiiiiiiiiiing, be mine.

I saw Spring Awakening for the third time this afternoon, first time with on stage seats. It was a whole new level of awesome. Truly. Amazing.

Lots of new cast members. Jake Epstein as Melchior gave a beautiful, beautiful “Left Behind,” so there is no question that I now love him. Taylor Trensch as Moritz was gaaaaah so great. Herr Stiefel slapped him three times and tears were falling down his face and my heart ached for him. Ben #2 as Ernst has such a lovely voice, so great with Andy. New swings are all so beautiful. Haha.

I’m definitely going to try to get student rush tickets for Thanksgiving weekend. Holy shit.

One breakfast from one day this week: turkey+tomato+feta omelette, banana, spicy chai latte, with some Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close on the side (So so so good. So good. I woke up one morning and couldn’t put it down, so I finished it.) (I’ve been eating breakfast, I just haven’t been taking pictures/not making them pretty enough for pictures. Just an update on the breakfast front. Oh, and an update on the no buying of clothes for a whole year front: I FAILED.)

I finally did it. Last night I locked myself out the apartment. Now I will no longer be complacent about taking my keys with me all the time and assuming that, with six people living in one apartment, there’s bound to be at least one person home at any given moment, because the truth is, if there is one person at home, it’s probably me, and so if I’m out, everyone’s out. I went to Mary+Miki+Victor’s apartment. We watched clips of the protest. Then we registered for Dance Marathon and got free Mexican food.

One Hour Photo: A Love Affair

I like to have films developed and printed at Costco for three reasons. The reasons are these:

  1. Costco is excellent at photo printing. Really excellent.
  2. It’s super cheap.
  3. Sometimes, the man behind the photo counter looks like he could be Diego Luna’s brother, and when you come back after an hour to pick up your pictures, he tells you, “Some of the pictures are double exposed,” so you say to him, “Oh yeah, we meant to do that,” and he chuckles timidly like he’s trying to hide the sunshine behind his teeth as he says, “Okay. Cool.”

That’s right, I’m in love with the photo guy, just like I was in love with the lens crafters guy three years ago. Honestly, I think that if you help me out with anything that I enjoy, such as (1) being able to see and (2) looking at pictures, I will probably fall in love with you too. Also, if you look like you could be Diego Luna’s brother, or if you look like you could be just straight up Diego Luna, I will definitely fall in love with you.

Oh, heart, thy name is fickle.

Skylight

I’m at home for the weekend.

I took the train from LA to Tustin this afternoon. The sun now sets around 5 pm, so by the time my train pushed off Union Station, it was almost dark.

The sky looked amazing. Like gray canvas with lines of pink highlighter splattered on. Try to imagine that. Gray canvas and bright pink highlighter.

I’d never seen anything like it.
