Journey to Enlightment … sorta.
Saturday, April 7th, 2007Wow, this Firefox tool is REALLY nifty!
I can post anytime while I’m browsing webpages–and that’s quite often. So YAY!
I’ve been on this intellectual-renewal-type-wannabe binge–no thanks, of course, to my Global Cinema class! The students in there only make me feel THAT much smarter and/or surprised that the intelligence of an average person in America is a lot lower than I thought (but Jay Leno’s “Jaywalk” skits should really have been a tall-tell sign that such was the case). But they have no factor in my current expedition for self-betterment; nope, it’s actually the fact that I’m exposing myself to movies from around the globe that’s got me going!
All back story rambling aside, I currently finished reading Me Talk Pretty One Day by Dave Sedaris. Why the HELL haven’t I read this a lot earlier? Gosh, I’m like, SO five years behind. But in all seriousness, he’s a hilarious and witty writer–although I think I still like the other Dave better (but who am I to compare them? Maybe because the English teacher who made us read Eggers recommended Sedaris to me, discovering how fucking astonished I was by this masterpiece that is his autobiography). His writing’s a lot more stylistic and has a lot of personality–not that Sedaris is missing that, I’m just really biased
I also saw Avenue Montaigne over at Shattuck Cinemas a week or so ago. Cute French movie! Watch for a good time and/or light-hearted laughs. The main character Jessica, played by Cecile De France, is so adorable in this movie. PLUS Sydney Pollack is in it, playing as another director (although I think he should have played himself, that would’ve been awesome!).
Right now I’m reading Catch-22 by Joseph Heller–yes, another book I should’ve read 5 years ago but haven’t gotten around to until now. I’m such a dork

I am a 25-year-old web and graphic designer located in sunny-but-oh-so-smoggy Los Angeles, California. I love games of all sorts (video, board, RP, etc), eating, designing, reading, writing, drawing, and eating! I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2007 with a B.A. in English. Now I'm attending Cal State LA, working on a post-bac degree for graphic design. Nice to meet you!
