Hello readers, how long have you been blogging? Me? I was using Xanga back in the day, technically still have a Livejournal, and have been using this site on-and-off since 2014, I believe. Shown by that unstable status, I was posting about things I like and would still like here, just not in the most …
Hello readers, need some new tunes? Some things just sort of happen whether they be the assemblage of couple-that-probably-shouldn't-assemble-but-are-trying-anyway Jimmy and Gretchen or me watching the show about their unconventional relationship, You're the Worst. I wouldn't say this is a programs you have to see and since I just wrote a whole post about unfortunate ethnic jokes, …
Heya pals, give up your resolutions yet? 😅 Perhaps I should start a series on the things I find at 4am. I wrote about The Visit, and today I want to share a short documentary called Scandalize My Name. Although the US allied with the Soviet Union in WWII, soon afterwards, we decided that communists can't sit …
On Thursday, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, passed away. The reported cause is suicide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qF_qbaWt3Q Linkin Park meant a lot to me. They were my first favorite band (as opposed to liking the pop groups everyone else liked). I was in MSN groups asking why they didn't sing LP songs on American Idol (give me a …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKGUJXzxNqc Here's a little bit of a Music Monday for you since I misscheduled my last post. I went to YouTube an artist I heard on TV, but eventually found Ana Tijoux and her song with Shadia Mansour called "Somos Sur." There are so many reasons why I love this song. First of all, it's …
As someone who used to actively seek out music from every genre and location around the globe (but snobbishly, not American pop music), it's a little depressing that I just listen to whatever's on FM in the rare car ride nowadays. But if I happen to be awake at 4 in the morning and there's …
I named my last post after a line in Nâzım Hikmet’s “On Living,” and the quotation at the end is from the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. I originally wanted the title to be after something more in the vein of Darwish but thought Himet was more appropriate. I wasn’t familiar with them before posting, but …
I just watched The Book of Life, and it's probably the best film I've seen in awhile. The animation is so interesting and unique which is how I'd also describe the story. I may have expected a silly kids movie, but I laughed at Gabriel Iglesias's mariachi character, gasped along with the children being told the story, and wept for …
Should I bring back Tuesday Tuneage? With so much stuff out there, I'm highly valuing quiet time and hardly listen to anything anymore. But I just happen to be in a mashups mood, so I thought I'd share some great ones I've found lately. Corporation- "Hello 679" (Adele's "Hello" vs. Fetty Wap's "679") Hearthis.at Adele's …
Attenberg is an interesting film that I'm definitely going to have to revisit in the future. There are many facets worth exploring managed with only a handful of characters. While misfit girl/sexually experienced girl might as well be a trope (perhaps it falls under Only Friend?), it's great to see variations of weird girls e.g., they're not all Enid …
