This movie was absolutely adorable, and also very crafty. Lots of the scenes included things made out of paper, plastic, cloth, etc. Despite its overwhelming cuteness, I really enjoyed it. My favourite parts were definitely the scenes involving the imaginary TV show, and also the scene featuring the stuffed telephone and typewriter.




We watched An Inconvenient Truth at school yesterday, and while it is perhaps the complete opposite of The Science Of Sleep, I still loved it. I thought the way the information was presented was very effective and mater-of-fact. Also, like Rafaela, I was (pleasantly) surprised at how seriously my classmates took it.




I meant to stay up and watch This American Life last night, but I changed my mind because I thought (for some reason) that it was an hour and a half long. Instead, I watched it today after school, with my mom. My vote is: splendid. I could never prefer it to the radio show, but I enjoyed it. I thought it translated well to television, and unlike Boaz Frankel and his worst interview ever, I didn't find it weird seeing Ira Glass actually present on film. "An Animal They Loved" = sad. I wish the show was longer than half an hour, though.

A sad story

While cleaning my room this weekend, I discovered this hip, cool Keith Haring colouring book, which I recieved for my sixth birthday.

Strangely, this is the only page that I filled out:

This is funny considering that when I was little, I LOVED stickers. But I also find it funny that I recieved a colouring book with lots of pages to fill out, like "Things I found in New York City" and "Things I would like to put in a blue purse," and the only page I used was the sticker page.

Click directly on the play symbol, and it won't open a new window.

Happy birthday to Marlowe

We celebrated Marlowe's birthday in New York, at Plump Dumpling. We sang "Older" and "O Death," as well as "Happy Birthday" in French.

Rabbit, rabbit

Did I remember? No, I did not. I never do, because I am now woken up every morning at 6:30. This is not my natural schedule.
Here are a few things on my mind:


They're cute and vegan. These shoes cost $118. Let's get 'em!


I am in the progress of working on a long-term project for school, which is becoming increasingly stressful. Most people are doing a short skit, but I have chosen to think about the assignment extremely abstractly and am instead creating a multi-media presentation on Andy Warhol's Factory.


I'm about halfway through this book and I am really enjoying it. It's the really funny blend of hilarious stories and dense history.


I have been listening to the Decemberists a lot lately, too. I love them. I think it's really wonderful how most of the songs are stories, and it keeps them really interesting. I also love the language they use. There is something very intellectual about the Decemberists, I think.


I love Marcel Dzama, too. This is one of my favourite pieces.
