So We Were On These Camels
YOU GUYS. I’M IN SLOVENIA.
I have dreamed of visiting here my entire [adult] life and finally made it this evening. It was late when I arrived so I unfortunately was not able to take any amazing photos like the one you see above, but even in the dark the scenery is quite breathtaking. I don’t know how a place this beautiful can exist.
That Sounds Like A Great Email
I will soon be boarding a plane en route to a foreign country where I will stay in a small countryside town where the native language is one which I literally do not know one single word. I was telling a coworker this last week and she said I was quite brave. I actually think I’m just fucking crazy.

Settle Down Brain
Soo… I may be late in the game on this one, but if you haven’t heard of trntbl.me you need to check it out. Type in your or any tumblr username and get a streaming playlist of any track ever posted by that user.
Type in COLORMAKE and get a pretty rad one. JUST SAYING.

This Is Really Important
I was actually pretty bummed to learn that Berenstein Bears co-creator Jan Berenstein passed away today. When I was very young I was hospitalized for a severe sinus condition and remember getting through each day by reading Peanuts children’s books and watching Berenstein Bears cartoons on VHS. Childhood.

I'm Gonna Go To Burrito Town
With each passing day I am slowly seeing myself transform into a different person, mentally, emotionally, and physically. And I am quite fond of her, actually.
We Were Witnessing Taken
The more life experience I get the more I feel my future has to do less and less with what I’m working toward a degree in. I love film. I think I have an eye for it. I could spend hours editing a 2-minute spot or watch the same movie a dozen times and come up with a different reading of it each time. But the more work I do within the world of subject matter that first turned me onto the...

They Make Everything Cute
About three days ago I started to feel like I was in real top physical condition for the first time in weeks. DO NOT WORRY though because my immune system sprung into immediate action to knock me right off that high horse of good health and give me a good swift kick in the sinuses. Now I get to go back to the drugstore tomorrow where I would not be in the least bit surprised if I were to learn...
I Sound Like I Was Raised By Wolves
One of the many subjects that was beaten into my brain repeatedly throughout the numerous UK pre-departure proceedings we had to endure, was to stay vigilant of cultural differences. Some of them were very easy to spot. I know what the loo is. I’m no stranger to sarcasm. Does anyone actually not know who Morrissey is?
Others were more unexpected. What do you mean I don’t have to put a...

This Looks Like My Flat
So… allowing myself to live in the UK for four months was the worst life decision I could have possibly made.
Because I have fallen in love with this continent and never want to leave.
I Thought I Was About To Be Killed In Hyde Park
So, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. This week I read all about tons of fun things for couples to do in London - chocolate making classes, dance lessons, private London Eye tours. I however, will be taking part in none of these activities. Tomorrow will more than likely be spent indoors writing an essay and tidying up my flat. Maybe I’ll even go nuts and make truffles.
How Dare You Not Ask Me How I Am Out Of Nowhere?
Trying to spend today being productive by catching up to speed on a few emails, essays, blog posts, etc. So far I’m about two emails deep and it’s 2:30 in the afternoon. Well, slow and steady…
Last night I wasn’t quite up to join the others for an all-night bar hop so instead I headed down to The Poetry Cafe near Covent Garden. The ground floor is a very unassuming room...

The Fuck Is He Good At?
My Super Bowl experience this year was the one of the best I’ve ever had and oddly enough it took place 3000 miles from home. Julie, a friend interning over at Variety Magazine was invited to an event hosted by MOFILM to which she took a handful of the Temple crew. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but it turned out to be a small ceremony and screening for filmmakers all around the...

Is There A Fire I Can Put My Feet In?
Is it strange that sometimes my favorite part of a trip is the drive back home? Today we spent a lovely, but excruciatingly cold day in Oxford and on the way back I settled into my coach seat and listened to music while the rest of the Temple crew did the same and shut their collective eyes for an hour or so of sleep. This caused me to feel a great sense of calm, as that sort of thing usually...

You Look Homeless
It feels like ages since I’ve posted a plain text entry. Every day has been such a whirlwind and my mind is flooded with things to say but I just can’t seem to organize my thoughts into blog posts lately. I’ll give it a try anyway.
Last weekend I visited Barcelona with some friends from the study abroad program. It was a fantastic few days. I had been there for the first time...
Mixing Children and Cocaine
I’m not one to rewatch movies I’ve already seen multiple times by choice, but one definite exception to this behavior is the film Chocolat.
I like to believe that I was an exact recreation of Juliette Binoche’s character in a past life - constantly moving from town to town with just a handful of material possessions bringing the healing power of chocolate and emotional support...
