wouldn't you love to be in a movie?

I'm watching Factory Girl, but I'm not really paying attention. Doing other things online does seem to catch my attention more than this thing on the TV, but I'm listening. Sight isn't everything that tells a story. People listen to books on tapes/CDs whatever after all.

I missed tonight's Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty. And Eleventh Hour. So that means I have a lot of TV to watch tomorrow, which does excite me.

There was something I was going to write about in this blog, specifically, but now I can't think of it. I got carried away with Factory Girl and crap.

Tomorrow, I should be having sushi with my cousin from NY, and I'm very, very excited. I haven't seen him in a few years.

I want to go to France and make avante-guard movies. I wish I had someone cool like Edie Sedgwick or whatever her name is to be in them. Or someone as good that's probably not a hoe bag like Scarlett Johansson. She used to be cool, but now she makes me angry.

Perhaps the life and times of Edie Sedgwick(whatever) would be interesting to read about. Not see in some fictionalized retrospective bull.

While researching the French Revolution last night, I decided I want to come up with a semi-short story about a family during the 'Reign of Terror.' Led by Robespierre, people were guillotined for practically giving an official a bad look. By the end of a period that was a little over a year and a half, nearly 40,ooo people were dead in Paris alone. I think in one day, over 16,000 people suffered an execution. Anyway, the story would be about a family that's trying so hard to get out of France and into another country, where one of them will probably be from. I can't decide if they will be peasants or some kind of clergy or nobility. The stories would be completely different, depending on their social status, that's fo sho.

I think stories about drug addicted poor little rich kids are too cliche for this era of literature. Or maybe that's just how I feel about the way this movie is filmed. I'm sure that's how it seemed at that time, but I guess as Holden Caulfield would put it, it just seems a little "phony."

All of the tests I had to take this week are over. I have one more test on Monday, on ancient Greek civilization. Ancient civilizations are so much easier to comprehend, rather than the French Revolution, per say.

Buster slept in his pumpkin/jack-o-lantern t-shirt my mother got for him while we were in Nashville last night. It was quite lovely. Then, when I was showing him off to my friends over at T's house, he accidentally peed on it and now it must be washed. Right now he is sleeping very soundlessly next to me.

Damn that Bob Dylan for hurting Edie Sedgwick.

Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson are in a relationship. Apparently they have been since they starred in Jumper together a few years ago. I think I remember reading something about Rachel Bilson saying that she wanted to go elope with him. It makes me a little sad for Adam Brody, since they were like together for a long time. But I'm sure he's over her by now. I mean, he hasn't met me yet anyway. Har har. I'm funny.

Start wearing purple, wearing purple. Start wearing purple for me now..... all your sanity and wits they will all vanish - I promise! - It's just a - a matter of time.

I bought a purple shirt from Wet Seal a few weeks ago. I wore it for the first time yesterday? and it made me feel happy. I also got this winter-y purple shirt with a design on it which will probably make me happy too. I'm ready for it to get a little colder so I can start wearing my neat jackets. Which reminds me that I need to purchase a belt sometime soon. Maybe I'll go to the thrift store tomorrow and try and find a neat belt.

I wish I could have a romance with someone like Bob Dylan. A whirlwind romance, but it would never last. It's like a fortune cookie Duncan gives to Veronica in season 2 of the series that says: True love stories never have endings...

Very poetic.
