I really like the movie "But I'm a Cheerleader." And also "The Royal Tenenbaums." Plus kooky/dumb movies like "Office Space" and "Zoolander" and "Eurotrip." At the moment I'm obsessed with "But I'm a Cheerleader" which features a hilarious performance by an out-of-drag RuPaul. Plus it has a bunch of other hilarious moments too, so all in all it's a fantastic movie (according to me).
The "But I'm a Cheerleader" soundtrack is superb as well. Listen to Tattle Tale's "Glass Vase Cello Case"... if that doesn't make your heart melt, I don't know what will...
Other songs I can't get enough of at the moment:
Neutral Milk Hotel "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"
The Arcade Fire "Crown of Love"
Rachael Yamagata "Worn Me Down"
Tegan and Sara "So Jealous"
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists "Biomusicology"
Ben Folds and Rufus Wainwright "Careless Whisper"
... and everyone else's current favorite song, Daniel Powter "Bad Day"
I've been living on my own for about a week now (sort of... minus the 4 days Vicki slept over) and it's been fun!! I have to do my own cooking, cleaning, garbage disposing, and etc. The cooking has been alright... for the most part, most of my meals consisted of easy to make things like PB+J, mac and cheese, instant noodles, leftover Chinese fast food from Oriental Express... and those meals were wholesomely supplemented with snacks like pretzels, yogurt, crackers with dip, ice cream, poptarts, and etc. I did make french toast once, and I also cooked up a "real" entree for dinner a few nights ago featuring rice-a-roni topped with fried catfish and cooked broccoli (it was a collaborative effort). Unfortunately, I am still burnt out from that cooking experience and am still too lazy to cook up another real meal anytime soon. In the meantime, I will be living off my stash of frozen entrees, lean pockets, and instant noodles. And that is reason #223984 why I can't wait to go home! I may be 19, but I still like to be babied by the mother unit.
So this week I started doing research in a biophysics lab on campus. It's been interesting so far.... I wonder how this experience will play out!
