I've been spending a lot of time on Spike Jonze's blog, We Love You So, of late. I haven't seen Where the Wild Things Are yet, but I'm hoping to soon. I also want to get the soundtrack, that I have heard goes along with the movie so well.
I took my PSAT today, gross. I am not up for the SAT at all. I don't even know what I want to do with my life. All I know, is that I want to watch a movie and get a soundtrack as well as another CD. Jason Schwartzman has a band called Coconut Records that my friends and I love. My best friends Tam, Hailey, and Hannah are going to start a cover band called Jason Schwartzman's Wives, although Hannah hates the name. I'm lead singer, so I better start learning the lyrics and music. I need to learn how to play a real instrument, not just an egg shaker and tambourine.

Four Day Weekend

This is unfortunately my last four day weekend for a while, but I've had fun so far. On Friday, I spent what felt like the whole day on the computer. Yesterday, I spent the a majority of the day cleaning and preparing my house for my first sleepover held at my home! It was so fun, because it was Bollywood themed. We watched Dhoom 2 and The Namesake. My friend wanted to watch to watch the first movie, so I rented it and it was 2 hours and 40 minutes!! Then I put in The Namesake which is one of my favorite movies and books. It is a novel about Indian immigrants that move to America and how their children grow up with conflicting cultures. I love the way the author writes, I cannot wait until she comes out with another book.
Anyway, I still have work to do today. I should get started so that I can enjoy my day off tomorrow, but I'm just too lazy. Only one month into school....
Still from The Namesake: Ashima, Ashoke, and newly born Gogol.


I miss my brother.

I'm sick.


Right now, I am simultaneously writing this entry and working on putting my Christmas list together (my grandmother likes them early.) I started getting sick two days ago, and yesterday was the height of it all. My eyes were red and puffy, and my head felt like it was going to explode. I feel much better today than I did yesterday. The latest book that I am reading is The Boy Detective Fails by Joe Meno. It's a book that my brother really enjoys and he left it here, so I decided to read it. it's really sad so far, but I can relate to the character. Another thing that into these days is Damien Rice. His music is so somber and beautiful at the same time, maybe I'll perform one of his songs for the Talent Show.
I really just want to lay around all day and watch movies and sleep, but alas I cannot. I'll just focus on my Xmas List--I cannot wait until Christmas--and think about my favorite things. I should probably also figure out what exactly I'm doing for Halloween.

I would especially love it if tonight I could go to the Laemmle Theatre and watch a movie.
