She refused to be bored, chiefly because she wasn't boring.

Mia Farrow as Daisy Buchanan

I am currently doing a project on the Fitzgeralds and The Great Gatsby.
Zelda is an inspiration, which is a funny thing to say actually.

Sutro Baths

I would have loved to been alive when the Sutro Baths was in its high time. It was so grand and glorious and it was all in San Francisco, making it even better. This place had it all, 7 swimming pools, a museum, restaurants, and an ice skating rink. Unfortunately, it burnt down in 1966 after having financial troubles. All that remains today are the ruins, consisting of some structural pieces and stairs. I still think it's worth a visit.

Being an adult.

I am learning to deal with the consequences of my actions as best I can.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Corinne Bailey Rae

This album is so beautiful and dark. The album title, The Sea, fits appropriately. The title track "Are You Here" fills me with energy and makes me want to go running around outside in spring, summer, fall, and winter. "I'd Do It All Again" is a song anyone and everyone can relate to. It's haunting yet present. I like the soul feeling in "The Blackest Lily" and her voice is so smooth. " I Would Like To Call It Beauty" is an obvious inspiration, and "The Sea" is a delicately grand ending. I cannot wait to actually own this album.

The rain is over. I was laying down in the sun today and it felt nice. My new music obsession, St. Vincent.

What a weekend.

Second week back at school and I get the stomach flu, although I did get it over a three day weekend, still a bummer. I still feel pretty weak, but I'm trying to get through it. What's even worse is that I was hosting a dinner party and I had to leave early because I got sick! When I was getting dressed this morning it was pretty obvious I was sick. On a somewhat lighter note, because of the rainy weather I've been listening to José González's cover of "Hearbeats" and a lot of Bon Iver.

Today after discussing Greek theater history, we had to write down what parts we are auditioning for in The Pajama Game. The thing is the musical is the same weekend as Coachella, so everyone's going to get out of doing the play and we'll have no audience. We live in L.A., you have to put these things into consideration when choosing dates!! Anyway, I'm going for Babe and Gladys. We'll see what happens.

I should go do homework, or take a nap, or do laundry-- something productive.

cupcakes, candles, and crêpes.

happy birthday, gibron!

nineteen, wow.
