I wish my robes were purple- It's Graduation Day!!
This picture was taken by my fabulous Goob two years ago, and today I will have another one! USC robes are boring black, unlike Northwestern’s bright purple. Go Cats!! Oh…I mean uh…Fight on!! Trojans!
However, this time I have a hood and odd long winged sleeves, which, incidentally, someone told me provides a good place to store phone/keys/chapstick. Not sure I’m going...

Star Trek Into Darkness
I saw this in 3D last night at the Arclight Dome. It. Was. Awesome.
And watching it amongst all the trekkies was even better. They laughed at all the Star Trek insider jokes.
I must say, for 3/4ths of the movie I was wondering why the Enterprise didn’t have seat belts- and then they appeared in the most high-tech fashion I could have imagined.
Benedict Cumberbatch= Yes
Go. See....

They took my furniture
Looks like it’s really happening. Out of the Closet came today to pick up mis muebles. I donated them instead of asking a Craigslist Killer to come and pay me for them. They wouldn’t take my bed because it’s a twin. They didn’t explain why that was an issue. But no matter! They took everything else. Graduation is 4 days away!
This post comes to you from my floor. As I...

Gatsby
I feel as though I have been waiting to see for this movie for over a year. Oh wait, I have. And that is a lot to live up to for a movie. And boy did Baz Luhrmann deliver.
He gave me exactly what I wanted and more: excellent cast, fantastic production, killer soundtrack, faithful representation of the book, and last but not least, that goldmine of a costume wardrobe. After watching the movie,...

Research Fellowship Accepted- Australia Bound
Well, first I have to graduate.
And then Chicago. And then 4 weeks in AUSTRALIA!!!
Our topic is genocide resistance, hopefully by June I’ll have calmed down enough NOT to run around Australia screaming “I’m going on an adventure!!” like Bilbo Baggins.

Iron Man 3
Yes!
I love that they are making these films so interwoven. In the latest installment of Iron Man: Iron Man 3, we hear many mentions of the goings-on in The Avengers movie. Now, I feel the need to re-watch Avengers. I suppose I should watch Thor first…
Overall, this is exactly what a summer action/super-hero movie is supposed to be. Oh, and stay for the extra scene at the end.
Now...

Trance
Hm.
I…er….
Right. Lots of stuff going on in Danny Boyle’s latest film, Trance. It has my favorite french bad guy- Vincent Cassel. It has Rosario Dawson…(“Will you light my candle?”)
I’ll leave my review at that, anything else would give things away.
Sidenote: I saw James McAvoy as a stutterer in a 3-person play in London a few years back. It was...

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
I love the writing in this movie. And I love Jimmy Stewart. It’s crazy how a movie released in 1939 can still feel fresh and relevant.
Jefferson Smith: Everybody else calls you just plain Saunders, why can’t I?
Saunders: Go right ahead.
Jefferson Smith: Saunders. That’s better. Good morning, Saunders..Hello Saunders..How’s the bill coming, Saunders?
Saunders:...
