I love everything about this commercial directed by Sofia Coppola. (song by Brigitte Bardot)
I wish I lived my life wearing neutral Dior dresses while snacking on macaroons and
running around Paris. The perfume also smells fantastic.

Ok I can now officially say I know how Charlton Heston feels at the end of 'Planet of the Apes'.That sort of deranged "are you fucking kidding me' feeling.

Now granted I have not returned to a world where primates are supreme (YET) but I do feel like as Fall approaches I will be stuck in an environment that have mover on and evolved(ha).
For those who don't know-from Jan-up until last week I was thrown into the exhausting totally consuming Student teaching internship. I was at Ypsi high with Griff dog and was pushed to the brink.
The first weeks weren't so bad, I was able to hang out alittle but wow. I eventually did my unit of Orwell's 1984, thankfully since Mrs G desperately wanted me to do Wuthering Heights. Now I didn't want to beat around the bush but fuck Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff and Mary was so obnoxious, and let's be honest after Mary died no one could continue.
Thankfully I kicked and screamed and got to do the unit of my choice. It was tough and a lot of work. One instance involving me calling every used bookstory in the Detroit Metro Area for used books which I gladly paid out of my pocket.

Griffdog did provide me with crazy suicidal moments which led to wonderful anecdotes to share. Honestly I realiz now how much I talked and talked about her. I'm sure Freud would have something to say about my subconscious.

Anyway my unit ended great with a final showcase day, we talked about everything from propaganda, Stalin, war art, doublespeak, and sex as rebellion (which hopefully no one will discuss). It was the hardest and most fulfilling experience I must say.
BUT it has completley rendered me out of touch with everything. Including lj. Sure I followed ontd and still baked furiously but now everyone is twittering and everything.

Also Gen's stalker extrdinaire must have seen me perusing his page because I now look back and see him commenting on my older entries. YOU STAY CLASSY MICHAEL GOODMAN! let go motherfucker, get some help.

So quick highlights:

-I hate blind dating, Why do I agree to letting people set me up.I don't date in general, so what makes me let people set me up.
-I saw Morrissey again in March. This time with better seats. Vinnie, Nadine, and I proceeded to stalk his tour bus in the blistering cold for a few hours only to see him scurry in and not talk to anyone. *Sigh* I just love a man who ignores me.
-Except for taking my CPR cert. I am now officially done, free, and soon to be broke.
- I'm 22 mothertruckers!
-I graduated and got to walk right next to Marisa which was awesome.
-I love my students but feel kind of weird when they are requesting facebook friendships. Eeek help?
-I'm deterimined to be more active this summer! I went running yesterday and I plan to bike and swim tomorrow....we'll see how long this lasts\
-We rented 'The reader' and 'Doubt' last night. Wow Kate Winslet's nipples. My eyes have become more chummy with hers than my own.
-I am really getting into French cooking. I just need to find people to do it for, because I could take on a whole rack of lamb on my own. SAD BUT TRUE.
-I feel really bad for laughing at the Jon minus 9 jokes way back when now that they are becoming a reality.
-I kinda miss info desk now that I can't see the lovely faces of those I worked with on a daily basis.
-Ok Olivia sent me the link for this trailer. Come on now tell me this indie shit dosen't look appealing. ANd Joseph Gordon-levitt! How soon can you get to my bed?

After watching the socially inept hottie Robert Pattinson on Tyra, I was immediately struck with a very bad case of Second-hand shame. I now come to realize it is all thanks to Ms. Banks. And so I quickly plead..Enough Tyra Banks. I beg you to cease you arrogant, self-indulgent talk-show conversations. End the holier than thou-you are helping society/young women/body image/world hunger/plight of strippers.Discontinue America's next top model,put it out of it's pathetic misery. Enough.







In other news I need to get back to sleep. I have an appointment with my optometrist and specialist. My right eye gets periodically pink despite no irritation. I am very anxious to say the least. I took a nap as soon as I got home but now I am awake and pondering the insanity that is Ty Ty.

I saw you with her today by sheer coincidence. As you edged
closer to her, your crucifix necklace began to tug at her chest.
You were giving her that look. God do I know that look.
I refused it back then.
I turned and walked the opposite direction. There it was,the tinge of envy.



I don't know what I deplore more-the constant random love proclamations or the fact
I secretly want them.
You were never to be trusted. And neither am I.



I told you no because I couldn't see past the morning after.
You are the type of lad I used to despise.
Yes you are beautiful. Yes you are kind.
But I said no. Where could we lead?
I never did like your gorgeous face.

So don't fucking call. Don't give me those looks. You can't have us both.


Your girls' lovely.Bask in her and please forget me.

-I want to start swimming at the YMCA ( and it' NOT because of the Olympics or Michael (paper bag sex) phelps).

-I find that in my last hours of fasting I bake like crazy.
The past two weeks I made: Gateau Breton (a french butter cake), Strawberry Shortcakes, Pomegranate ice cream, Apple crisp, and Victoria sponge cake. Today I made roast chicken though...Ina garten is my enabler.


-The Tina fey skit made me incredibly happy even though nothing surrounding Sarah palin should.


-Conservative Feminism both confuses and fascinates me.


-I hate when my brother is so keenly right about my potential.


-I'm in a musical rut and contemporary music ain't cutting it.


-Middle Earth closed down and I am so devasted, now where am I supposed to buy random/incredible
postcards?



-I just saw the trailer for the new film about Harvey Milk. Strangely enough I saw some documentary about sex in America a few months ago and he was mentioned which sparked me intrest then. Needless to say, the trailer gets me so chocked up it looks bloody fantastic. Go watch it.


-I finally rented "The Dead poets society" the other day. It's been on my movies to see list for awhile now.
I cried. I cried like a bitch.It was wonderful without being too preachy like most of those formulaic teacher films. I want to be fucking Robin Williams (sans hairy-ness) in this movie. Spewing the Walt Whitman and taking literature and creating a personal link with the students.I want to be that teacher-oh so terribly. The end with the 'O captain' bit was beautiful and perfect.

A few weeks ago we got a new summer work schedule that cut my 16 hrs to 11. Supposedly it's for budget cuts and what not because our minumum wage is burning a hole in the University.Now normally I could agree seeing as I know my job is pretty trivial, but it's funny seeing that my competition is just a few feet away collecting dust and lots of fingerprints.Yes, EMU blew lots of money on a brand new pricy grand piano. The worst part is there is also a lame cd it came with and plays horrible music-smooth jazz! EW And while I enjoy the occasional bystander freak out trying to find out how the haunted piano is playing I usually need something to numb my mind off the smooth jazz. That's when I catch up on some tube...on the web

Thus I bring you:shows I've been watching:
 
Mad Men
Set in NY in the 1960s the show follows Madison avenue advertising agency. The show has got some major critical acclaim and rightfully so. Every fucking detail from the cigarrettes to the women's fashions is so well done. Every character is sort of deceitful and desperate it's absolutely amazing.Esp Don Draper (Jon hamm) hubba hubba. To me the standout character is Office manager Joan who makes use of her sex appeal and plays into it to her advanatge. She's be a bitch is she wasn't so damn appealing.
                                                   
She's such a hot fiesty red-head I find myself root for her instead of the overly ambitious Peggy.
From the intense close details to the fantastic writing, the characters are so well done that you are puzzled by the idea of the hero being in such a position preying into the emotions of people for consumerism.

Freaks and Geeks
I'm probably the only person that thinks Judd Apatow's films are kinda mediocre (superbad was quite fanastic) and rather  find his fleeting television projects greatly superior. You've heard all the hype so I'll spare the riding of Apatow's dick by just noting the first scene of the pilot, where you see a jock and cheerleader consulting each other in a cheesy traditional WB format making you think this show is going to go there.The camera then  sinks below the bleachers where the burnouts and focal characters are seen slacking.Best highscool drama. Plus Bill was fucking fantastic too. He alone sold it to me.
 
Secret Diary of a call girl

I know what you're thinking but I'll stop you right there! You know when people say get your mind out of the gutter? well this show welcomes your gutter-ridden mind. I love Billie Piper ok. I loved her as Rose on Doctor Who. I love her awkward jaw and chin. And I love her as high class hooker Belle deJour. Hugely popular in the UK (who are much more open to nudity and the terms tits) the show is based off a blog-turned book about an actual London call girl and her shanagans. I couldn't find the blog but I do know there has been alot of chatter about whether she is real or a just some writer's dream. While some claim the show glorifies prostitution, I find it simply portraying another side of that world. The show is really naughty but incredibly fascinating. It definitely comes head on, and dosen't tip toe around anything. Apparently it's good enough for Showtime because season one will air in the fall bitches!

Extras
While I tend to abhor the cheesy guest appearances from random celebrities esp on comedies, here on Ricky Gervais's(office UK) new show centers around this idea. Some notable appearances: Kate Winslet, Daniel Radcliffe, David Bowie, Orlando Bloom,Ian Mckellan, and Ben stiller but my fav is Patrick Stewart's:


The Royal Shakespearian voice gets me each and every time.

-So after months and months of no cable, today was the day the Dish guy came to set up the telly.
I finally curl up and I notice that besides the basics there is a definite lack of channels. My beloved Bravo, Food network, History channel and TLC are gone. I think this may be the indicator of addiction because I was so bloody enraged. I was shaking, in hindsight it was abit overdramatic but what the fuck do I need 3 nickelodeans?
So next week or so we've got to call and and fix the plan. I did get to watch a beloved episode of 'Legends of the Hidden Temple' which I believe was soley responsible for preventing a breakdown.

- Speaking of mental breakdowns, minus one of them I did finally finish finals on Tuesday. Thankfully I did well in EDPS and Citino's class, praying for Bev to not get drunk during grading the finals and fail me by accident(like last time)again.

-I am so so so bloody poor, Even with Eid celebrations rolling in much needed cash I am still lacking with fines and required necesities not to mention x-mas gifts and cards for pen pals.
I think I really should start looking for another job, info desk is great but working retail (shudders) is financially more lucrative at this point :(

But what's the best part about working the info desk on break?
Getting to blast the greatest song loudly:


'Paper Planes' by M.I.A if you don't already know-Shame on you!
Is my favourite song right now. Check it and her out-that is an order!

Ya so once again I've forgotten I have this thing.
I'm in Halle library right now, I've been here for two hours trying to catch up
some work. There's 2 guys seriously comparing and looking at their options about
looking at cars. You CANNOT afford the mercedes you douches!
God save you cash on invest in a neon sign that spells over-compensating:Small PENIS.
It's cheaper, quicker, and will save you time while also appealing to the demographic
you should be aiming for, desperate girls looking for that something special of bad sex and a facebook relationship confirmation. Mhhmmm.

Life is getting super mundane fast, classes are starting to pick up the pace with work. After Citino's class on Friday I rush over to Ypsi high to observe 3 ninth grade English classes. Thrilling right? The kids are pretty cool, the fourth period though is highly populated with assholes that make me yearn for abortions and crazy ass child labour (industrial revulotion really so bad?). The rest are pretty good. The other day in class one kidremarked about something being retarded to which the teacher goes on her spchiel of political correctness about real 'retarded' people and their feelings to which he rectifies by saying it was stupid not retarded. Then some other kid says 'hey I know some really stupid people, that's offensive!.' :)
In celeb news...

I really want to jump mark Ronson's bones. Hot British/NY cub scene DJ /producer  ,worked wonders on Amy Winehouse's album.  check out his cover of the smith's "stop me" below. I'm kind of mixed on if I like this version. Some days I despise it while others I adore. Anyways I want some of his Jewish sexiness now and you should too.
/ horny rant

 

I've also come to realize I need to stop taking pictures with my mouth open. It is now a bad weird habit and contrary to my beliefs It does not come across sexy on me. I am not kate moss so rather I end up looking like I am weaning.
seriously though I am one bad photo-shopped cock from regretting it.

On a lighter note: I'm not fasting today or tomorrow-Woot suck it bitches.

So I've been crazy busy and officially neglective of this thing.
Seriously if my LJ was my baby, child services would be all up on this shit.
I'll give the updated recaps.

*Latley I have become one of those girls who at work spends all her time internet shopping. Shoes are my porn, how cliche!

*Saw Morrissey May 14th, was the highlight of my year. We saw Rob Citino there with his daughter and he was adorable and giddy over Morrissey, so cute! Also bought moz tank, pics soon.

*I got a speeding ticket and June 6th I'm going to court to contest it. Any suggestions or advice? So far I've been advised to deny any responsibilty, stress my perfect driving record, and wear something short with a low V-neck.

*Oh ya So May 10 marked my birthday, no longer a teen officially. Woot.

*I miss you, stop reading this and let's do something.

"Morrissey will undertake a 40-date tour of North America beginning 27 April. Venue details and ticket prices will be announced within the next two weeks. Tickets for all concerts will go onsale on the same day.
Support for all dates will be Kristeen Young."

Sweet Baby Jesus If Moz comes to Michigan I will simply shit my pants.....but not in front of him :)
If he goes further to come to Ann Arbor I'll probably go vegetarian. It would be worth it.
