a) Call me 18 years old, but I love Darren Criss. I've been listening to his music non-stop since he's been on Glee (yes, shock horror, "I didn't know Darren Criss before Glee"). I've been YouTube stalking him all day; he does a brilliant cover of 'Let It Be', 'Wish Upon a Star', and his own 'Not Alone' practically makes anyone, man or woman, swoon. And the videos with Charlene Kaye are so cute, they make me sick.

b) I've finished 'Into the Wild' which I hope to review soon, or else it'll go out of my min d forever. I've only started 'The Old Man...', so far it's a little... I don't know - dialoguey? - right now, but that's because I don't think I'm in the mood for one, though I know that when I do read more descriptive stuff, I plead for more dialogue. I'm going through a short stories phase, especially after reading two lagging novels. Before this I read a few of the stories from Richard Yates' 'Eleven Kinds of Loneliness' which was realistic, heartbreaking but beautiful, very telling of the complicated, messed up emotions we all have.

c) 30 Rock which is coming to an end. After 5 seasons, it's still hilarious with such GREAT acting from EVERYONE! I've made the decision that I want my life to come as close to Tina Fey's as possible. What a talented woman - if I was a man I would be overcome with lust.

d) British show Friday Night Dinner is great. I was a bit weary about what Channel 4 would throw at us in the absence of any real comedies as of late, but this show is great. The parents are probably what do it for me, though Jonny and Adam work so well together, they almost remind me of what my siblings and I would be like if we weren't so lazy.

p.s. how amazing is this?....


I've been playing Bright Eyes' latest album so much, it really has grown on me - not that it had much to grow already. I can't shake it off, not that I'd want to. It's fluffy in the right places and hard when it needs to be (don't take that out of context).

oh, and p.p.s. I'm not much of a photographer or a Photoshop-per, but I've been loving film grain effects all of a sudden. Something about the 60s/70s? I don't know, but for any child who feels like their were born in the wrong decade, or era, or minute, it is nice to wonder...
