Orientation Leaders ‘09! I love my summer job and I love the diverse, incredible people that I work with! We basically get paid to mingle and chat with strangers that usually have some kind of connection to one of us. It’s great.
“Imagine discovering a box hidden behind a wall for fifty years.” So begins the tale of a french girl named Amelie, whose life view is best described as ‘fantasy-inspired’. Inanimate objects speak and interact with Amelie and describe a kind of reality that, if it weren’t a film, might lead you to believe she should pay a visit to the nearest psychopharmacologist. Fortunately, she doesn’t. This charming, beautifully romantic story, lovingly told in fine cinematic style, was a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic. (When the Bijou’s marketing department learned it had been added to the calendar, a collective “ahhhh”, and sounds of glee emanated throughout the building.) In French with English subtitles and a remarkable musical soundtrack.”
…I’ll be there!
I want to own this charming movie.
I bought this today at McKay’s for $2.00! I can’t wait to finish all of my Austen stuff so I can read this. =)
Becca- I too love the Tomato Head best and enjoy indulging in cheap McKay’s treasures. Will you be around the area much this summer? I’d really like to try to get together. I’m working for the University as an orientation leader so I stay pretty busy but I think it’d be nice to catch up??
This is a DORM room, yes, A DORM ROOM. It is currently home to Maximilian Sinsteden, a senior at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. It was featured in New York Magazine in the Home Design section earlier this month. I love the layers of oriental rugs, the GREEN walls, the random unmatching artwork on the walls, his colorful tie collection, and his mini bar tray table. THIS will be my new inspiration!
My mother. Soon to be 50 years old/young. Presumably the most interesting and mysterious person I have ever known. I don’t spend much time with her these days nor do I sven speak to her on a regular basis. Nevertheless, the moments we do spend together I truly treasure. Tonight we enjoyed Indian food and Heineken light together. It was so nice to catch up and share stories with eachother. She talked of purchasing a “lucky” Chinese bamboo plant for me. Ironically I purchased on just last week when my friends and I look a day trip to IKEA in Atlanta.
I’ll admit that I, like everyone else I know, enjoy spending hours in IKEA wondering through its many home decor departments and loving almost every inespensive-yet-stylish piece of furniture. However, I also feel that stuffing your home with their items disguises your true personality and distiction as a person and as a home. Maybe that’s just me.
Later on I told my mother of a necklace that I’ve had my eye on for nearly a year now. It is a delicate fortune cookie charm on a simple chain. I found it in a lovely shop in Market Square called bliss. I was going to treat myself to it when I got my first summer paycheck. My mother left the room and came back with a cardboard white jewlery box that, when opened, revealed a small silver fortune cookie charm that my mother had bought for herself just days ago. She gave it to me and I had the perfect silver chain for it already. It is now resting on my neck and I love it even more than I would have loved the one from bliss.
I think this is cool. The Fray doing their version of Kanye West’s “Heartless.”
I want this print for the new apartment.
