What Is A Relationship?

I just watched a brilliant short film titled “Please Say Something“, by David OReilly. The style is rather abrupt and open to interpretation, and there are lots of hidden things [mostly words]. Watch it carefully:

Bake Me A Pie

The more I watch Pushing Daisies, the more I fall in love with Lee Pace.
[Hmmm, he has thick eyebrows. Like J. Coincidence.]
He has very sensitive eyes, and is absolutely adorable as the Piemaker. There are rumors that he prefers men over women but I won’t believe anything unless he says it himself.
When I saw the trailer for The Fall somewhere online last year, I was completely drawn in. I am very much attracted to aesthetically appealing movies such as Memoirs of a Geisha and Hero, and The Fall did not disappoint. It was visually stunning, and the soundtrack, coupled with minimal dialogue, added to the beauty of the film. Another bonus is the gratuitous amount of bare, muscular male bodies. Delicious.
On the topic of Lee Pace, one way of knowing whether I’m completely over the relationship is seeing when I’ll be able to watch Pushing Daisies again.
I started watching the show a few weeks after it began, after I had spent the afternoon with JY, who was absolutely raving about it. I had seen the commercials for the show on ABC, but I didn’t even know what the phrase “pushing daisies” meant and was not interested in adding another show to my lineup. JY is a very persuasive woman, however, so after going home, I went online and watched the first episode. And then proceeded to watch the next three episodes consecutively because it was that good.
I told J about it and pressured him to watch, which he did eventually. He liked it, but not as much as I did.
Usually, I despise cheesy romances. Pushing Daisies, however, holds a certain charm in its unique characters and clever dialogue that doesn’t grow old. The forbidden romance between Ned and Chuck was also faintly familiar to me. I’ve been too busy to watch any episodes for this entire semester, and though I’ve wasted much idle time recently, my appetite for Pushing Daisies has waned. I simply don’t think I’ll be able to stomach the cute romantic nature of the show for a long while.
The fact that this season is the last of Pushing Daisies is nothing short of tragic. Why must everything I love be taken from me?! Hopefully a movie is in the works. In the meantime, I plan to watch all of Lee Pace’s movies to fill the void Pushing Daisies has left. I love his acting.

I Love You But I’m Letting Go
February 27, 2009 § 1 Comment
On Wednesday I had the chance to speak with an older female IV leader about the one overwhelming aspect of my life right now, and by God’s grace she was able to speak truth into my life, revealing some things that I didn’t even know I was struggling with. It helped, but the hurt only deepened once I understood it, and is now giving way to anger.
Unlike despair, in which I can wallow miserably, anger makes me restless. I want to throw things, to get out. I want to go home. I want to confront people. But most of all, I just want my life back. But some people have to go and make things complicated…
I also wish I could stop pretending to be fine. Some of it is self-wrought, a defense mechanism because talking about it is painful even when I laugh about it. Some of it is caused by the fact that the world moves on, and even my closest friends can’t understand what I’m going through. Sometimes it’s not pretending, but most of the time I still carry around a darkness that I cannot yet release.
I can’t stop listening to this song:
Pomegranate Love
February 6, 2009 § 3 Comments
Pomegranates are my favorite fruit. They’re not my favorite because I eat them all the time, although I do love the taste and might be inclined to eat them more frequently if they were cheaper and easier to eat – I simply love everything about pomegranates. They’re beautiful, unique, healthy, delicious and were rather rare before food companies started pimping them out like no other [I’m usually drawn to things that are unconventional].
The first time I had POM Wonderful juice, I was enraptured. It was so authentic that I could feel the dry aftertaste, although I’ve never been able to convince myself to buy it again because it’s so expensive. Since then I’ve had Pomegranate 7Up, which was tasty but lacking genuine flavors, which is the same that happened with Pomegranate Izze. I was super excited when I got an email from Red Mango announcing that pomegranate was their newest flavor. When I tried it during winter break, though, the flavor was way too subtle for such a high price. I would recommend getting pomegranate seeds as a topping instead if one wants the flavor.
