Zooey Deschanel style

seriously i want every article of clothing she owns.
or doesn't own- get's photographed in, whatever.
She's become the poster girl for amazing vintage-esque dresses.
If I could have anyone's entire wardrobe it would obviously be hers.

Tim Burton at the MoMA

I'm kind of ashamed to say I found out about this through Perez Hilton's twitter,
but I'm a huge Tim Burton fan so I am going to just ignore that fact.

Tim Burton is going to have an exhibit at the MoMA starting November 22nd, with all of his paintings, films, drawings, cocktail napkins, etc.
I am so excited and fully intend on going to see this sometime in the next month.
They are displaying such a large variety of things- I look forward to seeing what else this guy can do besides create ridiculously awesome movies.

Monday Evening Stress

This time of the year is always so crazy.
I am going to be nonstop writing English papers until December 19th, my last day of finals for the semester, along with various other assignments.
And I just finished midterms last week.
The work is seriously never-ending, and I'm dying for Christmas break, but I am trying to make the best of things. It helps to have something like Christmas break to look forward to, even though this year I'll be spending a good part of it finishing up my applications for grad school.
It's so nerve-wracking not knowing what my future holds. Being in Boston has been my life for the past 4 years, and those 4 years have flown by faster than you can even imagine.

Though I don't have a solid thesis for this post like I usually do, I still felt the need to write.
Tonight I traded in my usual Gossip Girl time slot for Intervention, probably in light of all the social work applications I've been working on the past couple weeks. I am really excited for that and I hope at least one school will accept me. I'm pretty nervous though, and I am so excited to move back to the tri-state area, eventually NYC, and of course eventually California.
I have not given up on that yet, and I don't think I ever will. It's been a dream of mine for at least ten years now, I think about how much I love it there every day. It's been too long since I've visited, I should probably make a trip soon, so I don't forget how much I love it. I think part of the reason I am such a big fan of Jack's Mannequin's "Everything in Transit" is because it has such a California vibe to it, but in a different way than I've ever felt it.

Sorry for rambling. My brain kinda feels like jello right now.

also, I've been listening to soooo much music lately its ridiculous, and I'm loving every minute of it. I'll have to do an entirely separate music post for you guys sometime this week.

Quote of the Week

"Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out of your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with."

The World's Largest Gummy Bear

So, I am a big fan of gummy bears.
Without even looking, I stumbled across this beauty.
It is the world's largest gummy bear.
5 pounds. 12,600 calories of pure gummy.
And the best part is that it comes in blue raspberrry.
As much as I love gummy bears, the thought of ingesting this entire thing makes me kind of queasy. Maybe if I could eat it over a long period of time it would be ok?
How long do you think it would take you to eat a gummy bear of this size?

It's just ridiculous!

Dear Jack

One thing that I haven't broadcast nearly enough is my obsession with Jack's Mannequin, and more specifically, Andrew McMahon of Jack's Mannequin, because he is a musical genius. Aside from this fact, he has quite the story to tell. Right after his first pre-album tour for his first Jack's album called "Everything in Transit," Andrew discovered that he had leukemia at the age of 22. He documented the whole thing, from diagnosis to recovery. In July of 2006 he started the Dear Jack Foundation, which has since gone on to raise over $250,000 for cancer research.
The documentary, "Dear Jack" finally came out this week. I preordered it of course, and watched it, and loved it, and yes, cried. I am so grateful he has survived and continues to make amazing music.
