This is an inventory for the ages
This May during my last finals ever of college I decided to start Mad Men from the beginning (high five, Jesse) and man I don't know why I ever thought I was bored by it when I first tried s1 forever ago (and gave up). I'm also on season 4 of The Good Wife after starting it for the first time in October. S4 was slow…
I'm a lapsed Episcopalian where I go to church on Christmas to appease my mother. I always loved how at my church we had very traditional music - played on an organ with a full choir (as it should be). Suf's versions of traditional carols really hit me, especially Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing and O Come. I'm…
I was actually super curious about bts stuff because I would hate it if it was all fake (as some people claim) and these kids weren't really these tiny baller chefs
After Outlander premiered I had just moved to New York and didn't really know anyone so I ended up spending all my time reading all 8 books back to back to back to infinity. 8000 pages in about 2 months, I was actually thankful to start grad school so I could interact with humans again
For me, the biggest issue with LOTR is getting through Tom Bombadil but you've already cleared that hurdle so I genuinely don't know what to say about powering through the rest
I remember wanting to read A Handmaid's Tale in high school for a project but then my teacher assigned us books I ended up reading the fucking Fountainhead instead. Still a little bitter about that one.
My freshman year of high school I did the same thing, and right when I was in the middle of Sirens of Titan, Vonnegut died.
I'm a huge DFW fan and Infinite Jest was kind of a struggle for the first several hundred pages (seriously took me a couple of months to read) but then once I finally felt like I was getting everything I finished it in no time. I feel like I should reread but it's almost more daunting going in for a second time
After reading about the HBO adaptation I started Going Clear, and it is crazy and so fascinating but now I'm in the midst of finals so it's just waiting for my christmas flight home…
I've been really surprised at how little I've seen it on lists across the web. The production values are absolutely stunning and I got seriously hooked while it was airing (I even decided to pick up the books! All eight of them…)
The other day I made a friend watch the first episode of Broad City and we ended up watching the entire season in one sitting. So basically what I'm saying is hell yeah number 2!
Ready for a reprise of Dunst's Drop Dead Gorgeous Minnesotan accent
My favorite of right now is "My Silver Lining" from First Aid Kit, a song I shazaam'd several times before realizing I should write the name down
Ranking is hard! Here's a list of (mostly new?) shows I enjoyed this year that are in the order I thought of them
The awful CGI + the fact that the montage seemed become even more ludicrously long than any other Sons montage just made me start laughing and I had actually been kind of sad earlier in the episode…shame
The way the Chandelier sequence was shot was very Skins-esque to me, I thought it was a really good choice
RIP Undeclared?
In 2006 I got a new phone for christmas that you could put music on, so a selection of tracks from Spoon, The Dandy Warhols, and the Arctic Monkeys were put in heavy rotation for anyone that would listen to my tinny Motorola Razr - so now whenever I hear "The Way We Get By" (and more!) my head immediately jumps to…
Against my better judgement I actually teared up a little at Jax hesitating to shoot Gemma. Despite his inability to master an accent in 7 years, Charlie Hunnam had some pretty decent acting moments over the course of the series. Boy gives good cry face.
