He sleeps all night and he kills all day.

I watched the documentary The Mind of Mark DeFriest. DeFriest was originally arrested and convicted in the early 1980s for stealing his dead father's tools that were willed to him, because he didn't understand probate, and ended up staying in prison for over three decades (and still is in there) for numerous escapes…

Kind of like Ben in Blue Velvet! No one needs to know how he got that cast, he just has it.

Thanks! I've finally got the confidence to go back to school full time now. Jumping in feet first.

Will do. I think he was just really impressed with it, and that's why he gave me the glowing review. I'll take the praise!

I got a 100% on my huge paper. My professor said he was looking forward to my paper the most, wasn't disappointed, and that I was "far and away the top of the class." I am feeling kind of high about that right now.

I saw him in Ann Arbor during that tour, and he was incredible. The sound was awful, but the show itself was great. Reading about the other shows, were he bombed horribly and would often lay on his back and just speak gibberish, was just sad.

I know, right? But he is so amazing in that role that I honestly forget that it's him most of the time. He plays Christine beautifully.

This is honestly the best news I've heard all month. I am beyond thrilled, mainly because we get more Christine Baskets.

I really needed the sloths at the end of that. (Or anytime, but at the end of that especially.) Even though I will never be pregnant, as I'm both now incapable of being so and a lesbian, I have a lot of straight/bi women in my life, and I care for them deeply. What Kasich has signed off on for abortion laws in my own…

He did quite a remarkable job with the abortion story, I thought. And I was beyond thrilled when the sloths showed up.

Melanie Laurent was the best part of Inglorious Basterds and definitely deserved a nomination. I got the Christoph Waltz love, but she was outstanding. He does get some fantastic performances out of actresses, and that he got Pam freakin' Grier to be in Jackie Brown was awesome to me. She's always been one of my…

Zodiac made me afraid of Donovan music. Donovan! How can you be afraid of Donovan music? But I agree, the film is brilliant, and I love how it's a period piece but isn't ridiculously out there about it.

Oh god, yeah. This isn't Meet the Parents here. DeNiro was amazing. Everyone in that movie was good, even Kevin Costner!

I agree. I enjoy his recent stuff, don't get me wrong. I saw The Hateful Eight a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. But there's something really special about Jackie Brown, and he hasn't even tried to pull off anything with the same feel since, and it's really quite sad.

The violence in Jackie Brown is incredibly restrained, which works in his favor a lot. And the cast is just stellar. The novel is good, though a bit different from the film. One huge diversion: Jackie Brown is Jackie Burke, and she's white.

Post Office is amazing.

It's his most mature movie, I think. It benefits a lot from not really being a Tarantino story, since it's adapted from Rum Punch, while still being obviously a Tarantino film. Pam Grier was phenomenal in it, as was Robert Forrester. I share Tarantino's grief that Grier wasn't nominated for an Oscar for her work on…

The only one I've read is Naked Lunch. Perhaps I'll pick up something else during spring break. I was going to start through my Bukowski list, but Burroughs could be fun.

I tried finding something interesting to watch since I finished my huge project for my class, but with all of the fucky stuff going on in politics right now, I said "screw it" and put on a marathon of Trailer Park Boys. Which I have seen multiple times before. I don't care, I just needed to unwind to something that…
