The Great Beauty Film Commentary - beware possible spoilers!

By
Trains that don’t go anywhere ... La Grande Belleza was hard for me. It’s the first film we’ve been assigned in my contemporary film class that I didn’t fall in love with on some level. My gut reaction to the film the first time around was that there was some profound stuff in it, but that is was achingly long and headache-inducingly convoluted. I just didn't 'get' it. I appreciate it more now, after considering the questions which were posed to us, and reading the articles, interviews, and reviews. There are now things I find interesting about it, and questions it left me, but I’m still not in love with it. The initial party scene instantly made my mind flashback to Baz Luhrmann’s Gatsby party scenes. Though I admit the excess and debauchery were grittier and more palpable in this film. But the break-neck montages almost made me nauseous at times.  And after a certain point the cinematography felt like just another layer of distraction in a film so much about exactly that...

World's smallest bathroom improvements

By
Because I can't fit Instagram on my phone, I lack that fantastic ability to cobble multiple pics together for tweeting, etc. Therefore, when I have multiple pics to post - I have to either do it one at a time, or make a blog post. It's tough living in the dark ages, LOL ;-) For those who don't know - and why should you? - my bathroom is the size of a postage stamp. But, it is attached to my bedroom and MINE all MINE, so I don't complain. Anyway, it was seriously lacking in storage. Despite the over the toilet storage cabinet I put together when we first moved in, and despite all my best Dollar Store attempts - a girl needs STORAGE! So, to that end ... I give you my (bathroom) improvement projects of the day. An Earring Merry Go Round - and yes, I like gold hoops. This handy little dude came pre-assembled. I just slid it outta the box and filled it :-) This one I had to put together - no biggie using power tools :-) But I do need to sort something out ...

My Word for 2018

By
I don't know what rock I've been living under, but this concept of having a guiding word for the year is brand new to me. I only know about it because of a vlogger I watch regularly: She's in Her Apron . But the idea is SO up my alley. I've never been a resolution-maker, but a word? I love words, obviously. I live for them, by them, and though them. To use one to define all my many intentions and goals for the year is one of those ideas where I'm mystified that I never thought of it! My word for 2018 is: RELEASE
