once upon a time...

A girl started a blog. But, because she had no idea what she was doing the next week, let alone the next year, she couldn't think of a fitting and snazzy title. Hence, a temporary title...appropriate to each moment in a series of temporary lives.

I think closure’s overrated. I’m more a fan of open-ended, unrequited love.
— Seth Cohen, The OC.  How did I not watch this show - not even once - when it was actually on?  No matter; more to enjoy now.

willpower:

There are two cans of cherry coke under my bed in Bay Head.  They have been there since summer 2007.  I refuse to drink them.  Don’t get me wrong; I want to drink them.  But I will not.

Winston Isn’t Normal

An amazing exploration of the ways in which one particular cat named Winston deviates from almost all the “normal” character traits of his breed.  Funny stuff, man.  I want a Winston.

Thanks to Suzi for the link!

Just don’t settle, all right? For somebody else’s idea of what the real world is.
— Kevin Smith, during his guest star stint on Degrassi.  Thank you, Canada, both for being the country of my birth and for spawning such amazing teen television.

Edward Cullen meets Buffy Summers

Normally I refuse to visit Perez Hilton’s website, but had to break that rule today when I saw a link to this video.  Remixed by Jonathan McIntosh of www.rebelliouspixels.com, this little masterpiece reveals “a pro-feminist visual critique of Edward’s character and generally creepy behavior. Seen through Buffy’s eyes some of the more patriarchal gender roles and sexist Hollywood tropes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed in hilarious ways.”

This dude is awesome.  I want to be his friend.

He’s just so intense. I mean, he talks about our relationship in terms of centuries. Sometimes we just stay up all night, worshipping each other, like bats.
— Nicole Kidman as Gillian Owens, Practical Magic.  Awesome late-night movie with some really bizarre lines.

Henson’s 11

Pretty much exactly what it sounds like - an ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ spoof featuring the Muppets.  Sort of brilliant.  I always admire these little creative efforts - so much time goes into them!  Thanks to H for the link.

For Valentina. Taken on the way home from acting class, heading west on Sunset Blvd.

You are wise, Liz Lemon. Like a genetically manipulated shark.
— Tracy Morgan as Tracy Jordan, 30 Rock.  Possibly the best thing ever said on television…but then again 30 Rock provides a new “best thing ever said on television” every freaking week.
