OMG PLEASE let this be true! I was so bummed when Guillermo del Toro left the Hobbit, but if Peter Jackson directs it all will be well in the world. Kind of.

I was so hungover all day today. Like the worst ever. Not fun. Not fun at all.

People who Scare me

I realize they're just children... but still.

and here's a half-French, London hipsta covering Kate Bush:

Things

-I'm going to fail my dissertation.

-I love my coworkers. Hopefully work keeps going well.

-I don't know if I can afford to live in London next year.

- I miss my books at home.

-I really need to reread Portrait.

-I'm getting THQ cake today. It's been far too long.

-I miss being an English major.

-I'm afraid I'll have no one to hang with next year. But this is probably a ridiculous fear.

-I just want to be 35 and settled with a husband and babies. I'm not sure if this is normal. But I know a lot of people who feel the same way so maybe it is.

I Have Read the Right Books to Interpret your Looks

You were knocking me down with the palm of your eye.

I have a serious love/hate relationship with Joanna Newsom. I want to hate her, so badly. When I think of her I think hate filled thoughts.

I am a 13 year old girl

Taylor Swift is the poet of modern women everywhere. Right? I'm actually watching this video and manically laughing because she's SO wise! And she's such a cutie, who would want to hurt Taylo? I also want a loft apartment like hers.

I also want to point out that this video has nothing to do with my life, yet my imagination can stretch enough to make it fit.

Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not. Your mother brings you into the world, carries you first in her body. What do we know about what she feels? But whatever she feels, it, at least, must be real. It must be. What are our ideas or ambitions? Play. Ideas! Why, that bloody bleating got Temple has ideas. MacCann has ideas too. Every jackass going the roads thinks he has ideas.
