I can never let things just be. I was blessed (cursed?) with an over-analytical brain that likes to take something that usually requires no thinking whatsoever and dissect it until A) I am satisfied with understanding the outcome or B) get so wound tight that I jump down the rabbit hole of darkness, only to […]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp8iIyKDOtk What it’s like: Behind the scenes of The Devil Wears Prada Why you’d like it: You get to see how an issue of a fashion magazine (Vogue) gets from concept to pages. There’s bickering, lots of longing, pensive looks from Anna Wintour (the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue), just how icy she can be, a […]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr0Mk3hjc20 What’s it’s like: The Sweetest Thing meets a milder The Hangover Why you’d like it: It starts off with a very awkward sex scene. It’s got crude jokes about bodily functions and sexual positions, but beneath all that, it actually has a storyline and heart. Why you won’t like it: It starts off […]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=O7ijukNzlUgWhat it’s like: Food, Inc. meets scientific research/pretty graphs meets real life “before” and “afters” Why you’d like it: It gives an interesting perspective and scientific evidence to back up the theory that a plant-based diet (aka vegan-ism) can drastically reduce, if not eradicate, major heart diseases, osteoporosis, cancers and many other afflictions that affect […]
There’s this quote on my chalkboard door that reads, “Do more than exist”. Have no idea who wrote it, where it’s from, but I get it. I really do get it. And from the dinner I just had with friends, it seems we’re all starting to “get it”. There was a time in my twenties, […]
Here’s a laugh riot for you…this was written by me in Los Angeles on March 31, 2004… 8 years later, I’m hilariously finding not much has changed — I still find myself a sarcastic writer when it comes to areas of the heart, still trying desperately to understand and psychoanalyze the meaning behind the meaning […]
Life has been teaching me a lot lately. Perhaps it’s because I’m finally paying attention to my emotions again (I have an uncanny ability to deny certain feelings until I explode into over-analysis McGee), or perhaps this is the period of my life that I need these lessons to mature (?) and grow…but whatever the […]
I like to questions everything. Analyze and collect the evidence to prove why things happen the way they do. (I was always an inquisitive kid). And while I was always asking “why”, I was also trying to read the signs…because I could not be satisfied by just knowing, I had to know how we got […]
Things I got done: 2. Read Breaking Dawn. 4. Make more money by selling off stuff I don’t use anymore and making an ebay account / amazon account 6. Have one room in my studio at least look like I put some thought into the design 8. Pay off at least one credit card. 9. […]
I’m a big talker, but not a big walker. Let me explain. I can talk and analyze my way through life like nobody’s business. I can talk about changing this (see painting my apt), or doing that (see exercise class), but when it comes to execution, I don’t walk the walk, I don’t even put […]
