oh, it’s just a phase

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

so i go through times where music annoys me and it doesn’t even occur to me to play any while i’m puttering around; other times i crave it and need to fill my earholes constantly. the dumb thing is i still buy and download music, even when i’m in a no-sound phase, so i hae […]


i’m not gonna lie to you

Friday, March 21st, 2008

being sick is totally teh suck.
but spending so much time in a supine position, i’ve been able to sample a wide variety of the fare on my new favorite website. and it’s been a little surprising!
i got to rewatch a few episodes of andy barker, p.i., which, if you haven’t watched, go do so now. […]


tv show review: the riches

Friday, March 14th, 2008

i think anyone who reads this here blahg knows that i dig me some eddie izzard. but for some reason i could not bring myself to watch The Riches. I’m not sure why; i loved “Damages” and I love Eddie Izzard, I dig Minnie Driver, and the premise is pretty interesting…. but anyway. I didn’t […]


movie review: charlie bartlett

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

i saw charlie bartlett last night. i liked it; i thought anton yelchin was adorable (what’s with dude’s teeth, though? they’re white like that episode of friends where ross leaves the bleach on for too long. and so big! the guy can barely talk!) and i would watch robert downey jr do anything. (really. […]


sayra’s oscar predix

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

i thought i did this last year, but i guess i didn’t. oh well, here goes this year’s. (i’m not going to try to guess on the categories that i know nothing about, like the shorts and the technical stuff.) and what better way to celebrate that other superbowl with a post dedicated to the […]


movie review: there will be blood

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

just got home from TWBB, and i have to say: mind not blown. i think my expectations might have been too high. i kept comparing it to No Country for Old Men, which is not necessarily fair, but the movies are similar in several ways: they’re both set against a bleak and expansive landscape; there […]


this is not acceptable

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

there are a few things that i am really into that most people would be surprised to know about: i take my temperature all the time (i’m just interested); i dig cool umbrellas; i’m fascinated by french politics; i’m a little bit obsessed with scarves; and i really, really REALLY love awards season. i […]


is it just me?

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

i know the poster for the new movie “one missed call” is meant to be scary (and i’m sure the actual movie IS scary),

ten* movies you should add to your netflix queue now

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

in no particular order:
1. Accepted. I totally thought this movie would be terrible, but if there’s a chance that Justin Long will fall down or get hit in the face with something, I’m in. (I love the Justin Long. He’s just so freaking good at physical comedy!) This one is very sweet and, in a […]


whipped cream and bacon

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

I spent the weekend making cookies and candy to give as gifts to friends and work folk. i don’t ever want to fit into my fancy new jeans again, yay! (but i made some really yummy stuff. and i will eat salad or brown rice for lunch and dinner for the next 7 days. then […]
