Meeting time

Getting ready to go to the 48 hr "Rules" Meeting,

and instead of getting rest to prepare for the film competition, I have been doing the opposite and going to bed at 4 am every night and waking up late. I think this is a better plan, actually.

I am sooo excited for this week's Film a day, I am trying to do a Czech week but it is so hard when you just want to throw on so many movies!

What else is new, I am getting my film "Ghost Granny" scored by next week! Maria Bamford stand-up show tomorrow! Yes! She's my favorite. And almost done with Rosetta Stone Level 3.

Till then I need lots of cardboard, sleep, and to watch more films. I haven't had time to read this summer at all which is disappointing but at least my french has improved!


and..
I'm wearing my new/old shirt from ebay.

this shirt excites me..

Aug 1 -7 "Film a Day"

I have been pretty good on keeping up with this, a few times having to go to Blockbuster because of my Netflix 2 movies out at a time not shipping on time. 2 days this week I did not watch movies, but I did go to a play and a show so I think that kiiinnda counts.

I also have not kept up with my Rosetta Stone French but I have a good excuse! I have been preparing for 48 hr film by moving furniture and keeping supplies organized. I am excited for next week: 48 hr film, Photoshoot, more movies, Stand-up show!, and catching up on Rosetta.

MONDAY
Camille 2000 Directed by Radley Metzger (1969)
I've been watching a lot erotic 60's film which are amazing! Very romantic, beautiful, and great sexual films made with class. Not to mention amazing mod clothes that get me really excited

TUESDAY
Wild Grass Directed by Alain Resnais (2009)
I thought the plot kinda reminded me of Amelie, a little bit, it does involve lost items and returning them to the owner. I had no idea this was a French movie so I did watch half with the subtitles on and off and I understood it! Most of it at least. The colors in this film are really pretty and I regret not seeing this in theaters when I worked at The Bijou. I really enjoyed this film

WEDNESDAY
3 Idiots Directed by Rajkumar Hirani (2009)
This is THE #1 highest grossing film in India, ever made. So it's pretty much the #1 Indian movie of all time. I have searched like you have no idea for this film online, ebay, and had this on my Netflix wait list for a year. But finally I got it. This is a 3 hour comedy with reeeally good dance scenes. This movie did have it's weird moments and 2 and a half hours in you kinda wonder when is this going to end.. but not necessarily bad. I liked it and like I said, I really liked all the songs.

THURSDAY
"Touch" Play Directed by Toni Press-Coffman
I got invited to this play by one of the actors mom who I met at the CalArts Dallas dinner. He is a CalArts actor. I thought this play was really good. I got kinda emotional and really like that they had a screen with film being projected on. Every time the characters would leave the set the projector would turn on and you'd see the scene they were supposed to be going to. Really creative I thought.

FRIDAY
The Puppetoon Movie Directed by Arnold Leibovit (1987)
This is a collection of shorts by GEORGE PAL. He is a Hungarian animator, stop-motion and puppet work. Very talented, he created the 1st ever stop-motion studio in Hollywood making sooo many Animations possible.

SATURDAY
Head Directed by Bob Rafelson (1968)
Watched The Monkees movie finally with my friend Ben. I'm such a bad Monkees fan, I had seen clips of this but finally watched the whole thing. This movie, well actually also The Monkees show is very experimental. There is some very cool editing, mod clothes, dance scenes, and Dave, Peter, Mike, and Micky's cuteness. I don't know what else this movie could need. Monkees are always very weird, include every type of genre, and the weirdest humor... I love them so much. This is my boyfriend Micky by the way..

SUNDAY
Today? No movie? I'm going to my friend Bryan's show, or Bry Bry who I haven't seen in 2 years! He gives me hugs and tells me i'm beautiful. I can't wait to see my hunny <33
So excited. So tonight his show can count as a movie.


And since this is my Animation blog I will be Netflixing more animations before I head off to CalArts. There are SO many movies I need to watch. With everything going on I feel so busy but I am ready for 48 hr film to start.

Oh I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about this.

Velvet Cave Crazy

I wanted to post up all my VCV dresses, to keep track of myself and also because they are just soo pretty.

So Velvet Cave Vintage is an ebay thrift store created by Imogen Shurey, who is modeling in the last 3 along with a few others. This has become the ONLY place I buy my dresses. I search around ebay but always think "What's the point. VCV will have new dresses up soon so I better save for THOSE."

These are all the ones I own! and I wish other shoppers did this because I want to know who are the other girls outbidding me! Really, I wonder..

She also used to slip in a mix cd with every purchase I have every single Volume and uses lime green and purple packaging! I really appreciate these small details and the dresses are always in MINT condition and ready to wear out of the package.
