Crash Talk

One of the best (and humorous) argument scenes I have ever watched on a TV show. Season 4 of The L Word is fucking hilarious. Mad props to Leisha Hailey and Mia Kirschner for ad libbing this scene. Fucking amazing.

Read it.

Even if you aren’t familiar with the Rwandan genocide or the events occurring in Africa, you should read this book. The themes don’t just have to do with the crisis. Major themes also discuss how one’s own guilt, regrets, and personal mindstate can be one’s biggest enemy and the failure of large international bodies and humanity.

It’s definitely sad and a lot of scenes are very graphic. But there are also very poignant quotes and thoughts and passages that really made me smile.

Definitely recommended.

So, I really should be studying, but I’ve decided that the only way to truly focus on a boring, lame textbook is to write it all out and get it off my chest.

It all started last night, when, walking to one of my classes, I noticed a Vista Cruiser and a Boston police car parked outside Buchanan Tower. Vista Cruiser, in my Fringe-manipulated mind automatically means Bishop-Mobile and I instinctively looked around to see if John Noble or Joshua Jackson were around. No such luck. I did, however, come across some pretty friendly crew members who told me that they were filming a stunt scene the next day and that Joshua, John, Anna Torv and Lance Reddick were supposed to be around. Sweet, I say. I’ll come back to campus on Friday when, by the way, I don’t have class, just to see if there’s a chance I can meet any of them.

I even stayed later than usual just to see if they would, by any chance, be driving back to their trailers at 7. But, alas, they weren’t back and I had to head home for dinner with my parents. I told myself that I would meet at least one of them tomorrow anyway…

Been surfing these two sites for Dark Knight Rises all day today and I can’t seem to get enough of what they’re writing about. /Film also has an app that I, just hours ago, downloaded and have been constantly checking out.

Keep your movie news current!

icecreamisbetterwithafork.tumblr.com: Tristan Prettyman’s blog.

Who is Tristan Prettyman?! Well, she’s a recording artist who makes some pretty beautiful, chill music. Check her out. Her blog is fascinating and she posts a lot of photos, quotes, and designs that are really inspirational so I dig what she has to say.

I’ve been pretty fortunate, lately, to have been watching amazing and in-depth movies such as Black Swan and Never Let Me Go. This film is absolutely brilliant. I’m sure it’s not as thematic as the book is, but if you feel like a thinker or a movie that will make you feel and empathize with the characters, than this is definitely one to see.

Just got a Tumblr account. Check it out: cass-a-roll.tumblr.com.

Looks a little bit different than this blog, but it’ll be updated more often, probably with more TV/Movie/Entertainment stuff. Pay it a visit!

So I just finished watching the Series 2 Christmas special and it was a pretty awesome episode. I am absolutely obsessed with this show. I like everything about it from the characters to the writing to the special effects they use for various powers (The slight effects for Nikki’s teleporting power are pretty cool). The fact that each series is only 6 episodes does suck a lot, but more things happen in those 6 episodes than most 22-episode shows.

Although I’ve been consistently blogging about TV shows, books and movies, there are a few things that I’ve fallen in love with that I haven’t been able to necessarily write about as of yet.

1. Provence
Provence is a restaurant I took my parents to for their wedding anniversary and New Year’s Eve dinner. It’s probably the best restaurant I’ve ever eaten at in Vancouver. At Provence you’ll find high quality food, service AND beverages for a price that is most definitely worth it. While our bill came to $200, we had ordered wine, appies, entrees AND a dessert, all of which were delicious, so we were definitely happy to pay. In fact, my parents loved it so much that they’re planning on going back for brunch. (I’m obvz tagging along).

highlight: My entree: Crab and lobster risotto. Best dish I have ever had at a restaurant!

2. Vancouver Canucks
My hometown team is rocking the NHL right now. Check out their stats and I’m sure you’ll find out exactly why I’m digging the ‘Nucks. With the way this team is looking, I will not be surprised if we end up with the Stanley Cup this year! Go Canucks Go!

3. iPhone 4
Been almost a month since I’ve fallen in love with my phone and I’m seriously still in the honeymoon phase. I’m actually starting to wish it was a man because if it WERE, it’d be that guy that’s really good looking and dependable and is perfectly suited to your needs and wants. It’s perfect and the interface is sleek and easy to use. Damn you, Apple, for making me join your cult!

Back to school and already slackin like crazy. My current drug of choice? Misfits! The British show Twitter peeps have been raving about AND my two favorite bloggers have recommendd to their readers. (Those bloggers btw are Trent from Pink is the New Blog and Lainey from Lainey Gossip. You should definitely check em out.)

Misfits is a show about British young delinquents who engage in superhero activities and sexy time which is most definitely the perfect escape from school, textbooks and notes! If you choose to check in to Misfits, it’s everywhere: YouTube, Vuze, surfthechannel.com, so there are plenty of opportunities to watch. You won’t regret it!
