Summer watchlist:The Departed (Infernal Affairs rip-off, but whatever), The Town (soundtrack is one of my favorites ever), The Fugitive (Ford in all of his glory), Inside Man (honestly, really funny), Office Space (iconic in every way), Argo (the best movie to watch when flying home to the US from some other country)

Hello, blog, old friend (a few lines on being a Berkeley English major)
*I like the first Jason Bourne movie, Pearl Jam, weddings, Georgia O'Keeffe's flowers, Joan Didion's essays, Munch's woodcuts, Magritte's weird neighborhoods, and Cezanne's "unfinished" landscapes. I drink mostly hot water, write long letters to my friends, do my best work very late at night, and am almost always cold. I strongly dislike coffee, slow drivers, sycophants, and spiders.
