Donna Tartt: The Secret History

I’d make this into a movie.

You know that guy on CSI: NY, the one who is blond and wears glasses? Kinda scrawny, a little nerdy? He’d be Bunny.

Camilla could be played by Reese Witherspoon. She’d be perfect, and I’d love to see her in a more serious, meatier role. No doubt Gwyneth Paltrow could pull Camilla off too, but I don’t like her very much.

Delicious James Franco could be Francis.

Who would be beautiful, stoic, almost unbreakable Henry? Christian freaking Bale.

I don’t know who could be Charles, though.

Richard would be Ethan Hawke channeling his Dead Poets Society days, or Matt Damon circa The Talented Mr. Ripley.

I realize these people are 10 and more years older than the characters, but then again they are not your average, normal 20-something-year olds. They are twisted and dark and young actors, the ones gracing The Gossip Girl or 90210? They don’t have an ounce of strength to pull it off.

Alias

last night we were watching MTV video music awards but missed britney's performance, jennifer garner and i can't remember who now were on stage to announce some awards, and you said "it is she from alias, isn't she?"

seriously mom, well done.

overheard:

"have you been watching america's next top model?"

"ala, no! so anyone interesting?"

"there's this girl named natasha, and she's originally from russia and just came to america, and her husband's like 40 year old. a russian mail order bride!"

"wow."

"a mail order bride! hahahaaaa!"

"okay, so, they like, ... come in really big boxes?"

i just thought of the most awesomest response to the rock's "can you smell what the rock is cooking?" : "i smell fear."
i am a freaking genius.

doors opened upwards

dudette 1: hey y'all remember this cartoon mask? about cars? around the same time as transformers?

dudette 2: no...

dude: was it the one where there was a group singing and the singer can change into another person?

dudette 1: ... that was jem and the holograms! DUDE. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WATCHED JEM. AND THE HOLOGRAMS. AND YOU DON'T REMEMBER MASK IN WHICH THERE WAS A CAR WITH THE DOORS OPENED UPWARDS. AND IT CAN FLY.

dude: only because my sister watched it, ok?

dudette 1: right. because she was 2 AT THAT TIME.

major killjoy

listen, world, i know it would seem like i am a closet grey anatomy's fan, what with the knowledge and actually being able to follow almost any conversations concerning GA, but seriously, NO. i mean, this morning my friend was like "and yesterday izzie became a millionaire" and i even though i kinda knew what already happened, i let her tell me because not letting people tell their story is a major killjoy. and how i know what has transpired so far is because i wikipedia-ed almost everyhing on GA the other day. heee. i still can't get over the fact that denny duquette is dean winchester's father. in my head there's always the joke, "well, izzie, you could always date his sons." i know: VILE. i'm sorry! anyway, just to prove a point, so we were still talking about GA and how ANNOYING the PROTAGANIST IS and WILL FOREVER BE UNTIL THE END OF TIME and then my friend said, "the most interesting people are christine and preston burke, anyway," and i sat there grinning and the thoughts that were in my head were such: 'Christina... Aguilera? Isn't her husband's name Jordan... something? Preston. Heee. Britney's son. I heard Christina in concert is AWESOME. i love her new videoclip, it's just so convincingly 50s'. and 10 seconds later my thoughts came crashing down back to earth and it went: 'OHHHHHH. Christina YANG i.e sandra oh and the boyfriend. right.'.

i just don't do GA. and wikipedia is my best friend. ever.

why i am.

"i mean, i don't get it: he's not a loser or a nerd, he can hold a conversation, and not bad-looking either."
"i know!"
"oh hey- it's like describing me. heee."
"except, take out not bad-looking."
"i know, right?"
"and add 'psychotic'."
"okay, i DEFINITELY know why I AM."
"heeee."
