For the past few days, I have had some fucked up dreams. They are always vivid and sometimes lucid, although with the lucid dreams I never wanted to revive myself, which is even more confusing since my dreams really aren't entailing a continuation, but instead terminated once a person realizes they are dreaming.
Anyways, my dreams weren't anything like this scene, but after waking up today I kept playing a remarkable scene from Raising Arizona in my head over and over. The Coen Brothers knew what they were doing from the git-go.

I think I have started having bad dreams because a good friend of mine is having just as, if not not more, brutal dreams as me. They're interesting- would make good films. Also, news on crime and death in the media sometimes tampers on a person's dreams.

I think about this all the time

This freakin' dress. It's been a few years since Atonement came out, but it has not left my dressing values. I liked the film too, usually I hate romance films that are sad (that includes you, The Notebook). I'm not going to give away the ending (they die) if you have not seen it, but last semester I had my roommates watch it and they cried themselves to sleep and then were depressed for about a week. Whoops. Anyways, WWII movies are clever.

Twisted mind at the d'Orsay

2010-02-19T08:11:00.000-08:00

I looked through my photos dated back a couple a weeks ago when I had a random tourscursion at the d'Orsay. I even took pictures! I never take pictures of art because I won't look at them ever again, unless I have to write a report on it or prove to some idiot that I have seen it.

I took pictures, though, because some of these paintings were like sitcoms off of FX or NBC! I was alone, but I was totally laughing my ass off. Here's why:

Henri Regnault- "Execution sans jugement sous les rois maures de Grenade". Okay, yeah, this painting is kind of mental, but the expression on the killer's face has a slight "Whoopsies" expression. Also, it is really ghetto. He looks like Kobe Bryant in a Snoop Dogg Music video or something.

Lucien Levy-Dhurmer (I like this artist quite a bit)....need I say more about this picture? Soooomeooone's favorite country is down-under. I nearly fainted from holding in my laughter.

This is not as funny, but I think I'm in a giggly mood and I think this could make it into an episode of General Hospital. The dude got owned and I learned in an art class that a woman holding a snake that is biting her breast means she's fertile... so that basically means he got her pregnant by just looking at her. Soap-opera status, right right? I forgot to look for the name of the artist... oops.

I just wanted to point out how well Jacques- Emile Blanche paints details of hair and skin, but cannot paint a shape of a hand if his life depended on it. I love idiosyncrasies.

DISCLAIMER I respect all these artists and their great contributions to art and history. They are all very talented, obviously if they're in the d'Orsay, and sorry if I have offended anyone. I just have an immature sense of humor. Merci.

Ghostly?

2009 Oliver Theyskens featuring Lily Donaldson. It looks like my mum's mum's wedding dress from her first/second marriage (out of 5). Her ceremony was in Paris, but then Nazi's invaded and she escaped on a motorcycle with some other dude that she would end up marrying, too. R.I.P. beautiful mind. She also was a model in Paris for designers like Balenciaga and Rochas (the originals) and started the whole trend of dragging a fur coat on the runway, though that got her in a bitchload of trouble. I mention her modeling because Theyskens also designed for house of Rochas, remember??

The Night of Pan

2010-02-18T13:34:00.000-08:00

"The Night of Pan is the mystical state which is experienced during the crossing of the Abyss in the Crowlean system of magick." -Brian Butler

It was made in only 2 days in L.A. and inspired from Grandmother stories involving Paradise Lost. It is a bit of deja vu for me since I have written a story similar to this, but all the more encouraging for me to see this movie immediately. Vincent Gallo is in the cast... I love him, he is terrifying and super strange.

I can always be found

Bummer mood. I'm taking it out on Hunters of Zanzibar.

I think my computer is about to blowout and my hard drive is not working! Pretty precarious, but not knowing what is going to happen is always good,yeah? I almost went on hiatus on this blog, but after 3 hours of real sleep I have edited the post to status quo. Sorry for the confusion and remember if I don't see you later- "Good afternoon, good evening, and good night!" (Truman Show)

Polaroid scarfs, because hipsters couldn't afford the film anymore... I do love them (the scarves) though!
