"hussy"

movies are the new black, but they are not the new snow. snow is still the new snow last time i checked. last night was tarnation, which enlivened my innate fright of shock therapy. it's a documentary compiled by jonathan caouette [so many vowels] who began filming his life beginning around age eleven. his family is grade A fucked-up, and the insanity takes no pain to spare his own life, especially as a teenager. one part disturbing, one part jaw-dropping-disturbing, a quarter-part heartwarming, one part humbling.

also watched être et avoir, a french film documenting and one-room school in the farmlands of france. i thought it was good, though not as good as it was touted to be. the patience, kindness and tolerance exacted by the teacher must be unmatched in another human.

i really needed a band like this right now. ume. houston, blonde redhead meets gritty chaos. jam wake. come shake that whole holed-up-listening-to-iron-and-wine-on-repeat thing with me. let's wake the fuck up.

today was inn season lunch, shopping with my sister. tonight is drinking and invariably dancing at an establishment so ridiculous it shall remain unnamed.
