Finished Mockingjay.

Depressing, but really, really good.

So many emotions right now.

I spy with my little eye..


Just saw the Magic Mike trailer. 

The fact that Alex Pettyfer, Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer, Channing Tatum star as strippers and are halfnaked throughout the movie, isn’t the reason I’m going to see the movie. Nah I’m not shallow like that.

The trailer touched me, in such a deep way. The raw deep emotions of those screaming women were so accurately portraited, I really can identify with them *cough*

Oh and Alex Pettyfer. Le sigh.


First thoughts on HBO’s new show ”Girls”

I kinda liked it, didn’t love it. But there were a few things that bothered me;

- The nasty gratuitous sex scene. Really HBO? Really? I get that it’s a standard nowadays; i.e. Game of Thrones (which I love, but sometimes has way to many grauitous ” soft porn ”) but at least those sex scenes are somewhat classy and dare I say, sometimes even hot? Maybe it was Lena Dunham’s idea of a ”realistic” fuckbuddies concept, I get that, but it’s too awkward to watch. Sometimes awkward funny sex scenes work (i.e.Bridesmaids) but in this setting it doesn’t. It’s neither funny nor interesting.

- Tries too hard to be ”different”. Maybe I’m wrong, but my gut is telling me that the show tries too hard. Minimal stuff happening, minimal dialog, it’s too minimal. Sometimes less is not more.

- The main character Hanna, isn’t really the ideal protagonist She’s not charming and hardly symphatizable. 

- All white girls cast. A little diversity wouldn’t hurt this show. 

All rants aside, I’ll be watching the 2nd episode. I’m a hypocrite.


Palm trees. Everywhere. <3



Sofia Coppola, one of the best female directors of our time.


When I first read it, my initial thought was; why is this even considered a ”classic” ?

After re-reading it, I finally appreciate the beauty of this book. Heck, sometimes I feel like a female Sal Paradise; melancholic, in search of something better, conflicted. Though I haven’t met a Dean Moriarty (yet).
