Hello Salvation!

To make you feel better

Gill — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 07:38:33 +0000

Mood: optimistic Music: Some Girls (Rhythm Masters Mix) - Rachel Stevens Reading: The Edible WomanI’m using JournalPress to crosspost back to LJ again, so I hope it works! *crosses fingers* Thanks Janet! I know you’ve heard stories about people reconnecting on Facebook many times over. But my story is important to me. Aren’t they all? I think towards the end [...]

Emotional bubble has burst

Gill — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:31:45 +0000

Mood: awake Music: Swan Lake - John Hollingsworth & London Symphony Orchestra Reading: The Edible WomanI hate Ranty McRantFace blogs like my previous. I do feel better though. I love raging against the machine in my blogs. Because once it’s on paper (so to speak), it’s out of me. I don’t think blogging diminishes those feelings because they’re real and [...]

I go up, I come down and I’m emptier inside

Mood: frustrated Music: There's Gotta Be (More To Life) - Stacie Orrico Reading: Lysistrata, The Edible WomanHere I go again, with my funks. Blah blah blah. I fucking hate my life. Working FT is nice because it keeps my bank account in order. Finances are one less thing I have to worry about. But having the job takes away from [...]

Gill — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 05:04:21 +0000

Music: Wild Horses - Girls Aloud Reading: Stuff for schoolI’ve had a sharp, acute pain in my lower back for the past week or so. When I first noticed the pain, it was on the tail end of my 14 day straight work/school week, the one where I didn’t have any days off whatsoever. The one where I [...]

That dog is a monster

Gill — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:57:18 +0000

Mood: sleepy Music: Stars - Kylie Minogue Reading: Stuff for schoolMy sister’s dog Coco barks at everything. He’s a Min Pin and a handful and a half!

The tide is high but I’m holding on

Gill — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 07:36:37 +0000

Mood: indescribable Music: The Tide is High - Billie Piper Reading: Stuff for school, Game InformerI have a LOT to say so I think I’ll put everything behind a cut. Be prepared, this is sort of a cathartic entry. So much has happened in the last few days. Some good, some bad, all me. Sunday, I became very aware of [...]

And I’m so sick of love songs

Gill — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 05:23:14 +0000

Mood: sick Music: Sister Act 2 Reading: Stuff for schoolI’m not actually sick of love songs. But I am sick. I came home from work on Sunday night and they asked me to pick up milk and juice. Spent most of my last $100 on groceries. Yuk. I get paid this week though, thank god. I knew something was wrong [...]

Don’t walk away, in silence

Mood: awake Music: Atmopshere - Joy Division Reading: The Bloody Chamber, Epic of Gilgamesh, The Handmaid's Tale, World War ZFirst day of spring term! Excited for it. I’m glad that for 2 of my classes, I have the same teacher. Lots of reading but that’s to be expected when you’re an English major, you’re finished with the credits for your [...]

Gill — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 03:16:22 +0000

Mood: excited Music: That's the Way of the World - Earth, Wind & Fire Reading: World War ZStill rundown from this past week at work, so I took a quick nap to refresh myself. Just what I needed.

Mood: contemplative Music: Back to the Old House - The Smiths Reading: World War ZB9NJT9BY4TKH Right. So it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? lol.

I can’t wait to see [...]

The Almost Forgotten Medium of Book Reading

Gill — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 20:24:48 +0000

So, off and on for the past few months, I have noticed – through Twitter, Facebook & now semi-confirmed by Wired – that Apple might is planning on getting “in” on the notebook craze. From what I’ve read, they’re aiming for a tablet size, but who’s going to buy it for anything more than an [...]

Slanted Eyes, Slanted Heart: In Criticism of “The Karate Kid” Remake

Gill — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 11:21:33 +0000

With the forthcoming “remake” of an 80s film very near and dear to my heart and many people who grew up in that generation -”The Karate Kid” – there is a cultural misunderstanding that needs to be addressed. Not all Asians are the same. Chinese are not Japanese, Filipinos are not Taiwanese, and Vietnamese are [...]
