I know everyone knows who she is now because she was on Perez, but I think I would like to watch Katy Perry make out with Zooey Deschanel pretty much right now.
Plus! Katy! Fame to the name! To those not in the know: Before the age of 12, my name was Katy. With a Y. Deal!
So that is the mildly (and I do mean mildly) entertaining Lumiere film I had to do for school. The only requirements were that it be 48 seconds long and that the camera didn't move. Both of those things are true. It's otherwise awful! I'm very sick. I might redo it by Tuesday but who knows!
I also wrote a script that is kinda cute and worked on presents because it's apparently EVERYBODY's birthday right now.
I really like this week's a softer world. I haven't been very bothered one way or the other about them lately, but I really, really like this one.
I also wish they would reprint this Threadless shirt:
And here are some things that people in my film class said today:
D: "Her purpose is just to be blonde."
R: "Key grip? Best boy? What are those things?" L: "Those are the jobs you get if you go to the New York Film Academy." M: "Once you go key grip, you never go back."
D: "Realistically, it's false."
(All the ones below were about the hypothetical film title "Thirsty Babies," for which we had to come up with a pitch.)
J: "The babies, they savagely attack women and ruin their lives, basically." M: "Do they go for just the mammaries or the whole breast?" J: "Nah, just straight mammaries."
J: "There wouldn't be much dialogue. It'd just be like 'waaaah.' And screams."
Yesterday, Vincenzo and I played house as part of an entirely domestic day. We did laundry! Got groceries! Went to the bank! Cleaned! It was a fully successful day. We were going to go to 300 but that didn't happen, so I'm hoping we'll go tonight. I like to pretend sometimes that I don't live by myself. Helen doesn't count!
Also, I am back from Toronto, which was only a mildly successful trip, despite the shopping! Oh, the shopping. Well, I'm back here now and back to work on Wednesday night so come visit me and buy my candy. It's delicious.
I really want to buy a Mac. I have enough money to do so now, but I think I'll wait until a bit into summer, when I have enough money FOR SURE.
Hey remember the time when I found a human tooth down on Delancey? Hey remember that time we decided to kiss anywhere except the mouth? Hey remember that time when my favorite colors were pink and green? Hey remember that month when I only ate boxes of tangerines? So cheap and juicy! Tangerines.
Hey remember that time when I would only read Shakespeare? Hey remember that other time when I would only read the backs of cereal boxes? Hey remember that time I tried to save a pigeon with a broken wing? A street cat got him by morning and I had to bury pieces of his body in my building’s playground... I thought I was going to be sick.

I love Regina Spektor. I listened to her album yesterday on the GO! train to Union Station and I felt very urban.
Every time I go to Toronto I get so excited and then as soon as I'm here, I wish I was back in Halifax. That's my city. I don't want to live anywhere else.
Today, I am going to go to downtown Toronto with no plans, no map and no cell phone. So if you are some crazy stalker murderer type, please leave me alone! I am on an ADVENTURE. It is St. Patrick's Day and I have two rolls of film!
If any of you have downtown Toronto recommendations (camera shops, comic book shops, libraries, whatever) let me know! I have a limited knowledge of Toronto (I get Spadina, Dundas, Young, Queen, etc).
I'm in London, Ontario at the moment, waiting for my brother and his wife (+ tiny baby) to come to the hotel so that we can all go to dinner. My dad has decided to go down and have a beer. My dad is going through pot withdrawal and acting like a complete jackass. I'm really excited to go to my brother's in Toronto.
I've been doing lots of shopping, though! I've been spending too much but all my relatives keep giving me money. I have to start saving some, though, so that I can use it towards rent. Hoo-hah!
I miss Vincenzo terribly, aided none by his absence from electronic communication. Oh well. I think everything will get better once I get to my brother's. I keep saying that, don't I? BROTHER!
My grandparents are old and my aunt is weird and apparently, my cousin Amanda is a lesbian. It's been an interesting trip, to say the least. I'll have many pictures.
I am writing letters these days. Do you want a letter? I like writing them and I make them all pretty and stuff. I also include things like bad photographs and Starburst wrappers.
I woke up in a terrible mood today because my whole night was filled with terrible dreams. Not dreams of axe murderers or falling or whatever, but vaguely plausible things that could happen or have happened to Kate. It was super crappy. I really hate waking up in a bad mood because you have to work so hard to get to a good mood, since you're starting from scratch.
If you like Beatles music and do not think of Love as having been a travesty, I would highly advise you to watch this trailer:
Across The Universe It looks absolutely amazing to me, but y'know, I'm really into musicals. Anyway. I'm really excited. It comes out the day before my birthday. Hooplah!
ALSO.
Dartmouth High School won first place at the Improv Regionals last night. That's right. They're going to nationals. I couldn't be more proud.
I know what you're thinking - poetry on a livejournal! Oh god, no! But it's not like that. It's RHYMING poetry. The kind that actually takes a small amount of skill. The first one is called... Um, The Girl From Duluth (Doo-looth).
The girl from Duluth was exhaustingly vain She thought herself royal and fair Each day she awoke and invariably spoke “How lovely and soft is my hair!
How radiant must all the boys think I am! How must they desire my hand! The men of Duluth, yes, they all know the truth – But beauty, they don’t understand.”
Believing princesses deserve more than fools She locked herself up, far away The ceilings were tall; mirrors coating each wall Allowed her to gaze, night and day.
Each year that passed, she became less concerned With those she’d abandoned outside The girl from Duluth lost control of her youth, And without occasion, she died.
Also: I learned years ago but was reminded recently that Charles Addams (the creator of the Addams Family) died on the same day that I was born. This alone is enough to make me hope for the possibility of reincarnation. My parents bought the entire series of The Addams Family (from the sixties, with John Astin) and tonight I'm watching the film (with Raul Julia and the incomparable Anjelica Huston). Gomez Addams is the ultimate model for a man, I think.
Crazy guys are the best. I'm going to take up saying Cara mia.
Vincenzo Ravina is a writer, journalist and sometimes (but infrequently) a magician. He is eighteen years old and lives in Northern North America. He is a Rogers Video employee and goes to Kings University. Free rentals are the perk of his job.
Vincenzo Ravina likes pneumatic tubes and Victorian manors. He likes finding objects of interest - such as shopping lists or old photographs - to give to his significant female companion, Katrina Jade Leth. He likes grammar, and his two favourite punctuation marks are the semicolon and the tilde, respectively. He is very good at spelling but does not proofread his essays. He likes to write short stories and novellas. His favourite writer is Chuck Palahniuk.
Vincenzo Ravina has very long fingers that look like spiders and he makes interesting hand gestures when excited. He goes to movies for the directors, rather than the stars, and particularly likes Michel Gondry and Wes Anderson, but has no appreciation for Steve Zissou. He always spells out the word "etcetera" instead of "etc.". He likes Nineteen Eighty-Four and doesn't have a sweet tooth. His father is Italian and his mother is Peruvian. He has published three magic booklets and once paid for a trip to Italy from their profits. He does not like coffee but he does not mind cappucino.
Vincenzo Ravina wears collared shirts and regrets that he no longer sports a tie every day, as he used to. He prefers Superman to Batman and has very little respect for Tim Burton. He thinks Angelina Jolie is unattractive but knows the real name of the Tic Tac Girl. He writes down everything interesting that people around him say because, despite being shy, he loves people and is fascinated by the way they think and interact. He is always collecting material. He writes down a lot of what Katrina says and believes her to be non-cliché. Sometimes he smiles at her for no reason other than that he is happy that she exists, and she feels the same.
Katrina Jade Leth is very much in love with Vincenzo Amadio Ravina, to the point of speaking in the third person, present tense.
