little beast
I want to crawl into the pages of Crush, gouge out my insides, offer them, sacrosanct, vain. I love Siken’s mind so much. Such a ’90s film noir, an Arquette on a dark road by the woods or something, her blonde hair lit by headlights, deers still. I don’t know.

reasons why i love.
I bought this today:
It’s lovely. It reminded me of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. It reminded work friend of Last Crusade, and an impromptu reenactment ensued. - THIS IS THE CROSS OF CORONADO! THIS BELONGS IN A MUSEUM - SO DO YOU! THROW HIM OVER THE SIDE. *noise of ship exploding*

theshotgunmessages-deactivated2 asked: thanks for the follow back :) I always love your posts! Are you from Sydney by any chance?
crazyface.
i suppose one way to look at it is that this is the closest to faith that i’ve ever been, a blind trust in something that is anti-intuitive. anti-intuitive to the point of blackout. i cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, but i am trusting that it is there, blind, sick with fear and feeling my way along moss-dank walls, but trusting that there is daylight where it leads.
hahhh.

WatchSpike Jonze: Mourir Auprès de Toi
“Designer Olympia Le-Tan’s embroidered clutch-bags spring to life in director Spike Jonze’s tragicomic stop-motion animation Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side). On a shelf in famed Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company, the star-crossed love story of a klutzy skeleton and his flame-haired amour plays out amidst Le-Tan’s illustrations of...

alabama
Alabama is such an uncomfortable word for Australians to say. We would naturally pronounce it Alla-barma, but that obviously sounds ridiculous, so we have to awkwardly adopt something between the American and Australian pronunciation, and it comes out as the infuriatingly uninstinctual Alabamma.

AHHHH!
Just had a random memory of a bunch of songs that remind me of 1996. Year eight was the daggiest fucking time. Oh god just you wait.

save me jeebus.
I don’t feel like there’s a middle-ground argument for religious fence sitters. I guess technically it’s agnosticism, but that sort of implies hedging bets, or wait-and-see, and that doesn’t quite explain what I feel. I don’t believe in God, as a default setting. I don’t believe in God but not to the point where I would say I’m an atheist. I always felt...

wibbly-wobbly timey-whimey.
You know what? This is definitely a post that requires a cut, if only for the sheer amount of first world whinging involved, and generous use of the word “fandom”. I’ve thought a lot lately about trying to balance my inherent nerdiness - and i do not mean that in a hipster way, I’m talking some grim-ass man hours logged within the walls of various fandoms - and being a...

so i may have mentioned supernatural.
…and my weird love of it. It is weird. I understand that. And I may have, in the past, discussed how much I love critical analysis; really good, emotional deconstruction of popular culture. Well, my friends, imagine my delight when some clever boffin combined these two things and wrote this awesome piece about why the Sam and Dean show was important to start with, and how it has now failed...

i'll take the tiniest violin you stock.
I think I’m finally making the connection between how much one tweets and how successfully Cosmo would rate one’s social life. I realised this after tweeting about Ten Inch Hero. This is a ridiculous movie that I was only watching because Jensen Ackles was in it. When it reached the point where the homeless man turned out to have been Clea Duvall’s unrequited love all along, and...

Marriage Plot - Quote the Second
“In Madeleine’s face was a stupidity Mitchell had never seen before. It was the stupidity of all normal people. It was the stupidity of the fortunate and beautiful, of everybody who got what they wanted in life and so remained unremarkable.”

the marriage plot - jeffrey eugenides
“That left a large contingent of people majoring in English by default. Because they weren’t left-brained enough for science, because history was too dry, philosophy to difficult, geology too petroleum-oriented, and math too mathematical - because they weren’t musical, artistic, financially motivated, or really all that smart, these people were pursuing university degrees doing...
