WTF Moment of the Day

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhall. What the F. Seriously. She's 19. He's 29 (almost 30 -- we share the same birthday. Sigh. I digress...). We're talking about a girl who just recently dated a Jonas Brother and Taylor Lautner, 17, of Twilight fame. Yuck-o. And while Taylor Swift talks about the maturity of her songs, she writes about every guy who's done her wrong. Yeah, that's SO mature. You're 19 - you're not going to find true love yet. Duh. To sum it up, Jake has gone way down in my book. As Jay-Z would say, "On to the next one." And the next one would be Michael Pitt, who I've loved since his debut in "Dawson's Creek" and more recently "Funny Games" and super recent, as in current, "Boardwalk Empire." Yum.

Speaking of Vomiting...Do we really need to entertain the idea of President Palin? New York Magazine... I nearly threw up with your latest cover. Blaaah. On to the next one.,,

The Parents: An Update

Can I just say that my dad is the best dad on the planet. Yesterday was an intense day and as a result, I had an oversight. It was a small oversight, but one nonetheless. So of course, I have to tell someone about it (via gchat).

dharma1953: do not get cranked up on this

me: im not <--(i was tho)

dharma1953: good

me: i just hate not doing things well

dharma1953: in a chaotic situation those things happen

your skills are still exceptional; one small mistake doesnt change that

if it really was a mistake

Positive reenforcement and grounding - just what I needed to plow through. And that's exactly what I did.

In other news, my mom has finally figured out how to text. At first, I didn't think anything of it when I say a text from "Parents Cell" and it read "I'm home now." But then I realized it was a full sentence -- not an automatic text like "PLEASE CALL." The following night I got another text -- "Hi x x x." And so, there it is. My mom has entered the age of technology. Of course, I had to quickly remind her that her plan does not include texting (yet).

Rules of Three

They always taught us in film school to remember the rule of three. If you are trying to show a routine of a character, have three different shots. If you are establishing a scene, use three broll shots before the scene starts. You'll notice this more and more as you watch shows -- the rule of three. I apply the rule of three to most cases in life, just not film. Like when a celebrity dies, two more will die right after because it's the rules of three.

I want to wrap up this post, but I've only talked about two subjects. It just seems weird. Now this can be considered my third topic: rules of three. The post is now complete.
