Today.

   I am still trying to find my niche in the blog world.  I love fashion, celebrities, arts, video games, movies, and so on.  I am going to start posting an outfit of the day here pretty soon.  I have a lot of Jeffrey Campbell's that need to get on the Internet Stream.

   I am currently watching reality television; which I am absolutely addicted to (don't judge me) thinking about what I want to do.  I am currently working towards a degree in Psychology, with the hopes of becoming an art therapist.  As I sit here today though I feel I am still going to want more.

   I feel that it's not that I am going to want more, it's just that helping people is what I want to do, I still want to be a great thinker though.  Does that make sense?

  I read Philosophy books for fun, for crying out loud.  I always wanted to be a Philosopher, but what is there really?  A professor?  I don't think that's my gig (if anyone has any ideas let this bish know!).  I was thinking today about Anthropology and Theology.  The latter I think would be more interesting, in all three fields I feel like I could just write theories and perspectives all day; which could be fun. Not to say I couldn't be the next Friedrich Nietzsche, but I don't think I can.  As I'm writing this I feel that a professor or teacher is sounding more tempting, but it would have to be one of the really old historical schools, I could be like John Keating in Dead Poet's Society, if I could just get over my crippling stage fright.

Crap, Can We Talk About....

     The Killing!?!?!  I mean come on, after an astounding first season and a pretty great second.  (I'm a little biased).  I know a lot of sites and bloggers have complained about the run around and the slowness of the show.  I think it adds to it's charm. 

    I couldn't wait to find out who killed Rosie Larson.  I have to admit, I was stumped.  I was going through every possible explanation in my head...

    It couldn't be the Natives, they rolled around that story for too long. 

   What if it was Stan, why would he do it though? Wouldn't he kill Midge instead?

   Jamie I thought for sure did it in the last couple of episodes, he did always strike me as a little weirdo, (thanks for shooting him Holder). 

   I also went through Balko, Darren, The Polish Mob Guy, the Mayor, back to the Teacher, yada yada yada. 

  (side note real quick:  I also like how the show develops the characters, sometimes you couldn't tell if you liked them, or disliked them...but they developed them so well...)

  So then I started to think crazy, plausible but crazy. 

  Maybe it was Holder...nah.  (he became such a bad ass in the last few episodes, I have a habit at looking at spoilers, and since his character died in the Danish version I thought for sure he was a goner after getting his ass beat. Joel Kinnaman really puts his all into that role, and it really shows.)

  Maybe it was Jack.  It would explain how the picture got on the refrigerator, no way.

  Then my most elaborate explanation yet...Sarah Linden.

  She's crazy, bi-polar and killed Rosie Larsen without knowing/remembering it.  (not too far off.)  Like some sort of High Tension thing.

  Then finally I looked at the spoilers, but it didn't make the reveal any less shocking.  No one can believe how I can do that.  I mean it's the actors that make the work...not the writings about the work after.  I didn't read how they revealed it or what happened.  I went into the episode thinking that Teri maliciously killed Rosie.  I'm just too dang impatient.
  
  I started to think back at the character of Terry.  Then it sort of made sense.  She did take on Midge's role when she left, but was she overcompensating?  She was totally obsessed with Michael.  She almost always had that guilty look, but it just looked like she was grieving and exhausted from taking care of her sister's family.  Jamie Anne Allman did a fantastic job of turning into a schlup after Ames turned her down.  She really transformed over the seasons.  You could see the guilt wear on her.  I was relieved to find out that she did not know that it was Rosie in the trunk.  It still doesn't make it less twisted.

  Can we talk about how long I cried during and after Rosie's video played?

  The episode ended with Holder getting another call about a killing.  Joel Kinnaman has said he will shoot the third season himself if he had too.  Which would be interesting to watch!  I will tune in though. 

  I have even written a part for myself in the series.  (Forensic Psychologist/Partner). 

  The casting department did an exquisite job casting for this series.  And I'm interested to see if they pick up season three and what direction it goes in.  This series has definitely veered off from the original. 
  I think I will be based on Holder, but they will bring Sarah back after she goes to care for Jack a bit.  Darren as Mayor doing dirty deals, Gwen rejected.  The Larson's probably won't be in it, but who knows.  And a new partner. 

  But until then we will just have to wonder...(how cliche).
   

Monday, Monday

     Usually my Mondays consist of laying around thinking about doing things, but not actually doing them.  I seriously need to get my butt motivated.
     I have been trying to quit smoking and today is my first day not having one of those terrible things.  Although, when I am sitting here all day looking at pictures of Boyd Holbrook (can we just think about how hot he is by the way?) there comes a time when I just feel like I need one.  I have been feeling good about it, but I'm just now starting to get agitated.  When I'm agitated I just think about...

Boyd Holbrook *le sigh*

     I'm going to start bettering my life in a physical way though, I'll be 28 it's about time right?

     I don't know what I was talking about before, Real Housewives is on tonight, cha-ching!

     I have also decided that I am the lamest person in the world when it comes to celebrities.  I am a pop-culture fanatic, so that's fun.  I just Twitted Adam Lazzara with the hashtag cheezin'.  I mean it is a super sweet word but come on, I couldn't think of anything cooler?  I am pretty cheezed about seeing them at Warped Tour though.  I met a couple of other celebrities and I just turn into the biggest dork.  Let's just say it's good that Mr. Holbrook doesn't have a Twitter, I might have a restraining order right now (I kid, I kid)...kind of...Joel Kinnaman on the other hand has fell victim to my #starcreepin' tweets, let's just say I'm not very proud and hopefully he receives thousands upon thousands of Tweets so he probably didn't see them.  I do like the fact that he is dating Olivia Munn though.  Mr. Gordon-Levitt has replied to me though, (okay I'll stop getting all weird fan-girl now).

     One word I am trying to bring back is, mac.  I know it's so...mac, right?!  It's okay you can use it. 

     I have rediscovered Ben Kweller and Ben Lee today, it is fantastic.  When my best friend and I lived together we broke all of our cd's and glue them back together on the wall.  The end result was amazing but a lot of good cd's were harmed in the making of the sweet ass wall.  So most of the early to mid to late 90's and very early 2000's have been trapped in my subconscious just clawing to come out, and slowly but surely they end up on that dangfangled music player.  So yeah Ben Kweller and Ben Lee look it up.  I also suggest you look up Aleka's Attic, it was River Phoenix's band before he passed away.  It's very good early 90's gritty garage grunge with sweet melodies.  I haven't found a lot of bands now of days I like, mostly my new favorite bands are my old favorite bands.  YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO SUCRE though.  Stacy King, formerly Dupree of Eisley, is the singer.  Magnificent.

    Alright so this is my first blog.  I'm just learning.  So bear with me as I hope to get a lot better.

   Hopefully I can remember my password.

   Cheers. XO.
