I love it when Chloe and Smash skype Dean Hall and we compare United States vs. London beards.
I love it too! And miss you guys bunches and bunches.
It's officially Oscar season!! →
I am rather surprised at all the nominations for Winter’s Bone. And where the hell is Mila Kunis for Best Supporting Actress? She had TONS of buzz, and well deserved. And why is Mark Ruffalo suddenly a nominee for The Kids Are All Right? There has been no buzz, despite his good performance. I am surprised by the lack of Blue Valentine noms, even if some predicted that if anyone would get one...
I am determined to discover new bands while I am here, even if VIVA UK constantly plays everything I would hear on Top 40 in the US. Even when I’ve gone out to dinner, the places play obscure tunes by famous American bands. There’s a lot more overlap in culture than I expected, particularly when it comes to fashion.

Tangled was probably the most adorable, feel-good film I have seen since Toy Story 3. And it was a thousand times better than The Princess and the Frog. I liked the story, the animation, and the songs. My one complaint, why was Zachary Levi delegated to sing a part of one song?! I mean come on, the man’s a really impressive singer [if you don’t believe me look up his duet with...
Is it Saturday yet??
I am about to state the obvious: packing for a four-month trip is near impossible. That is three seasons (winter, spring, and summer) of work, class, travel, and countless parties to plan outfits for. I have packed the basics: black pencil skirts, sweaters, jeans, lightweight dresses. Do I really need my cute see-through UO shirts? Well, no. But I don’t really need my ridiculous leopard...
