This is getting ridiculous. I mean, I love to read. That hasn't changed. And I've always been a tad over-zealous when choosing my reading material. It's like that book (naturally I would site a book here, right?)... what was the title? A children's book... I just saw it in Jen's…

Summertime at The Stanford
It's that time again to shed my shoes and lounge in the grass, languishing in the evening heat and loving Summer. It is a time of festival and freedom and fireworks and friendship. This weekend, the Livermore Rodeo is in town (indeed, the fastest rodeo on earth!). The Alameda County…
Homage to Hitchcock
It ranks as one of my favorite places in the world. Palo Alto's Stanford Theater has just unveiled its first program for 2008, and it's 10 weeks of Hitchcock ! One of the most recognized directors in the history of film making, Hitchcock set the gold standard for the industry, mastering…

Crocodile Love
For weeks during my junior year of high school, my friend Jennie and I would hang out during the final period of the day in an empty classroom and watch movies while waiting for her brother to drive us home. We'd laugh continuously at 'Liar, Liar' and daydream about Wesley…
Blue Crush
Adding to the list of my guilty pleasures (that I am apparently unafraid of sharing with anyone who reads my blog) is one of the worst movies ever made... Blue Crush . Starring the gorgeous Kate Bosworth, one blue eye and one brown eye twinkling, as the surfer girl of all…
