Mozart is attending my anniversary party. That automatically makes me pretty cool.I forgot to celebrate BISTF's first anniversary. I made an effort not to forget about it this year. I like being part of the precious film blog universe. It's fun and there are tons of awesome opinions floating around from the most dedicated, insightful people I will ever know.
March 22. Nice date to remember.
I had a particularly good day today, despite a two-hour blackout in the evening. Then again, I was accepted to UCSB earlier today, so that definitely lightened up my mood.
Marcy...
ReplyDeleteCP's second anniversary was actually March 3.
Not only that, but you became a regular commenter over at my little corner of paradise within approximately a month.
So you and I not only had the same ideas right around the same time. But it does seem that our respective lives and mutual interests came to a rather fascinating correlation.
Must be the harmonic convergence. Or something.
I'm exceptionally jazzed that BISTF is part of the blogosphere. There aren't a lot of women doing what we do. I'm always extremely appreciative of female support. There's not a lot of it out there.
So the fact that you visit my place regularly (and always have such refreshing intelligent points of views to share) is something that I am incredibly grateful for.
Congrats on being accepted at UCSB!!!
California has been calling my name (well...screaming it actually) for a while now. I adore my home town. But I have to get down there and make my mark.
School in Cali? Sounds like heaven. Whatever you ultimately choose to do in life, you will be a great success. I know this beyond a shadow of a doubt.
So here's to the second anniversary of BISTF, one of the best blogs ever born. Not to mention the host.
She's pretty damned awesome too.
Congrats Marcy. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary!! :D here's to another (insert large number) years!! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Miranda, Andrew, and Anahita for your kind words. I have the deepest respect for each and every one of you. I love the film blogging universe because without the incredible insight I see daily, there will be no motivation for me to blog. So it's all thanks to people who blog and people who stop by and read my blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd Miranda, I have a feeling that you'll love California. I hope you make your mark here soon. My state will be happy to have you around.
marcy,
ReplyDeletemay i add my congratulations, belatedly, on your ucsb acceptance. is this your first choice? - it would be hard to beat the location, that's for sure.
it will be tough to keep bistf going, but i hope you will try. it should be a priority right after studies and boys, and certainly above eating and sleeping.
i've seen a couple of decent movies on tv , a recent clint eastwood in which he is an old curmudgeon who comes to befriend a laotian family next door - and dies magnificently in the end. can't remember the name, though.
also 'powder blue' with forrest whittacre(?) - an exploration of loneliness and the power of love.
Thank you, Richard!
ReplyDeleteUCSB has a beautiful location. It's right next to the beach. Most of the dorms have a view of the beach. But it has the notorious reputation for being a party school, which is why, despite its great academics, it still isn't considered a completely well-respected school by all.
Play hard and study hard, as they say. I have a lot of respect for UCSB.
But I'm on the UC Davis waitlist, so I'm seeing how that turns out. Davis has always been my first choice. I love how it's a college town environment and it's located in northern California. And honestly, there are a lot of perks of southern California (the glorious weather, being one), but I just prefer northern California.
Ha ha. I try. I have been trying to rake some ideas to blog recently. I've been looking to my favorite blogs for inspiration and...I've got a couple of ideas.
Gran Torino? My dad saw that and he liked it. I haven't seen that Forest Whitaker movie, though it sounds interesting!
yes, 'gran torino'... and thank you for spelling forest whitaker! i knew i had it wrong. i'm seeing old movies on cable, and, of course, keeping up with 'lost'.
ReplyDeletei hate to ask such a lame question, but where is ucdavis? i thought it was near l.a., like in the desert. is there a town named davis, and if so, where is it?
eastwood is very good at the decrepid yet still virile old man role, and whitaker is superb as a pathetic down-and-outer that you just want to hug and make happy if that is your thing.
There is a town named Davis and I believe it's a few miles away from Sacramento. It's primarily a college town, which is what I love about it.
ReplyDeletemarcy,
ReplyDeleteyeah, it is on the map, and in or near the delta area west of sacramento. i hope you make it, even though ucsb has got to be a lot prettier, and some partying is good for you!
btw, there is a special on water in the most recent national geographic. california is a 'poster child' for water troubles, and ucdavis is a center for water problem research. reading all this will make you want to move to mars.
