It's primarily a college town, which is what I love about it.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-44831285973754645942010-04-09T20:18:45.828-07:002010-04-09T20:18:45.828-07:00yes, 'gran torino'... and thank you for sp...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'.<br />i 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? <br />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.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458394201781611506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-15480776849167877732010-04-08T18:21:23.908-07:002010-04-08T18:21:23.908-07:00Thank you, Richard!
UCSB has a beautiful location...Thank you, Richard!<br /><br />UCSB has a <i>beautiful</i> 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.<br /><br />Play hard and study hard, as they say. I have a lot of respect for UCSB.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><i>Gran Torino</i>? My dad saw that and he liked it. I haven't seen that Forest Whitaker movie, though it sounds interesting!Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-67520133373052315522010-04-04T19:48:13.852-07:002010-04-04T19:48:13.852-07:00marcy,

I have the deepest respect for each and every one of you. I <i>love</i> 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.<br /><br />And 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.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-50324875155653126142010-03-25T10:33:49.223-07:002010-03-25T10:33:49.223-07:00happy anniversary!! :D here's to another (inse...happy anniversary!! :D here's to another (insert large number) years!! xxxanahithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568653537583810939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-26450196640660509862010-03-23T14:14:48.475-07:002010-03-23T14:14:48.475-07:00Congrats Marcy.

But it does seem that our respective lives and mutual interests came to a rather fascinating correlation. <br /><br />Must be the harmonic convergence. Or something. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Congrats on being accepted at UCSB!!!<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />So here's to the second anniversary of BISTF, one of the best blogs ever born. Not to mention the host. <br /><br />She's pretty damned awesome too.Miranda Wildinghttp://cinematicpassions.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
