Valentino: The Last Emperor

8 Reasons why you should see this documentary...

1. People like Valentino remind us that the fashion industry is not superficial nonsense.

2. Art comes in many forms and designers are true artists with a genuine love for beauty.

3. I cried (I don't really know why, though - maybe you could tell me).

4. If you like to be inspired.

5. It's playing at the San Diego Civic Theatre (awesome historical dwelling).

6. If you like clothes.

7. Because Valentino Garavani is one of the most charming old men I have ever laid eyes on and his ideas are far from frivolous.

8. Jackie O was rad.



Life Research 1.5: People like to celebrate their hard move with a party.

BACKGROUND RESEARCH:

From my previous Life Research Conclusion, we now know that moving can be very tough. Luckily, the Moving Gods invented something called "Housewarming Parties", where the new house inhabitants invite their friends and family over to drink and celebrate the new home.

HYPOTHESIS:

One house mover's hard work is completely paid off by an excellent housewarming party.

EXPERIMENT:

Throw a "Housewarming Party" where friends can fully basque in the freshly personalized, new home. Coincidentally, my good friends Rachel and Maddy also experienced a move around the same time which resulted in a Friday night "Housewarming Party" and M & R's and a Saturday "Housewarming Party" at Amy's.

RESULTS:

Nuff' Said.



































CONCLUSION:

Any excuse to party is a good one.

Life Research 1.0: What would make moving much harder than it already is?

BACKGROUND RESEARCH:

Moving is hard.

DO procrastinate.

Finding a place to move to is NOT a priority.

DO leave town the weekend you are supposed to be moving.

If you have finals, DO leave as much packing and moving for when studying becomes very important.

HYPOTHESIS: Moving is hard if you follow all of the above guidelines.

EXPERIMENT: Moving from 1414 Grand Ave. to 4007 Everts in one night, during finals, after partying extremely hard in Portland, Oregon and losing my phone.

After getting out of class at 10 PM, Jenna, Jessica and I frantically tried to pack up my boxes, furniture and massive amount of clothes into 3 cars and rally over to the new pad. We tied my mattress to the top of Jenna's car with left over cable and sketchily drove through the streets of PB at 1 AM.

RESULTS:

Late night mess = No sleep before finals. Yippee.






CONCLUSION:

If you like stress and would like to make your next moving experience extremely hard, follow all the guidelines above. Simply put.

I apologize to my millions of readers for my recent lack of posting. My life has just been so eventful and over dosed with blog worthy situations, I didn't even have time to write! How sad.

I now intend to make that up to you.

During one of my hot off the books conversations with my new friend (whom I will not mention their name for privacy reasons) we concluded that life is like one big research project. After all of my years in school it would only be appropriate to apply the scientific method to my life experiences. Here is my lab book.

I can't believe I didn't know about this.

Yes, yes I know it's been a while. And I'm sorry. This post will be short, sweet, and to the point.

It became a pressing matter, when I realized that only just now this song entered my life.

Every now and then I "stumble upon" a song that makes me feel like I left my body and went to another planet. When I listen to the buttery intersections of beats, clicks and choir, my mind has the ability to completely abandon my body and I am immediately engulfed into a familiar realm of lucid happiness. I love this song a lot. That's it.
