So, I am reading Neil Gaiman's American Gods right now and I just passed the part when the characters all went to the famous House on the Rock in Wisconsin. I had heard of this place freshman year when Roxy talked about it in our Theatre Production class but have since then forgotten about it. Well, now I am reminded, and goodness, it sounds like the weardiest thing in this whole world and I want to go! Here are some pictures thanks to Google images:
Did I mention it has the biggest carousel in the world?? 200 hybrid/camera animals to ride on (none of which are horses!).
Today was a lovely spring day in New York! Mandi, Caroline and I went off on a little adventure today into Syracuse. Our first stop was a small coffee/tea cafe called Recess. It looked EXTREMELY ghetto from the outside and none of us really knew what to think of it at first. However, once we went inside, we saw the real deal: an Indie, Bohemian cafe with tattooed college students and and messy haird artists. It was simply lovely! Sadly, we could not stay for long and we ventured to a Hippie shoppe that Mandi and Caroline had told me about. There, I bought a few bandanas for myself as well as one for Caroline b/c she payed for my tea prior. It was then that we made our way to Carolsel mall and off to H&M.
Caroline returned a shirt and I bought a strapless bra for a dress of Will's that I am wearing for the fashion show. Honestly, I am NOT impressed with H&M's selection of spring wear...I find it uber tacky (though Caroline did find a cute peacock dress for me ^.^ alas...too expensive). Eventually, Caroline had to go to Hott Topic to buy some jewelery so Mandi and I decided to go to Steve Madden and browse. Well, the browsing ended up being a shopping spree. Steve Madden was having a sale-thingy going on with scratch-off cards and what not. Well, the one that I got said 30% (the second highest!!) so I thought that I would look around and find a cheap show (yeah right) to use it on. I ended up picking up the "shoe of the week" which was already 10% off! I bought these really cute flats from Steve Madden for only $56.00 (originally $89.95). In Mandi's words, "It was a steal."
Afterwards, Caroline dropped off Mandi back at school and we walked through Manlius and got some ice-cream and sat in the park. After that, we saw an amazing movie at a little artsy movie theatre called, Sunshine Cleaning it was very beautiful and touching. I have seen better Indie films (Squid and the Whale, anyone?) but this was still good. Even more exciting was the trailor beforehand for a Indie/comedy called Away We Go! It looks like a grown-up version of Juno...if that makes sense...KAWAII!!! It was a great day!
Here are the two trailers for Sunshine Cleaning and Away We Go! <3
Okay, so I've been away for awhile...I have been very busy with my Independent Study but I have finally finished the first draft and I will be handing it in tomorrow! I'mhoping it's good enough...we'll see. Now, without furthur adue, here are some pictures I took back in March!
My friend Shanna took this for me :)

Almost bought this at a local thrift store...FAIL :(
Listening to: Lisa Loeb & Elizabeth Mitchell - Catch the Moon
So...when I stop stressing out so much I plan on making my blog more spring/summer like and I will also add some photos that I took at my over winter break (yes, all of the way back in March XP) BUT I hardly have any homework tomorrow so I will aim for tomorrow. Yes, well, I am off to do the Caz radio show tonight. One of my friends is no longer able to play a character on a show that we have on Caz Air so I told her that I will be doing it for her :) okay! TTFN! <3
Salut! I am a recent graduate with a BA in English and minor in Theatre. I enjoy drinking tea, reading and watching the classics, meditation and spending time with my family and friends. I often update my favorite book, movie, and song on the right side panel and post my adventures whenever possible! Merci!
