I realized: I really like making lists. Despite the general disorderliness of my general behavior (i.e. my room (or just chores in general), my forgetfulness) I like being well organized. I like scheduling my studying (and, occasionally, deviating completely from said schedules) and planning out things that need to be done. It's just that I seem to never have enough time to finish everything on my list.
But anyways, I realized that I don't really watch movies / TV-Shows that often. I've even stopped reading! D: So I figure I need to make lists of movies i want to see, shows I want to watch, and books I want to read... maybe when I have some spare time (eventually), I can look back on this list and know exactly what I should tackle first? also, if anything on my list is something YOU, yes, YOU either haven't seen, or would like to rewatch, LET ME KNOW! I love movie/TV Show marathons!

angie! you would blog the night before your midterm :) thanks for coming to pick up your stuff even if you were super busy, the new apt has so many problems (leaks and fridge not working etc etc) aaaaaack! but they're getting it all fixed. i havent seen a lot of those movies either! (BTW STAR WARS HAS FIRST PRIORITY..watch watch watch!!)
I'm obsessed with lists. Having everything down on paper makes it all seem more doable, right?
oooh American History X.. good choice, but be warned, it's pretty heavy stuff.
also noticed A Clockwork Orange in your book list. The film is great! Didn't know there was a book to it.
you still haven't seen star wars? cmoooooon, its ridiculous
I recently saw Silence of the Lambs. one of the Hannibal series. Highly recommend. don't watch alone. it is fucking creepy.
I also recommend Ichi the Killer. Another Japanese gorey psychopath movie.
If you ever feel like stimulating your intellect and philosophy, you should definitely watch Waking Life. makes you thinking about the universe, life, dreams, alternate universes, free will, existence of God, etc.
For a heart warming touching movie, I recommend Departures. It got like best foreign film or something. Its about a newly employed funeral professional and delves deep into the emotions behind death and funerals. surprisingly not depressing. highly recommend.
i recommend that you watch Tekkon Kinkreet. great animation. about a dilapidated slum and some kids that "own" the city.
I haven't seen all of this but, City of God is really good too apparently.
wrinkle in time is a great choice. the whole trilogy is awesome.
Grapes of Wrath is a great classic but for John Steinbeck, I highly recommend The Pearl. All his books are pretty much hopefully depressing and The Pearl just catches all the aspects of his work and keeps it under 100 pages lol.
For fantasy reads, I suggest the Earthsea chronicles by Ursula LeGuin. I dunno if you'll like it but I liked it better than LOTR books.
If you wanna crazy feminist dystopian mindfuck, read The Passion of New Eve.
We by Yevgeny Zamyatin is also a great classic dystopian book.
and yea I love JD Salinger. I suggest you read Nine Stories. you'll find one short story you like.
For anime, you should watch Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop. FLCL is great too. i like how it makes sense but also doesnt make sense.
*1 liter of tears/*1 litre of tears. SUCH A GOOD DRAMA!
