A new Pixar movie means? Rejoicing! Although I haven’t seen WALL-E yet. Because I am a bad fan. Soon. Every Pixar movie, though, I see the trailer and I’m like, how are they gonna pull this off?

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to trust Pixar.
I am a twenty-something cinephile, music lover, internet junkie, gamer grrrl, and recovering academic (English lit). This is my home, but you can also find me around the net; see my Friendfeed activity below for all my interweb haunts.

Thing number one: I am so so so so so so glad to be doing novels in 19th-20th Century Brit Lit now instead of poetry. (This doesn’t help my Donne problem, since that’s a whole other class, but still.)
Thing number two: Howards End is one of the best novels I’ve ever read. [...]
I saw a movie opening weekend! And I feel like writing about it! I’ve been looking forward to The Last Kiss since I first read about it on Zach Braff’s blog. He stars in it, but doesn’t direct it, which makes it slightly less squee-worthy than Garden State, but still. Braff [...]
(So is it obvious yet how much I’m procrastinating?)
Things that are truly annoying me:
1. Rojo is currently being “updated.” It’s been that way all day. How am I supposed to keep up on my feeds if my feedreader is BROKEN? I feel lost! LOST!!! Note to self: export my feed list [...]
