I Want To Go Down In Celluloid History

Currently drinking: Just finished a really yummy tomato juice concoction.

Currently eating: Nothing. But I am seriously craving something summery and avocado related. Any of the following would be more than acceptable.

Current grooving to: "Frankly Mr. Shankly" by The Smiths. This has been a perpetual groove for the past week or so. It's so good.

Currently supposed to be doing: Summer work for AP U.S. History. But I was extremely productive yesterday so blogging before I start again is my reward.

Currently wearing on your feet: Nothing! Summer is the time to be barefoot as much as possible.

Currently looking forward to: Autumn, and school starting, crazy as that may sound. I miss my friends and doing things. Also I miss putting on outfits that people other than my family will see.

Currently wanting: A lifetime supply of James Perse shirts. They are so unbelievably deliciously soft and slouchy and perfect.

Currently amused by: "Frankly Mr. Shankly" because it seriously is the funniest song ever. Just please read the lyrics, they are absolutely brilliant.

Current state of happiness: Very happy, mostly because school is starting soon and my summer work has turned out to be not nearly as daunting as I expected.

Current favorite song: You should be able to guess that!

Current favorite meal: Lobster. There are few things more satisfying than cracking, drowning in butter, and gobbling down a lobster.

Current favorite movie: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Such a gorgeous film. The montage of Benjamin and Daisy in their apartment is my favorite part. It's so carefree and sweet and beautiful.

Currently reading: Luncheon of the Boating Party again, and a small Pablo Neruda volume that goes with me everywhere these days. I finally finished On The Road!

Currently hearing: "The Crane Wife 3" and the dull roar of a plane. Our house here is right by the airport.

Current favorite person: Brad Pitt. After watching Benjamin Button and Fight Club again I am thoroughly convinced that he is not overrated. He is truly talented and indecently attractive.

Currently wearing: French boy shirt and navy blue shorts. I have been seriously digging navy blue lately.

Currently thinking about: Shoes. More specifically, these Steve Madden oxfords, and how badly I want a pair of flat black leather ankle boots.


Sadly, I must now return to the wonderful world of Federalists and proprietary colonies and native rebellions and all that joyous stuff that once happened in my home country. Wish me luck!

I totally want some of that avocado sushi, now to find a recipe, lol. Summer is the perfect time to walk around barefoot and just enjoying the little pebbles under your feet on the beach side.
