30 going on 13?
Written by SBF on October 24, 2009 – 8:14 pmI knew the good mood couldn’t last. The boyfriend just asked me what’s going on with my face. He means the zits. For some reason lately I’ve been breaking out a lot. It must be some new product I’m using or maybe laundry detergent.
Whatever it is, I’m finding myself for the first time in a very long time looking into how to get rid of acne, and quickly. Charming. I had terrible skin when I was going through puberty, and always stressed out about it.
Hopefully this time I can get rid of it, determine the cause and behave like a mature adult (yeah right) about it.
Speaking of which, the movie 13 going on 30 was such a piece of crap, right?

Books and Beer
Written by SBF on July 18, 2009 – 6:10 pmWe’ve been in the new house for a while now, and the only things left unpacked are boxes in basement. Most of that is winter things and stuff we’re probably going to get rid of. Today’s task (before heading out to see the new Harry Potter movie) has been going through all of our books. Including the 12 new books we’ve acquired since moving in but haven’t read yet.
After an hour the boyfriend and I decided that we needed to introduce beer into the sorting plan. It was getting painful to decide what to give away, so we thought a little buzz would help out. And it did. We spent 2 hours total with books and beer and have 8 boxes to give away, and I’m in a great mood.

In Treatment Analysis from someone who knows
Written by Jen on May 7, 2009 – 3:25 pmNo, not me. I’m talking about Jung at Heart, written by a psychotherapist. There’s a recap of each episode/session, and then some thoughts about the patients, Paul, and the treatment process. It’s really interesting to read. Obviously everyone forms their own opinion about how things are going, but it is nice to see what a professional thinks.
If you’re not watching In Treatment, you should be. Some amazing acting, plus… Gabriel Byrne. He’s still very hot. My crush began with his role in Stigmata. Yes, he played a priest. This isn’t therapy, lay off me.
Tell me that’s not hot.

Finally saw Grey Gardens (2009 version)
Written by Jen on May 4, 2009 – 8:43 pmI watched the documentary Grey Gardens in college when I was going through my only hang out with gay guys phase. It was the middle of the night and we were all floored. And wanted to grow up to be Little Edie, except not, of course. If you’ve seen it, I’m sure you know what I mean. Here’s the original trailer. There are less than 5 seconds of film of the Edies in it, but it’s still fantastic. If I remember correctly you can watch most if not all of the documentary on YouTube.
Anyway, right now I’m cableless (don’t ask – my mother is insane), so it takes a while for me to remember to get things I want to watch from uh… other online sources I won’t get into right now…
So onto the HBO production of Grey Gardens. It recounts the lives that led up to the original film, and does an amazing job of recreating some of the most memorable scenes. Jessica Lange is ridiculously good, and Drew Barrymore amazed me. Emmys all around. I’d recommend watching the documentary first, it will really help you appreciate the film.
