Musings.  
OhMyGawd.... Man, I LOVED Star Trek!
It was such an awesome movie And the casting was incredible!
Chris Pine looked amazingly similar to his father in the movie
and everyone gave such great performances!
Most notably Zachary Quinto (Spock), who really impressed me.
What a complex range of emotions he had to portray.
I've never watched the actual series but I've gotta believe they definitely did it justice.

Anyways, I've got more to talk about than just movies.
LoL but quickly I just want to mention that I really want to see
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
(I can already tell it's gonna be one of my favorite movies)
and I still have to see the Princess and the Frog.
Oh, and I almost forgot Sherlock Holmes!
Definitely gotta see that, but there's just something off
about the thought of Holmes as a sexy action hero...

Okay, I've been thinking of a few things.
One: college is much less exciting once you're done with
your liberal arts requirements, there are much less opportunities
for exploration. You can't just pick up an elective for the fun of it
because you've got to stay so focused on core classes or risk falling behind.
I can't figure out who I am and what my interests are with these kinds of limitations!
It just sucks, but I think I've expressed these feelings before.

Also: another thing that has been plaguing my thoughts lately is my future.
lol no surprise there, huh? I dunno, I've been struck with the sudden urge
to relocate to Japan, [partly due to watching Lovely Complex lol], but
the process seems like such hell. Which is a shame because I honestly
wouldn't mind teaching English for an income. Then I thought,
"Well, if I stay in America I can move to New York but what do I really want to do?"
I know I like fashion, and I want to stay in and around the industry, but it does get to
be sort of a headache constantly reading about ALL the lastest collections and
designers. Sometimes it's just too overwhelming keeping up. And oh gawd is the
field competitive!! But I might like to do some catalog modeling and fashion photography,
maybe on-set styling. LoL and if at all possible, I'd love to also do some musical theatre,
tap dancing, and circus performance. :D
But whatevers, my head is spinning, and I don't want to unload all my baggage on those
who actually read this thing... just felt like rambling, I guess. :)

Have a great new year all!

Never saw Star Trek before? It is an awesome movie, now you MUST convince Jacky who has a such an irrational aversion to it. She just won't give it a chance.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus does look incredible. I saw Sherlock Holmes and it was a cool movie. I enjoyed. And I researched the character and although you wouldn't call him an action star, he could definitely hold his own in a fight. He was a expert in a few forms of martial arts, including one form of that uses a cane. He's also an excellent fist-fighter. He was a formidable character, it just wasn't as emphasized in the books and character because he was all about being a genius.

You seem to have a lot reservations about your future and a lot of doubts. And although I don't want to simplify your issues, the only thing I can say is that whatever happens, make sure you enjoy what you do. And all of that is possible to do, you got a life ahead of you.

No, i never have time to watch movie when they're actually in theatres but I will definitely tell Jacky how awesome it was.

Oh yeah, I know. Some consider his character the "first western martial artist." But when I think action hero, I can easily picture a Bruce Willis character like John McClane, not Sherlock Holmes lol :). It just seems to me that this movie, in the trailers at least, are selling the character as another Tony Stark (except British, and less of a jackass lol). Probably has something to do with RDJr and the popularity of Iron Man.

Not doubts... well not in my capabilities to do what I want, but in the availability of the job or opportunity to actually break into the field. It's incredibly difficult. >_<
There are just so many things I want to do, I dunno where to start!

Just a new type of action hero. If you see the way he fights in the movie, which isn't very characteristics of most fighting styles, you'll see that there is more genius in him than fighter. But definitely, Iron Man really caused him to be type cast as that smartass. One of the biggest flaws of that movie however is that I couldn't understand a damn thing RDJr is saying. Not only does he speak incredibly fast, but his accent doesn't help.

Yeah, I meant doubts in what to do. Got lots o' time!
