This song is beautiful and has been on repeat all day. It is perfect for this rainy weekend here in LA.
I loved the film as well. If you did not catch HER in theaters definitely do so at some point, preferably as soon as possible. It is a strange premise to start off with, I admit, but the story itself and the characters are strong enough to engulf the viewer and overcome any weirdness one may feel about falling in love with an operating system. I loved the take on Los Angeles of the future, no matter how far fetched (mass density and efficient public transportation… nice try, Spike) and the subtle costumes did not try to shove "the future" down anyone's throat.
My favorite aspect without a doubt is the portrayal of loneliness. I think it paints a very accurate portrait of what it is to be lonely without being a parody or a pity party. It is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. All in all HER is a great story that was incredibly well written in my opinion and I hope it does well at the Oscars this weekend.

I truly feel that things are starting to fall into place and I am in the midst of getting my shit straight. As cheesy as it may sound, forcing myself into being positive and leaving behind all the shit from the last year has made a world of difference. I took the New Year as a reset button and haven't looked back except to think why the fuck didn't I do this earlier?!
Get in shape, finally.
Visit New York.
Take a tap class.
Be more grateful.
February came and went in a flash it seems. So much happened, is in the process of happening… very exciting. A much needed trip to New York refreshed my tired soul. Time with my amazing loved ones both there and here in LA made me so joyous and grateful to have such wonderful people in my life. I reconnected with so many people I had fallen out of touch with and it is amazing what a good conversation with old friends can do for you. Sometimes recounting aloud what you've been through and what you've done is the best thing you can do to realize all you've accomplish and how incredible you really are and the massive potential you posses. I am really into positive affirmation at the moment if you cannot tell-- self love, bitches.
Yeah, good things are happening. Here is an updated list of goals and resolutions for 2014 with progress thus far--
