I’m getting hypnotized by the Internet and I can’t still write my final paper. This is another lesson’s paper but whatever, I’m always stuck at one point. I decided not to start watching any other TV show until summer vacation begins. Not watching TV shows made me watch movies (which are better and I could only watch one a day because it has no following episodes or something like that). And these movies give me inspiration, and with this inspiration I started drawing again. I probably will post some of my exercises (because I’m exercising on my drawing. Yup.) later, and there is another possibility of me posting on Sunday (I hope) (I’m using too much parentheses) and these posts will probably about The Office or Doctor Who (THE OFFICE IS ENDING OMG WHAT WILL I DO) or my TV addiction.
I should stop doing these mashing-up-the-words things.
Here I am, writing another monthly favourites post; which I don’t even know why. Why am I doing this? Why am I waiting all month to share a thing that I get excited about (I really do that. I’ve waited to write something about My Mad Fat Diary like a month and I couldn’t even write a proper thing when the time comes)? I think I have no idea about what should I write in a blog. I want to be noticed, I want to write things which takes attention and I want people to like them, be interested in them. From now on, I’m not gonna hold myself till the end of the month. That’s why I will mention Once Upon A Time in my april favourites. Here it comes, baby.
Once Upon A Time
It is obvious that this TV show is a bit cheesy. And it’s not that qualified. Its visual effects are miserable (which doesn’t matter, I’m also watching Doctor Who). The acting is mostly poor, too (like I know the best). But the show is awesome. I can’t help myself. The idea is awesome, all fairytales, all stories together. I watched one and a half seasons in three days I think (yeah, I watched them in May). If you are looking for a new TV show to watch, definitely go for it. I know that I said it is a bit (a liiiiitle bit) bad but I’m sure you’re gonna love it because it has a possibility to make itself loved by everyone. Doesn’t matter if you are young or old, male or female. It’s for everyone. And I hate Snow White.
The Royal Tenenbaums
Yeah, I should have watched it earlier. Have nothing to say. It’s a Wes Anderson movie, after all.
I know that a big amount of people get pissed off about this movie, the Bling Ring. I’ve read so many things about Emma Watson being ‘slutty’ in social networks. You know how much I love her from my earlier posts, she was my childhood hero. I like her and know her as much as you do. But look at her! Look how different she looks, how different she acts like.
She is being a real actress! In a different character! She shows us that she can act like the most annoying person ever! Don’t be so judgemental. Our girl is growing up. She is not little Hermione Granger anymore. In fact, I’m sure that Hermione was a little bit slutty, too. Who knows (except Ron Weasley).
Hi everyone, I’m here with just a random blog post about the recent things in my life.
I’m happy to declare that today has been and going to be a sleepy day. I’ve watched 2 seasons of Awkward, I watched some silly YouTube videos, and now I’m looking at some fashion blogs that I like. Before Tuesday, I was in very tiring actions. Like studying for midterms, or my driver license exam, or trying to write a whole research paper in one night, or working a lot.
I’ve really worked a lot in the past two weeks, because there was the 32nd Istanbul Film Festival. I was an employee in the festival so it’s been a rough two weeks because despite of the fact that I’ve chosen the empty days of mine, it’s not that cool to work 12 hours at some days. I’ve watched 13 movies, though (my favourites were Disconnect, the Man Who Laughs and the Fifth Season). Well, working is not a bad thing for me because I obviously gonna earn money from it, but these two weeks were my exam weeks as well.
None of my exams went well.
I don’t know what will happen to my grades, but I’ve promised myself to study more and work less. And actually I’m thinking about not working at all (unless they don’t pay me ridiculously small amounts of money) until the end of the spring term. I know that I will correct everything in my life if I don’t pay attention to other things except my lectures.
And an exciting new; I’m gonna go to Ankara tomorrow. This is the first time I’m gonna go out of the city just by myself (remember that I’m nearly 20 years old… ugh). I’m gonna attend to a convention in Middle East Technical University.
Here’s my march favourites. I knooooow, I should have been posted them a week ago, but mid-terms. Sorry.
My Mad Fat Diary
I’ve literally been waiting for to mention this show in my march favourites post since the beginning of march. Forget about all other shows I’ve watched, this is the best one. THE BEST. I personally think high school teachers should make their students watch this. People (especially teenager people) need to realize how precious they are.
Everything Is Illuminated
As you can see, it’s the book of Everything Is Illuminated. I haven’t watched the movie but I definitely will, because the book was awesome. What is awesomeness? Let me explain it to you. If you read this book, you will laugh a lot, cry a lot, and feel a lot. The most important thing in this book is feeling. It’s about the words the writer’s used, about the spaces he left between words and the dots he put somewhere between words and words and words. When you read the things he wrote, you will feel like you are listening somebody’s inner voice. And that makes the book real, and more than that, it feels like you are experiencing the same things as the main characters of the book. Please don’t read it in public I’m not responsible for spontaneous crying sessions.
Alex Day Songs
I can’t say that I wasn’t a big fan of Alex Day songs before then, but with I’ve Got What It Takes and uTorrent’s free 10 songs of Alex Day thing made me go literally CRAZY. First of all, I have some things to say about I’ve Got What It Takes. God. This is a really good song. Really good. When I first watched the video, it gave me goosebumps. It was beautiful. And when I’m listening it everyday on my phone when I’m on the road for school, I get sad. Because, it feels like I’m one of those souls who don’t follow their dreams. I’m totally confused by this song. I’m trying to understand what I want from life, what I want to do, do I want to be a geologist? Really? Was it my childhood dream? It kinda was, but I’ve had bigger dreams. But are these dreams are the ones that everyone’s had? Like being famous, making music, drawing, to summarize; being inspirational. I’m still trying to find out. And, did you realize that Carrie is wearing the same dress all the time? Looks good, though.
Lastly, without image content, here is a website that I follow through march. I’m checking it everyday. It’s a bit girly, things about fashion, make up and stuff. But really cool. Check it out. I was looking at this website while I was procrastinating about writing this post. Sorry.
Hi erryone. This is the third edition of my childhood heroes. I know it’s getting mad, maybe I should have named the posts “my childhood icons” or something. But I dunno, I still feel like they’re my heroes.
Violet Baudelaire
This girl has been like a style icon for me at first. I loved her gothic dress, her shoes, her bangs, her little braid, and her black ribbon she used for tying her hair. I cut my first bang (which I couldn’t give up from cutting it like 10 years or something) when I see Emily Browning in The Series of Unfortunate Events movie. I took a picture of her with me when I was heading to the hairdresser. I’ve had a black ribbon like hers. Then I started to read the books. Actually, I’ve read the third book before the movie, but I wasn’t even remembering it when I was watching. It could be because I am a children. With shitty memory. I don’t know. Then I read the 7th, 8th and 9th book. I don’t really know why I started with 7. I think I couldn’t find the earlier books and took these. Whatever, when I read the books, I realized she was like the person I want to be. So smart. OH GOD SHE WAS SO SMART. I was a little nerdy when I was at that age, doing experiments, reading books about evolution or something… And I’ve always want to fix some things or invent something. I used to love dealing with some cables and screwdrivers. Actually, I still do. But this nerdy things made me love Violet. I tried to be like her for a while, then somehow I quitted. Oh god. I should read the rest of the books.
Tintin
Well, I really don’t know how to describe my fanatism about Tintin when I was a kid. It all started when I learnt to read. I’ve started to take old books from my uncles’ and grandpa’s house. The first one I’ve read was The Secret of the Unicorn. I guess it was my cousin’s or something. They’ve had a bunch of The Adventures of Tintin comics, so I took them all to my own house and read them one by one. There was the chronological list of the comics at the back of each comic, so I followed the pattern and read it like a mad. Someday I realized I haven’t got any other Tintin comics to read, so I’ve read them all again. And again. And again. Tintin started to get into my life, I remember mentioning it at primary school to my teacher. With my big child’s brain, I draw a girlfriend to Tintin. I did it. I saw him in some of my dreams, that I took adventures with him. The favourite comic of mine was Prisoners of the Sun, I dreamed that I was Zorrino in that story. Unluckily, I lost the copy of Prisoners of the Sun and I haven’t buy it yet. Yeah. I should buy it.
That’s all for now. I’m gonna be here for the march favourites post as soon as I can. I have a homework to do… Actually I was planning to post this at the middle of the march. But I’ve had midterm exams. Sorry for that. I hope you enjoy your reading, if you do, please follow me on here, or tumblr, goodreads, wherever you want. Thank you!
