Early this morning during breakfast. A girl named Carolyn came up to me and said she came across my blog last night. Carolyn introduced herself to me and told me she felt the same way I did. Carolyn is an only child from Terrebonne, Oregon. I thought it was really nice of her. Carolyn is really into Film and Photography. Now I have three new friends, Carolyn, Natalia and my roomate Yolanda. We took the picture in her dorm room.

I really love this picture of Troy and Lee Pace. It is very huge.........

I am honestly so bored out of my mind right now. I miss my family and friends. I am so lonely in Virginia. It's like I'm slowly dying inside. I'm actually entertaining myself by taking pictures of my room and my computer. I also am researching and typing my paper on Shirley Chisholm. I have Thursday and Friday off from work. So after classes end I have to great pleasure to come back to my room and be bored even more. Everybody at this school is like so different from me. It's like I'm in another world. I know the whole purpose of college is going out and discoveing new people. But, I am just not happy here.

I saw Milwaukee, Minnesota like about five more times. It's sorta starting to grow on me the more I see it. Troy is so cute in this film, you just want to hug and kiss him so much. He's like a little puppy dog all through the film. He didn't play it over the top which is what makes him such a good actor. I really liked the way it ended. Albert wasn't as out of it as everyone thought. So he kept his money in the end and got to make it on his own. My rental is for seven days, but I may return it tomorrow.

Looking so sweet and innocent.........


Tearful and Sad..............


Sweet Smile...............


Scary Republican or Jehovah Witnesses looking pictures.....You decide


The scenes where Albert Finally makes eye contact..................



Cute Apron...............

The brother at the dinner table had me laughing out loud.....ball cancer....

Albert Gets A Kiss............





I am a huge Allison Folland fan (was shocked by her weight loss).The last Allison film I saw was "Things Behind The Sun" a couple of years ago. I was secretly praying that Randy Quaid would have on white patent leather shoes but it was a no go. Debra Monk is also a wonderful actress who only get supporting role, but she always shines in them.

I just saw Milwaukee, Minnesota like fifteen minutes ago. It was okay, I thought Troy was trully amazing like he always is. Troy is just the greatest actor alive. Troy could read the telephone book standing upside down drunk and I would think the man was a genius. He does no wrong in my opinion. I however will not buy this film until much later in the future. I love Troy but, not that much. I got tons of screencaps and will plan on doing something with them. I did find it troubling how in the commentary the director Alan Mindel never shutup and cut off Troy constantly like every other second.



I actually saw Simone's Bent short film Escape from Eden in the Black Independent film section next to Milwaukee, Minnesota. I was tempted to get it but I didn't. It looked really really bad. Trust me I like bad movies but not enough to pay for it. Maybe I'll rent it some other time. I found the picture of her on the director's site.

Short Humane Society Interview
I found this short. interview Troy did for Off the Chain. I want to see this film also but I gather it will be really brutal and unwatchable. I still want to see it anyway.

I also stopped by Target today during my break and went to the dollar bin. They had Boucle Yarn and needles. I bought some and I will make a scarf out of what I bought. I have in the weeks since I've been in Roanoke I've been knitting and hand sewing like crazy. I am not sleeping really good. I really feel crappy about not bringing my sewing machine, so when I get enough cash. I'm thinking about buying another one. I saw a really good one at Target.
I also am planning on making this sweater Samuel L Jackson Sweater

I have a paper due friday for my Feminism and Race class (Shirley Chisholm is my subject) and my Feminist Philosophies class ( I am really focused on Sojourner Truth for this paper). I just saw this film about Shirley Chisholm and her bid for the Predidency and what she went through. It's really sad how alot of feminist at the time didn't I believe fully support her. Sojourner Truth has always been a favorite of mine. Also my Creative Writing paper isn't due until next wednesday.

I am now reading two new books. Just to keep my mind from going crazy.
In Our Time : Memoir of a Revolution by Susan Brownmiller &
Listen Up: Voices from the Next Feminist Generation by Barbara Findlen

I got a part time job at Lady Foot Locker from 5pm to 10pm. Not at Target like I wanted. Natalia got a job at JCPenney. So it least I got the job situation out of the way. Finally the day I will see Milwaukee, Minnesota has come. I will rent it on Tuesday from Blockbusters after work. Thank god Blockbusters doesn't close until midnight.
