I'm listening to Heather Nova right now, but when my mom comes home, I shall have in my possession Rufus Wainwright's cd. I am very happy.... i can't really express my happiness on AOL.... but I am happy =) I brought the s/t BF5 cd into school today.... nobody liked it!!! Its so sad how I have no friends that like my music taste. I have become friends with this little group of guys. My best friend has really become quite the slut. She is getting so weird and I really dont like it. i think most of the guys consider her rather easy. Oh wellz, I got some other cool friends. We have a Sandi hawkins dance pretty soon, and instead of me asking a guy, I have had 2 guys ask me... pretty flattering hehe. currently i dont know who i should go with. There is this cute guy in my study hall who is friends with these guys, but they tell me he's a bastard and would be mean to me the entire night. hmm... what to do? hehe i have almost a month till this dance. well, I missed Rufus on Sessions last Saturday!!! I am so pissed. my friend saw it and kept saying "IT WAS SOOOOOO GREAT!!!" eerrrg, I HOPE I REMEMBER TO WATCH CONAN NEXT FRIDAY!!!! AHG!!!!! hehe by the way, if anyone watches Dawson's Creek, yesterday's was so... blaaah gee... can you guess who has sex next week? and then the TO BE CONTINUED... that show was sooo bad... something good better happen next week or else they are losing my interest. lov ya guys!!!! - ----> jez ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 20:32:33 -0500 From: jaedonely@juno.com Subject: positive thinking... Hey all, I have a request. Please send a "I hope Elisabeth wins the scholarship and goes to BU for college" thought in my direction. I really want to go to bu. I had an interview today and it went well, but this scholarship is fairly hard to get, and if I got the scholarship, I could go to the college. That really would be the only way. That would utterly rock, wholly rock, Id love that. Its still snowing here in Boston. I do have midterms next week, and I dont know what Im going to do if school is canceled tomorrow. I need to get my books to study! Especially with potential colleges, I have to rock these midterms down to their innately lame core. I had an awesome day today. No school, and my mother and I headed to the interview, which I enjoyed, and then we walked around Boston Common and the Public Garden (swan boats) as the new snow fell. It was insanely romantic, and yes, I was with my mother.=) At least she and I could walk really slowly, stopping to appreciate nature's bounty. the public garden is magical. The sky was purple, the weeping willows were a soft lime green, and it was amazing. Indigo Swing is coming to the Roxy soon. I probably wont go, but Ill at least make my friend CJ go. I definetly believe in living vicariously through friends. And concert posts. Yay! Speaking of Indigo Swing, where is La Courtney? I need her to analyze the Oscar race and stuff.

I finished up caleb Carr's "The Angel Of Darkness" as well as "Bridget Jones's Diary,"(which i tore through in two days). I've realized I am Bridget but without the whole shagging the boss thing (as i have no boss and am certainly not doing any shagging). apparently my roommate read something in the new Mademoiselle about Diet Coke releasing the same endorphins in the brain as sex. First it was chocolate and now Diet coke. maybe that explains why we go through a 12-pack of it inside of 3 or 4 days. as far as the oscar race is concerned, it's been a very strange year for film. i saw The Thin Red Line on saturday and found it to be wonderfully acted, exquisitely shot and one of the most boring and unengrossingly self-important films i've ever had the displeasure to sit through. that's 3 hours i'm not ever getting back. so i don't see it getting nominated for Best Picture. perhaps best director and best cinematography and *maybe* a nod to Sean Penn of Jim Cavaziel (or however the hell you spell it) for a supporting actor. Life Is Beautiful, on the other hand should most definietly be nominated in the Best Picture category, and i wouldn't be at all surprised if Roberto Benigni gets an acting nom. it was truly one of the best films i have seen in the past year... really funny, charming, deep and truly moving. as far as other acting noms, i'm sure Michael Caine and Brenda Blethyn will both get supporting actor and actress nods for "Little voice," and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jane Horrocks got one for Best Actress. and let's see.. with "Permanent Midnight," "Your Friends And Neighbors" and "There's Something About Mary," I imagine Ben Stiller should come out with something. there has also been a lot of resurgent buzz over Out Of Sight, which, if you ask me, was the most criminally overlooked film of '98. it won best picture, best actor and best actress from one of the smaller critic awards (don't remember which). Bill Murray will get a supoprting actor nod for "Rushmore" as may Jason Schwartzman (though god knows what cataclysm may occur if a member of Phantom PLanet has an Oscar nomination under his belt) and hopefully Wes Anderson and Owen C. Wilson will get nominated for teh script. also, Lisa Kudrow is likely to get a supporting actress nomination for The Opposite Of Sex... and i would love it if Christina Ricci got a nomination for that too. not that the academy is that forward thinking. Hurlyburly should garner some acting nominations for Sean Penn, Kevin Spacey, chazz Palminteri and maybe even Anna Paquin as well as a probable Best Adapted Screenplay nom. okay, that was long winded and terrible, but that's how i think it will pan out. the only 3 movies i have yet to see that are oscar contenders are Little Voice, Hurlyburly and Playing By Heart. oooh, and you wanna know the stupid reason the studion changed it from Dancing About Architecture to Playing By Heart? they thought it sounded too similar to Dancing at Lughnasa. damn execs underestimating the public again. okay, shall i shut up? i believe so. the simpson's are on. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Wealth, power, rockstardom and a .315 batting average." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 20:03:00 -0700 From: Stacy Lynn Subject: Re: Pop Brilliance At 01:34 PM 1/14/1999 PST, Markus Kamp wrote: >Ya know what?!
