Okay, Philadelphia, why do you love to deny me chips?

First, it was Garden Salsa Sunchips, for which I literally went to EVERY place in the city that sells chips. But no, you refused to give me that one simple thing. I found Original, French Onion, and even Harvest Cheddar. But not Garden Salsa, which is the best kind of Sunchip.

Then it was Utz Chips. I went to every convenience store and deli I could find. No good. It was for my Halloween costume (I was the little Utz Girl), so I ended up taping a bunch of pictures from Utz chips to a bag of Lays. Sadly.

i'm pitching a short film idea tomorrow. i'm nervous and excited. i'm also going to shoot my basic film assignment...i'm scared! shooting film is so much different than shooting digitally...and this isn't a test! i hope it goes well.

i also realized that my cousin is graduating high school this year. i intend to buy this when it goes on sale and wear it for the rest of my life. i love having justifications for a new dress. i'm thinking i'll need to find some fabulous shoes to go with it. reddish pink and awesome.

have i mentioned how much i adore st. vincent?

probably not. i've been mostly listening to (what's the story) morning glory ? by oasis and the yeah yeah yeah's first two albums lately. enjoy:

i love that this video is from 1996.

i promise i'l write something of substance, soon.

things i like this week:

-this dress:($68, modcloth)

-leaves turning colors

-the writer's idea book by jack heffron

-the name jack

-baskin robbins mint chocolate chip hard candy

-being reunited with: my cats, my friends, my family, the beach, & my black lace shirt that i forgot to bring to school in september

i want someone to explain to me what is so scary about paranormal activity. because i wasn't afraid once.

i laughed a lot, though. and i especially laughed at the woman behind me's comments. when katie got out of bed and went downstairs in the middle of the night, the woman said, "she goin get a snack!" and i died.

hahhaha:

Apparenty, they are putting grease on the light poles on Broad Street in case the Phillies win again.

I am completely in favor of this notion. I took this photograph last year:

I can live without ever seeing anything like that ever again. Ick.

today in my music class, we listened to beethoven's fifth symphony in its 38-minute entirety. it was relaxing. but, because of this:

I just kept waiting for Kanye to come in.

i've got it bad for these dresses.

$148, anthropologie $188, anthropologie

I'm considering the one on the left, for real. I almost tried it on. Maybe after my birthday I'll get it. Maybe. I really love it.

Also, I'm going to see The Dirty Projectors tonight. My friend has an extra ticket. I know basically noting about them, but this music video has llamas in it.

i have no words.
