at 2:30 this morning warren woke me up and put me in the car with loads of blankets and pillows. "just go to sleep," he said and i did.
we drove and drove and drove until we stopped. we were on assateague island (home of the wild ponies!), off the coast of maryland. it was still pitch black when we arrived and freezing. but little by little the sky started to get lighter. the clouds started turning pink and orange and then we saw this:
which is when warren pulled out this...
...and proposed!!!

I love Christmas music in a way that is almost unnatural. I am a Christmas-Music-All-Year-Long type of girl, which bothers roommates and loved ones when they hear Boyz II Men belting out their love for Jesus and snow in July. I was preparing a blog post on transformation scenes in tween movies, but then I discovered something so terrifying, so plain wrong, that I had to share. It even dampened my love for Christmas music, so that's really saying something.
I don't know what possessed me but I Googled "tweens singing Christmas songs." The first one wasn't terrible. Well, okay, it's pretty bad but she has such a bedazzling guitar that I was distracted (major points if you can watch this for longer than 30 seconds):
But then disaster struck. I knew clicking on youtube links would eventually kill me because this is what I found:
And so much of who I am shriveled up and died. Who does Miley think she is? I mean, there is only one person who could ever touch this song. And that is Mariah. Watch this Miley, and be shamed:
I mean, you can't compete with that. Nice try, Smiley.

it is just a real treat, this movie. i find it nearly impossibly to resist a caper, especially if there are animals & bill murray involved. also, watch this featurette and be amazed:
Finally, I just found out that a little essay of mine will be published by Fourth Genre in Fall 2010. I remember reading this lit magazine as a wee undergraduate and thinking, "Maybe one day..." It's so exciting to see it actually happening!
