simply complex.

My favorite bookstore, Borders, is going out of business, but I managed to snag these items on sale in the past two weeks (from left to right):

3 Plays: The Political Theater of Howard Zinn by Howard Zinn
For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf by Ntozake Shange
Abnormal by Michel Foucault
Sweep: Volume 15 by Cate Tiernan
Sweep: Volume 14 by Cate Tiernan
Push by Sapphire
For One More Day by Mitch Albom
The Worst-Case Scenario Almanic: Politics by David Borgenicht & Turk Regan
Extras by Scott Westerfield
[DVD] A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!
Girls Like Us by Rachel Lloyd
Somewhere Inside by Laura Ling & Lisa Ling
November by David Mamet
In Defense of Flogging by Peter Moskos
[DVD] Stonewall Uprising
[DVD] A Single Man

I’m not going to lie; I’m most excited about A Single Man because Nicholas Hoult is in it and it’s a beautiful film. If you want to borrow it (or any of my books or DVDs), just ask! :)

[Film] A Single Man

George: Itʼs not depressing, itʼs true. I mean, itʼs not necessarily your immediate future, but itʼs what we all share. Death is the future.

Kenny: Youʼre right I guess.

George: If one is not enjoying oneʼs present there isnʼt a great deal to suggest that the future should be any better.

Kenny: Yeah, Iʼve thought that before. But the thing is, you just never know. Look at tonight. Actually I feel really alone most of the time.

George: You do?

Kenny: Yeah. Iʼve always felt this way. I mean weʼre born alone, we die alone. And while weʼre here we are absolutely, completely sealed in our own bodies. Really weird. Kinda freaks me out to think about it. We can only experience the outside world through our own slanted perception of it. Who knows what youʼre really like. I just see what I think youʼre like.

George: Iʼm exactly what I seem to be, if you look closely. You know the only thing that has made the whole thing worthwhile has been those few times that I was able to truly connect with another person.

Happy 21st Birthday, Nicholas Hoult! <3

Nicholas Hoult = British actor / my celebrity crush / my future husband

He was in About a Boy, Skins (one of my favorite TV shows), A Single Man (Tom Ford’s debut film and he’s has also appeared in many of Ford’s ad campaigns), and Clash of the Titans. He will be Hank McCoy/Beast in X-Men: First Class in 2011.

Yes, I do like staring at him 24/7. No, I am no obsessed with him. Yes, I get notified when he is mentioned on Twitter and Tumblr. No, I am not stalking him.

When I was little, I wanted to be a dolphin. I only changed when I realized that wasn’t an option.

Letʼs just talk about fear. Fear, after all, is our real enemy. Fear is taking over our world. Fear is being used as a tool of manipulation in our society. Itʼs how politicians peddle policy and how Madison Avenue sells us things that we donʼt need. Think about it. Fear that weʼre going to be attacked, fear that there are communists lurking around every corner, fear that some little Caribbean country that doesnʼt believe in our way of life poses a threat to us. Fear that black culture may take over the world. Fear of Elvis Presleyʼs hips. (beat) Well, maybe that one is a real fear. Fear that our bad breath might ruin our friendships… Fear of growing old and being alone. Fear that weʼre useless and that no one cares what we have to say.

— George, from A Single Man
