From Party to Puppets

I threw my first party at my apartment last night and it was really fun. It's interesting observing people in a party setting. Over the years I've frequently seen the beauty (tragedy) of socialization and the harrowing reality that people are uncomfortable in their own sobriety. It's fascinating how people feel more inclined to be outgoing if there is alcohol in their system- I'm not talking about observations from last night. Needing that liquid courage says a lot about our society, but I will not get into that right now. I will say, the conversations that ensued at the party after a few drinks were ones normally you wouldn't have with strangers, but that alcohol makes you bold haha. Anyway, the party was a success and I am happy people had fun!

Today the apartment looked like a hurricane hit it, and I was going to take a picture before I cleaned it up, but I forgot =/ womp womp. No worries! There will be more parties in which I can record the disastrous aftermath.

Today was a lazy day. I finally watched Meet the Feebles, a wonderful film by the sickeningly creative Peter Jackson about the goings on behind a live show. The best part- PUPPETS. The entire cast consists of these amazingly constructed puppets that are polar opposites of the pastel-colored, child-like Sesame Street puppets. These puppets are raw and unapologetic for their grotesque actions and crazy lifestyles.



Peter Jackson is a man of many talents. I wonder if while he was making this movie he even fathomed the possibility he'd be directing the epic LOTR trilogy. He's my hero. Have I written about how obsessed I am with LOTR?! No? Well, it's pretty sick- no, not cool sick, more like maybe I should go seek some counseling sick haha. I've re-watched them- well, a lot of times. They're just so easy to get sucked into. You know I'm right!!




I'm out.
