and she was// the move is complete

I’ve finished moving over to AndSheWas.org! It’s such a relief. I feel free from the confines of Word Press. And She Was is one of my favorite Talking Heads songs and unlike other songs or bands that I like a whole lot, they’re extra special to me. Before I was born, my parents went on a date to a Talking Heads show, I recently inherited some of their vinyls from my Dad, and one of the first times we hung out as a couple, my boyfriend and I were watching Stop Making Sense. My love for them is not just musical but sentimental; the best people I’ve met love them and the best car rides have been spent singing along.

I’ve had some days off from my day job for the first time since May. Much of this free time has been devoted to reworking the blog and my etsy shop. Though, I have managed to do a lot of swimming, film-watching, and quality time with my family and my boyfriend.

I was so focused on getting the technical work done on this move that I haven’t had much time to work on the post I’ve been planning, so here’s a quick rundown of my current favorites.

- Inception in Imax was amazing. I think I will go see it again, though probably not in Imax (much too expensive). At the very least, I’ll buy it when it comes out. I love it when a great film (or song, book, painting, etc) has you thinking about its concept for days afterward. Not to mention JGL looking dapper. (Find an interview of him at NY Times’ T Magazine.)
- I’ve been going through all the videos, and watching T Magazine’s video of Ryan McGinley’s Spring opening at Team Gallery is just about enough to cure any nervous post-grad feelings I’ve been having.
- Speaking of dapper, Annabel’s latest outfit post is exactly what I want on my body right now, but it’s so hot I can’t manage to get out of shorts and a men’s Hanes v-neck.
- I know a lot of people who read this are people I know in person and thus probably from Boston, so I have to recommend stalking the blog Wicked Cheap in Boston. It’s pretty new, but Molly is quite the motivated cheapskate (I mean that in the BEST way). There’s also a good amount of information and links that apply to people that don’t live in Boston- or you might as well bookmark it in case you decide to plan a visit.

suicidal ideations

Krysten Ritter’s new show on Starz, Gravity has been cancelled. I really liked it, but I can’t say I’m surprised. I saw this coming and watched one episode at a time, but it still wasn’t enough. I want more. So a lot of the show is cliche (the “empty” tattoo on her neck, the whole plot of friends that meet at group therapy after trying to kill themselves in very unusual ways reeks of every Palahniuk novel I loved in 10th grade), but I have kind of a girl crush on Ritter. She’s played a kind of type cast goth-girl bitchy best friend of the lead in so many movies like 27 Dresses and She’s Out of my League (I will admit to seeing the latter, but she made me laugh the most) and for that I find myself able to relate to her.

where are these glasses and will they still fit my head?

Hi, I moved from ithrowyouin.wordpress.com to finally have my own domain for my blog. If I’m entirely new to you, my name is Kristine. I’m a 22 year old college graduate with a racing mind and a need to put things in a proper place. And She Was will function as a conglomeration of the hot mess that is my head, my inspiration, my own work, and my thoughts.

Oh, and that up there, is me when I was around seven years old.
