I don't usually do this, but I figured I'd do a little mini-review/recommendation of the movie I just watched with my mom, Martha Marcy May Marlene. Starring the SERIOUSLY gorgeous and amazingly talented Elizabeth Olsen, the movie tells the story of a girl who escapes from a cult and deals with the aftermath (in so many words). It's one of the most memorable, jarring, kind of disturbing but completely enthralling films that I've seen in a loooong time. On top of that, it's gorgeous to look at--the simple white clothes on the cult members, the setting in upstate New York and Connecticut, and of course the leading lady. I highly recommend.

inside all of us is a wild thing

Who else is extremely excited to see the new film adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are? (trailer here) I've had an exhausting past couple of days, with my car breaking down 400 miles from my house, 7 hours in an auto shop, lots of fast food, a new apartment, a new bed, and a peaceful hike in the woods...needless to say, my blog has been on the back burner. For the last time though, i promise! I'll be going back to school soon and these summer adventures will come to an end! I'll miss them though...
