it's like I'm, paranoid, looking over my back
I asked for a bulletin board for Christmas. It's an idea board, really, because I rip pictures out of magazines (Vogue and Harper's, lol), and now it is up opposite my desk in my room and I LOVE IT. When I was in middle school I covered the walls entirely (and I mean entirely) in pictures of various sizes, and when I lived in the basement of this house for a while I put up pictures down there as well that looked the way I imagined my novel's setting would look. But I no longer like taping things to walls, and I like to change things, so voila. It kind of looks like an altar now, but that's fine.

Movies (received as presents because I'm already obsessed with both of them):

Movies (received as presents because I'm already obsessed with both of them):
- Candyman (I could write a thesis on how this is the most perfect horror movie evar, but I don't want to end up like Helen)
- Mulholland Drive (this movie has grown on me considerably since I first watched it when it came out)
- The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson (already read)
- We Have Always Lived In The Castle, Shirley Jackson (reading now: love it already, but no surprise)
- Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter, Tom Franklin (don't remember where I saw it first; sold by the Amazon excerpt)
- A Good and Happy Child, Justin Evans (recommended by

One time, back when I was still a film critic, I was asked to make a list of my top ten films of the 1990s. One of them was Candyman, and I took far more shit from my peers about that than I did about another one being Hard Core Logo.

Good haul of books there, Nadia. I received one book: Jay-Z's autobio Decoded, and so far it is dope and fresh and smooth.
BTW, Candyman is a solid horror flick.
I have never seen Mulholland Drive.

Yeah, I saw Decoded at Barnes & Noble. It is very fancy-looking.
I only saw Candyman last year, and I immediately was like, "where have you been all my life?" So it's not even sentiment binding me. Mulholland Drive is David Lynch (rabbits!) so you know, if you like that kind of thing... I love it, and I think it's his most "approachable" movie.

Odd that I've never seen MD, but I shall be checking it out.
