Jezka’s media diet

I decided to publish a sample of my media diet so future generations could appreciate the goodness of being a gluttonous consumer of beautiful things in 2010. This is what I am partaking of this week:

words 

This book was written based on a series of editorials the author wrote for the New York Times. Jealous. Someday, when I am a columnist for the New York Times I will write equally groundbreaking things and I will probably walk around talking on my bluetooth, saying things like “ unencumbered” and “sesquipedalian.”

 This image is on the cover of REAL SIMPLE for July 2010. If you don’t read this magazine, don’t even bother trying to be a successful person, because  everyone who reads it is WAY ahead of you.


 Duh. Check out http://byuicomm.net/story.php?c=1606 for my latest column. Also, check out the rest of the site- it is good stuff.


 I actually think the book reviews in Vogue are awesome. Plus, it's pretty. However I can NOT  understand how Anna Wintour is the Editor in Chief. I realize much smarter people than I think of her as Gods gift to fashion journalism but I basically have to staple my eyelids to my forehead to make it through one of her letters from the editor.

moving pictures

 A sappily-ever-after love story brought into being for the sole purpose of creating false expectations. You will leave the theater believing in things like unicorns and hassle-free international travel . Nevertheless, I loved this movie and would recommend it to the cotton-candy-Princess-Diaries crowd, and anyone who survived high school without Shakespeare hatred.

 Movie I REALLY want to see, but it is rated-R. If you, someone you know, or someone someone else knows, knows where I can track down an edited copy I will reward you with five minutes of uninterrupted eye-contact.


 New favorite documentary. Scratch that, first favorite documentary, I’m  becoming more cerebral, therefore I must now watch documentaries. Also, I will probably start eating more soy-based products. If you are into abstract expressionism, or beautiful things at all, you should check this out. While you are at it, this website is awesome- http://www.jacksonpollock.org/ it does cool tricks.


Don’t judge.

sounds

Pretty much like Pandora on acid with a Crosby, Stills and Nash-y twist. Seriously the greatest cure for a music rut.  Your stereophonic universe will be revolutionized. ( This sounds like an ad, but I really love this site). http://www.stereomood.com/

Song I am currently obsessed with. It’s cute okay. Remember how we talked about the ‘not judging’ thing?

staples of my daily language intake

 
The Book Of Mormon

Another Testament of Jesus Christ. The most perfect book ever written. Seriously, my life. Curious? see the link above or ask.
New york times
http://www.nytimes.com/
Okay, the truth is not everyone can be as pretentious as me, but I do think it is important to read a newspaper everyday and to know what is going on in this wonderful world.
pride and prejudice
I am a female. That pretty much sums it up.

conclusion

There is a lot of good media in the world. Find it. Love it
