i am unique, not yet complete.

we're all faced with boundaries. whether in work, home or love. for some, a perimeter is easily respected and understood. but for the rest, some things just can't be tamed or enclosed despite rationalized by the purist of intensions or reasons.

extinction is approaching. fight it.

in any meaningful relationship, a certain amount of back and forth between feelngs is normal. 100% certainty while ideal, isn't always realistic. however, if you're starting to notice an alarming trend of bad days overwhelming the good, then perhaps it's time to throw in the towel and wish them the very best.

this summer i'll make it up to you.

it is without shame or care that i admit how much i adore this show.

best looking cast on tv, with the exception of winston. ((sorry dude))

that's life. you can't pick out the pieces that you don't like.

not only does this guy have the BEST MONIKER EVER, but tell me this track doesn't bang.

we gave colors names and it messed with our brains.

monday i was surrounded by a varying scale of scottish accents as i was sent to cover both the brave press junket and world premiere. it was my last event for the LA film fest and with disney famous for pulling out all of the stops when it comes to high profile movies, it was (as always) my pleasure to participate.

all this randomness is leading to a perfect moment.

i can't express how obsessed i am with this trailer. august 3rd can't come here soon enough.

meet me in the wildest moments, you can be the greatest.

in my own experience, days devoted to being wild have always left me with the best memories.

it's one o'clock in the morning and you're buzzing like a honeybee.

somewhere in-between the most entertaining work day (scroll down for deets), i received an email saying that i won mayer hawthorne tickets courtesy of the scenestar. so after doing the movie thing for most of friday, i nightcapped back into the arms of the love of my life - music.

after seeing my future husby more times than i can count, i have to say that this was their sharpest performance. kudos mr. hawthorne and HYFR to winning free tickets!

and so concluded the best day i've had in forever.

slow down, let this feeling last.

after weaving through traffic from mid city to DTLA in friday's infamous blend of rush hour traffic (and carefully charging my flip cam in the front seat), i posted up at the red carpet of the los angeles film festival. my first experience at the LAFF was with two back-to-back premieres - beasts of the southern wild and people like us.

there is no progress in love. it will always be a surprise.

i've been lucky enough to experience a lot of fun and random situations in just my third month of employment. but on friday, i jumped head first into a marathon of press and absorbed every delightful moment. spending the afternoon at the four season in beverly hills, i attended my first press junket for the upcoming dreamworks picture, people like us starring chris pine, elizabeth banks, olivia wilde and michelle pfeiffer.

armed with a voice recorder, a flip cam and notes galore, i nervously sat in on four roundtable discussions and executed two individual interviews with director alex kurtzman and soundtrack contributor liz phair. being the rookie i am, i was interested and impressed by the talent in the movie as well as the other press outlets around me. disney hospitality was on point and kept things running smoothly.

btw, elizabeth banks was even more beautiful in person. go avery jessup!

everything you need is right here.

sometimes it may take me a second to find a genuine reason to care about what people are saying. but when i get there, it's virtually impossible for me to evacuate that space or affection.

whatever happened to the times?

when your brain is bogged down with the stresses of life, it can often lead to a feeling of imbalance. this rut is a breeding ground for quietly fading into backgrounds and moody corners. you float between feelings of uselessness or the unnecessary until your presence is only felt in passing, like fading shadows.

let's get back to where we started off.

the idea of forever is the great divide. some people hate knowing the outcome of something, especially it's length. but others, they yearn and hope that they'll never have to live without some things.

the debut video from sister trio haim, leans towards the latter explanation packaged with an assortment of cute white girl dancing.

the lovers, the dreamers and me.

my job allows me to see a lot of movies. so far they've all been highly anticipated blockbusters or big studio backed films. so it was nice to spend some time and money on a movie that i felt not only deserved my attention, but ultimately won my affection.

safety not guaranteed is carved with genuine intentions and framed with a sentimental warmth. it features a lovely chemistry between its two leads, with the stellar aubrey plaza anchoring the film's emotional depth. on friday, movie goers were treated to a special cast Q&A where i asked mark duplass about improving vs. the script and ambushed aubrey plaza for a ridiculously enthusiastic photo.

turns out when you recommend a film with a special Q&A attached to your friends, they're also going to want to check it out. so on saturday i got to ask jake johnson about being comfortable playing drunk on film.

seek this movie out. you deserve it.

these streets will never look the same.
