Also dancing, monochromatic colour schemes, wearing every pattern in the world at the same time, grocery shopping, autumn, Canadian comedic television shows, bad movies and Korean pop music. Among a billion other things.

Send me an email. But only if you think I’ll like it.

She got it at a Russian film festival in 1988. It’s kind of amazing. Also, that’s how I’m wearing my hair now, like I just don’t give a fuck.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sun is out today. I teach tomorrow morning and need to mark quizzes and prepare the review. I’m kinda loving it. I also love &lt;a href="http://www.last.fm" target="_blank"&gt;Last.fm&lt;/a&gt;. It is my favourite way to find new music. I used to ask &lt;a href="http://www.jamiemckelvie.com" target="_blank"&gt;Jamie McKelvie&lt;/a&gt; for new music, but lately he’s been useless! But, his girlfriend* works for Last.fm, so it’s almost as if I’m like, F you, McKelvie, &lt;a href="http://www.hannahdonovan.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Hannah&lt;/a&gt;’s gonna find me some amazing music since you failed so miserably! The way &lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/user/katiewest" target="_blank"&gt;I do&lt;/a&gt; it is listen to the radio station of a band I like, or the library of a person I like. (I think you might have to have a paid subscription to do these things, but it’s totally worth it.) Right now I am listening to The xx Radio, because The xx is probably my latest favourite band. Oh wait, okay, McKelvie told me about them, so he’s partially forgiven.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alright then, on with the day! (Ha! This is funny because it’s 1:30 pm. But I already went to the grocery store and ate lunch and watched an episode of Supernatural. That was just the preamble to the day though, it for real starts…now!)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;* Sorry ladies and gents, Jamie McKelvie is not comics most swinging bachelor, as we all liked to believe. You can still dream though, of his pale, British, awkward charm and SWOON.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://therealkatiewest.tumblr.com/post/258507429</link><guid>http://therealkatiewest.tumblr.com/post/258507429</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:37:00 -0500</pubDate><category>people i know</category><category>life</category><category>music</category></item><item><title>bibliotheque:

&lt;p&gt;A woman, unless she is an idiot, sooner or later meets a piece of human wreckage and tries to rescue him. She sometimes succeeds. But a woman, unless she is an idiot, sooner or later finds a sane, healthy man and makes a wreck of him. She always succeeds.&lt;/p&gt;

We’d never met but she sent me a picture of herself when I asked on my blog for people to get naked for me and I thought she was fascinating to look at. She came to my door in a leather jacket and cowboy boots, wet from the rain and yes, she was indeed fascinating to look at.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I love everything about this photo. I tried to google the name in the corner there, Audry A. Tych, but can’t find anything. But I wish I could, if this photo is any indication of how the rest of their photos are, (if that name is even the photographers name) I feel I need to see them…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edit: A kind reader pointed out it is Andry A. Tych, and so I found the site. &lt;a href="http://www.tych.ru/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.tych.ru/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This includes, but is not limited to: defining love and relationships, being so damn self-aware, trying to make you self-aware, hoping for more, wanting more, worrying that you think everything is about you, worrying that you don’t know that everything is about you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to give it a rest, but I know I’ll be right back at it tomorrow. Would I have it any other way? I don’t know, I can’t think about it yet. I guess tomorrow I’ll decide.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://therealkatiewest.tumblr.com/post/255244685</link><guid>http://therealkatiewest.tumblr.com/post/255244685</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:02:34 -0500</pubDate><category>photography</category><category>prophecy</category></item><item><title>My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2009-11-22)</title><description>My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2009-11-22):
