Mildly entertaining.

I was about to give up on this blog yesterday and then I saw this:



This is mildly on FOREVER,
Cathy

She's a mild rainbow.

Yep, that's me on a normal Sunday afternoon in my mild apartment.

Keeping it mildly colorful,
C.

Mildly Marching for you.

Because nothing's more mild than Facetiming with your high school BFF in another state/on another coast.

And then posting it on your blog.

Good night,
C.

Girls Gone Superbowl Sunday

Yeah, I know that was TWO WEEKS AGO, but I've been having too mildly of a good time to give you a proper update.

Superbowl Sunday, Christin Turner (one of my favorite music video directors--we'll watch something from her in a bit) and I took a trip to LACMA to see the In Wonderland exhibit: The Surrealist Adventures of Women Artists in Mexico and the United States. Because you know, that's what mild ladies do on Superbowl Sunday.

When she first arrived, she had to talk me down from the ugly ledge that was SHORTS AND UGGS:

And what would we do at my place when all I have going for me here is this mild-girl-bachelor-fridge?

Um...

Here's C.T. before we even left my apartment, sitting under my AFFIRMATIONS. No big mild deal.

Once we got to LACMA, there was A LOT to look at. Mildly best way to spend a Sunday.

But like always, I mildly had time to self-portrait in the bathroom. (One day, I will move beyond this.)

This was one of my favorite pieces. I had mildly fantasized about this image my entire life, but never knew how to even go about making it happen. So I was happy to see that my fantasy painting already existed.

If you're wondering who it's by:

We were however, mildly underwhelmed by the Chris Burden METROPOLIS piece. (Sorry, it's blurry, but trust me, you're not missing much, Burden fans.)

But then some light art in the permanent collection got us going again (well, mildly going):

Like awesome mild ladies, we were excited that the full moon was a-coming:

Afterwards, we kept the mild factor going and saw PINA IN 3-D where I looked like this. And yes, I had to drink movie theater coffee because I worried about falling asleep after all the women painter excitement which really took it out of me. (Kidding, it was awesome, but I was mildly sleepy by the end of it and we did have some martinis somewhere in there.)

P.S. Here's one of Christin's beautiful videos for the amazing Dum Dum Girls:



Until we mildly meet again

On the first mild WEEK without Facebook...

1. I fell in love with M.I.A. harder than I ever have before.

(Evidence A)


(Evidence B)


2. I realized I'm my Mom's daughter every time I send out a link to a depressing news article. Maybe if I told my Mom she could read about depressing things and share them with friends, she would use email more. KIDDING. But seriously, my Mom and me both equally love a DEPRESSING STORY.

3. This woman is so great, it makes me want to cry:



I seriously don't understand what's happening, but it's incredible.

4. I haven't talked to my college roommate in way too long. CELESTE L., if you're reading this, CALL ME.

5. Mildly Not Safe For Work, but I love this music video director:



Claire Edmondson, please make more things.

6. According to like a million different astrologers and horoscopes, I NEED to go out Thursday. I have now asked EVERYONE I KNOW what is happening on Thursday and think I should either go to:

a) a screening of experimental short films

b) an indy film screening

c) a comedy show

d) an art museum

e) after any of these not panning out, A BAR.

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?!!?

7. Got emailed for full moon burn list advice. MY REPUTATION is obviously at its highest point. Um...

8. The thought that I might watch this every day as a pep talk:

GIRLS RUN THE WORLD and I'm not talking about the Beyonce video

9. In response to the question, do you have any dietary restrictions, I wrote the following, ensuring I will not get anymore dinner party invites for the year:

I don't like to eat things with faces (i.e. fish with eyes or a luau style pig on a roasting stick...ha! it's true though. or things that I have to crack like lobster or shellfish, etc.) Basically, while I eat meat, I have only been doing so for the last 2 years and am still easing into the reality that these were once living creatures. Omg.

That being said, I love vegetarian food and meaty food where I can't see faces, eyes, legs or tails.

10. A friend sent me a Groupon for a SPRAY TAN and all I could think was...WHAT WOULD I LOOK LIKE WITH A SPRAY TAN?!

Dressed to mildly kill,
Cathy
