all about eve.

1. 12. that's a nice even number. but it's still a really high number, don't ya think?
2. been doing homework all day! well, not all day, but a lot of the day. did some cleaning and some lanudry too (yes, i washed my sheets). 
3. part of my homework was to watch guess who's coming to dinner. i really liked the movie. then i went on wikipedia and read all about spender tracy and katharine hepburn. such an...interesting pair. 

talked with my roommate after about the "golden age" in hollywood. tracy made 75 films. 75. that is so many. and hepburn won 4/12 best actress nominations. actors and actresses like that don't exist in this day and age. i think it's because anyone can go to hollywood and audition for a part. it's just seen as part of the american dream that you can go become famous. but it takes such talent and such passion and such direction to become the kind of actor or actress that was in hollywood during the golden age of hollywood. so much of it now is all trashy and gross. it's like the only time hollywood is classy is during the academy awards. but i'm sure much of my perception is skewed because i wasn't alive during that time and had no idea about what was actually happening and what was being reported. but sometimes i feel nostalgic...but for a time i never even was alive during! isn't that strange? america was so backwards in some respects (still is now, it's just transferred to different groups). but it also seemed really...romantic. but not romantic like "aww, that's so cute," romantic like how the golden age of a country can be romantic. i am having a hard time explaining myself now, probably because i'm tired of looking at a computer screen. so my bucket list item for tonight: watch all the classic old movies.
