I miss tea and scones from London. I studied abroad in Cardiff last year, and every time I would visit my boyfriend in London, I had to get afternoon tea. There is this great place called Bea's of Bloomsbury in Islington. Their tea was served with warm scones and fresh clotted cream. The place literally had three tables so It was always a wait to sit down, but soo worth it.

This may be just me, but I find this quote to be true satire in context of the film. In the film, Martha May is unable to find peace due to her traumatizing past on the farm. But I believe she has always been at war with herself. Her fears imprison her, and cause her to be in a perpetual state of unhappiness. To me, the film is about discontent. No matter where she goes, or who she's with, she is unhappy. She is always fighting something, always struggling. This is her glory in the film. This hypothesis may not explain all of her behavior, but it can give us some insight on how to explain the "intent" of her behavior (in the words of my acting professor). 

Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.

(Aldous Huxley, Brave New World)

I love Caroline Polachek. For an indie darling her voice is very distinctive as she sounds nothing like those high pitched whispering fairies that are so prevalent nowadays. She has a great presence but at the same time is very "normal" seeming and chill. I must take notes!

Jean-Luc Godard, Pierrot le fou (1965)

Hello Hello.This entire album is beautiful. With so many Indie pop artists making music right right, I personally think that Metronomy is one of the best. When I listen to them, I picture myself in a beautiful country, on a beautiful beach, soaking up the sun, or in a car buzzing down a winding mountaintop road, wind in my hair, not a care in the world. This makes me want to make a french new wave film with Metronomy as the soundtrack. I just bought a Canon rebel T3i and I’m so excited.
