Summer Cinema in the Life of Cory


I live for experiences, both my own and the stories about those of others. In my efforts this past month to make the most of sick-days and Cory-time, I've tried to take in as many cinematic ones as I've had time to fit. This, by the way, was whenever I wasn't watching the entirety of the series Arrested Development. 

Recommended or discovered films I finally watched:
  1. An Education
  2. The Kids are Alright
  3. Little Miss Sunshine
  4. The Details
  5. She's the Man

And in the theater...
  1. Star Trek
  2. Now You See Me
  3. The Internship
Stay tuned for more typey stream-of-consciousness to follow on my favorite so far!

What I Think the Perfect Me-Day Looks Like

Late night reflections, Thursday May 9th Today could have been any other day. No particular importance is assigned to this date, it's no particular anniversary. It's a Thursday. I've been 24 for three full months. My car Duke's b-day is approaching, as are other markers around what was happening exactly one year ago this time of the year, but I don't need to write or reminisce about those [first date-y types of] things. Instead, today was the ideal version of a ME day. I was off work, which really did result in me missing my team, the Grove, my store, and my daily soul-feeding interactions with interesting people from around LA. But mostly I caught up on things I've been meaning to do, talked with friends I've been overdue on talking to, treated myself to some leisure and some fun. I even had a chance to do some writing before I go to bed. In the spirit of having a full and productive day, I woke up at 7am! What was I thinking, right? I had a Moroccan...

I RUN NP

First post of the new year beneath my new blog title*! *in progress. Feedback welcome. It's one week into the new year, and I feel no shame for spending it doing a little bit of reflecting, a tiny bit more indulging, plenty of financial planning, and listing my New Years Resolutions (blog post to follow). I've almost fully recovered from my celebratory New Years Eve, and other partying that ensued this past weekend. One of my resolutions is to achieve three musts - read, write and exercise (physically or mentally) - each day of 2014. I'm working a split shift today, so I asked myself on my drive into work at 6:30am: "What activity could feel better during my pseudo-day off than going for my first run of the year?" As it turns out, nothing could. I decided that one way to both track my fitness progress this year and hold myself accountable would be to use the Nike+ app for iPhone. A lot of my current and former co-workers use it, including Krysty (who motiva...

LIB Part 1: Food is Beautiful

Image
The Life is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas during the last weekend of October was a celebration of much more than just music. It highlighted so many of the riches in its name, Life: art, rock and roll, social entrepreneurship, community, and best of all... FOOD. One of the best parts of Chelsea's and my weekend in Las Vegas during LIB was all of the amazing eating, snacking and drinking we did throughout the Festival. It all began with our decision to stay in on Friday night, in preparation for the two straights days of debauchery and music-intake that we had ahead of us. We settled on ordering pizza and hydrating - with water only - because we thought we had a valid excuse to carbo-load. Pop-Up Pizza , circa LV, brought us two individual (yet definitely 12") pan pizzas that night, mine with spinach, soft white cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and roasted POTATOES. What?!    Some of the local places we tried included Nacho Daddy on Friday-day, the hip Tex-Mex bar and gr...
