Moment in Black Excellence: Nayyirah Waheed

if 
the ocean 
can calm itself, 
so can you.
we 
are both 
salt water 
mixed with 
air.

I still cannot believe I missed the Spice Girls last night. I wanted to see them on my TV screen. I have been waiting for their performance at the closing ceremony ever since it was announced that they would be performing. To numb my blues I decided to indulge in my nostalgia. Here is a clip from Spice World . If I do find a video of their performance, I will share it with y'all.

My Life in Photos

I cannot believe that we are are in the middle of November. The year is almost over and one chapter of my life is coming to a close. By December I will have completed all of my courses to be eligible to graduate from my Master program. I just have to pass my comprehension exam and I will be a Master in Cinema Studies. Someone pinch me. While trying to succeed as a graduate student, I have been negligent with the upkeep of this blog. There were so many moments I wished I shared. Since it would be impossible now to do separate blog posts of those precious moments, here is my life in photos. Sunny day in London Bookstore on a river Greenwich Queen Time Those city views Brides and Bridges Photoville British Gardens Somewhere in Brooklyn My Trip to the Moon Vixen at the bar Happy Hour in London Austin I heart you Brunch in Austin Lunch time in Bristol Kids and Bubbles

Summer movie season has started with the release of the much anticipated X- Men Origins: Wolverine . I have been excited about this movie since I first heard about it last spring. It looks amazing and it is directed by the amazing Gavin Hood(Check out Tsotsi to his cinematic genius). However, I have been hearing not so excellent reviews from people who saw it, so my excitement has dwindled. For the most part there are not many movies that I am wetting my pants for. But the ones that I am excited for have got me in a complete frenzy. I am also dying because the best show on television is coming back next month. Yes I am talking about True Blood . Hell Yeah! My Top 5 5. Brüno I think Sasha Baron Cohen is the funniest man on the planet. I adored Brün...
