1 AWKWARD. RETURNS - So I’m really excited about watching the season premiere of MTV’s awkward. That show is hilarious! I’m all Team Jake and all, but the last few episodes made me really sort of like Matty.

Anyways. It premieres on Thursday. Check, check it.

2 MOONRISE KINGDOM - This weekend I watched the new Wes Anderson film “Moonrise Kingdom.” I really loved the way the film was shot. Like the way the camera panned across and transitioned through scenes. Also loved their candid dance scene, the 60’s fashion, and the performances of the actors. Edward Norton was great. Absolutely loved it.

I’m not too familiar with Wes Anderson films, but I think I may go through a refresher. Work my way backwards, starting with “Fantastic Mr. Fox.”

3 PRETTY LITTLE LIARS - I needed to break the monotony of tear-jerking “Dawson’s Creek” with a little bit of modern day teen mystery. So I started “Pretty Little Liars.” Maybe I should jump on the young adult book series bandwagon. Everyone is looking there for films/TV (Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, Gossip Girl, etc). If only I became an author like I wanted to. When I was a kid, I loved books so much that’s what I wanted to be. I was such a nerd.

That’s besides the point. Also - small note: that Wren guy is pretty hot. It might be because he’s British and wear Jack Purcells. Hahaha - what can I say :)

4 FUN. FAIL - I’ve been meaning to buy concert tickets to fun. but I kept putting it off. Now all three LA shows are sold out. I’m kind of sad because I really wanted to see them live again. And it would’ve been a smashing way to ring in my birthday. But my procrastination got the best of me.

There is a show in Portland that I’m thinking about going to. Maybe making it a week vacation and just chill in a new city. But it’s like back-to-back to a concert I’m going to in Monterrey, CA. Which I’m really excited to see Mumford with a bunch of my friends. But planning a trip to Oregon right next to a five hour road trip is kind of a tight squeeze. What to do, what to do …

5 PLAYING CATCHUP - It’s almost the end of June and I’m still playing catchup with life. I don’t know why this month was so busy, but it has. I had all these plans to get ahead on everything but that totally didn’t happen. And I think my body wore out. I think I’m in serious need of Jo Time.

I remember when I used to work at RELEVANT and sometime we’d go through seasons where I just couldn’t get ahead of all my tasks. And all I did was maintain. Like that’s how I’d describe the last couple months there. Just maintaining what I could with everything that was going on and expected of me.

Well, that’s how I feel now. Like I can’t get ahead, but I’m maintaining. Still trying to figure out how to get this massive task list in my head out and get things done. It’ll happen! Maybe after a trip to B&N and an hour of magazine flipping. That always seems to help.
