Eternal Art for the Heartless Mind: I know I know. But I'm still glad we had this time together

Hello One and All!
It has been quite a while since my last post, and I must say times have been achangin'. That's from a Bob Dylan song. And as usual his words speak to me.

Any who, I am officially leaving Belmont University. Life there has been interesting to say the least and after a lot of floundering, I finally figured out my purpose, musical theater. Therefore, in October, I am moving to NYC to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy for their integrated conservatory program. I am going to miss pieces of Nashville, but it is time to cut the cord. That also means it is time to adjust my blog's purpose. From now on, I will continue to discuss art,movies, and music, but I will also include blogs on fashion, books, and preparing to moving around 700 miles away from my family. This is a huge step for me, and I looking forward to it with both eyes open and ready for the unbelievable amount of work that is ahead of me.

And know this, as soon as I arrive with my new roommates, who I ironically made friends with at my audition into this school, I will be blasting every New York New York type song until my itunes runs out them. That means New York, New York- Liza Minnelli, New York, New York- Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly from On the Town; Empire State of Mind from Alicia Keys and Jay-Z.
Until then however....

This summer comes what we have all been waiting for!!
Twilight's Eclipse
Iron Man 2
Sex and the City 2
The A Team
Toy Story 3
And rounding out the summer season is Eat Pray Love

I am so ready for the summer! There is at least one movie for every person this summer. From the indie to the action blockbuster, this could really be a summer of epic proportions at the movies. Go forth and prosper!

Just started a new book! I know it has been forever since I could read purely for pleasure and nothing else, and my chosen read is Greywalker by Kat Richardson. The plot is as follows, a Seattle PI a woman who is very tall and amazon like gets beaten up on a case that technically leaves her dead for two minutes. After that she is able to go from our world to sort of a spirit realm, which leaves her open to all kinds of things bad and good. So far there are two main male characters not sure if she gets it on with either of them, but I am hopeful. So far so good, I am only about 155 pages in, and there is still that amount left, so I can't tell whether it is a good read, but at 3.98 from Borders, it is certainly a cheap one. Massive stand of clearance books at Borders on West End right now, so check it out if you can.

My new favorite trend that I haven't seen much so far, since there is a ridiculous amount of rain drenching the entire state of TN, is the vintage summer dress. Personally the summer dress is a favorite of mine any time of year. But in the summer, especially here in Nashville even shorts are too restraining. Basically it is best to let it all breathe and be free so to speak. Therefore I wear many dresses. You can do all sorts of things with them as well. The summer dress can be dressed up or down depending on your mood, and with millions of patterns and colors can be worn hundreds of ways. I tend to prefer solids so I can work in a whole lot of accessories, but others like large prints and minimal accessories. Adding earrings, a hat, or even putting your hair in a ponytail can completely alter a summer dress. And you can find summer dresses everywhere from vintage shops to Goodwills, even Target or Wal-mart!
For instance....
Ashley Tisdale simply pins her hair back (Chicstories.com)

Or perhaps Rachel Bilson, who dare I say it is one of the queens of the summer dress? She wears a large bag, sunglasses has her hair up but still keeps the accessories to a minimum.
