Saturday, November 24, 2012. The Owl and the Pussycat" (Edward Lear). The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea. In a beautiful pea-green boat,. They took some honey, and plenty of money,. Wrapped up in a five-pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above,. And sang to a small guitar,. O Pussy, my love,. What a beautiful Pussy you are,. What a beautiful Pussy you are! Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! Too long we have tarried:. Here is a great re...

Modern Misfit: January 2013
http://maddie-modernmisfit.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 21, 2013. 2012 Movies in Review: Something Old. I saw A LOT of movies this last year. (When you work in Hollywood, you tend to do a lot of "research.") I already posted about all of the ones that were released in 2012, but those are only a fraction of what I actually watched (thank you, Netflix! 2006) - * * *. One of my favorite films. Stars Lee Pace and Cantinca Untaru. Visually stunning (and when I say that, I really mean it! Our Vines Have Tender Grapes. 2004) - * *. Directed by St...

Modern Misfit: The (pink fluorescent) Gaslight
http://maddie-modernmisfit.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-pink-fluorescent-gaslight.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. The (pink fluorescent) Gaslight. However, there is one thing that plagues me with a vengeance. Dare I say that it has even driven me to near-madness? I know the light is broken - it flickers on and off and maintains a pinkish hue. But I can't help thinking someone placed it there on purpose. For months, I have felt like I'm being driven incrementally insane, just like Ingrid Bergman in the movie Gaslight. Or that velociraptors were trying to get to me. Same difference, right?

Modern Misfit: Poster Child
http://maddie-modernmisfit.blogspot.com/2013/02/poster-child.html
Wednesday, February 6, 2013. My walls have been and always will be plastered with pieces of paper of all sorts - photos, calendar pages, movie posters, prints, framed artifacts from days long gone. I've always been this way.I believe it started sometime around the time Dad brought home a cloth Korean-knock-off Winnie the Pooh, or maybe when I snagged a manatee poster from the near-pagan. Earth Day celebration at my catholic. Senior year - coffee / beige color walls. Tolerable. Anyway, I developed...Post-...

Modern Misfit: June 2013
http://maddie-modernmisfit.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 1, 2013. Saying "Adieu" to the Vue. This was another post the suffered "publication delays" due to a busy work schedule, a bout of some unexpected allergy-cold-mutant-infection, and a general lack of inspiration derived from the two aforementioned obstacles to my productivity. And yet here I am 2 months later, finally typing out a retrospective on a major milestone in the modern coming-of-age ritual: the great car hunt. Or the U.S.S. Enterprise. On second thought, scrap the Star Trek.

Modern Misfit: The Lamp Post
http://maddie-modernmisfit.blogspot.com/p/lamp-post.html
This page will serve as the proem (epic introduction) to this blog and may be edited from time to time. I would have titled it "Introduction," but seriously, where's the fun in that? Well, you probably have a few questions about why the heck I'm even doing this, so let's just get down to business. How did I arrive at "Modern Misfit" for the blog name? Read the introduction, and (lo and behold! There it was on page XVI (see, I'm even citing it). (Thank you, Dr. Gamble! Why use a Victorian lamp post? And w...

Modern Misfit: February 2013
http://maddie-modernmisfit.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 15, 2013. And Now For Something Completely Different. I've been lazy on the blogging front. (And, to quote one of the many vapid, illiterate reality show contestants out there, "words are hard.") So, while I'm busy working on post drafts in various stages of completion, please enjoy this: A friend of mine sent me an old Boba Fett figurine for my birthday. Viktor Ricardo needed a buddy. I'll let the pictures speak (mostly) for themselves. Follow me, FRIEND! Labels: From Out of Nowhere.

Modern Misfit: July 2012
http://maddie-modernmisfit.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Above the Sea of Clouds. This is the marine layer." Hehe. For those of you not familiar with Orange County, Palos Verdes is a high, hilly peninsula that juts out at the south end of Santa Monica Bay. It tends to be a very posh neighborhood, similar to Franklin Village or Birmingham in metro-Detroit. Needless to say, we saw some pretty impressive "estates" (I hesitate to call them "houses" . they seemed a little too grand for that.). Does it not delight the imagination? The Complet...
