In an effort to get some fun blogging in, I’m taking inspiration (read: totally ripping off) Dani Hampton’s, “Currently” series. That’s okay. She lovingly ripped it off from someone else. So here’s the first installation of Monday Night Digs! Don’t forget to let me know what you’re digging in the comment section!

One of the things I love about life is perspective and how your views shift as you get older. Who I was a few years ago is not who I am today. Who I am today is not who I’m going to be in five years. At my core, I’ll always be me—kind of dorky, a lot stubborn, and intensely curious—but as I get older, I’ll change. I have changed. I think it’s a beautiful thing.

In honor of the end of the year and nearly being a quarter of a century old, I’m going to try out the resolution thing. Let’s not call them resolutions, though, let’s just think of them as random hopes for 2011 that are subject to change.

Sexuality is another way to categorize people (and ourselves), and that’s okay, to a point. I can’t deny that it isn’t something I wonder about whenever a new person comes into my life. I don’t spend hours contemplating, Is he? or Isn’t he? but I’m almost certain that at some point, even if it’s only for a few seconds, I think about it.

When your dad is a cop, you learn a few things. You learn how to read people. You learn how to assess your environment, keeping an eye out for the closest exit. You learn how to tell a good lie (short, plausible, don’t drop too many details at once or else you just look guilty). You learn that sometimes, the lines between “good” and “bad” are blurred. You learn that cops hate doughnut jokes.

I’ve been a fan of Louis Garrel‘s ever since he appeared in The Dreamers. I’ve tried to keep up with his work, but my local theaters don’t usually feature French films. Damn them. I have been waiting to see Les Chansons D’Amour for a few years and just recently found the entire thing on youtube! God bless the Internet.
