Catholic in Film School

Being enrolled in film school means that there are plenty of days when I walk around campus looking less than fabulous. As I edit a movie, stay up until 4 am to finish a screenwriting assignment, or otherwise agonize over some film-related project…well, it takes its toll on ya girl. Below is the clip [...]

Celebrity News
In the super-awesome lead story of the post…
Actor Jim Caviezel went and got all Christ-like on us again (hehe…get it?)….He and his wife Kerry have adopted their second disabled child from China…Kerry Caviezel was on last week’s episode of Life on the Rock to talk about the adoption…and might I just add an obligatory [...]

…Only this time it’s 1:27am….
At the moment I’m having a potentially over dramatic personal life crisis/freak out. Don’t worry, I have them every now and then, they’re normal and I need them. So here’s today’s problem: I don’t know what I’m doing with my life. Pretty big, I know.
I’ve been thinking about my JP [...]

I’m a traitor.
I’m a traitor because I had a jolly good time at JP Catholic on Friday. A part of me was kind of hoping something would go wrong, but I left loving the place, and would encourage all Catholics to look into this school.
Since it’s a new school, currently they only [...]

Yes, I am fully aware that’s not the name of the film, but throughout the entire movie that little voice inside my head kept going, “Oh Prince Caspian, you’re so dreamy!”
I’m kidding.
The movie starts off with the birth of Prince Caspian’s nephew. It’s now been a thousand-and-something years since the “sons and daughters [...]

I apologize for not blogging these past couple of days, but it’s because I’ve been working like a maniac.
My editor at the newspaper I write for is working on a new book that I am helping to edit and assemble together. It’s a good job that I enjoy (this is the third book I’ve [...]

I met him, and I still haven’t lived the embarrassment down.
You know when you do something so stupid you can’t even believe you did it yourself? Well hold on to your rosaries for this story…
So last Friday the 9th was Bacclaureate Mass, the annual final mass of the year for the graduating seniors. It was [...]

I have a supernatural gift for stumbling upon the most random websites on the internet.
Behold the Mother’s Day gift you wish you had gotten!

You can have the papal sexytime thong for only $11.99. But if the pope isn’t to your liking, how about some Marian sexytime?
And don’t worry dads, your day is coming [...]

I guess I’m going to have to start calling my house “my Mom’s house in San Diego” because at the moment I’m incredibly homesick, and by homesick I mean I want to go back to LA.
Last summer, it wasn’t until the middle of July when I started whining that I was ready to go [...]

It’s 12:52 am Southern Cali time.
I should be sleeping because I have to be up for sacristan duties at 8 am, but I can’t sleep because I’m thinking about this past academic year. Let’s see…
I started this school year, my second at LMU, in August 2007 at 18 years old. I was a little emotionally [...]

Well, I can’t say I’m surprised:

Bella is the No. 1 pre-sale romantic movie on Amazon.com. The pro-life film, which is available on DVD today, earned the “People’s Choice Award” at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival.
Eduardo Verastegui, the star of Bella, told CBN News: “I think it’s a wonderful tool to spread the word [...]

Pretty awesome if I do say so myself:

“Bella” hits stores today. If you go by bus, air, Ebay–whatever…just go get it. Congrats to the entire Metanoia team.

And as a random aside, congratulations to Joshua and Shannon of The Perseverance Podcast who are celebrating their third wedding anniversary today. Three cheers for Catholic love!

This week is my last as a sophomore.
(Help me Lord, help me!)
Last Friday, I gave a group presentation in my theology class on female religious life, and let me tell you….it was awful. There were some major problems within the group, and I and some of the others had to pick up the slack [...]

I’m going to SQPN’s Catholic New Media Celebration in June. How about you?
