It is an examination of accidental and cultivated loneliness, a narrative of a boy and later a man who is too adept at adapting to different environments, a reflection on relationships and popularity and a need for attention and love that clashes with a need to walk through unfamiliar neighborhoods alone.

Natalie Dormer and Gene Tierney With HBO's massively successful fantasy series Game of Thrones finally over and a whole slew of spinoff series coming down the pipeline soon enough , many fans of the show are left wondering what star Natalie Dormer will do next. For instance, they've starred in the Ocean's film series and Burn After Reading. Here's What to Expect for the Super Bowl. It can't be denied that everyone knows her name. It can sometimes feel like society has hit a new level of boy craziness sometimes. Lea Michele and Naya Rivera The cast of Glee was riddled with as much in-house drama as a real-life glee club. When Lea Michele started gaining a massive fanbase, other characters started receiving fewer lines and less-important storylines. If more than one person in your household wants to vote, each person will need to create a personal ABC account. More than one person can use the same computer or device to vote, but each person needs to log out after voting. The achievement or service doesn't involve participation in aerial flight, and it can occur during engagement against a U. As such, it must be said that both these two stars deserve far more praise than they typically receive. As it turns out, the coffee business didn't quite work out.

No pressure. Really. Love, Mama, Mimi, Alex, Maggie, & Corona CHAPTER ONE The year everything changed seemed to start out happily enough. I rang in the new year with Dez, my best friend since Women’s Studies 101 freshman year at University of Michigan, and Maddie, my girlfriend of two and a half years who I was thinking of asking to move in with me on Valentine’s Day. We stood together on the deck at another friend’s party in downtown Ann Arbor, my arms looped around each of their necks, humming along to “Auld Lang Syne” and shivering as we watched fireworks light up the clear, unusually snow- free sky. None of us knew the words to the penultimate New Year’s Eve tune, but that didn’t matter. Sure, I was another year closer to thirty without having accomplished much that other people—my family, specifically—would consider significant. But I had a pair of jobs that I liked, my best buddy at my side, and a future planned with the woman I loved.

  • Bruce Barton
    Bruce Barton Subjectivity<>Culture<>Communications<>Intermedia: a meditation on the “impure interactions” of performance and the “in-between” space of intimacy in a wired world This“meditation”pursues four objectives.The first is to provide an introduction to a variety of psychological interpretations of the concept of intimacy in terms of its motivations, characteristics, and functions within the larger understanding of the construction, maintenance, and expansion of the“self” in relationship and inter- action. The second objective is to attempt to locate these psycho- logical observations on intimacy within broader socio-anthropo- logical frameworks, in order to consider if and how they are mani- fest in cultural and ideological developments.The third objective is to overlay these initial findings with multiple theories of commun- ications and media influence on individuals and communities, as they relate to the reformation of and potential for intimacy in contemporary mediatized societies. The pursuit here is of a composite “logic” of resonance, interconnection, and generalized causality within these overlapping evolutionary spheres (psychol- ogy, sociology, communications). The fourth objective is to eluci- date (as opposed to“define”) the elusive concept of intermedia as it is understood, analyzed, and enacted by contemporary practition- ers and theorists, with a particular emphasis on the role of intim- acy in terms of intention, design, and experience. Finally, the emerging theoretical insights generated are tentatively applied to a performance by the intermedial, site-specific performance troupe Bluemouth Inc.Presents.In the process of these inquiries,I hope to establish intermedia—and, specifically, intermedial intimacy—as the recognizable (though not necessarily inevitable) offspring of the previously explored personal, cultural, and ideological devel- opments.
