This blog is the dumbest fucking idea in the world. What was I thinking? Here’s my impression of me: “Ooh, my name’s Molly Laich. I’m going to post my feelings on the internet all day every day from 1997 to 2012 and beyond. I’m going to use my real first and last name so any [...]

don’t send help.

October 11th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

Yesterday morning we were out of coffee, which I hate. It took everything I had to power my body down to the Safeway. I thought I’d take just one of the dogs with me, so I took Edward, the handsome beagle. I tied him to the bike rack as if he were the horse I [...]

On Not Writing

September 27th, 2012 · 7 Comments · Uncategorized

Writers will say, “There’s no such thing as writer’s block,” or “I don’t believe in writer’s block.” Okay. Well. What’s it called when every time I write a sentence it’s the worst sentence I’ve ever written, and this happens so consistently that soon I become afraid of the page itself, until the doubt gives way [...]

July 9th, 2012 · 5 Comments · Uncategorized

Here’s every Woody Allen feature film (not including some shorts, made for tv stuff, things he wrote but didn’t direct, etc.) ranked in the order I most like them. At some point in a young girl’s life, you simply say to yourself, “God damnit, I’m going to watch every Woody Allen film ever made.” And [...]

shit I can’t get over right now, part 1.

1. Paul the Octopus picked all the winners in the 2010 World Cup! Of the final games, Paul the octopus picked 8 of 8 winners correctly. I had to look up how to do probabilities to figure out how likely that would be by random chance. .5 is the probability that the team he guesses is [...]

let’s not make a big deal about the new year, 2012 edition.

January 4th, 2012 · 6 Comments · Uncategorized

Here’s some lists for 2012! Social lessons I learned in 2011: 1. You know, I don’t think men like it when you are very blunt and autistic about sexual things. Like, say you’re hanging out and it seems as though things are moving towards pants coming off… I used to think they would find it [...]

Best Adapted Screenplay

April 20th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Uncategorized

Back, baby. Back to not wanting to read all of these student stories and so blogging instead. I couldn’t help but feel a bruising of my ego when everyone’s comments on the last post amounted to, “you should see this film,” as though I were a cinematic idiot. There are 100 films on both of [...]

I’m afraid of failure and so pathologically engage in distractions from doing schoolwork. Here’s a list of all the best original screenplay academy award nominations from when I was in first grade to the present. You’ll need a legend: Bold indicates winner. Italics denotes my preference. Asterisks* means I have not seen this film. 1990 [...]

how I spent my writer’s vacation.

March 30th, 2011 · 10 Comments · Uncategorized

I live in Montana; it’s fucking stupid beautiful. “The last best place,” important writers have said. You can rent a cabin in the woods at Lolo Hot Springs with a weird bunk bed and an electrical outlet for 35 dollars a night. So I cancelled my Wednesday morning class and I fucking drove myself out [...]
