Long weeks, short weekends… this has been a long week, and the weekend will be short. I’m having a party tomorrow night, so the first half of the weekend is all about cleaning and shopping for the party, and then the second half of the weekend will be recovering from it. And it won’t even [...]

Atonal Hypnotoad
July 15th, 2011 · No Comments · Books, Movies, Music
It’s been a busy week with house showings. I am the very definition of ambivalent towards continued interest over the weekend. Of course I want people to come and see it (the odds of selling it go up with the number of people who have seen it), and I prefer that they come while it [...]

Feel Like Funkin’ It Up

Mardi Gras! I swear one of these years I am going to make it to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, or at least one of the earlier parades, or St. Joseph’s Day to see the Mardi Gras Indians. Also, in related news, I need to remember to make my dad record Treme for me when [...]

Tap
September 2nd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Movies, Rants/Raves
There’s not much that I love as much as great pairs tap dancing. I saw this next one on TCM last February- it’s Christopher Walken on Gene Kelly: The scene with Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor is here. It won’t embed. Go watch it, though. It’s great.

My Everest is 17 Days in a Row at the Gym
May 18th, 2010 · No Comments · Movies, Pointless Updates, Television
I’m still kind of testing the waters with regard to all of the posts that are now appearing here automatically from Twitter and Facebook and Flickr. They rely on plugins, not all of which work very well. I am not the greatest of hackers, so it takes me time to figure out why things aren’t [...]

Tracing That Line
May 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Books, Movies, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend
This weather is why I haven’t switched out my winter clothes for my summer clothes. In August, in the middle of the hottest part of summer, when I think back and wonder why I was still wearing sweaters in mid-May, I am kind of astonished at the idea. It’s just hard to fathom, as it [...]

Avoiding One to See The Other
April 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Gardening, Movies
There I was, blogging not long ago about how nice the yard looked. It’s amazing how quickly that changes, isn’t it? I mean, I can clean the house and if I leave it alone for a week or two, it will stay clean, dust notwithstanding. (I am pretty sure this is the case, though I [...]

True/False Weekend
March 1st, 2010 · No Comments · Movies, What I Did Last Weekend
Oh, I had such a good weekend! I am so disappointed in myself that this is only my first year attending True/False. What an idiot I was, avoiding it in the past! Although I do have to say that it is the kind of thing that you have to make a commitment to do. A [...]

Metonymy
February 18th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Movies
The AV Club had a post today about Synecdoche, New York, the Charlie Kaufman movie that came out in fall 2008. I saw that movie at Ragtag when it finally made its way to Columbia. In fact, I think it was the first film I saw at the new Ragtag theater. Anyway, I haven’t seen [...]

AFI Lists Goal Updates
February 16th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Movies
I finally watched Lawrence of Arabia this past weekend, which means that I’ve seen all top 10 of the AFI movies on both lists. I’d tried watching it a couple of years ago but only made it about an hour into the film (which constitutes about 1/4 of the entire movie). I have even owned [...]
