Yes! So! I was supposed to maybe go to Minnesota this weekend, and that fell through. I have an unexpected empty weekend in front of me for which I have already made a list of things I could do (involving tax preparations, even!). I don’t know if I will actually do these things, but I [...]

So Here It Is, Merry Christmas
December 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, Movies
Everybody’s having fun! I am having fun, ingesting far too many calories so far. Wonderful Christmas, with my coworker bringing cake balls (I LOVE CAKE BALLS!) at least twice in the past two weeks, and other coworkers bringing cookies and treats, and tins of popcorn, and I have some treats in my bag for everyone [...]

Like a Social Butterfly Fluttering By
December 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, Movies
The holidays are making a lot of people lazy. I’ve noticed a major decrease in the number of blog postings in my RSS feeder in the past few days. I will try not to be one of those lazy bloggers. So here’s a post! This week has been uncharacteristically busy for me. I have been [...]

Marlon Brando Is Christmas-Shopping For Me This Year
December 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Holidays, Movies, Music
I highly recommend the Christmas Blues genre station on Pandora, if you’re looking for some new Christmas music. Lovely and lacking in sentimental schmaltz. I’m not a fan of schmaltz, as a general rule. I bought a new Christmas album, as I seem to do every year, but it hasn’t arrived despite the fact that [...]

I Loved That Movie So Much
November 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Movies
I loved A Serious Man. I loved it, loved it, loved it. I just loved it. I have such respect for the Coen Brothers. It’s so completely obvious how much work is put into every single shot, which are always exactly perfectly framed and exactly perfectly composed and then edited together with such precision. They [...]

Cold Weather and the Media I Consume

It has been rainy and chilly for the past couple of days, but it is supposed to be warmer and sunny this weekend. My fall clothes have been getting a workout, including a new pair of knee-high boots that I bought a few weeks ago. I just love them. I’ve been wearing them at least [...]

I’m Pretty Awesome
August 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Movies, Photography, What I Did Last Weekend
After a few weeks of not doing much around the house, I had a pretty productive weekend followed by another night of work yesterday. I can now say that I’ve cleaned up a huge pile of disorganized papers that have been following me around for the past few years. (There’s a sense of relief there!) [...]

I’m Cool
August 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Movies, Pointless Updates, What I Did Last Weekend
Oh, the ironies of life. Last week, we had perfectly lovely weather but the forecast was for hot, hot weather during the weekend. So when did my air conditioner break? Thursday night! All weekend: hot weather, no air conditioner. I bought one fan and borrowed three more, then spent as much time out of the [...]

My Cousin Visits; I Sell Some Stuff
April 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Mi Familia, Movies, Photography
After finishing The Grapes of Wrath a few weeks ago, I made an effort to rent the movie version this week and I watched it last night. You know what’s a good book? The Grapes of Wrath. You know what isn’t a great book-to-movie transition, despite being listed on the AFI Top 100 list? The [...]

Round is Funny
April 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Movies, Television
I started bringing my own bags to the supermarket about a year and a half ago, and in that time it’s become radically more socially acceptable to do so. At least in the eyes of the checkout kids, who used to give me a kind of exasperated attitude whenever I’d bust out my assortment of [...]
