Completely bored at work.

Wrote a whole long entry on The Black Dahlia which I watched last night, then had my client crash and I lost the whole thing right as I was trying to post it! So I had to write it again, but I guess it kept me busy this afternoon ( Read more... )

This afternoon I met and had pizza with stevenray who I haven't seen in something like two and a half years. It was wonderful to see you again, Jacci, and to meet your boyfriend. Don't be a stranger to NYC and maybe I won't be a stranger to Detroit and/or Chicago.

I spent some of my morning working on cinemark cause it was slow. I'll get that journal to have ( Read more... )

Last night I went to see David Lynch's newest film, Inland Empire with frankieteardrop, bee_oh_three and others at the IFC Center on 6th Ave. It was quite an experience, I must say. I have my thoughts on the film here. If you've seen the movie, I would really like to discuss it, since it's so complex I won't even pretend to grasp all of it myself. Do so at cinemark where I've ( Read more... )

On Friday after work I met Alison, Ben and Joanna at Lincoln Center and we went to see the New York Ballet's production of "The Nutcracker Suite" courtesy of their parents. I had seen the Kansas City Ballet perform their rendition when I was in fifth or sixth grade, and was not impressed. But on Friday, I was blown away. Not only was the ( Read more... )

Thoughts on Warren Beatty's 1981 epic Reds are up at cinemark.

Tonight Alison, Ben, Joanna and I are going to see the Nutcracker at the ballet. Tomorrow I think the whole Gurin clan and I are going to the Bob Dylan exhibit that's been here a while in celebration of Joel's birthday. Then Sunday night is New Years Eve at Amelea & Brad's (and earthling42's) and ( Read more... )

Since the year's practically over, and I doubt this list will get any longer by Monday, here it is. It's significantly shorter than last year's 52-book list. It is nice to see that I lived up to the goal I set this time last year, to read when I felt like it, and not get obsessed. As you can see by this list, I was anything but obsessive about ( Read more... )

On Thursday night, since I had a three hour layover in Milwaukee, I picked up the newest Anne Rice novel. It's a bit of a different direction for her, from vampires and witches. It's called Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. In the style of Last Temptation of Christ, it examines the life of Jesus as a human struggling with his divinity. Through a ( Read more... )

This has been a very enjoyable Christmas vacation. Well, not exactly a vacation since I don't get vacation days, but it wasa break from work and New York and a nice time with the family ( Read more... )

Flight 2 was short, and I slept for most of it. I am still exhausted. I slept for less than four hours last night and ran around all day with my parents. It's 8:15 here, so it's 9:15 in New Jersey, meaning I've been up a long ass time. I was up at 4:45! I want to sleep, but I also don't, cause I'm with my family. It is lonely here at home, ( Read more... )

I had a nice first flight today. I sat next to a woman named Lauren Stevenson who used to produce commercials in Chicago and throughout the midwest, and now is a Broadway producer. Her show "Legally Blonde: The Musical" is going to come out in April. We talked the whole 2hr flight. I gave her my card because she sked questions about digital ( Read more... )
