Hi guys.

Wow, I haven't written in this LJ for almost 2 years. Was re-watching my blu-ray of Social Network and laughing about how early-2000s LJ is. It's practically a punchline when we see Zuckerberg writing on one.

A lot of things have happened in two years.

I feel compelled to write about Mad Men, having watched the first two episodes of the new season  (and about to watch the third.) I don't know exactly what I want to say, or how eloquently I'll say it, but I need to put my feelings about this show down ( Read more... )

I am doing a list of kids' books as well. No commentary, just cause I don't think people care nearly as much about my favorite kids' books ( Read more... )

Don't take too long to think about it. List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you -- The first 15 you can recall in 15 minutes.

This is going to include children's books. It just is. I'm also going to include commentary.

Actually, I just have a question. For the more technology-minded of you, why can't my PC play HD video? I have four gigs of RAM and a great video card, and still it's very choppy!

I love The Simpsons, and tonight's episode was funny, but SO WEIRD. Seriously, sometimes The Simpsons are surreal but never as surreal as this! Did anyone else see this? Was it a parody of something that I haven't seen?

And after a year and a half, I lost my iPod/had it stolen. RIP sweet Ipod.

I have a new roommate! Say hello to June! I mean,

I wrote this on ATC, but I'm reposting it here for those of you who don't go on ATC. Also so I can have it for posterity.

So Katie and I saw a concert of the new musical Einstein's Dreams at Symphony Space tonight. If any of you have  a bootleg or come across one, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I was using Leslie's recorder, but I forgot to change the battery ( Read more... )

But seriously, watch the whole thing if you are so inclined. It is hilarious!!!

I know this journal is basically defunct, and I apologize. I do want to write about the film Notorious, which was not great, but elicited a strong emotional response from me because of my childhood connections to the subject. But I'm not feeling that right now.

What I do want to write about right now is the cartoon Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends ( Read more... )
