on getting a hobby
I think it's been a while. I should be packing for East Lansing but I'd rather write a dull blog entry ( Read more... ) -
atonement
Atonement is not a Jane Austen novel. Perhaps my love of reading Atonement stems largely from how much of a revelation this was to me as I sat among my book club in AMC stadium seating, watching the film's ending. It is correct to assume I had not finished the book before we viewed the movie together, but, having almost abandoned the book after a ( Read more... ) -
the cafe prague
the cafe prague resides on a side street in san francisco, somewhere between chinatown and city lights. i remember it best as the black and white photograph i took several years ago, the first time i visted the city. there were two or three bicycles parked to the side, and the front windows opened into a small, fenced-in street patio that held ( Read more... ) -

call you back.
of course now the seattle art museum calls. now. as in, a week and a half after they said would be the absolute latest they would call, either way. now, i sit here, dreading calling them back, for fear of having to make a "career move" i will regret someday. i feel bad complaining since most people i know are looking for jobs rather than ( Read more... ) -
dasepo naughty girls
When SIFF was going on a few weeks ago, this film was by far my favorite [I also saw Strange Culture (U.S) and Noise (Australia)]. Set largely inside a cartoon-like high school with classrooms painted neon green and a principal who has secretly been taken over by an aspiring dragon, Dasepo Naughty Girls (South Korea) is a hybrid of a cheesy anime ( Read more... )
