SIFF 2011 - Second Weekend
In real time, SIFF is almost over, just four days left to go. I’m getting a bit filmed out so I’m finding myself working more shifts and seeing fewer films. And I sure have a lot of catching up to do with my blog entries…

SIFF 2011 - First Week
Way behind! It takes me so many days to write these posts because I’ve been getting home late… 10:30 if I’m lucky. Doesn’t leave a ton of time to do anything else. Tonight I miraculously caught a 9pm bus back from Seattle, but I still got home after 10 because I had to go grocery shopping.

SIFF 2011 - First Weekend
I had such a great SIFF last year, and I really wanted to note down all of my impressions, but then life kept moving and I never got around to finishing it. It’s probably going to be the same this year, but it doesn’t mean I can’t give it a shot. :)

Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Mother’s Day edition
Did you know that there are about 7000 languages spoken in the world today?
And that about half of them aren’t being taught to children anymore?
Which means that soon, half of the languages in the world will be gone.

Holidailies: Fail
I had the best of intentions, but I guess the reality was that taking two big trips around the holidays didn’t leave enough time for me to even do all of the essential things, much less add blogging time into my schedule. And exercise in between two trips that both involved a lot of eating was a higher priority. Well, I’m finally back now, and I ( Read more... ) -
Keflavik, Iceland
I think most of us are pretty jaded about air travel these days. Airlines are trying to cut costs wherever they can, and it’s usually safe to say that anytime something goes wrong, you can expect to end up unhappy without any signs of concern from the airline. This is especially true when the problems are related to weather.
Iceland Air is by no ( Read more... ) -
Holidailies 2010
Just got back from Paris last night, and fortunately I checked the Holidailies site today and noticed that it begins today! So I guess I’m in this year (not sure what the internet situation will be while I’m on the upcoming cruise, though) and you can look forward to a month of meaningless posts.
I’m a bit jetlagged and starting to stress about ( Read more... ) -
SIFF 2010: Week One
I’ve attended films from every year of the Seattle International Film Festival since I moved to Seattle, making this my 6th year. When I first started, I just thought it was cool that I lived in city big and diverse enough to support a festival that showed some international films. But I thought it was just as cool that I lived in a place that had ( Read more... )
