So, I thought Inception was pretty great. I'm not going to bother discussing what it's about, like I normally do, because frankly if you haven't seen it yet, you should stop reading this right now and just go see it. Plus I'm going to spoil some crucial stuff ( Read more... )

As people have been reminding me, it's been ages since I've posted anything, just three posts in five weeks. I've been busy at work, catching up on things that built up during vacation. And I've been slowly sinking into a depression since coming home. I'm become thoroughly unmotivated and am spiraling into anhedonia ( Read more... )

First K. and I were both tormented by crazy dreams and bad sleep last night and then the ride to work was literally insane. I swear there were ten times as many bad aggressive drivers on the road this morning as there usually are. And it's not even a full moon! Is there some other meteorological or astrological explanation?

Got to work from home today because of the "snow" and I'm watching the most bizarre Little Rascals movie. It's a full length feature (their only one, I believe) inexplicably set during the Civil War, where Spanky and Buckwheat (and later the rest of the gang), are fighting for the South against mostly contemptible Union soldiers ( Read more... )

Bosses closed the office yesterday and today on account of Snowmageddon (although really I think it's because my boss's car got caught in the snow Tuesday), but I still have to work from home. K. is lucky as she been getting real snow days. Yesterday, after being stuck inside all day, we felt the need for a walk (in the snow blasting blizzard), ( Read more... )

Well, the rain isn't all bad. Inspiration came to me on the subway last night and I found myself scribbling out a scene both on the train and when I got home. After such a long spell of inactivity, it felt really good and I'm still pretty jazzed about it today. I'd forgotten how often that would happen when I was riding the subway. A big chunk ( Read more... )

Who do I have to kill, screw, or yell at to get this goddamn rain to stop!?!?! Point me in their direction, please!

Also: Go, Phils!

All right, after last night's episode, I'm off the fence about Melrose Place. That show is getting pretty damn fun. We have Ella using her knack for manipulation seemingly for good, but surely with ulterior motives. Riley got a bit more interesting with the implication that she's harboring some terrible secret. Lauren is committing to her new ( Read more... )

Three of my favorite films from March's Film Festival are currently in theaters (at least in these parts) so I thought I'd reproduce the reviews here because they're all worth catching on the big screen:

The best film of the festival so far was The Hurt Locker. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow (Strange Days), it's the story of a bomb disposal unit ( Read more... )

Well, Quantum of Solace was mediocre. The opening car chase was so jumpy that I had trouble figuring out what was going on. Tracking down the evil criminal organization S.P.E.C.T.R.E., er.. I mean Quantum, was pretty interesting, but the two bad guys focused on were completely forgettable and their big scheme was probably the least nail-biting ( Read more... )
