I've been feeling all sorts of wanderlust-y lately largely due to watching The Brothers Bloom (which was filmed entirely in Eastern Europe) twice in one week. The movie itself was excellent; it's basically a fairy tale about con men written and directed by the same guy who did Brick (I am suddenly a huge fan of his now, he's only made two movies ( Read more... )

Arizona was gorgeous and amazing in every way (except for the killer juniper pollen). Maybe if I moved there I might someday get sick of the sight of redrocks against a blue blue sky but at this point it's never ever getting old. I took about 300 picture of said rocks and if I get enough work done today (it's rather nice to come home to a shit load ( Read more... )

I am in Arizona hanging with the lovely raptorpants (though not actually right this second 'cause she's at work). It is lovely to be in a place where there is only snow on the 12,000 feet peaks and random north facing shadowy places. There are crocuses up in the gardens in M's neighborhood.

I've been feeling rather busy and/or distracted lately. The days seem to be slipping by at an alarming rate and though there's evidence that I've been getting stuff done (like things actually being done) sometimes I'm not quite sure what I've been doing with my time. All I think about is my impending trip and how much I want to be gone now and not ( Read more... )

It's been crazy unseasonably warm for the last couple of days. I mean fifty degrees in January, crazy shit. When I stepped out the door this morning it smelled like spring, that first whiff of dirt again after it's been frozen for months. I keep thinking it's March. And it's making me restless, that feeling of 'I want to do something cool' but I'm ( Read more... )

I've just noticed that it says 24 hour time in parentheses next to the time. Has that always been like that?
