i am a glove-hog. i got two for me and two for ryan. i always lose my gloves so i am now fully prepared. sad to all the nyc kids who will be freezie-freakies-less since there is only one pair of mediums left in the whole store.

i am really enjoying living with ryan. i'm quite surprised by this. i can't tell if that's because i'm a total pessimist or just because i've had bad experiences previously. so far it's been really nice and i guess wintertime always puts me in a good mood. we're gonna wake up early and get bagels at cosi. i've decided that cosi have the best bagels in nyc, right up there with noah's "new york" bagels. i will forever hate noah's for not having "new york" bagels in new york. the frauds!

i watched all the goddard films (woman is a woman = the best of the bunch i think). this week i think i've seen 8 movies. nyu only has two czech new wave films in its entire film center. i found that really odd and depressing. i was going to write about my favorite film, "daises" and checked out all these books that actually had writing about the director, but everything i wanted to compare or contrast it with was absolutely impossible to find. maybe i didn't look hard enough. so, i've got me an essay on goddard instead. watched umbrellas of cherbourg too. i'm not into musicals but that film didn't annoy me. actually, i liked it quite a bit. it seems that most of the french films always end depressingly or unresolved. nearly every film i've seen this week, including the two czech new wave films, "closely watched trains" and "larks on a string," end where someone dies and they thwart any sense of connection or emotion with long shots or there's a negative situation and you're left not knowing how to feel. after a while it pisses me off.
