You guys!! I saw so many movies this weekend. Saturday was Catfish (which was good, but I think presented a little misleadingly, and that’s all I’ll say about that, because everyone who says you want to see it without knowing anything about it? is totally right.), and Let Me In. Which also falls within the good-but-not-great realm for me. It was ( Read more... )

The television may own my weeknights, but my weekends belong to the theater, darlings!

Friday, I went to see L'arnacoeur (Heartbreaker) in lieu of The Romantics (which, I didn't hallucinate.. the ticketing guy told me that it had been on the schedule, and was pulled last minute with no explanation that he'd heard, so, poop.), and it was awesome. I ( Read more... )

FRIIIIIIIINGE!! Of all of the premieres this fall, this is the one I've loved the most. It wasn't all forced exposition or lacklustre set-up, nor was it stunty or flashy and lacking in content. It was just a good, solid hour 44 minutes of quality show, picking up where things left off and immersing me instantly. It was as if we'd never left. So, ( Read more... )

++ The first season of Important Things with Demitri Martin is only $7 on iTunes right now. It is downloading as we speak. :) Sometimes you just need to know about Important Things while you're working ( Read more... )

So, this is almost a week delayed, because I've been really just wracking my brain, trying to figure out, not so much what to say, but how to say it. Just how does a person quantify and write down what they love about a movie, when what they love about it is everything. I always say that a truly great film has to embody everything the medium has ( Read more... )

Making this super quick, on account of I am off to what is sure to be a really painful meeting. But I am committed to rolling this final stretch out on time, so, here we go!

( Day 29, and what's to come )

Teehee… I have a new toy. It arrived yesterday, and it is awesome. I haven't had a whole lot of time to play with it yet, but I've already both put it to good use in meetings and installed the streaming Netflix app for ease of watching Buffy on the go (which is obvs very important), and ordered one of these to hold it (on the last day for the ( Read more... )

One thing I think I neglected to mention yesterday: INTERPOL TICKETS - I HAS THEM. My hope that they would circle 'round back and stop by when the U2 show they were opening for was cancelled came true. Nabbed tickets for their show at First Avenue, then checked for sightline seating reservations and yup, got those too. Not to set my sights too high ( Read more... )

I forgot my iPod at home today, and am now feeling twitchy. I have plenty of music on my work computer to listen to, and plenty of pics and such if I get a few minutes to icon, and have been so lax on my writing that anything I started would be basically from scratch at this juncture anyways. Not to mention I have so much work to do today that I ( Read more... )

Yeah, so, remember that time I was going just "come in late," because I was going to go pick up an iPhone 4 before work? Yeah, around hour four, I gave up on ever actually making it into the office. Seven hours in line for that little fucker. NEVER AGAIN ( Read more... )
