So in the past two days, I've watched F.W. Murnau's Sunrise twice. I've been hearing about it since school, but sort of half-avoiding it because I had heard so much about how "beautiful" it was with a sense of "don't really bother about the story." A lot of the time, that doesn't work for me. I'm not very visually-oriented, though it's more ( Read more... )

This is old news, I know. But we've got one episode left in Season 3 (NO SPOILERS, PLEASE), and I want to take this moment to rhapsodize about how much I love this show. For those of you who don't know, it's about crime and policing in Baltimore, and it ran five seasons in the mid-2000s ( Read more... )

This year, the day after "The Naked Time" closed, we drove down to Oregon where my mom had rented a beautiful house (just south of Canon Beach), where we stayed a week and ( Read more... )

Last week, I went to Hawaii for the first time--Oahu, to be exact, the North Shore to be more so--for the wedding of some friends of ours. Unfortunately, the governor of said state vetoed the law that was going to allow them to do so legally, but they did it anyway and it was a gorgeous ceremony. Also a beautiful place ( Read more... )
