Brain is full

My head hurts. Too much thinking. Let’s see if can empty any of it out here. Work is still all-consuming. I don’t mind it that much really because I’m learning new things and finally getting to do things I’ve wanted to do for years. It just sucks that I’ve got to cram what looks like [...]

6 1/2 hours on a Friday

My friend Will is involved with the Hardacre Film Festival that is held in Tipton, IA showcasing independent films from all over the world. I’ve known about it for several years, but this was the year I finally went. They had screenings on Friday night and all day on Saturday. I headed over after work [...]

To Be

I sucked it up and went to yoga at my gym last night. Describing how I felt today to a co-worker, who also teaches yoga, elicited a chuckle and the comment, “it hurts just to be.” She is so right. How I wish I could “not be” today. I am beyond sore. It hurts to [...]

The weekend that was

I hope everyone was able to enjoy as much of a relaxing, yet productive weekend as I was. Right after work on Friday, I went to see The Simpsons Movie.

Spiderman 3 was so bad it nearly killed me

I am alive. I know Diane and a few others wondered if I had dropped off the planet. I went to see Spiderman 3 on the Friday it opened and while I was in the theater, bored out of my mind by the bad acting and ridiculous storyline and badly formed characters, I started coughing. [...]

Oscars Red Carpet : Daniel Craig

Look: photographic proof that I was within spitting distance of Daniel Craig. *sigh* I’ve posted some of my Academy Awards red carpet photos over on flickr. There’s a lot of cropping involved in my pictures, so its taking a bit longer than I’d hoped to get all finished. I still have some more to add [...]

We finally meet…

Andy and I went to the Meet the Oscars exhibition today in Hollywood, the most touristy thing I wanted to do. Its completely cliche to say, but it really is heavier than it looks. I expected heavy and I got heavy. We also went to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, ate some really [...]
