Entourage, the boob festival
I saw the pilot and the first three episodes of Entourage last night, and while I like the banter between the guys, there's something sort of creepy about all the women who just wander in and out of view half-dressed and impossible. I'm not sure that I'll invest much more time on this one....Read More

Lots, and not much, going on
My interests seem to ebb and flow like an ocean cycle that takes months rather than half days, and I think that alone can account well for my lack of entries here. I've been really pushing myself with the Spanish, and of course there's always a movie on deck, plus I've been reading a bit......Read More

Not Very Happy About This One
So, there was a disaster of some kind, and I found myself amid some rubble with none other than John Travolta. After ascertaining that his leg was broken but that he was not, in fact, dying, I told him I thought we should have sex. Ew. It's not the man; it's the age difference.......Read More

Another dream in a series
I recognize the grassy field, but it was darker in the dream, twilight, and there were different kinds of snakes, most of them harmless and very small. I had walked in a wide loop, out, around, and back again, and there was a girl with me. I was talking with her about the course I had......Read More

Somebody Loves You
Sometimes parts of films come back to me long after I've watched them, and often when this happens, I try to figure out why that scene or series of scenes would hold special meaning for me, or at least what the scenes were meant to portray. I'm a puzzle solver, so this is just what I do;......Read More

Bobbing at the High Table
So, I'm walking down this dirt road with a student (T), and at the end of the road, a recording setup is arranged on folding tables outside. There is another student there (M) who is about to record a song for public release, but it turns out she's not actually going to sing the......Read More

And On and On and On
It seems I jumped out of a memory pond and into a TV ocean. I'm still watching Numb3rs. I can't seem to help myself. The good news is, I'll be all out of episodes soon and can just watch one show a week like a normal person. Until then, I knit or crochet and watch......Read More

Moving On
I've been watching Season One of Numb3rs and I really like it. That David Krumholtz has really come into his own and it's a fine thing to see. Rob Morrow is a very strong lead actor and the stories are pretty interesting, too. So much for not watching TV, but these are on......Read More

Purging With Apologies
1. I still can't believe I said that. 2. Stop masturbating at me. 3. Enough with the friggin' junk mail. 4. Yes, I called you a bad name. I'm only sorry because it brought me down a level. I Still Can't Believe I Said That This has been on my mind......Read More

When Film Teaches
I watched The Beautiful Country (2004) last night and while I enjoyed the entire film, the part that excited me most was the bit about how the Vietnam-War-Era-children of US soldiers and Vietnamese women could get a free ride to the USA for a fresh start. It never occured to me that these......Read More
