It’s Oscar Night!

Posted in Life in general on February 22, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I feel a bit disappointed in myself. I didn’t quite make as big of a dent in the list of nominated films this year. I am especially disappointed that I didn’t see Milk. What I missed:
Frost/Nixon
Milk
Revolutionary Road

“Gingerbread”

Posted in Architecture, Work on February 20, 2009 | 3 Comments »

This is a continuation from the architectural history lesson I started with Julia yesterday on the Shelby Lyn Photography site. I am continuing it here because I don’t have a good example of “gingerbread” that I took myself.

2. I come from some very saucy women. Events conspired to have several of us in one room yesterday and woe to the man who was short-sighted enough to cross us.

I don’t know when it will be released but now there is a trailer.  12 short films, 12 directors, huge cast, each film is set in a different neighborhood in New York.  Ironically I hate New York.  Maybe this film [...]

This is not a hint or a wish list, it’s just me sharing my lusty thoughts with you.   Things are going well.  There are things to be happy about.  I am still melancholy about some things, but generally I am doing ok.  I still want to drink wine and smoke cigarettes and write or talk [...]

A Bundle of Contradictions

Posted in Confessions on February 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »

The first time I met my  stupid step-mother said said I was a bundle of contradictions.  She was referring to my food choices.  There is no rhyme or reason to the things I will eat or won’t eat.  I know my rules but to other people my choices must seem erratic.  So that phrase always [...]
