Well, it’s over for another year, and considering there was a time when we thought it might not happen at all, we’re all pretty relieved that the show went on, mostly as planned. And I’m pretty happy with the results, as well; no other film this year shook me like No Country for Old Men, […]

The view above is from atop the ridge above the Bronson Caves in Griffith Park, where we went for a hike this morning, in the bit of sunshine before it started raining. We explored the caves (home to TV’s Batman, Little House on the Prairie, and Star Trek: Voyager, apparently) and checked out the views […]

The upstairs exhibitions on language and cat’s cradles were new to me, and I enjoyed the trailer park and nitrate dice again, as well. Fish tacos […]

Yesterday was a good day: a nice run in the morning, fish tacos at lunch, out to dinner with Aimee at Vermont, and presents at home. Some great books and CDs, plus my first DSLR, a Canon Digital Rebel, which I’m very excited about. Today has been somewhat slower: it’s my first of a couple […]

A quick rundown of the weekend, as we’re already into another busy week and I can’t seem to keep up: first, dinner at Simon LA as part of Dine LA week, which made the pricey restaurant somewhat more affordable, and made for a nice evening out. Saturday morning we walked around Castellammare (Walking L.A. tour […]
