It’s been a busy week since we got back from Vegas. I worked a 9am to 2am shift at an editing shop preparing for the show, which involved me sitting around for seventeen hours with not a whole lot to do but grab a tape for someone every hour or so, so I watched four episodes of Spooks<\/I> as well as I, Vitelloni<\/I> (perhaps a first time for that combination?), which still left me more than ten hours to read The New Yorker<\/I>, work on some entries on Photobooth.net<\/A>, and raid the well-stocked canteen for Snapples every few hours. I’ll be back again on Tuesday, with more British tv to watch on the laptop. We finally finished season one of The Wire<\/I> last night, after the replacement DVD set came in. Anticlimactic, I guess, for the characters as well as the viewers, but it sets up season two nicely. With another seventeen hour day, I can knock that off before dinner…<\/p>\n

Last night, Aimee and I stopped by Bar Lubitsch for a drink; it’s a new place on Santa Monica not too far from our house, and we’d seen it but never been in before. Nice place, huge vodka selection, strange theme: drinks called “The Lubitsch Touch” and “Ninotchka,” in keeping with the Lubitsch name, but with a Russian theme, odd for a place named for a German director. Oh well.<\/p>\n

This morning, we went to LACMA<\/A> for the first time today to see the Magritte exhibition<\/a>, which we enjoyed very much. It was crowded, but I guess the show is closing soon. We’ll have to go back to see the permanent collection sometime. I went for a run yesterday and discovered after I’d started that it was 88\u00b0 outside, for which I was totally unprepared. Not very February-esque, if you ask me. <\/p>\n

We also caught Half Nelson<\/I> today, the last of the nomination screenings for the year. Very well done, good performances all around. One more week to the awards; apparently, they’ll close down the first area streets beginning tonight, through next week. Should be interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
