I just took a moment to reflect on all the cool adventures I've been on so far in 2016, a nice little reminder of the bright spots in an otherwise wonky year. And with the start of a new month, I thought I'd look ahead, too - give myself the nudge I need to keep making the most of my time and ...
Recent Adventures (Part 1)
A little over halfway through, I can say with a certain confidence that 2016 has taken a few twists and turns that I didn't exactly see coming. I spent most of my quieter moments in July processing all of that, and it's only with the start of the new month that I'm able to articulate some of ...
On Melanie
There's news every other week of another movie legend leaving us; the further we get from those industry-shaping years of the first part of last century, the fewer of them there are still with us. When that news does break, I find myself - like everyone else - surprised and saddened. My next thought ...
Links I’ve Clicked (Recently)
For the last several weeks (ok, months), I've ignored my Pocket list as I try to get through Ron Chernow's Hamilton (which for the record, is REALLY good). Then I discovered that my trusty Chicago Public Library has the audio version available for check-out, and suddenly I'm freed up to go back to ...
Typos Online
I try pretty actively to avoid making this space one that is full of gripes. We can all get plenty of those elsewhere, after all. But there is this ONE THING that has been stuck in my craw for ages, and so long as I am a citizen of the planet who uses the internet, I'm afraid it will always be ...
Listen to This: Podcasts
Before writing this post, I had to do a search of my own site to make sure I've never written about this subject before. How have I had this blog for three years (!) and never dedicated a few hundred words to my love of podcasts? I've written about specific shows (here and here), but apparently ...
Because consistency fails me
For a while now I've been trying to figure out how to add the functionality to this site that would email anyone who signs up a notification when there's a new post. Because, as you may've noticed, I'm not exactly consistent about posting. Some months? Woo-hoo! Look at all those new posts! Other ...
Coming Soon: Summer 2016
Later this year, I'll spell out by month every movie I plan to see before we ring in 2017, as I've been doing on this space for the last couple of years. It's the best time of the year for great film, and I'm always heading out to see one or two or three movies in a week. Sharing all that screen ...
Staycation 2016
This time last year, I was just returning from a mini-tour of Europe, ten incredible days spent eating and walking and drinking and touristing in Reykjavik, London and Dublin. My how things change. This year, I'm on a break again, albeit under much different circumstances. Transitioning from one ...
Back to my roots. Gladly.
I try to keep the posts here short, snappy and to the point. I've been doing this long enough that not only do I not have the energy for a long preamble to set up the post, but you have no interest in it either. So, dear reader, forgive me for what may be some rambling to get to today's point, as ...
