Internet, (well, the six of you on the internet reading this) - I am about to get real with you. The other night, at the wonderfully convenient time of about 1a.m., I came down with the most gut-wrenching case of homesickness I may have ever been stricken with. My stomach started to churn, my ...
Better than a Black Card
Two years ago, and I couldn't even tell you how, I came across a service called MoviePass. Curious, I signed up for an invite to the program, and shortly thereafter, I was in. Well, I could've been in if I wanted to be in. I didn't get in because it didn't really make sense for me at the time. ...
What was. What will be.
Holiday break ends in the morning, as I go back to work after a week and a half of of travel and visiting and generally enjoying myself. And as I plan my meals and run the laundry and do all the housekeeping things that get me back in the workaday mindset, I'd be remiss if I said I wasn't reflecting ...
2013 [in films]
Earlier, I listed every movie I've seen this year. I got to 124, more than 70 of which were released this year. Which means I think - though I have a few more yet to see - I can safely draft my top films of the year and even kinda know what I'm talking about while I do. How'd I do it? Once I'd ...
183 hours on screen. Give or take.
By my count, I watched 124 films in 2013. That's films I'd seen for the first time - new this year, or new to me. I didn't count any films I was re-watching (like White Christmas, the film that's on while I write this). I feel like that's not too shabby. I also feel like it's nothing compared to ...
2013 [in books]
As previously documented, I've got a love of reading. And while I'm no good at reading more than one book at a time, I'm always reading one book at a time. Usually, I have a horrible time deciding which book I'll pick up; my habit of buying strolling secondhand bookstores means my shelves are ...
Whirlwind weeks (or: where I’ve been)
I just looked, and in August I posted to this blog 23 times. In December, I'm at four. Four. I'm working on a backlog of posts - about the adventures of holiday baking in NYC, about the 121 films I've seen this year, about my newfound love for audiobooks on Audible.com - but I thought I'd kick ...
Not feeling it (and not for the reasons you think)
When Paradise Valley released this summer, I rediscovered everything I've loved about John Mayer and his music for a decade now - the approachable melodies, the insightful lyrics, the album story from first track to last. I even appreciated Who You Love, the track co-written with Katy Perry, who ...
Coming Soon: December
I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but here we are in the last month of the year. The last several weeks for films vying for awards consideration to make their theatrical debuts, the last several weeks to beef up my "Seen in 2013" list (which is quite hefty already). The list of releases is ...
Listen to This: Christmas 2013
To a select few in the know, one of my favorite holiday traditions is building a new Christmas music playlist each year. I'm always listening to holiday music (and I do mean always. Like, in June.), so it only seems natural that I'd have an idea or two of new and different songs worth throwing ...
