why bother with first?

It’s nice to just send something out into space, so much more vague and abstract (and pleasantly so) than having my thoughts in print, right there, in black and white. Blogs are on the web, which is some ephemeral technology that I don’t fully understand anyway, and can’t really comprehend in the same way that I can’t really comprehend a billion dollars. Meaningless. Therefore I write all kinds of things that I probably would never say or write in real life, because it tickles me and it doesn’t really do any harm anyway because in a few days the entry will be buried in the archives and the three people that have read it will be busy with other things.

A New Favorite

Don't you love it when you find a new favorite?

I just recently did: Me and You and Everyone We Know. It's just poignant and funny and touching and sad and happy and ridiculous and all the things that I love about a movie.

The first time I saw this movie, I suspected it could be in the favorites category. I've sort of been auditioning it for the role since then. This is how I do it: every couple of months I rent it. Three times. If after I've seen it three times, it still holds something for me, it goes into the category of movies I want to own. Sometimes, like this time, the movie slips right into the favorites category. It is rare, but it makes me so happy to find out that people are still making movies that I love.
