I’m outta here early tomorrow morning for a week in New York to take in some cold weather and address some very exciting business. I don’t plan on going out of my way to keep this site updated during that time, although I may drop in to blog a traveling chronicle or seven if inspiration calls.
Dogs are walked and fed, bag’s packed, and it’s time to start getting acclimated to the time change. In an effort to get sleepy earlier than usual, I figure to finish the rest of these beers and sink into the couch to take in Babel, which is up for Best Picture this Sunday at the Oscars. I’ve seen The Departed, which I’m thinking will probably clean up. (It just occurred to me that the last time I was in NYC was during the Oscars in 2004. Lord of the Rings took everything.)
So for all practical purposes, I’m calling it a month already. The shortest month of the year just got shorter. Stay well, and see you in March.
Update: Babel! Best film I’ve seen in a long time. Loved it. Give that one the Oscar.
Yay! I knew you’d love Babel. Visceral and powerful.
Fully deserving of the little gold man.
