What I’m reading: Finished Tatsumi’s Good-Bye
What I’m listening to: My iTunes library, on shuffle. I’ve been working at home a lot (keeping an eye on Rufus), so I haven’t been driving much. Hence, not much music.
What I’m watching: Adam’s Rib, Solaris (Soderbergh, not Tarkovsky), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
What I’m drinking: Miller’s & Q Tonic, and Bardolino Chiaretto 2007 rosé.
What Rufus is up to: Recovering faster than we could’ve hoped, and back to his full (1- to 1.5-mile) walks! If he gets his endurance up by next weekend, we’ll take him out for a Sunday grey-hike!
Where I’m going: Nowhere. It’s a thrilling life, I tellsya.
What I’m happy about: That my wife, half-watching this trailer on Robert Wilonsky’s Ultimate Trailer Show (which really should have its own website), perked up after a few seconds and said, “Oh, it’s the other guy from that Peter Riegert movie!” Which would be Local Hero. Which would be yet another reason why I love her so.
Also, we took one look at this movie —
— and she said, “It’s your boyfriend, Sam Rockwell!” Oh, and she took care of Rufus for a few hours on Saturday while I went out, ran some errands, and had a little time alone.
What I’m sad about: That Timoleon had to let his friends kill his brother Timophanes. (Seriously: Plutarch’s story of his life is just amazing, especially when he gets to the segment about Dionysus the younger’s post-tyrant life in Corinth.)
What I’m worried about: That I’ll go ever stir-crazier, working at home.
What I’m pondering: Whether Mickael Pietrus is lying about being French and is actually from Rapa Nui.
You know what’s great about Moon? that they filmed that on a shoestring budget. You know what’s not so great? I have no idea when or if it will play here. Let us know how it is if you see it.
