I used to be a total TV
Addict. Now, I'm paring away my regular viewing down to two shows.
My addiction is still apparent by my choices. Alias
still rocks and is probably the most fun I've had watching TV in quite
some time. And this'll be the first time since the very first season
that I've been hooked by Survivor
right from the first episode. I can't help it. I love Rupert
and Christa!

Just finished reading my newest copy of Readymade
Magazine, the best magazine I've ever seen. I am so happy to find
out that they'll be coming out bimonthly finally! If you have not
read this magazine, run, do not walk to your nearest news stand. Better
yet, get a subscription. Seriously.

Watched Hedwig
and the Angry Inch. I absolutely LOVE this movie. See it, whatever
you do. It is so worth your time. To paraphrase one of the actors
who played Hedwig in the theatrical production, you go into this movie
thinking "what could I possibly have in common with this character,
and you come out of it thinking, "I have everything in common
with this character." I also
LOVE the soundtrack, but be careful, it'll get stuck in your head.

Started reading Ring
by Koji Suzuki last night. The weird thing is that the deaths
in the beginning of the book (the first two chapters, so I'm not really
giving anything away here) happen on September 5, 1990. I really liked
the American version of the movie, and I am looking forward to seeing
both the Japanese and Korean versions of the movie, and the American
version of the sequel.

Finished watching the interviews on Drama
in the Desert, a DVD that went along with the book of images from
Burning Man 2002. I liked it, but I wish there'd been more pictures
and video on the DVD. The one good thing was the artists interviews,
which made it worth while.

Went to the Hiller
Aviation Museum with the kids yesterday. What a cool collection
of really interesting machines! I'll definitely be going back sometime
soon to get more pictures.

I finished reading Oryx
and Crake by Margaret Atwood yesterday. Not what I had expected
at all. Actually I don't know what I expected, since I didn't know
anything about it before reading it, other than it was written by
Margaret Atwood. Though I'm pretty tired of Dystopian Adventures in
general, I enjoyed this, probably because there was so much pre-dystopia
"memories" from Snowman, giving the dismal realities a point.

Watched
The Others (Some minor spoilers follow).It was pretty cool, and
I had avoided finding out about the ending, but I still figured out
what was going in way too early. I'd have liked to see even more done
with the movie. I liked the end, but it felt like it ended before
it was truly over. There should have been more interaction with "the
intruders" before the close. It just needed about twenty minutes
more before it closed off.

I'm listening to "Turning
Japanese" on my headphones at the Canvas
Cafe. This song is quite probably my favorite song from the '80's,
and I've loved every cover I've ever heard of it, including the Tom
Monroe version from the Gerry
Todd show.
