Hey Flip-philes. Back again with another post. A friend recently told me that he disagreed with my assessment of Up In The Air, which was a surprise to me. Not necessarily because we disagreed (we have more heated debates on pop culture than we do religion and politics combined), but because I didn't know anyone actually read this blog. I thought this place was an island, but that's apparently not the case. I should probably start doing spellcheck.
A couple of weeks ago I made a list of my favorite films of 2009 and forgot to include Star Trek and Fantastic Mr. Fox. I'm not sure why I forgot them as both were awesome and fresh on my mind. I don't know where I'd place them either, but I doubt I'm going to take the time to do it. I'm kind of over the whole list thing anyway. Ranking movies is like ranking your favorite relatives. Sure, you'd know what the order would be, but it is rather rude.
On the writing front, I took a break from the implosion that is Down and Yonder and wrote a simple short story. It is called "The Bridge and The Rabbit Head," and I'm rather proud of it. It's solid but slight (though most short stories are). I hope to write more of these this year. It's a good exercise.
The move is going well. We found a cheap couch and will hopefully have cable before the end of the week. Having to talk to one another has been simply unbearable! We also don't yet have Internet so I'm forced to go to a coffee shop and use their wi-fi (on a related note, did you know they steam milk these days?). I just need a corduroy jacket and maybe my Georgia caterpillar can finally transform into that beautiful hipster butterfly. Does anyone know a place in Sherman Oaks that sells vintage tees?
Until next time.
