I switched to Cavalier from Verizon, and suddenly my phone line isn't working properly and now I don't have DSL. I have limited access to the internet at home, thus the infrequent postings.
I had some really cool topics to discuss on here, but of course I didn't write them down and now I've forgotten what they were. I suck. Tangent: I'm actually looking forward to the latest Terminator movie. Wow! Surprise. Christian Bale is in it--'nuff said.
My friend Melissa and I watched the weirdest movie a couple Fridays ago: Synecdoche, NY. It's a good thing we entered the theater fresh off some wine with dinner, because you need a buzz to get through that flick. The acting was great, and there were some parts that were quite hilarious, but apparently it was supposed to be a horror film (?). If by horror, one means seemingly endless investigation of the mundane, then yes, it was quite scary. I didn't hate it, but Melissa and I wondered if we should stop picking movies to watch together at the Charles...
In other news, my nephew thinks I'm his girlfriend (it's quite an honor, since there was a year or so in his life that he wouldn't let me pick him up or even push him in his stroller). I've been taking tons of pictures of events at work, and I'm thinking of eventually having an art opening with the best of those images. I'm still developing my thesis so it will be a while, but I would love have a show again.
I'm just about to finish a book called Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet. It is absolutely incredible. Melissa let me borrow it. Daniel has Asperger's Syndrome and is also a savant. He and I have one thing in common: we are both synesthetic. It's nice to read about others who experience their letters and numbers in color and have certain spatial locations for days of the week and months of the year, etc.
OK, time to go. My attention span is not the best these days. Too much Christmas stimuli.
