The combination of work, househunting and trying to get back on track after a month overseas has slowed me down on a lot of fronts.Anyway, the books I managed to read: I'm… Continue reading What I Read August

The Oscars Project: Year 11
This is probably one of the weaker years for Oscar films. Many were repetitive of films that had come through previously, and there were few real stand outs or even movies that felt strong enough to leave a mark, like so many of the years around 1938 had.

Sunday Short: ‘Woven’ by Lidia Yuknavitch
I can’t remember the name of the bar, but I remember I was twenty-two, and I was having the time of my life on Halloween night with my then-girlfriend in Greenwich Village. At twenty-two we could drink like beautiful androgynous unafraid fish. Young badass women in love in the bohemian capital of the world. That’s… Continue reading Sunday Short: ‘Woven’ by Lidia Yuknavitch
