Trying to get through the day with just a little piece of happiness...

Wednesday, September 05, 2007
Still here. I'm working, exercising, watching, reading (online and off), eating, sleeping. In some ways, I feel I'm in a form of stasis, existing within a bubble of space and time with no real changes. School starts this Saturday, and I expect that will change the scenery (literally and figuratively) some.

Reading: Speak Softly, She Will Hear by Pam Lewis. I started reading this on Friday, August 24 and finished it on Sunday, August 26. I had to find out what would happen.

Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson. I picked this one out of my bookshelf this past weekend. It has the name of girl from Westover in it. She threw it out at the end of the year and I picked it up. I wasn't friends with her. As I remember, she seemed rather awful: cold and insensitve. But the book seems good.

Watching: The US Open tennis tournament. Too bad one of my favorites, Nadal, is out.
The Office, Season One. Squirmingly awkward humor.
The West Wing, Season Three.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season Three.
Weeds, Season Two. This is actually a pretty stupid show, but I keep watching it anyway.

Crimes of the Heart (1986) starring Diane Keaton, Sissy Spacek and Jessica Lange. This is a favorite of mine, and I wanted to share it with Sweetie. I must admit it seemed a bit slower than I remember, but there are still things I love about it: "Grandad's book, Diseases of the Skin" and "Cat and Woman found in Basement. Double Suicide."

Grizzly Man (2005). Just watched this tonight. Amazing story of an amazing, although misguided, person who loved and lived among Grizzly Bears and eventually died by one of them. The story is tastefully and beautifully told in this film.
