Kyla is my girlfriend today.

Kylapants loves me and got me two books: Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Fraud by David Rakoff. Yay for Kyla! I loves her. She gets extra snuggles SOON.

Updates on my morning coming in the afternoon.

Gregory Peck, dead at 87.

Rest in Peace, Atticus Finch.

Movie Reviews: Spellbound; All the Real Girls (revisited)

Spellbound - A documentary about spelling bees. Very interesting, a good documentary that keeps you wondering about the outcome. The second-best documentary on competition that I can think of, after Hands on a Hard Body. Interestingly, I think the spelling bee is just about as pointless as standing around keeping your hand on a truck. But maybe that's just me; I think spelling bees are pretty stupid. But the documentary was not. Joey gives Spellbound three stars out of four and recommends it to fans of documentary film.

All the Real Girls - Already reviewed it. Still loved it.

Three lines from All the Real Girls that I felt I should remember:
1. "I just want to know that in a million years I can look at you close up and know that we can still talk about amazing things."
2. "I swear to God that if anyone ever smiles at me again, I'm going to freak out."
3. "You just want to forget about us? That's the saddest thing in the whole world."

And a bonus: "What if a water dog walked up right now... What would he say about you... LAND DOG?" You kinda have to see it to understand that one.

text messaging

Oh, and text messaging through livejournal seems to be working again. Just thought I'd share. Send me one if you want, or not if that's better for you. It's all good with me.
