And twenty three hours later we're back, safe and sound.
I had some leftover Amazon certificates from Christmas waiting for me, so I promptly ordered the John Cassavetes Criteron box set (at long last) and the just-released 2046. At this point, given my financial state and discounting my penchant for squeezing quarters out of pennies, they may be my only DVD purchases for the year, so I figured I'd better make them count
For the past week, I've eaten almost 100% raw. It's a hard but strangely addictive dietary habit. I was planning on having a bowl of cereal when I got home, but now it feels like I'd be cheating myself out of something (enzymes, to be exact) if I did.
I've also gone two weeks without coffee. What's happening to me?
Time to brew some black tea, unpack, catch up on some movies (the only other picture we managed to see on vacation was Match Point), write some things, hang out with Yen before he goes to Hong Kong, make some phone calls, watch some rare Godard films that Matt kindly sent me the link to, and continue to keep those proverbial fingers crossed.

No coffee? Oh my god. I actually haven't had a day without it for years... should I try it? Is it refreshing?

I wouldn't bother - it's too good not to drink. I just like torturing myself. Although, seeing as how I was drinking somewhere around eight cups a day, I'm sure my body is glad for the respite!

Yeah. we saw MATCH POINT at the Grove the other day. If I'd known you were gonna be in Los Angeles ...

I didn't really have the chance to hang out with any of my LA friends while I was there...but next time, rest assured, I'll be making phone calls (or e-mails) in advance.
