Thanksgiving

We're having the Thanksgiving meal at my parents' house for the first time ever. Freed from the tyranny of an extended family who demands meat in anything fit for consumption, we've been able to put together a great array of vegan dishes (including an amazing pumpkin bourbon cheesecake, courtesy of Amy and James). I spent the morning in the kitchen, making a butternut squash and spinach pie while listening to Clint Mansell's exquisite score for The Fountain.

I also took it upon myself to create a centerpiece for the table. This is what I came up with:

Later, I think I'll go meet up with some friends for a few drinks, although I don't think anything can top the holiday, four years ago, when all my friends and I went to see Soderbergh's outstanding take on Solaris, followed by a visit to a bar where James and I tried to drink each other under the table. Speaking of which, it's interesting (and slightly foreboding) that Warners is releasing The Fountain on the same weekend that Fox released Solaris.

That's Thanksgiving for you - the day on which turkeys and intelligent science fiction films are sent to their doom.
