— Hope’s various favorite spots in my apartment and WHEN she chooses to go to each place – it’s very specific
— Allison leaving New York and how hard it was to say goodbye
— the strange repetitive event in my life of men saying my name – both first and last – in a sighing appreciative contemplative way – this has happened with 100% of the men I am either interested in or were involved with, and I find it curious
— my plans for 2010. It’s gonna be a doozy. Former Communist countries are involved. As well as run-down motels.
— another post on Tom Noonan’s What Happened Was…
— my final thoughts on Alice and the Fawn – and how I had the whole thing wrong from the start (here, and here)
— my experience in what I now believe is a cult
— a big post on Gena Rowlands. It’s about time. I told Jeremiah it would be like “opening a vein”, but seriously, stop avoiding the issue Sheila.
— my Man in the Mirror post that has been in the works for, what, 4 years?
— a post about what happened to me in June of this year. I think the smoke is finally clearing which means I will be able to write about it.
— more in-depth posts on movies. Movies I want to cover: Living Out Loud, Punch-Drunk Love, Mulholland Drive, Magnolia – long-time major favorites that I sort of have avoided.
— a post about the nice emails I have received from perfect strangers over the years. that one’s been in the works for some time.
— a big post on Julia Roberts. Again, it’s about time. Stop avoiding the issue, Sheila. Make a stand.
