I suck at thinking up titles.<\/p>\n

Long day, lots of work done. Still much more to do but at least I STARTED. Exhausting mentally, takes a lot of concentration, a specific mindset. But I hunkered down. It’s swelteringly hot too. Now I’m gonna lie on my cool sheets, burn some incense, and watch Sands of Iwo Jima<\/i>. I figure I deserve a break. And all the John Wayne centennials that went on last week made me bump this one to the top of the queue. I’ve seen it before, but I got a hankering to see it again. I have a couple of Woody Allens too – I’m in kind of a Woody phase … I saw Melinda and Melinda<\/i> this past week and fell in love with it. I agree completely with Roger Ebert’s review of it<\/a> – I’m right there with ya, buddy! It was great to see Radha Mitchell get such a plum part, too. I remember seeing High Art<\/i> years ago and thinking: Hmmm. That chick is pretty damn good. Not too bad to look at either. To see her in a Woody Allen flick, though, was so right. She has a Mia Farrow kind of fragility – she’s very pretty, but obviously a wee bit crazy too. I loved it.<\/p>\n

But tonight I have a date with the Duke. And a cold beer.<\/p>\n

Some pictures below. Just because.

\nMy godmother told me long ago that one of the ways she kept herself engaged – and not afraid of change or risk – was to drink from a different coffee cup every day. To not be too rigid, to not have a favorite. It was a small gesture, but not meaningless. So that every day … every day … she had a small reminder of what life was really about: embracing change, leaping in, letting go. I really liked that … and have been doing it ever since. I do have a favorite one, but I switch it up daily.<\/p>\n

\nCheck out the red glow of sunset against the new Times<\/i> building (still being built). This is a view from the rooftop bar of a new club that opened up near me. Sunset time is the hour … the magic hour. I kept calling it “happy hour” … but I suppose that is true as well.<\/p>\n
