I have been watching a lot of movies since coming here. Last night, I saw Half Nelson. I don't know if it's in wide release yet or if it never will be, but if it's out where you are, see it! It's not super cheery, but not super uncheery. You can handle it. And it's got such good performances. Especially especially Mr. Ryan Gosling. I'd heard he was good, for years, but I never got around to seeing anything he's been in. I think I lost some interest when he was in The Notebook (though I much prefer "Bad Love of Old People Movie," Cam's alternate title when she couldn't recall the real one). But yeah, he's a great actor to watch, very charismatic, just awesome. And, I looked him up on imdb today---he is going to be in a movie with Tom Waits! So that does it. New celebrity crush.


I don't feel like I have much to say, lately. I am a little in disarray. Maybe I will try harder to fix that, today. I find out what region I teach in today, so then I will probably take the new apartment in Park Slope, for October through January. That will mean staying here awhile. At least 6 months. Unless I absolutely have to freak out, in which case anything goes. But yeah, that's something to get used to, the idea of staying here. Yikesaroo.
