If you were ever afraid it was too late to see a dream come into fruition, allow me to re-introduce you to David Seidler. At 73-years-young, the screenwriter won the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for The King's Speech (Personal fave! Colin Firth--woohoo!) last night. Incredible!
In the past, I've talked about personal story and how important it is for us ...more»
In honor of the Academy Awards Ceremony airing tomorrow night, I thought I'd share the closest I've come to Natalie Portman's Black Swan performance, if I had ever been even remotely close to becoming a principle dancer in the New York City Ballet Company. Which is and was and always will be not at all, ever, never, never ever. Instead, ...more»

Oh, and there were cupcakes, too. To mark the occasion. Needless to say, I am smitten. Whereas Vi and I had some acquainting to do (things are working ...more»
It. Is. Finished. I have finally finished Jonathan Franzen's Freedom, which has brought about a great deal of freedom in my personal life. After being chained to the darkest novel I have ever read for the last few weeks, sweet freedom is mine. Mine, I tell you!
Not that the book was without merit. While SO perverse at times, it kind ...more»
Of late, I've been reading the incredibly depressing novel that is Johnathan Franzen's Freedom. I'm not saying it's not a good piece of art, but I've yet to find anything redeemable in there.
