Field Trip City

Today I wrote a 1600 word project description for the Ottawa Art Bazaar. I certainly have big ideas regarding where I want this thing to go. But you know, I look at my life five, ten years down the road, and I still want to be involved in this sort of thing. It's an exciting and dynamic thing to make a living at. Whenever I mention it to my mother, she tells me this drive I have to put on shows is a trait I inherited from my grandfather. I feel good about that. I hope I can do him proud.

I watched a couple of movies in Jay's collection today that I'd never seen. The Rundown, which was okay for what it was and had some great action sequences, plus a hilarious Christopher Walken monologue about the tooth fairy that he had to have translated into Portugese to get his point across. Gold. The other was Dark Water, which started out atmospherically rich but kind of lost me about halfway through. I found that the story didn't make much sense and had trouble grabbing me enough to really care. Kudos to Tim Roth for his performance, though. I didn't even recognize him until I saw his name in the credits.

I searched for recaito in the grocery store for about 20 minutes today, but there was none to be found.

I'm expecting a few things in the mail that haven't arrived yet. I hate waiting on the mailman. It's the curse of this digital age. I can go online and find inappropriate pictures of people with farm animals in five seconds, but I have to wait three weeks for a CD in the mail. Crazy world.
