Thoughts on “Recently”

I’ve embraced my insomnia recently.  I’d say it was sometime over the last year;  though, it might be longer than that.  When I say this out loud to people it’s such a strange thought.  When did “the last year, give or take” become recently?

Robert Altman Project Update

I really wish I could be watching more Altman films right now.  A three day weekend makes me think about all my viewing/blogging possibilities.  Thank the monkey I have other interests. I’ve been stalled for a about 3 weeks now because of my adherence to the chronological rule I’ve imposed upon myself.  I had liberated […]
