movie night

Boiler Room--yeah! liked it, with Giovanni Ribisi, Ben Affleck, and Vin Diesel --all very good and the post Wall Street movie in which the principals, who are eager sharks, can recite Gordon Gekko's lines as he says them. Odd seeing the twin towers on the NYC skyline. I'd heard it was a good movie, and it is.

And Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind--also terrific. But what's with the round-eyed Japanese humans who populate all these films? Where has this weird tradition come from? And am I the only one who thought Nausicaa was bare-assed through the first third of the movie until I finally figured she MUST be wearing some kind of weird tights????Or do I just have a dirty mind?

I have the first disc of the last bunch of Sopranos but figured I'll wait till I get the rest so I can have a Sopranos orgy when I get back from WFC.

The Changing of the Closets

Today, (after a false start a week ago when I though it was going to get colder than read the weather report for the rest of the week and decided to wait) I started moving my winter clothes to my bedroom closet and my spring/summer clothes to the back room (less accessible). I actually was able to force myself to get rid of one skirt, several tops, two jackets, and one belt. I discovered that I have enough short sleeved black shirts of linen or silk to last me several years, far too many silk charmeuse blouses of all colors, and too many jackets of various fabrics. And two long black velvet coat like pieces of clothing one of which, with a design element that I can't find the name of --black tubing? Anyway...I'm mostly done but couldn't stand finishing. Haven't done the shoes and haven't gotten my winter socks out of the duffel bag but tomorrow is another day.
A friend is over and we're going to a dinner party across town so screw it. For now anyway. I made Dinah happy as she was able to jump onto the shelf in the backroom closet and sleep for a few hours.
