Nov. 26th, 2011 10:28 pm1. Random Fionn conversation:
me: I am going to eat you up!
Fionn: I am going to eat *you* up!
me: but I am too big! I won't fit inside your tummy!
Fionn: Well, I could eat you every day.
2. Watching the new show "Homeland"--it is REALLY good! It's funny, though, that sometimes Claire Danes, who plays this tough, cunning, bipolar CIA operative sometimes totally has Angela Chase expressions/mannerisms--at other times ( spoilers for Homeland AND BSG )
3. Going to Berlin next weekend. Seeing
totalvirility who is arriving from India via Finland, hopefully with copious photographs of his newborn surrogately-gestated (what is the adjective for that?) nephews.
4. John Sayles wrote a novel! Did y'all know this? It's called "A Moment in the Sun" and I am totally going to read it, even if one of the Amazon reader reviews says that by the time they got to p.700, they realized he needed so many pages in the book so that he would have enough space for every possible bad thing ever to happen to his characters.
5. In another pop-culture link, I realized that one of the screenwriters for "Fringe" is Akiva Goldman, which makes sense when connected to the news I read that Akiva Goldman is the one adapting Helprin's "Winter's Tale" for the screen (supposedly)--I know it's not obvious (even though the show makes all these explicit shout-outs to the book), but I see such a connection between "Fringe" and "Winter's Tale."
6. I am still jet-lagged or post-jet-lagged or something. I took like a 3-hour nap today. I am sure that will work out great when I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour.
