Still from Carlos Reygadas’ Silent Light
- Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas). Film Forum will be running this film for two weeks in January.
- Rachel Getting Married (Jonathan Demme)
- Man on Wire (James Marsh). When Philippe finally stepped out onto that wire, I think I stopped breathing.
- Reprise (Joachim Trier)
- Momma’s Man (Azazel Jacobs). Directed by the son of filmmaker Ken Jacobs and featuring Ken and Flo Jacobs.
- Happy-Go-Lucky (Mike Leigh)
- 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu)
- Ballast (Lance Hammer)
- Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Woody Allen). Wendy and Lucy and The Wrestler got bumped from the list; VCB was too sexy and funny to resist.
- Lou Reed’s Berlin (Julian Schnabel). Arguably my most controversial selection. Among other things, that encore of “Candy Says” between Reed and Antony Hegarty knocked me flat. After seeing the film, I don’t feel so bad for having not gotten tickets to the actual performance.

The best way to kick a post-birthday wine & beer headache, to clear the fuzziness and make yourself right with the world– now that you’re 37 years old–is with a cup of tea and a chocolate cupcake made from scratch (thanks mihow!)

Accidental mid-blink selfie
(I know, I know, loose chinstrap.) I traded the hoodie for some Patagonia fleece. Now if only I could solve the icicle toes problem, no doubt exacerbated by my choice of footwear.
Two and 1/2 days until I’m done with work for the year! I know! I can do this kind of thing every day if I want to. What if I subjected you to the 12 Days of Missy Panda Shots? You might never come back, probably.

Often looks a little something like this:
~7:15 am, on the Brooklyn Bridge and in Tribeca. Temperature: mid-30s. If I look sleepy and grubby, it’s because I more or less roll out of bed and go. The shower and prettying comes later.
I also purchased a new point & shoot camera for these such occasions.
By the way, I’m about done deleting all of the duplicate archive posts that manifested when I migrated from MT to WP. Unfortunately, some of the comments went with them. At least my archives will now be slightly less painful to read through.
