Rocket Man

Ah! The wonder of Transport! Just when I think that I making a 16th century wooden boat, it turns out to really be a rocket ship! This is what I have been spending most of my time doing lately. It is great to do while listening to music or books on tape (or mp3). I just finished listening to Bill Clinton's "My Life" read by Billy himself. It was very interesting, and I think an important document for future historians. I know better than to believe every word, or to think that there weren't deliberate omissions, but still it is a good personal account of the tough job of President. Today I am listening to Calexico and Muse (a Radiohead knock-off with a great website).

Marigold I went to see Closer the other night, because she wanted to. It was a great relationship-questioning thriller. Unfortunately, it was way too play-like for my tastes. Much of the dialog, minimal scenes/visuals, and lack of music kept it feeling like a stage play caught on film. I say if you are making a movie, make a movie. Still, it was really good and I would recommend it. Marigold and I talked about it for a long time afterwards, discussing who "won", who was the biggest ass, and how much we want to sleep with Jude Law.
