i want to take you far from the cynics in this town

...this week, i started my new position at work. sometimes i wonder how i wound up where i am, but it's best not to question such things. for the most part, everyone has been great, and one of the team leaders has taken on a mentoring role to help me learn the ropes. my worst fear was that i was going to arrive on the floor and be completely useless, but that hasn't been the case so far. i'm appreciative of how patient everyone has been with me.

...went to see The Unknown on Wednesday night at the Khyber. it stars Lon Chaney as a circus performer and Joan Crawford as the woman he loves. it's an odd little film that i'm sure was quite disturbing to audiences in 1927. Chaney's reputation as the "Man of a Thousand Faces" is well-deserved here: watching his character's range of emotions play across his face is completely riveting.

...stayed in Thursday night to catch up on rest. i haven't been sleeping well lately, so a night at home is required from time to time. i had intended to watch City of God, but fell asleep on the couch for 3 hours and then went to bed. oh well, guess i needed the sleep.

...i'm working this weekend, so i won't be at brunch - i will be at movie night though.

sometimes I wonder why some people get all hung up on capitalization and punctuation on the freaking internet

Cripes. I'm out of town less than a week and all hell breaks loose. Petty fights on friend's blogs, insane world leaders come to town...what's next?

J-Rat and Starwhip: there are genuine Montreal bagels waiting for you at my house. Get'em while they're fresh. I'll also be at the anna leonowens gallery Monday for the opening.
michegan frog: I don't know who you are, so no bagels for you.

Woot!

Rod -
Is it possible for you to bring said bagels to the Anna opening? I'll make a point of going if so. And I may wind up going there with the Coop after work anyway.


Other guy -
You're an obnoxious dork. Joke!!

xo, Becka
