Go Ask Alice

Visiting my old office for the first time since I left the job, last year, I kept thinking how small it all looked. You know, like going back to grade school, years later.

Except that I'm definitely not any taller, in this case. (Instead, the looking glass I've walked through consists of the shiny doors of a big ol' downtown skyscraper.)

Later on, while some former coworkers and I were nattering away over happy hour at Toi, the whole scene reminded me that I met some of my favorite Seattle people, in that dimly-lit little Belltown office suite: Jen M, MJ, Sandra, Randall, etc. Sigh.

Not that I would ever work there, again.

Anyway, looks like a bunch of us are going to hang out again, on Friday. :)

El Laberinto del Fauno

You know, when critics start talking about Guillermo del Toro's new movie as a "morbidly bewitching fantasy," and the director nods significantly to Garcia Marquez and Borges, I am so there.

I know that marginalia's with me, but who else is ready to camp out in front of the theater?

Not convinced? Check out the goddamned preview ...
