Dear Readers,


I now consider this blog to be my Juvenelia. Have fun perusing the archives, and find me at my new haunt, here.

"Once"

Go see this movie, immediately. If you want to see the glowing praise it's getting, read about it here, here and here. It was one of the best, sweetest, simplest movies I've seen in ages. And it reminded me of the best part of my all-too-brief time spent living in Ireland--the spontaneous gatherings, the casual and warm intimacy that never gets too intimate, the tea always pouring and empty bottles accumulating, the celebration of creativity above drive and determination, and the poignant romance that can be found in the meeting of soft green land with endless grey sky.
