last night i spent a fine evening with molly at beer run. for those that aren't yet in the know, beer run is a fine new establishment in belmont, that is not only a gourmet grocery store, wine cellar, cafe and pub, but an exceptional eating establishment. molly and i split two entrees and i'm telling you, i practically licked my plate clean, it was that good.
afterwards we drank a couple of beers, ate fudge & cookies, and played boggle. it was quite a nice lead into the darkest night.
when i got home i lit my floating candle.
today after an appointment, errands and some laundry, i went downtown and took my daily walk. so many lovely houses in the neighborhoods near the downtown mall, decked out in their holiday finery.
and then i saw the movie, i'm not there. i thought it was deliciously odd. awesome acting, music, cinematography and sets, not without some camp and humor. even though it was chock full of big hollywood names, it was very creative and off beat. i'm sure i missed a lot of the more subtle and esoteric connections to bob dylan's songs and life and myth, but i stayed mostly afloat and was carried by the sheer beauty of it all. i can't wait to see it again! cate blanchett and charlotte gainsbourg are worth the price alone. and you must stay through the credits damn it (i was the only one left in the theater after ten seconds of credits)!!! you musn't miss sonic youth's version of i'm not there nor antony and the johnson's version of knockin' on heaven's door. yes!!!
