winter weather warning bummer.

I just received the best birthday present ever; Strange Waltz. It's an Elliott Smith compilation DVD with the documentary Strange Parallel, two fan-shot concerts and Tv appearances on SNL, Letterman and Conan O'Brien. This compilation is great, and even the fan-shot video has surprisingly good audio quality. I absolutely love it, and Interscope/Dreamworks should definitely green-light an official concert DVD. Elliott's music deserves to be heard and seen by a larger audience.


I'm stuck in the house since the roads are covered in snow, so I figure I'll finish reading Nausea.

Aint got the power anymore

sunday morning french movies

I'm watching Regular Lovers, and it's pretty good. Its a new wave french film with lots of gorgeous Gallic actors and actresses (e.g. Louis Garrel). It's absolutely perfect for this overcast day.
