December seems to have forty percent fewer livable, workable hours than any other month. Now that Christmas is gone and my dog’s obedience training is coming along nicely, I’m hoping to do a few things: get back to the blog regularly and catch up on all the movies I haven’t had time to go see lately:

• About Schmidt,
• Adaptation
• Catch Me If You Can
• Far from Heaven
• Gangs of New York
• Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
• Morvern Callar
• Narc
• Solaris
• The 25th Hour
• Et cetera.
