The most spontaneous thing I’ve ever done
24 hours ago, I was on the phone with a reservations agent, booking this flight halfway around the world.
24 hours from now, I will be in Sydney, Australia – the farthest I’ve ever been from home.
Thank you, B, for making this adventure possible.
Yummy Noodles
Yes, that’s the name of the place on Bowery. And yes, the noodles are yummy, if a little farther than I usually venture from the Canal Street subway station for lunch on a work day.
The noodle shop welcomes both Cantonese and non-Cantonese speakers alike.
Not destined to make a sound
At the Gen Art Film Festival for a screening of When a Man Falls in the Forest. I don’t know that this film was ever released in theaters. Not surprising, given the rather trite material, but it seems a pity that more people won’t get the chance to see the brilliant (and brutal) scene where Timothy Hutton’s character leaves a rambling, pleading confessional voicemail message for his estranged wife (Sharon Stone). It’s all done in a single lingering close-up take — and though it feels too real to have been entirely scripted, we learned this night that it was. Every word.
