Stupid Firewalls

• There’s a Firewall that was put in place at work, so I can no longer blog during my lunch hour at work, so I don’t know how often I’ll be blogging now (it also means when I log in from home on my laptop that I’m blocked).  So, anyway, here’s a quick bit of what’s happening.
• Reading Fortress of Solitude by Johnathan Lethem.  I was turned on to him by Hutch, when he let me know that he was speaking at the Cleveland Institute of Art.  Very interesting guy to listen to.  The book is very good so far.  Thinking of picking up some of his others when I finish.
• Haven’t watched it yet, but I finally recorded 200 Motels off TCM.  Looking forward to seeing the Mothers film.
• My iPod is finally destroyed, so I’ve been basically music-less at work (and on the way to work).  Listening to CDs at home with Ethan (he was jamming to Talking Heads while eating dinner – made me so pround).  I had a couple albums on Windows Media Player (stop snickering), so I at least had DJ Shadow, Dead Milkmen, and the Kids in the Hall Brain Candy soundtrack to listen to.
• Speaking of, heard the Kids in the Hall are working on a new film.  Sweet.
• Haven’t written much in the past couple of weeks, but the writing had been going well – really enjoying what’s been tapping on the keyboard for both the books I’m trying to write now.
• It was fun watching Penguin Ethan walk door to door on Halloween.  Can’t eat majority of the candy he received due to his Milk issue, but I think he had a good time anyway.
• That’s it for now.  HOpefully, I will log back in again before the year is out.
