good luck

went to see "Good Night, and Good Luck."--an impeccably-tailored film that's as firm an indictment of the current W era as it is of McCarthyism. exciting to see a nuanced appeal for intelligence and empathetic reason--qualities in such short supply these days!

listening to "In the Heart of the Moon" from Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté, in an effort to counteract the incredible grey outside the window. looking forward tonight to a play-reading...the new in-progress translation of "Whiskey Bars" from Bremner Duthie. it'll be a good reason to get me out of the house (well, that and les soldes, which started in Paris yesterday...anybody else notice the great piles of shopping bags crammed onto the metro last night?)
