Okay okay this isn't strictly about what I'm reading (which is nothing, by the way - unless you want to count the Independent or Communications. I don't). I am at this very moment manning a laptop in the main box office for the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. As you might guess, there isn't much going on here. I don't have anything to do.


But that figures. It's day three of the four day festival.

Got out of volunteering on Thursday night as it was mostly dead. And so, I snuck in to see a little bit of The Siamese Connection with a friend. Not enough to make any clear decisions as to whether it was good/bad. What I did see was a rambling conversation as these two characters wandered one house that the siamese twins lived in near Mt Airy, NC about a hundred years back.

Yesterday I watched part 1 of New Americans, which was quite good. It chronicled the lives of several families emmigrating to the United States. It is showing twice here and in three parts. The directors told us that we're seeing the 'short' 6 hour version. I hope to see part 2 tomorrow.

Today was my jackpot day. So far: The Mosquito Problem and Other Stories and The Order of Myths. Myths ROCKS. Got my vote. Mosquito was funny but didn't quite tell the whole story; it could have gone a little further. Enunciated, if you will. Definitely enjoyed them both.

Hoping to see a couple more movies before the end of the weekend.
