At work the other day a couple came in to eat and I later learned that they were celebrating their 59. wedding anniversary. How incredible is that? I don't know how long the average couple is married, but it's probably less than 59 months, so 59 years is truly remarkable. The way things are going that won't happen to me, but I'd settle for just living another 59 years.

I haven't passed on a lot of links lately, but I found a link at Slatch to a site, where they stream the entire The Stills record, so I've been listening to that a lot lately.

I also really dig this picture from a San Francisco bookstore.

I found this article about the Roy Lichtenstein exhibit I went to recently, but forgot to link to it. But here it is now.

I finally got around to watching Ciao! Manhattan today and it was as weird as you'd expect. In case you haven't heard about the movie it's pretty much the life story of Edie Sedgwick played by herself (which is why it was billed as "the film that wrote itself"). It's a mix of Edie being strung out and rambling at her Mom's house and scenes from Andy Warhol's Factory. In my opinion you really have to be a fan of Edie's to get anything from this movie and therefore the most interesting bits for me was the bonus materiale, which featured an interview with the late George Plimpton and some outtakes. The movie actually features some interesting people and besides the Warhol crowd you also see Allen Ginsberg, Roger Vadim, and Uma Thurman's parents.

I pretty much work and blog all the time, but this Thursday I took time out to get all domestic and actually bake stuff. I'm not much of a chef, but all that kitchen work I've been doing has inspired me to try and make something myself. Besides when you have someone to cook for it's always a bit more interesting than just cooking for yourself.

The same evening I saw Punch Drunk Love, which is a strange little movie.
I like it when comedians try serious roles like Jim Carrey did with The Truman Show and Steve Martin did in The Spanish Prisoner (I was very impressed by Martin's performance in that movie). Maybe the role isn't such a stretch for Sandler, but he still puts on an interesting performance in an unusual movie.

Finally, I was very excited to see that the new Eddie Izzard show, Sexie, will be available on the 24th of November. Should be fabulous.

And I still can't believe I finally have a degree.
