I don’t feel like giving a full review, but let me just say that (a) I loved the movie Blood Diamond, and (b) I bawled my eyes out. Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connelly were all masterful. And the writing was excellent.

3 out of 5 ex-boyfriends polled say that I prefer to be in a constant state of crisis. Maybe I just give a shit.

My heart always told me that people are inherently good. My experiences suggest otherwise. But what about you, Mr. Archer? In your long career as a journalist, would you say that people are mostly good?

No. I’d say they’re just people.

Exactly. It is what they do that makes them good or bad. A moment of love, even in a bad man, can give meaning to a life.

Sometimes I wonder, will God ever forgive us for what we’ve done to each other? Then I look around and I realize, God left this place a long time ago.

Blown. Is. Mind.

Partnership

It’s not a fairytale, exactly, but maybe it’s better. Maybe it’s the real thing.

If you are in (or visiting) Cincinnati, GO HERE NOW:

Space 513

Also GO THERE NOW if you just like neat stuff, because it’s tré cool. I’d love to do something similar (maybe for Houston? or Pittsburgh?) but, um, I have stories to write and people who will yell at me if I don’t…

1. Riley passed. Totally didn’t deserve to, but his trainer (Steve) is awesome, and we all agree he’ll probably deserve to pass legitimately in a few months.

2. I am about two seconds away from buying a Macbook Air on impulse. MUST. CONTROL. THE URGE.

This is my life.

From the movie Miss Potter:

There’s something quite delicious about writing the first words of a story.

Eat Drink Man Woman is a GREAT movie!!

Very Asian, very cute, very real, very unexpected endings.

I should keep it in mind for The Good Daughters revision… Aiya, that stupid revision is going to kill me.

As Andy will groan and tell you, this is SO ME:

(No, seriously.)

Also, this one’s just hilarious:

Baby’s First Internet, brought to my attention via Blurbomat.

I’m sure they do it for like every city, but a coworker told me about Capture Cincinnati and I thought it was pretty cool. There are some really great photos there, so check ‘em out. (And yes, disclosure: I decided to participate.)
