Independently Intimate Directors is an interesting article, written by Dennis Lim, on two writer/director/producers, So Yong Kim and Bradley Rust Gray, whose work I’m interested in and admire. They also happen to be married to each other, and they work very closely on each other’s films. I really hope that I will be able to see both Treeless Mountain and The Exploding Girl in the very near future.

I’ve been missing L.A. a lot lately. It doesn’t help that I consistently get e-mails for great events that are happening there – Albert Maysles, Michel Gondry, Dave Eggers/Vendela Vida/Sam Mendes/Maya Rudolph, Mike Mills, etc. I haven’t been back in awhile, and I’m sure these films will be opening there before getting to Omaha, so one more reason to get out there sometime soon.

Cody got me this awesome brand new skateboard this weekend! Thanks Cody! I’m so excited to ride it, although it is so beautiful and clean that I almost want to just put it up on the wall. It will get all dirty if I ride it! I often have this problem of using things that I think are so lovely that I want to just keep them in pristine condition.

And look, it even matches my house!
