Monday, December 27, 2004 The Pitch: It's like Christmas meets New Year's! Oh, work, work, work. Even though I've been here almost an hour and had to do nothing more strenuous than surf the Internet, I still feel like someone has taken a pair of tongs to my frontal lobe, stretched it across an anvil, and commenced hammering with a weighty mallet. There are 400 places I'd rather be right now, and 399 of them are some variation on being curled up in bed with Edi and listening to the rain.The holiday, what with its five day state of non-workingness, was mightily great. We went to Reno to see Edi's mom for Christmas and stayed at the Silver Legacy, my favorite hotel in Reno since it puts us only one elevator trip away from the oyster bar. Perhaps because of our recent cruise, Edi and I were also willing to avail ourselves of room service at all hours and I have to say, as a non-organized-religion guy, if midnight mass is unavoidable, nothing takes the sting off like a 3:00 a.m. meal of quesadillas and Rice Krispies. We also managed to see close to five movies in five days (and although I didn't see all of Burt Reynolds' Hooper on TBS, I saw enough to act like I did) without really trying too hard, thanks to the hotel TV's movies-on-demand feature. I really need to figure out another way to do movie reviews since all the films we saw are deserving of greater commentary (if only to show the schizophrenia of the selection, consisting as it does of: (1) Hooper; (2) Anchorman; (3) Sideways; (4) Collateral; and (5) Moulin Rouge). For now, I'll simply say, as a non-Tom Cruise kind of guy, if a midnight showing of Collateral is unavoidable, nothing takes the sting off like a B.L.T., french fries, and Rice Krispies. More later? I could see how that might happen. posted by Jeff Lester | 9:04 AM | |
