Hindsight

Matchstick Men was a nice catch today. I realize as I write this that I am suddenly conditioned to get a mild headache anytime I am near a computer. This is the result of working 12 hour shifts everyday last week and making a doctor’s visit because of a recent health condition. The overtime and illness is not a coincidence, that’s for sure. So stopping all activity related to both eBay and computing was ultimately relaxing.

Alison Lohman is fantastic, and so is Nicolas Cage. Sam Rockwell had me chuckling good, as his character was rather believable from start to finish.

Also interesting was the making of featurette. Whether or not you like him, Ridley Scott seems to have good work ethic. At least the documentary paints him as such.

The film was really strengthened by it’s editing. The frenetic pace of an otherwise boring scene here and there made the view pretty arresting. I was engaged. It’s worth catching.

Like a person who hasn’t been to the place he frequented every week, I return. But only briefly.

…I’ve been very busy.

At the moment I am working horrible hours. This evening was the first in the week that I’ve been home earlier than ten-thirty at night. We’re in “crunch time” at the studio and it looks to be this way into March. The nature of my job doesn’t allow me to talk about what I’m working on, but post mortem I will.

Things have still been the repitition of ups and downs. I choose not to post here as much, I have my outlets elsewhere now. I have done little outside of work. And while I would rather do more outside of work, I have to go with the [work]flow at the moment.

It’s been a solid month of introspection and reflection. I’ve said that before, sometime way far in the past. Another cycle I suppose.

More in time.
