on a quest to see a film...

music: the hold steady- separation sunday
mood: hungry & tired (today feels looooong)

its been a couple of years, two i think, since ive attended cinequest. prior to my not attending, i had gone for 5 or 6 straight years. i stopped because the festival was getting too popular and even having purchased advance tickets for screenings, getting in wasn't guaranteed because of hoity-toity badge holders. bah! ive kinda missed going though.

so driving through downtown san jose today i was reminded by the red street light banners that cinequest starts pretty much today.... dang. i hadnt even had a chance to thoroughly look through the program guide. now im at work quickly trying to look at what sounds interesting, and what showtimes are feasible for me, and which shows are least likely to require me getting there 3 hours early.

i decided this one could be interesting. ive always had love for william h. i also want to see "thank you for smoking" but i'll wait til its released officially so that i can organize an outing with some of our youth advocates... during work time! hey! its a work-related film. see for youself. but what else is there? i need suggestions. whats the buzz? what about this one? im not really too sure about this one... could be cliche. im always a little skeptical of woody allen comparisons... so not sure about the west wittering affair. i usually try to attend both the comedic shorts and the student shorts, but not too sure this year. its hit or miss and the comedy shorts are always soooo crowded. i think this year i might try out the animated shorts. i wonder if the animated short that lauren worked on got in. it should have... it made it to sundance afterall. i'll have to spend more time looking through the emerging mavericks and new vision category.

please let me know if you have any suggestions.

isnt it time to go home yet? or go have dinner at krung thai w/ joce, lulu and tyler?? i think its a choo-chee tofu kinda night. then later its part I of the finale of project runway... and a cheese medley-extravaganza.

ok. thats all thats in my mind for now.

i will miss you tonite jack bauer! i truly will.
