I’ve had this winter hat for about 6+ years.  I bought it at an H&M in Philadelphia on a chilly visit to see Gregg and Josh.  I believe it cost $6.  But then again, it seems like everything at H&M costs about $6.

The hat was a great companion (those who know me know my affection for hats, especially winter hats), but it is time to say goodbye.  It’ll be football season soon, so I’ll have to find a replacement to keep me warm as I watch the Jets struggle through another season of drama.

I found The Bhagavad-Gita walking down Main St. in Beacon.  It was outside on a book rack with other free books.  This was months ago.  I started reading it and put it down because Life of Pi was pulling me a little harder, and I’m the kind of person who can only read one thing at a time.  That said, I also put down Life of Pi in favor of trudging my way through Lost, all 100+ episodes.  I’m almost finished with that series, so if any of you have anything to say about Lost, please hold off for another month or so.

I do want to eventually read The Bhagavad-Gita, but I don’t need to keep it on my desk while waiting.  It found me once, it will find me again.

Thing 50.  Wow.

Okay, I loved this movie.  I’m a big fan of Oliver Stone.  And Bob Richardson, who was my idol when I was deeply motivated to become a Director of Photography.  I was a PA on set with Richardson when he shot the Scorsese’s Bringing out the Dead.  Fantastic to watch.

I saw JFK in the theater (maybe twice) and then multiple viewings on DVD.  However, I have so little time to watch movies (especially 3 hour long movies) that I have to let this go.  Plus, I imagine I can find it in a remastered higher resolution somewhere on the interwebs.  Which would be awesome.

What a great band. They brought so much fuel to the fire of my youth. I’ll commit this to my digital music library and then off it goes.

I have not a clue where this came from.  Possibly attached to a larger holiday gift or as a give away.  When used, the LED emits a pretty bright blue, great for seeing the lock you’re trying to open with your keys.  But I never got the concept of having this as your keychain and having to fumble with it as you’re trying to open your door.  Plus, every cell phone has some kind of flashlight app, so I’m covered.
