    K and I got a bit blotto and watched the first four Alien films, none of which she'd ever seen. She liked them, and I find it interesting that she found the alien creature so compelling an antagonist. We both appreciated the grounded feel of the series, the third film being the worst offender in its boasting zero sense of time or space. I was particularly taken this time by Weaver's performance. Has anybody else realized how amazing it is?

    Verdict: First film best, unanimous.

    SHOCK.

    I thought you were my friend in thinking Resurrection to be the best.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Oh, I still like that one quite a bit, particularly Weaver's performance. Her playing half-alien without being ridiculous is wow. But the thoroughness of Alien's production, the sheer streamlined perfection of it is too impressive. I love the freewheeling approach to dialogue, mumbling and talking over lines and making noises, almost Altman par.

    Also, Winona Ryder was, hmm... well... she's no Joan Fontaine, let's say. Unconvincing isn't strong enough. Hardly a debilitating strike, but she was kinda nails-chalkboardy.

    Lovely Christmas. Good food. Great family. Many nice gifts.



    My favorite. This is a hand-carved nativity in ebony from Ghana.


    Wow, yes, that's really beautiful!

    My booty:

    * Some nice warm shirts (no more taking out the trash topless!)
    * A nice bathrobe to wear to the bus stop with my second grader and to her parent-teacher conferences.
    * A 50$ iTunes card with which to complete my Justin Bieber backcatalog.
    * Some charming-looking film starring the guy who played Thor about a cabin in the woods. I'm gonna make some hot cider tonight and cuddle up with my wife and watch it. If it's anything like Dolly Parton's Smokey Mountain Christmas movies, I think we're going to be in for a real treat.

    My haul:

    Nothing! Exactly what I wanted.

    Bought myself an Elektron Analog Four - should be here in January sometime, as soon as those crazy Swedes build it.


    Prime-rib turned out AMAZING, as did my famous potatoes.

    Such a great day.

Plus I went bowling up at my grandparents with the relatives, and while I failed to break a 100 I had fun (and enjoyed a tall glass of Blue Moon). So yeah it was a good day.
