I have to make this quick. My bunny is demanding my attention and I'm keeping him distracted with a bowl of popcorn which won't last...

Over the past few days, I had the amazing opportunity to witness at least two historical events. This evening, I attended a lecture that Madeline Albright was giving in promoting her new book. I wish SHE was running for president. She was fascinating and had a lot to contribute regarding the upcoming elections. I can't wait for her book to come out in paperback. :) Hardcovers are too heavy to carry on the subway. She was brilliant and the absolute highlight of my day.

Crap...he's finished the popcorn. Ok, quick thoughts.

Last night, I attended the evening industry screening for "Charlie Wilson's War." It was frighteningly good! Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Amy Adams and the BRILLIANT Phillip Seymore Hoffman really drove the honesty of this story to the hills. Very clever script, excellent dialogue, savvy delivery! I had no idea... I guess this was in the McCarthy era that we covertly helped Afghanastan attain weapons to cease the Soviet attacks of on their people and in their camps. Then, today how are we re-paid for reaching out to the Afghans in their time of need...Osama. To put the blame on all of Afghanastan is as absurd as blaming the entire state of Texas for the death penalty...and George W. Bush. All major political atrocities that need some serious shifting. Anyway, it's a must-see film that I hate the Golden Globes are cancelled because it would be nice if someone won an award for this.

Lots of good movies this year. I saw the critics choice awards last night and close to 3/4 of actors didn't even show up to accept their wins because of the writers strike. I know the SAG Awards are taking place in two weeks...at least I think they still are.

Oh, final note. I've been having trouble with getting notices out to those who have subscribed. Will you comment and let me know if you received this?

Thanks bunches!!!
