Gabriel was a in a fussy mood as he was hauled off to school this morning. Perhaps it was because he was up til dawn studying, really pounding the books.
Great weekend of sports action - exciting playoff games, good college games (no more undefeated...) and what can I say about the Golden Globes, really... yay for Girls and Homeland and Maggie Smith and Ben Affleck.
I really like the HBO show Girls. I'm glad Julia and I went ahead and bought it on word of mouth. The only thing I don't like about is Hannah's boyfriend, an obnoxious, unappealing creation (played by Adam Driver).

I will blog every day this week but my number 1 goal, really, before the end of the week is to try to get some sort of angel or lead or idea about a job - or a way to make some money somehow. I think it would make me a lot happier. Julia and I are dying to get out of this shit smear of a town, and Lord knows she's doing her part. This town has long made me really restless. Italy and the summer can't come fast enough!

A performance today for list of the 500 Greatest Performances of All Time:
Christoph Waltz
as Colonle Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds (2009)
In honor of his Golden Globe win last night, it's perhaps fitting to recognize one of the great out-of-nowhere performances of all time. Waltz had a ball here - a merry terror - as one of modern cinema's most chilling creations: a puckish, intelligent, deliberate, thinking man's Jew-hunting Nazi. He won every critics award imaginable for the part. He has only about four or five scenes, but they're long, mesmerizingly great ones; you can't take your eyes off him.
