just RSVPed for my first press screening in London…
It’s for a screening of James Cameron’s Sanctum, a week after I arrive. The move is getting more real by the moment…
New York to London
what am I keeping? my LCD flatscreen and my desk…
One was much too expensive to bear investing in again, and the other was such a crazy bargain that it has hopelessly endeared it to me…
what am I keeping? my good china
One of the things that I absolutely could not bear to part with is the set of china I bought years ago: I hardly ever used it, but somehow it feels like it defines me, or at least a part of me…
my apartment is almost empty…
…and the rooms echo not only with sound but with lost opportunities…
what am I keeping? some Christmas ornaments, for one
I think it was the first Christmas in my own apartment when I found — in a Conran’s store that is long since gone — a collection of ornaments made of heavy paper depicting Robin Hood and his band of merry men (and woman)…
one good thing about preparing to move house without most of your stuff
There was a disgusting greasy dirty bowl in the sink. It had a chip in it, which meant it couldn’t even be donated to the thrift shop like I’ll do with a bunch of other kitchenware. So I threw it away instead of washing it.
saying good-bye to my books
I’ve been emptying out my apartment for weeks now, but it didn’t really start to feel empty till I sold my bookshelves…
final (for now) FlickFilosopher get-together in NYC on Saturday, January 15
In anticipation of my flying out of New York and returning who-knows-when, I invite any and all to join me for drinks and generally revelry somewhere in Manhattan on Saturday, January 15.
booking my flight to London… or not
I was just at the point, this morning, of confirming my reservation to fly out of New York to London on Tuesday, January 18, when the British Airways Web site crashed — it’s apparently under heavy load from everyone whose travel got disrupted by the snow in England trying to rebook, or get information, or whatever. Gah!
