niners win!

so we won and the vikings won, soooooo that means we get the bye next week. rest up justin smith and vernon davis.

les miz

must belated viewing: les miserables. i had heard the early mixed reviews from friends and les miz enthusiast but i had to watch it for myself. heck, i was counting down the days with the vulture's advent calendar. so yes russell crowe does not sing the javert role as his broadway predecessors. he has been getting lots of flack. sure us die hard miserables love some baritone goodness, but we have to remember this is film not the stage. hugh jackman is good as the tortured lead valjean and gives his all. he said the training was harder than playing wolverine. anne hathaway breathes new light to "i dreamed a dream," as a truly down in her luck ballad. the truly lovely treat was colm wilkinson as the bishop. (thanks jac for cluing me in.)  wilkinson was valjean in the 10th anniversary cast, which for me is what i grew up on. in conclusion, i liked tom hooper's adaption but it made me long to watch the 10th anniversary again.

trophy tour

so come january 19, somewhere in new york the 2010 and 2012 world series trophies will be on display.  who's coming with me?

niners win!

why does clinching a playoff spot not feel as satisfying as it should?  maybe daisy is rubbing off on me.  okay that first half was amazing last night.  randy moss catching the first td at foxborough was pretty sweet. (i actually missed that live since i was partaking in a ladies only holiday feast.)  faithful fans, that second half was a doozy.  we all know tom brady is a robot and is always on a mission to destroy leads, but thankfully our defense stuffed him in the final minutes.  this sunday in prime time again, we will square off against division rivals, the seattle seahawks. we are off a big win and let's hope we have enough for another one to clinch the division.

fltgc returns

belated/early fltgc: thursday night gallery crawl.  i've been snoozing on the friday crawling, but had a rare night off from kula to relish some openings. first up mickalene thomas at lehmann maupin, then frosch&portmann. 

daughter

i first discovered daughter when i stumbled across their track "youth" when i was trying to find clips for a video score i was working on. realized i just missed them at cmj, so i'll have to wait for the next time they come stateside. for now enjoying this:

niners win!

from fukuyama, with love

the girls of pompette made it stateside. fell in love with them on my recent trip to japan and yuko was kind enough to send me the lovely lasses to brooklyn.  just in time for holiday season, they make delightful presies.
