Things For Today

Sausage gravy and challah french toast - Brooklyn Label.

Bocce madness (even won a couple times) - McCarren Park.

Bianca pizza (tasty, but way too pricy) - Una Pizza Napoletana.

Taro ice cream with chocolate chips - Sundaes and Cones.

Last but not least... Samuel R. Delaney has (so far) had 50,000 sex partners.

Lots to say about the Tribeca Film Festival, but I think I'm going to save most of it for when it's all over and I've recovered fully. I'm taking lots of notes.

There's a movie I saw today called Normal Adolescent Behavior with Amber Tamblyn and Kelli Garner that is my favorite of the festival so far. I think it may very well win the viewer's choice Cadillac award, and I think Beth Schacter (the writer/director) is the 21st century John Hughes.

P.S.

Sam Delaney is my new hero. Not because he's had 50k sex partners, but because I feel a strong intellectual and ethical kinship with him. I identify with him a great deal after watching his video memoir and hearing his words and opinions, and I should have told him so because he was there and he was a very friendly sort. Why didn't I talk to him after the showing? I continue to be a chicken heart despite my gains in confidence.

At least I managed to get Alan Rickman's autograph for Jen...
