Baltimore - busy weekend. Huge success!

Had a lovely time in Baltimore, MD, last weekend.

Enjoyed the B&O Railroad Museum. Got to ride in the cab of the train

Saw the USS Constellation

And attended Baltimore ComicCon

I was very impressed with the city's dining and transportation options. Easy to get around (and for free, no less!) I would go back.

Beautiful night tonight...

I love Boston

In the summer, it's magnificent!

Just one of those days

Take bizarre pictures of myself. It's a sickness.

Day two down in the office. Neil and I are heading out for guacamole!

Vegas tomorrow.

La Jolla

Day one down. After work, stopped by La Jolla Cove. So lovely always.

The seals were out.

Steak dinner.

Listening to Endtapes by Joy Formidable
Feels years, leaves knots, Keeps apart

Palm trees

I've been to the San Diego airport so many times I lost count so why am I only just noticing the palm trees inside the building?

Settling in with room service and a book. Early start tomorrow.

Cali or bust

 Edward, in the wild, in Dover

Movie: Bel Ami

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1440732/

It is no secret that I am Team Edward. But Robert Pattinson... He really is a terrible actor. That being said, he is not what is wrong with the film. Bel Ami suffers greatly from a rushed plot, one that fails to define Georges and his horrible nature in any real way. It is only through the use of some sinister music and a close up of Rob - looking like he really needs to go to the bathroom - that we discover his true, angry side. It is over-used and ineffective. 

We are also rushed through the development of his relationships with the women he supposedly manipulates. Rob is not a skilled enough actor to swiftly move from these scenes where he first meets a women, then beds her, then casts her aside. We are often left wondering, what just happened? And the most rushed scene of all - the ending. Seriously, if you blink, you miss it and are left wondering, AGAIN, what just happened?

Perhaps I am just angry that all of those supposed scenes of his naked ass appear to be cut from the American release. Or maybe it is his greasy, non-Edward hair. Yes, I can be that easily swayed. If you feel the need to see this movie, then I highly recommend that you read the book first.

Listening to: Reckoner by Radiohead. Can't take it with you...

 

   ah Edward....

My first circus!

A little Stephen King in the morning. Followed, I hope, by my new water heater...

Rockport - April 2012

Last weekend before the condo is rented. Lovely all around.

Moved again

I've updated my blogger account and moved over to lobbylife.blogspot.com
Some posts have followed. Most have not. Oh well. I'll repost my London photos over the weekend.

No movie tonight. Other things to occupy my time.
