Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Movies

Looking forward to seeing Brokeback Mountain tonight with Agie (our men have no interest in seeing it - go figure) and I realized I haven't spread the word on a couple good flicks I've seen the last month or so.

We got passes to see an advance screening of Memoirs of a Geisha a couple weeks ago. As one who really enjoyed the book forever ago when it first came out, I was very excited about the film. I don't think it let me down too much. It was very well done with great acting and beautiful scenery.

Last week (maybe longer - right before Christmas) Jim and I went to see Syriana. I really enjoyed it and so did Jim. Pretty much the Traffic of oil. Katie gave it a hearty rec last night. Considering she's worked in the Middle East, DC, and Switzerland, it's a pretty good endorsement.
