thehefner | Tuscaloosa Report (Reply)

Henchgirl and I spent Valentine's Day being the kind of people we've hated all our lives. We're deeply ashamed.

I fear that we're living an obnoxiously quirky indie movie, the sort where the soundtrack is by, like, the Moldy Peaches, even though neither of us listens to twee music. We came to this revelation after watching ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, and I must say, it was rather inspired of me to make a double-feature of that and MEMENTO. I just love it when films really complement each other.

So yeah, I'm in Tuscaloosa, waiting for my press materials for THE HEFNER MONOLOGUES to arrive in the mail so we can hit the long road to Fresno's Rogue Performance Festival. Many things planned: Disneyland, LA, Vegas, Route 66, and Chicago, to name a few.

I'm still trying to figure out how I'll be able to get at least an hour online for Tuesdays (for Two-Face Tuesdays) and Wednesdays (for catching last night's LOST on abc.com). I have to find places that have not just free wi-fi, but also an outlet, as my battery currently holds ten minutes of charge.

I keep putting off getting a new battery because 1.) they're expensive, and 2.) I keep weighing the options of getting a new mac laptop. My Powerbook G4 is almost four years old. I'm just not sure if I should wait for the new model to come out, or to buy a refurbished one, and I wouldn't know where to start with that.

Links of note:

An illustrated timeline of time travel in film and TV. I want this as a poster.

Esquire on Roger Ebert's battles with cancer and silence. I haven't actually read this yet, but it was recommended by the AV Club, and Ebert has always fascinated me. Now more than ever, as his Twitter is one of the only feeds I actively look forward to reading.

EDIT: Just read it. Wow. Definitely worth reading. Powerful, heartbreaking, and downright moving.
