I Love(d) Watching:

  • One of my heroes is the person who invented TIVO. TIVO makes one of my great daily pleasures possible: watching Jon Stewart every night, and now the Yankees (this is how Aaron and I keep our relationship alive!), and John Adams on HBO.
  • I haven’t been to the movies in a while, partly because there hasn’t been anything I’ve wanted to see. But now I hear The Visitor is excellent. Since it’s directed by the man who directed The Station Agent, I’m going to do everything I can to see it this weekend. Same for South Pacific at Lincoln Center.
  • “Portraits of a Lady” about a group of artists who each painted a portrait of Sandra Day O’Connor. In the film she talks all the way through the sitting — revealing how down-to-earth, how Western (in the cowgirl sense), and how funny she is.
