Random thoughts for the end of the day:

— No poetry tonight.

— Worked on writing, submissions, and work stuff all day.  More to go, with an imminent break for cleaning.

— Taking a quick break here for a little bit o’ Kill Bill, Vol. 1…a movie I enjoy for its undertone of the Love of the Blade that rivals my own, more than for the story.

— Oscars tonight; I usually catch a little of it, more to be able to talk to others about it than from any real interest.  I saw one movie in the theater last year, "Dark Knight," which mostly left me cold.  I’m just not into movies anymore, really.  Hollywood’s pretty much of no interest, and its self-congratulatory annual orgy of boredom is more interesting to me as a cultural artifact than for anything it purportedly stands for.  I watch movies to kill time; what I watch is of little importance.  Background, mostly.  Filler.
