Today is a flying-back-to-L.A.-on-Continental- Airlines day. An hour and 20 minutes before I need to leave and I haven't even packed yet, so that's it for stories and postings until I get to Newark Airport ....maybe. In fond memory of the last month or so, some final snaps...

8th Avenue and 53rd...or something close to that -- Friday, 1.5.07, 2:50 pm; there but for the grace of God; rain always helps; I just realize what Helen Mirren needs to do to get away from her inevitable-Best Actress-recipient aura of loftiness, which a lot of people out there are getting sick of -- she needs to do a carefuly lighted, black-and-white Charlize Theron photo session, and thereby blow the whole prim-and-proper Queen Elizabeth thing out of the water; parking rage; sea bass ordered and slowly consumed (so as to fully savor every bite) at Friday lunch with the Warner Bros. new media publicity guys

Thanks for giving a taste of the great city. Have a safe flight. Here in LA, Time Warner Cable has knocked out all of the wireless connectivity. Yippee! Winter storm brought chilly winds. Godspeed.

Sad to see you go from our great city. Wish there could have been more of a real NYC winter for you to experience but, you know, with global warming and all...

Hope Mr. Wells is as happy as I am to hear the National Society of Film Critics named Pan's Labyrinth best film of the year and Greengrass took best director. Subtitled cinema lives! UK cinema lives! Sadly, O'Toole lost in a tiebreaker to Whitaker, but good for Forest Whitaker for taking best actor, along with Mirren for actress. Yes, this is getting boring but them's the breaks...
