All advice is autobiographical
It’s one of my theories that when people give you advice, they’re really just talking to themselves in the past. This list is me talking to a previous version of myself. from How to Steal Like an Artist

★★★ Let the Right One In
★★★  Let the Right One In Oscar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl who turns out to be a vampire. Entertaining, spare, new take on the genre. Kind of puts the innocence back into vampirism.

Addicted to Pawn Stars
★★★★   I discounted this show as another bullshit attempt to fill airtime on extended cable but History Channel’s Pawn Stars is hugely educational, fascinating, and entertaining. This is Antiques Roadshow Vegas style and offers bite-sized cultural anthropological nuggets in every episode.

Beautiful Day
I’m up in the San Juan Islands and today was incredible. Sunny and low 60’s. I spent the day on Lopez Island.

Baker was out in the background behind the islands. A notable trait of Lopez...

The Social Network
When I saw a preview for The Social Network about a month ago, I couldn’t believe anyone would spend the time and money to make a movie about Facebook. Now the reviews are out and it sounds very good. Written by Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men) and directed by David Fincher (The Game, Fight Club, Panic Room), it sounds like a winner. I’m with Bob Mondelo on Fincher as a director: When...
