Usually I hate this time of the year. Maybe it's because I didn't know how to relax and enjoy life. Even though everything shuts down and nothing is going on work-wise, I'm certainly enjoying this holiday season in New York.

Saw a great movie last week. MILLION DOLLAR BABY. It's probably Clint Eastwood's finest film. At times, I felt like I was watching a Bresson film. If you think about his career, it's mind-boggling. He started in spaghetti westerns, peaked in DIRTY HARRY, directed movies like PLAY MISTY FOR ME and now this. He's certainly my favorite director.
