The 500 Club

So I'm currently watching my 494th film this year. It's one of three films that the Danish Film Institute sent me. Even though we already have two Danish films confirmed for th festival already, I still want to check these out.

I am finally upstairs in my screening room (well my office with a futon and TV in the corner) since I moved my multi-region DVD player upstairs. I really should start scanning those old pictures for mom and dad, I guess I'll get to it eventually.

Last night was a great night, went over to Beth's with Debby, Natalie, Ginne and Stacy to bake and decorate cookies. OK, you may think this is lame but anything at Beth's house is entertaining and fun, and if you throw in a punch bowl full of vodka, it only exacerbates the insanity. I still can't believe that Patrick and Jason showed up and actually took part in the decorating. Natalie and Ginne both got sick, though I am worried that they have something that they could have easily passed on to me, the combination of cookie dough, truffles and cheese dips (and aforementioned vodka punch) could have done the trick. But that leaves me thinking, am I now immune to the sickening effects of sugar, sugar, alcohol, sugar, cheese, sugar, cheese, and a little broccoli mixed in (for good measure) - at least I can tell my doctor I'm eating broccoli.

As I sit here, with one eye reading the subtitles to the film and one eye glancing down to make sure my fingers are on the right keys I'm thinking of all that I need to do before Christmas, not only all of the shopping, etc, but the work stuff, confirm at least 30 more films, get organized at the office and watch at least 40 more films. At least I'll get to 500 today (or tomorrow morning). Wish me luck.
