goals for the day

shower (yes, some days that's harder to get done and has to be put on the top of the list)

thank you notes

target shopping (toilet paper, binder tab separators, and other things that slip my mind but will hopefully return before I'm pushing around a buggy)

order catalog stuff

dye fabric (that I have totally been ignoring - and may continue to do so)

finish crop data binder

film festival for two evening films (or not - drive two hours for a 13 minute film about Spam - the canned meat and another 42 minute film about the man who created some very well known commercials)

edit:

did not finish crop binder, but did get ozark papers into a new binder

did not go to film festival, but got to see a big dog do a fancy jig and watched a friend study

sunday - half day - 11 films

I didn't wake up, shower, and leave my house in time to see one of the films on my "really want to see" list - Warrior Champions, but I did screen 11 films for my first day in Hot Springs

Striking Metal / Tira Bakal - family in Philippines recreates the crucifixion day every year on Good Friday, and one year someone volunteers to have his hands nailed to the cross (interesting)

And What Remains - father and son travel to a small town in Kansas and visit a grave (pretty terrible)

When I'm Not Alone - female raised as male for 28 years, severely abused by family, lives his own life in a supportive environment (good)

First and Loveliss - Lloyd and Jackie are friends; he's an extravagant southern male who has traveled and collected stuff; they do puzzles (excellent)

Out There - gay couple in North Little Rock talk to the camera (pretty terrible)

No Sana Hoy - girl talks to her dementia-addled grandmother about her home, possibly Havana (just god awful, but I don't think we got to see the whole film - instead maybe 10 minutes?)

Miya of Quiet Strength - woman survives 1991 University of Iowa shootings, survives her wheelchair going crazed and throwing her onto subway lines, to get inflammatory breast cancer (good)

Looking for Roots - following the Jewish tradition of remembering, film maker allows grandfather to tell Auschwitz story, and family travels to Romanian home for the first time since WWII (good)

Who is Bozo Texino? - study of the signatures/tags of hobos and some railroad workers on train cars (bad camera work - not enjoyable)

Seven Signs - film maker interviews people across different places in "the south" (half excellent - half crap; thought about buying the dvd)

The Narcotic Farm - federal prison in Lexington Kentucky for drug addicts in the 50's and 60's conducted world-wide groundbreaking research at addiction research center (excellent - want everyone to see this one)
