Okay, I’m not a regular in the blogosphere. I have a wife, two children, ten novels eating at my soul, a job, and I somehow do triathalons. However, I’ll stop by here and read your reviews. I was on a mind-numbing conference call and reading Ebert’s reviews when he referenced this site. He was right. The writing is wonderful.
So my question to you is this…what books do you have out there and what are you writing? You definitely have the gift.
No books…just musings. Maybe when I win that lottery.
Thanks for the comment. I’m flattered.
Read your musing on the ideal job and had just the tinge of wistful longing I believe it was meant to inspire.
Then I realized…hang on, I had that job, more or less. And it was kinda great. The longing, though, never seems to really go away.
Grace: what didn’t go away…the longing for that job, or the longing for something else?
Wait, did you have your ideal job or my ideal job?
the longing period. who knows what for?
naturally it was my ideal job and not yours but it sounded similar – writing film reviews and travelling to pretty much wherever i wanted to go to write/shoot. minus the fashion. never did get that one.
Grace: just wishful thinking on my part then.
Three out of four isn’t bad. I’m not greedy…I’d give up shoes for that.
I admire your writing. Do you have a twitter or facebook account? I’m having trouble trying to find it on here. I would love to add you onto both, email me them if you wish. =)

Good writing skills you got there. it seems that you’re a very interesting person as well. i will keep a look out for your posts. do have a look at mine as well.
:)
just want to say sorry.. keep up with the musings
Grace: apology accepted. Don’t stop writing.
Hey Grace, I LOVE your writing. You really do have talent. Rarely found, and never duplicated. :)
Wow. Just listened to, then read, your review of Last Train Home. After reading and watching your post about FUTURESTATES. (Had just found the link to the plastic bag one a few days ago; amazing! Silver Sling… what a choice to have to make…)
Cleaning up my Google Reader. Many are going off. YOU are going on. :-) (Thx to Roger Ebert for the tip to come check you out.)
Grace: Delighted to make your Google Reader!
hello there Grace! your writings are inspiring from what i see. i hope you can spend some time checking my site too! God bless :)
Movie question: who would you say is your favourite composer for movie scores? I lean towards Danny Elfman.
Grace: I’m no expert here, and this may be an easy choice, but John Williams has never disappointed.
Good choice. I have his greatest hits from 1969-1999. The Raider’s March from Raiders of the Lost Ark really cheers me up.
Grace: Yeah. The consistency and longevity of his output is just astonishing.
Just stumbled upon your blog and it’s a joy to read it :)
Thanks to your site I found The Poutine Chronicles on your list of Worthy Stops. As a young man from Quebec currently living in Ontario, all I can say is merci beaucoup.
Grace: C’est le meilleur!
