Brad Pitt is this week's featured illustration. ¶ Last night was our fifth of ten sailing class and it proved to be worthy. The breeze was lackluster but the feeling was positive. My confidence, roughly speaking here, is slowly increasing. I'm convinced that this sort of thing is a private language: my confidence may very well be higher than those that report high confidence. I'm reluctant to overstate the case, however, because of a near infinite number of reasons that exist in the self. Having said that, I'm beginning to see the Matrix in the code, and that's always exciting. My strength is muted: I'm fairly good at everything, I excel at nothing. What's beginning to emerge is the first stages of second nature. Everyone is after second nature. ¶ We saw Robert Altman's Gosford Park last evening. Not only is this a beautifully shot film with enough plot to keep you playing along but it's also quite touching. I suspect achieving this sort of thing on film is not easy. ¶ I'm new to the Judd Apatow world, and, though I rank low on the "biggest fan" scale, I'm enjoying the ride immensely. Most recently in the form of Knocked Up and, as I've mentioned before on Siteway, Freaks & Geeks. It took me some time to warm to Seth Rogen, the actor. Suprisingly, he actually made gains with me in the silly and misguided You, Me, and Dupree. Only a certain kind of Matt Dillon fan can enjoy his silly movies, of which there are plently. If you're going to watch one, I'd say give One Night at McCool's a whirl. This is classic "oh I hated it/turned it off/walked out on it" material based largely on how hard it tried (and, as a result, failed), but to me it's still a fun distraction. I'd rather a dozen of these misguided ensemble Hollywood romps over so-called spoof comedies which peaked when I was in junior high. ¶ Some time ago I had Kavin build me a Flash browser for Siteway illustrations. You can see the beginnings of it implemented here. More to browse soon. ¶ I've put up some pictures of my soon-to-be new office in Toronto over on flickr. ¶ Jake Gittes: Why are you doing it? How much better can you eat? What can you buy that you can't already afford? / Noah Cross: The future, Mr. Gittes, the future.
