Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.

— Franz Kafka

Well it's been a while, hasn't it? I'm gonna start this puppy up again, and hopefully keep at it more regularly. I'll probably being posting a movies and music round up of 2005 in the next few weeks as I catch up on what the year had to offer.

In the meantime, check out Matt Zoller Seitz's blog "The House Next Door" added on the sidebar. Seitz is one of my favorite critics and one of the few to notice just how great The New World is. (I guess I just gave away my best of 2005 there, oh well!)

See you soon.
