ennui… and some developments

wow. i can't believe it took me this long to get started again.

oddly enough, it was only when i started getting overwhelmed by various commitments again that i decided to do something about my much-neglected blog.

the past week has been, to say the least, nerve-wracking. for a while there, i doubted my own capacity to cope but i eventually managed to reach the finish line. i guess i'm back in the saddle — a little world-weary and a little worse for the wear, but ready to join the rat race again. thanks by the way to the patient readers and fellow bloggers who left their tracks.

by the way, a few of us have dropped by at tricia's Li'l Nail Shop a few times more and i think their little business is already starting to create some buzz. one of these days we're going to make LNS our very own tambayan (it's already become a pseudo-drop off point/meeting place for us heheh).

anyway, for my fellow cinephiles, there's a film (3:10 to Yuma) that's fast becoming a byword these days and it stars no less than tough hombre Russell Crowe and my favorite Christian Bale. 3:10 to Yuma, which is actually a remake of a well-loved Western classic, also features Peter Fonda as an ornery bounty hunter and Ben Foster, who palys a gleefully murderous and dandified character. a lot of Oscar pundits are already generating some Oscar buzz for the impeccable acting job done by Crowe and Bale & co. (yeah!). 3:10 to Yuma is directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line).

and the fourth Indiana Jones movie will be titled Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Aside from Harrison Ford, the cast will include Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf, Ray Winstone, and Karen Allen.
