that isn't me

• Dyed my hair - SPLAT Luscious Raspberry on top, Special Effects Wine Burgundy Wine on bottom. (After I showered, I experimented with a French Braid to get it out of my face.)

• Slow cooked the Dutch oven pork that I do sometimes. It's a bleeding easy recipe that I originally stole from Esquire. Two bottles of BBQ sauce (sometimes I make my own, but I was too lazy last night) over a few pounds of pork shoulder at 350F for a couple hours. (I prefer to do 200F for four or five hours, sometimes I'll just do the lowest temp before I go to work and get home to the smell of slow-roasted pork. Yum.)

• Watched Clooney in The American, Buscemi in the first two eps of Boardwalk Empire, and Trejo in Machete. I would recommend all, albeit for very different reasons.

• Today is the first day of fall where the daily high is under 50F. Well that's what happens. It's not raining, though.

• I sometimes fall asleep on the bus home when we're stuck on 520 traffic. Last week when this happened, I forgot my Smartwool gaiter that I'd taken off. Sniffle.

I thought The American was pretty ho hum, I watched it the other night too. It just never had anything to grab you, it reminded me a lot of the mid-budget European movies of the '80s. It seemed kinda lazy on the director and Clooney's part. And I'm still on the fence on Boardwalk Empire! I'm totally up to the current episodes and it still hasn't fully wowed me... I just feel like they aren't really trying to develop the characters much. I'm giving it a full first season, but I feel kinda meh about it right now.

The director was Anton Corbijn, who kinda does that thing alot. I mean he's more about the spaces in between, if that makes sense. Le Samurai is a 60s French Gangster film that does something similar (different director though), in fact the plot is similar too.

She emailed me this morning asking to hang out.
