The Station Agent

I just saw "The Station Agent" (2003). Good flick. No gratuitous sex, violence, or unrealistic action sequences. Just a good story, with good characters.

Chapter 1 - Redbull and Boredom

I'm sure writers who are more talented than I agonize about the opening to their masterpiece. It is somewhat ironic that it took me about 10 minutes to write that sentence, rewrite it, and then proofread it, and then finalize it to the form that you are now familiar with. I am unsure why I chose to create my first blog on this day Thursday, January 4th 2007 at 5:00 am, although it may be due to some combination of redbull and boredom. I make no certain claims at this time that this will be my masterpiece. I also make no claims that these writings will contain musings inspired by anything other than redbull and boredom, but as of lately, this seems to be the only way I can output creatively. If the reader is of similar disposition, I welcome you to peruse my meandering observations, and perhaps we'll have more in common.

P.S. "Pale and Sincere" is taken from a line in Nick Drake's 'Cello Song' from his first album Five Leaves Left (1969).
