Surreal Television

Daytime television is just weird. A lousy "thriller" called American Crime - although it stars the stunning Annabella Sciorra - has some of the worst pacing and one of the most unsatisfying movie endings I've ever seen. Maury Povich (still) has on mothers who want to subject their 13 and 15 year old daughters to lie detector tests to "prove" they've had multiple sex partners. And the DA boss dude from Law & Order might be running for president?

I'm not sure what I think about all of that.

Why the Internet is a better place:

• I learned that Maggie Gyllenhaal will be replacing Katie Holmes in the new Batman movie. Whoo hoo!
  
• I received an email informing me of two discussions being held in my area about the film, The Mystery of Love. Unfortunately, I can't make either of the two discussion meetings (damn, damn, damn!), but at least now I know about Mystery of Love, and The Fetzer Institute for Love Forgiveness. These are both interesting - take a look!
  

Also, I'm reading a really good book called The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women which, interestingly enough, references Robert Fritz, whose book, The Path of Least Resistance, transformed a lot of my thinking. I'll probably write more about 12 Secrets later.
