neon epiphany

Came home to find the lawn’s been torn up, which means they’re starting re-sodding a few days early — originally I was neurotic about seeing raw topsoil so I’d arranged for them to begin Saturday, when I would be safely in Manhattan, hopefully to return to a finished job. But surprisingly, seeing the jumble of dirt and chopped up grass cover was strangely peaceful, as if I were seeing something being born. Not close-up and wet&wooly, Wild Kingdom-like, but from one of those Nova time-lapse sequences. You know, the kind with Michael Nyman music playing on the soundtrack.

On Sunday, Assassins on Broadway! I can’t wait. Too bad Victor Garber won’t be in it.

They’re re-releasing Donnie Darko to theaters in a new director’s cut, with 30 minutes of added footage and a reworked soundtrack! And it’s premiering at SIFF!

My cup runneth over. (via signalstation)
