Let's talk about November.
Yes, as is tradition on Musty TV, when the end of a month approaches, I talk about the end of the month before. Screwy, I know, but that's just how I roll.
In actuality, November, and Thanksgiving seems like it happened yesterday; the end of the year always comes too fast. And I suppose I should save my year-end reminiscing for December's Round-Up post. (Which I might try to publish before the end of January, just to change things up.)
But I will let you know that I've got some things in the works for 2012. I'm hoping some will be entertaining, for both you and me, and if they aren't, well, the world is supposed to end in 2012 anyway. We won't have to deal with the disappointment for too long.
On with the Round-Up.
Movies Seen: Ten, with three in a theater. Here are links to my reviews of those three (though to sum up, "The Artist" is the only one really worth seeing):
"A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas"
"Into the Abyss"
"The Artist"
None of the DVDs I saw are really worth mentioning, though I guess my favorite of the bunch was Errol Morris's "Tabloid."
Books Read: Eight. Click through to read my brief reviews, where applicable, (though, again, to sum up, "Among the Porcupines" was the most enjoyable read):
"The Prince the Showgirl and Me," by Colin Clark
"My Story," by Marilyn Monroe
"Among the Porcupines," by Carol Matthau
"Rules of Civility," by Amor Towles
"The Night Strangers," by Chris Bohjalian
"The Walking Dead – Vols 9 and 10," by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore
"The Visible Man," by Chuck Klosterman
Fancy Dinners Out: Only one dinner, at Harris' Steakhouse. We sat in the bar area, the food was great, and there was a jazz pianist playing. Pricey, but a good experience!
Also had fancy tea at the Top of the Mark.
Live Shows Seen: None, unless you count my annual visit to the Great Dickens Christmas Fair, which is always a hoot and a holler.
Shoes Bought: I am pretty sure I bought no shoes in November!
