Today I was reunited with an old friend (we worked together for about a year-and-a-half about 18 years ago). It was fascinating to hear how much she and I have thought about each other over the years. She said some very flattering things about why she remembers me so fondly. I feel very similarly about her, but why is it so awkward to hear things about oneself that are so positive? I found myself doing the whole "oh, stop" thing.
Yesterday I went to see two programs at a local theatre. They were the Academy Award nominees for live action short and animated short. I was thrilled that they released them in this format. These are films that we almost never get to see. And there were some very nicely-made films. Catch them if you get the chance.
