I might post, but don't get your hopes up.
the quiz
To occupy your ALCOS needs while I am out of the country, I bring the first ever How Well Do You Know Erica? Quiz. First things first. The prize: homemade cookies sent to your mailbox, awarded to the person who submits to most correct answers by midnight (Pacific Time) on May 2 (the day I return from London). Submissions should be by email to: eleighbrooks[at]yahoo[dot]com. Questions take the form of multiple choice and fill in the blank. Incorrect multiple choice answers will not penalize you. Answers to the questions are not limited to this blog. No bonus points will be awarded, but humorous answers/comments may be posted publicly if the proctor (ahem - me) deems them funny enough to share. Have no fear, Retka will not be allowed to cheat while I am staying with her. It's not as intense as Clark's exam, but I had some fun with it. Who knows, maybe there will be more than one winner...

bags packed
The aniticipation of travel is a lot like the early stages of falling in love: You choose a destination, an adventure, a culture that makes your pulse race, your heart leap. When you arrive, you don't know if it will turn out to be a casual flirtation, a torrid affair, a long-term relationship -- or if, in the end, after all the planning and expectation, you'll find out there's just no chemistry.
-"When We Take Travel to Heart" Daisann McLane, National Geographic Traveler May/June 2005
Following the metaphor above, I'm returning to an old flame in two days, and I'm two parts jumping out of my skin with excitement and one part nervous that London has moved on to other loves, that the old chemistry just won't be there.
Nah...who am I kidding? I'm all parts jumping out of my skin with excitement.
up next:
A Clark-like quiz.
PS
I totally just accidently closed the window with my completed-but-not-yet-published post. My heart was calmed and my curses quieted when I tested the "Recover post" option that Blogger recently added and found my intact post. Thank you, Blogger!!!!

festival reflection
It was fun.
you want more?
It was so amazing to be a part of the independent film scene for a weekend, to experience the results of the passionate labors of (mostly) young filmmakers. To see that after I previewed nearly 28 hours of (mostly) crap entries last fall, there were some real gems that made it to the big screen at the Harkins Scottsdale 101 cinema. The beauty of the film festival was the opportunity to interact with the filmmakers, producers and actors themselves. I came away from the weekend with movies with whom I feel personally involved. Thus, I am compeled to insist that you see them when they (hopefully) make it to a theater near you.
Checking Out
With Peter Falk as the "force of nature" that is Morris Applebaum at the head of this cast, Checking Out is a hilarious jaunt through one Jewish family's reconciliation caused by Morris's announcement to his grown children that in one week he will be throwing a huge party, and then he will kill himself. I can't believe that no studio wanted to take this film on. Fortunately, the producer and director have a meeting with the woman who helped propel My Big Fat Greek Wedding into theaters across the country. This movie has the potential to be My Big Fat Jewish Suicide. I had the chance to talk with both the director (Jeff Hare) and the producer (Mark Lane) after the movie. This was Hare's first big film; he had done comercials before, and before that, he was a reporter for a news station in Kearney, Neb. When he said he went to journalism school rather than film school, I knew I had to introduce myself. Alas, he attended Penn State; props to him, though, for his impressed reaction when I said I attended Missouri.
Après Vous
This jokes in this French film transcend cultures and language. Even though it lacks Audrey Tautou, I think this movie could actually make it in the U.S. I knew from the opening credits and song that it was going to be a good movie and it was. Antoine stumbles across Louis in a Paris park and saves him from killing himself, ultimately invloving himself in a complicated love affair. Funny funny funny. Sidenote: The actor who plays Antoine looks so much like Paul McCatney I kept expecting him to doff his French for a British accent and burst into "Hey Jude."
Happy Endings
Lisa Kudrow. Maggie Gyllenhaal. Tom Arnold. I don't know how to describe this movie. I guess it's a humorous look at hard topics such as abortion and homosexuality. But it's better than that description. This was the opening night film at the festival and it was a very surreal experience to watch the movie, knowing that the director (Don Roos), the producer (and president of Lions Gate Films, Tom Ortenberg) and an actor (Tom Arnold) were in the theater. It was kind of like watching a sex scene with your mom. Rather than "Oh look. The actors are getting naked. Oh look. My mother is sitting next to me." it was "Oh look. Tom Arnold's getting naked. Oh look. He's sitting five rows in front of me in a pink shirt with a pink scarf/tie-thing." I was conscious of my every reaction. Was I not laughing enough? Did my laughter sound forced or fake? Should I laugh louder? Sidenote: Maggie Gyllenhaal's haircut is super, super-sexy.
Never Been Thawed
I didn't find this movie as compelling as the ones above, but it's worth mentioning. It was a locally produced film by a director and actors who had never done movies before. I think the director said the whole thing was shot with one $400 camera from Best Buy. NBT is a mockumentary about a guy who is the founder of the Frozen Food Entre Club of Mesa, Ariz. (that's right, they collect t.v. dinners) and also the lead singer in a Christian rock band. The Christers isn't your typical Christian rock band; they "converted" from hard rock, but they haven't left the hard rock lifestyle behind. Upon deciding that it'd be esier to make it in the Christian rock business, they changed all the lyrics of their songs. "I Love to F***" became "I Love to Pray." Totally blasphemous, the movie is like a coarser Saved! in both plot and production. It was ok.
in other movie news
My mother just told me that she went to see Sin City today because she heard it was based on a comic strip. Her reaction: "Those people are sick." I just shook my head. Comic book ? comic strip.
It was fun.

let's hold class on the quad today
It is absolutely gorgeous outside right now, but by the afternoon, it's supposed to get up to the 90s. It's going to be pool season soon!
biggest pet peeve of the moment
When people don't hold up their part of a bargain. Uggh.
film fête*
I scored a free all-access, 4-day pass to the Phoenix Film Festival in return for being one of the volunteers on the film selection committee. I had to watch a ton of crappy movies and will now be rewarded by the opportunity to schmooze with Kevin Bacon, Tom Arnold and Kyra Sedgwick, starting today. Well, maybe not so much schmoozing with as looking at from across a cinema.
fyi
Arizona doesn't do Daylight Savings. So I am now on Pacific Time. Just thought I'd share, in case any of you were wanting to call.
*Circumflex accent for Dan's enjoyment.

cowbois and indians
Family was in town this week. We were on our way to the Heard Museum about Native Americans, but we got caught in the start of a gay pride parade going down Central Avenue. At the outset it looked like any normal parade with Spongebob Squarepants. Then the costumes started getting a little more interesting. And what parade is complete without drag queen royalty?
let's play six degrees of separation
I always learn lots when around family. Example: My grandfather used to double-date with Janet Leigh when they were both in high school. WHAT?!?! It took my mother nearly 23 years to tell me this?!?!? I was thoroughly disappointed in her. I'm not much for scary movies, but now I have to watch Psycho.
The Six Degrees of Separation discussion led to my father divulging that a former collegue (Chip) of his from K-State once dated Ellen DeGeneres while they were both living in Wichita. How can my parents keep such fantastic knowledge to themselves?!?! Do you realize this totally puts me in connection with Jason Bateman?
me–->Chip-->Ellen-->Portia de Rossi-->Bateman
Sigh...

10 things you never knew about erica,* part 3
1. I have very explosive sneezes.
2. When I was about 7 years old, I tried to do a "trick" on my bike: riding it with my eyes closed. The tricked ended with me running into the mailbox.
3. I have a secret love of the Click and Clack, the Car Talk guys.
4. The only time I ever really got in big trouble in school was in second grade; I was kicking too many boys in the balls on the playground. I was only kicking the boys I liked, so it was really a compliment, right?
5. I once translated the first chapter of the Diary of Anne Frank from French to English - for fun during high school summer vacation. I'd bought the French copy at the WWII museum in Calais, France. I still have never read an English copy of the diary.
6. For three summers in middle/high school I volunteered as a Junior Zookeeper for the local Sunset Zoo in Manhattan. One of my duties was scooping goat shit out of the petting zoo.
7. I'm not really a lipstick-wearer. When I do wear lipstick, I usually end up licking it off within the hour. I guess you could say I wear "lickstick."
8. My left eyeball has a freckle.
9. I am developing a great interest in the Phoenix Suns. This is notable because for the most part, I've shunned professional sports in the past. Now though, I can't get enough of Steve Nash and his greasy hair.
10. I make fantastic guac. FANTASTIC guac.
A Leaky Cauldron, of Sorts does not garantee that these will be news for everyone.

blogless
I haven't been as regular with my blogging lately, and that's partly because I've taken to going on walks during lunch rather than sitting at my desk. The weather is perfect right now and I know it won't last long, so I eat my lunch while working, then tie on the grubby pair of sneakers I stash in a desk drawer and head to the park. I've gotten to know the park regulars by sight now. There are the young professionals who lunch at the picnic tables, the retired couple to play tennis, the two UPS drivers who rest in their trucks and talk between cabs, the children who chase each other on roller skates up the slope and down the slope, the older birdwatching couple - he with his Cardinals (football) cap on and each with their binoculars around their neck - who take the same walking path as I. With an hour at my disposal, I usually go for a half-hour walk and then find a sunny spot on a park bench and read for a half and hour.
There's a riding stable next to the park, and Thursday three young kids were resting their horses at the picnic table where the young professionals usually lunch. The eldest girl was probably around 16 and the two younger kids (a brother and sister?) were somewhere between 7 and 11 years old. And the horses, oh they were beautiful. The 16-year-old had her hair in pigtails and I longed to be able to go up to her and say, "Hello there. I almost wore pigtails today too. Mind if I pet your horse?" as if our similar hairstyle would have forged an equestrian kinship. Later, while I was on my walk, the two horses and their riders came galloping through the park. The older girl was riding bareback (bareback!) and the two young kids were sharing the saddle of the second horse. And for a moment as they passed me, I was the girl with the pigtails, galloping through the park on a sunny Arizona day.
Instead, I turned around, sought out a park bench, jumped into the waters of the Atlantic and emerged in London, circa 1990 as I opened White Theeth and started reading.
really very ordinary
About three weeks ago, my mom and I went to a book reading at a local bookstore. The program was called "Wine and Words," and for it, the store brought together three first-time authors to read from their memoirs while the group of us sipped wine and ate yummy finger foods. One of the authors was Amy Krouse Rosenthal, her book is titled, Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, and it's fantastic.* The whole thing is alphabetical snippets of her life. Take, for example, BROTHER: "My brother, who grew up with three sisters, was I won't say how many years old when he finally realized that he didn't have to wrap the towel around his chest when he came out of the shower." Ha! The book is personal and personable. She lets you into her life in chunks, much like the way you get to know a friend. A friend doesn't divulge her life's secrets in narrative, but rather you learn about her in bits of conversation and asides. Rosenthal's style is really akin to blogging, and maybe that's why it is so comfortable to me. Each alphabetical excerpt is like a blog entry, an entire book of "10 things you didn't know about Amy Rosenthal."
Morning Edition interviewed Rosenthal today, and I felt I had to share her with others as well. Check out her Web site (linked to above and on the right) and then go get the book. Do it.
quiz show
I'm thinking about tearing a page out of Clark's blog and creating a quiz for my readers to answer. Look for than in a few weeks.
*Yes, I'm double-booked right now. If you don't know that reference, you need to read So Many Books, So Little Time.

today is good
Not only is it the end of my working week (Good Friday is made better by having the day off), but Radio Paradise is playing "Come Downstairs and Say Hello." (Favorite Guster song.) And earlier today they played "Clark Gable." (Favorite Postal Service song.) It is a good station that plays good songs by good bands, not just their hit tunes.
This weekend will bring you a real post. I promise.
