Somehow that last post about the living wills was deleted. Weird. Here is the link if you want.
Also, I saw Melinda and Melinda last night and liked it much more than that review suggests. I especially liked that people were sitting around with mostly empty glasses of wine and having three-hour conversations about whether comedy or tragedy is the baseline state of life -- which is actually a conversation I had very recently, independent of this movie and in a different sort of context, but same basic principle. I like that we have the intellectual luxury of that kind of talk in our lives sometimes.

I used to have a women's studies professor who talked about the notion of intellectual luxury all the time. She didn't use that phrase, that's all you, but she used to emphasize how privileged we were to be able to go to college and talk about oppression and poverty and formulate ways to change the world. It was a very Dar Williams "Terrarium" type thing. :)
