Tom & Alissa

Along with plenty of French books, Laura gave me Coralie Clement’s CD Salle Des Pas Perdus (something like “Room of Lost Steps”), which I am greatly enjoying. Turns out French jazz is precisely what I need to move happily through my workday. Who knew?

Tom came home last night with lots of stories about the paparazzi in Central Park which he got to ward off with other production people as Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz shot some scene involving rolling in the grass. I hope I’m allowed to talk about that here. Anyhow, doesn’t that just sound like a peachy way to spend your day? Fighting paparazzi? Good times.

Tonight’s my first copy-editing class at NYU (continuing ed). I really don’t know what’s going to be covered, which is delightful. Ten weeks sounds like an enormous amount of time to spend on copy editing, which pretty much proves that I am a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants editor, and it’s probably amazing that I even do it for a living now. But! This will make me better at it, and possibly bring in more work, which is always good.

Also, tonight, we’re planning to go see Darjeeling Limited. Will let you know how that goes.
