Subject: Re: Where have you been?
Hey blogosphere,
I got your note. I miss you, too... sorry I've been out of touch for so long.
It wasn't you, it was me... really. I was swamped at work, and then I was violently ill, and then I had about four wildly busy days piled on top of one another. Anyway, I hope we're still ok.
In the last couple weeks I've:

In the last couple weeks I've:
- Caught Prince Caspian--twice. Yes, yes, I'll tell you how it was. (preview: KICKASS!!!)
- Had the perfect Minnesota day. I'll tell you about that too, if I get a chance. No promises, OK?
- Got caught up at work... finally.
- Ate at Mickey's again.
- Saw all three Indiana Jones movies. Belated, I know, but I got to them before the biggie this weekend.
- Reconnected with a gaggle of high school classmates. (I wonder if I'll like them any better twelve years later? Stranger things have happened.)
- Spent some quality time with Zoe the putty tat. She's a freak, but I'm utterly devoted to her.
- Figured out an amazing new recipe for homemade parmesan chicken tenders.
- Saw Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová in concert. (Mini-review: he's hysterically funny, she's gorgeously ordinary, and together they're sublime.)
- Watched The Office... the entire American series, from the pilot up through Thursday's episode.
- Continued to rock my dreads.
- Fell further in love with Metro Transit. And The Current. And MNSpeak. And my amazing city.
- Missed a blogathon that I was really looking forward to. (I am so sorry, Marilyn.)
Your (mostly) faithful friend,
Nayana

Hey Nayana - glad you're back in the blogosphere. Speaking as one who is currently buried under an avalanche of work stress, I totally understand the need for the absence - but it's great to have you back!

Just found your site via MNSpeak ... I'm OBSESSED with movies and look forward to reading your blog. One year I also watched all the Oscar nominated movies ... it was a blast! I think Neflix is the greatest invention ever and can't wait to just get movies off the internet!

Chris... that couldn't be cooler.
Jess... Thanks!
Pat... I appreciate your understanding. I'm glad I'm back too.
Alexis... Welcome! I always love finding new movie-buff friends, especially Minnesotan ones! I look forward to chatting with you.

Ikes. An overdue welcome back to this madness. What are we doing with ourselves? Well it sounds like you had a good "break"!
