... to write anything last week at CWA where there's hardly a moment to breathe (gasping at the mile-high altitude aside) between panels, conversations, lunches, parties, receptions (and -- for me, anyway -- precious sleep). You have to understand: I often go days without actually seeing or speaking to anybody; all this socializing is exhausting for me. I'll be looking back at the experience this week, but in the meantime, in case you missed it, Roger Ebert writes about the first day's Cinema Interruptus with Werner Herzog, Ramin Bahrani and "Aguirre, the Wrath of God."

I completely understand. For much of the day I am either watching movies or reading books, therefore by myself. Venturing out after a few days "in doors" and having to socialize can very much be an exhausting experience. Can't wait to hear about your trip in subsequent posts!
I completely empathize too. I've been like that for the past few years! Socializing is a mighty tiresome work!
I FORGIVE YOU
I watched "Aguirre" again after reading Ebert's post, such a good movie. My favorite parts were the talking head and the Indian flute-player, and how he eventually just stops.
