Little Miss Something

As a member of SAG, my roommate receives copies of DVDs to vote on during awards season. I watched her copy of "Little Miss Sunshine" over the weekend. There's a scene in the movie in which the Greg Kinnear character realizes that his book is never going to get published and he starts up the (broken-down) van in utter defeat and the Alan Arkin character tells him he's proud of him for at least trying to strike out on his own.

I hope I'm not that Greg Kinnear character a year from now, returning to Austin in a broken-down Toyota Corolla, my L.A. dreams having gone bust. But at least I will have tried...
