Thursday with LHPAC: More time in the "Middle of Nowhere"
Hey, guess what I just heard? "Middle of Nowhere" is staying in the Seattle area for another week!
Seattle Times movie critic Moira McDonald thinks "Middle of Nowhere" is "mesmerizing" and apparently the film cast its spell on weekend movie-goers too. Opening weekend attendance was good enough to encourage a longer run in the Seattle metro area. Look up showtimes at the AMC Southcenter here.

Will someone decorate my house for Halloween, please?
I know Halloween is nearly here because our neighbors have decorated their front lawns.
... or whip up a plague-doctor-style scarecrow straight out of Martha Stewart.
But I still hate creating Holiday Atmosphere. (I know, it's part of the mommy job. I still hate it.) Thus I've managed to get almost all the way through October without putting up a single Halloween decoration. Unless you count the aggressive spiders that try to take over the world our laurel bushes this time of year.
I am depriving my poor children of good childhood memories. Any suggestions on quick decor that'll help me make it up to The Boy and TwoBoo (who mostly hasn't noticed because he's so in love with his Captain America costume)? Tell me in the comments or on Facebook; I'll check for your ideas after I dig my pathetic Halloween wreath out of the closet.
Things to do with LHPAC this weekend
I can say happily that "Middle of Nowhere" is a thoroughly absorbing film. This is the kind of quietly moving movie I usually discover late at night, then can't let go of until it's finished.
It's opening weekend for the film in the Seattle area, so catch it if you can at the AMC Tukwila. "Middle of Nowhere" is presented by the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center (LHPAC).
One last thing: if you love poetry like you love air, try the "Circles of Life" readings tonight at the LHPAC. Sharon N. Williams' performance is part of ArtsCrush -- "31 Days of Creative Adventures." Here's a sample of Sharon's other work.
