Tootin’ the NYT Book Review
Today’s New York Times Book Review contains an article on Sarah Boxer’s Ultimate Blogs, with this to say about the blog you’re reading now:
“I also liked being taken off the beaten path and into a blogger’s area of obsessive, esoteric interest. In the case of the cartoonist-blogger Nina Paley, it’s the Sanskrit epic poem the “Ramayana,” which cast its spell on her as her marriage fell apart in Trivandrum, India, to which she’d moved in the first place because her husband had taken a job there. (Her blog posts and drawings document her attempt to create an animated feature based on the “Ramayana” but told from the point of view of Sita, the subjugated wife of the epic’s hero, Rama.)” [link]
What can I say but, ‘w00t!’?

I’ll be at the first 3 screenings for Q & A’s, but alas I must miss the last two (other Sita collaborators will be there to reprezent). April 30 I go to the Rochester/High Falls Film Festival, where Sita is an opening night film. Then I go straight to Stuttgart, Germany, for the International Trickfilmfestival, followed by the Flashconference/FMX. Whee!

Sita is in. Screening dates and times to come.
