Lisa, i'm feeling the need to imitate your life. What I wouldn't give to be in Baltimore instead of LA.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I hear it's even kinda warm out today (well 40s ish...I didn't need my hat this morning.)
My friends were the Hampden Charm School cheerleaders in the Mayor's Christmas Parade this year. I can't remember the cheer all the way but it ended in them yelling "read our chests!" They overheard some neighborhood dude yelling, "Hampden Charm School??? Where the fuck is that?!"
I missed it because I was in Hawaii.

Interesting. I wonder if James Bond ever tried free breadsticks as a way of controlling evil overlords.

I so want to wear my Hampden Charm School shirt, but it's not warm enough.
Awww, too bad. OTOH, it is probably warmer than here. It is a toasty 43 out right now.....
I meant to get one for my SIL, but blanked out. I suspect I'll go over there in the next few weeks and get her one for her birthday in July.

I suspect the free breadstick is a tactic best reserved for evil overlords suffering from hangovers or on the Atkin's diet.

Someone over at Oscarwatch just posted this about meeting Jerry Orbach:
I had a chance to meet Jerry Orbach a number of years ago when I worked at an ad agency here in NY. I was speaking with the receptionist, named Juanita, on my floor, when this tall man in a trenchcoat swept in off the elevator. "Juanita, my sweetheart, how the hell are ya?" he called. That was Jerry - he was a fixture at agencies, having done a bunch of voiceovers.
We chatted briefly, and as he was leaving, Juanita whispered to me, "He's on LAW & ORDER, you know." I mentioned to her that he also did a lot of Broadway, and she was surprised to hear he was also the voice of Lumiere in BEAUTY & THE BEAST. Actually, she didn't believe me - until, from a few feet away at the elevator bank, we heard a voice softly start to sing, "Be...Our...Guest..." I thanked him, he bowed and saluted me, and he was gone.
What a great guy.

Sniffling now. I completely forgot he was Lumiere.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I had to image-Google Jerry Orbach, because the name was unfamiliar to me. My first reaction? "It's Dr. Houseman from Dirty Dancing!"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yeah, when I told DH before he left for work, he pulled a blank on Jerry Orbach. He's never watched L&O, and he's not a B'way fan, either. But "Baby's dad in Dirty Dancing" and "Lumiere" told him exactly who it was. Man. He'll be missed.
