Ann, that's a ferret.

we now have a silent film museaum and theater in the neighborhood

I've seen a fair number on TCM. And yeah, some of them can get pretty embarrassing. Even into the sound era -- I saw Harold Lloyd's first talkie, Welcome Danger, over the weekend, and a fair number of Chinese stereotypes kept taking me out of the movie (the plot involves a dope ring operating out of SF Chinatown).

Sad, because there's some pretty fair slapstick in there (though eventually it gets to be a bit much).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Holy CRAP those Windsor boys are pretty. [link]

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ain't they just?

sigh.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Getting some fresh genes into that bloodline helped out a lot with the looks, even if it did shake up the family's moral certainty.

Up with the sun

I think Harry is kind of handsome, in a redheaded jock sort of way, but William to me always looks a little freakish -- too much like if someone took photographs of his mother at that age and mathematically adjusted them to show what she would have looked like if she had been born a man.

Though bon bon's picture does make him look very nice indeed.

Didn't need to say it twice.

I can't even.

This is a picture of the new turf at SkyDome/Rogers Centre

For the hockey afficionados in the crowd, apparently the little truck in the picture is called a Sandboni.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

the scarily possessive mother of a war friend of his to whom he'd made a deathbed promise (which he stuck to, caring for her until her death, but by all accounts she was batshit crazy and jealous, plus HOTT, so there was a whole twisted mothersexlover thing going on that left him emotionally fucked for a good many years)

Huh. I never knew that. That's fucked-up, yo.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Time may indeed be on your side. If you can just last another quarter century.

By then, people will start lives that could last 1,000 years or more. Our human genomes will be modified to include the genetic material of microorganisms that live in the soil, enabling us to break down the junk proteins that our cells amass over time and which they can’t digest on their own. People will have the option of looking and feeling the way they did at 20 for the rest of their lives, or opt for an older look if they get bored. Of course, everyone will be required to go in for age rejuvenation therapy once every decade or so, but that will be a small price to pay for near-immortality.

I'll believe it when I see it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Uh-huh. And we can't manage people's arthritis pain without making their hearts explode. I'm not too worried.
