I have to confess, during this most recent humidity I had awesome hair. That extra half-curl did wonders.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

"Check Engine" light pop up on my dashboard four days after spending $2000 to replace the damn engine
Maybe it was just your new engine's way of saying "Check me out! I'm totally shiny and new!!!" ?
Hey, has it gotten all cool out down here too? I haven't been outside since 9.
It's certainly nicer in my office today. Yesterday it was up to about 82 by the time I left for home.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have learned that I can watch the BMW movies in streaming video at my desk. And Whole Kitchen Shu Mai is pretty tasty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

THIS is an excellent lesson.
I'm about to learn about htaccess redirection, and maybe how to deflect cheery people.

I discovered chocolate clothing. Now I'm... hungry. Yes, hungry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hey, ms. nicest and pinkest and quittingest, check your email, will you, cherie?
The 1949 Secret Garden kicks all kinds of ass. So much fun to see a film of the era containing some of the most gaggingly saccharine child performers ever (It's A Wonderful Life's Zuzu, I'm looking at you), with a couple of aggressively real-looking kids throwing nasty and gleeful temper tantrums. And young, googly-eyed Elsa Lanchester with a thick Yorkshire accent, laughing her head off at the suggestion that she help a 12-year-old girl get dressed; and the fox cub, and the raven, and the opening shot of vultures drawing lazy circles in the sky above the cholera-raddled Lennox estate in India.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I have to confess, during this most recent humidity I had awesome hair. That extra half-curl did wonders.
In the meantime, it's making my hair frizzy-puff-tastic. Which is not a good thing, in case anyone was wondering.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I caught some of that yesterday (we have TCM playing all day on the TV behind my desk without sound to show captioning and I sneak peeks if it's amovie I like). I turned up the sound to hear the tantrum scene, which I thought rocked the house.

I think that Margaret O'Brien and Natalie Wood far outshine all the others. O'Brien's Tootie in Meet Me in St. Louis is one of the most interesting child characters in Hollywood history.

I love Tootie. So funny and odd and adorable with the iceman.
