Jilli, you're a charm-monster. No need to freak out.
From defamer:
Charlie stayed on top, but we're quite disappointed that headline writers failed to embrace the lascivious promise of last Monday's “Depp’s ‘Chocolate Factory’ has tasty opening.” The best we could turn up with a very (read: very) cursory search was, "Willy Wonka still holds sweet spot," which admittedly requires a very liberal interpretation of "sweet spot" to titillate. We never should've allowed ourselves to lose an entire weekend hoping that the wire services would deliver a treat like "Moviegoers Lose Car Keys In Wonka's Fudge Tunnel."
What I will never get used to are the fact that a) a rainstorm doesn't reliably cool things off and b) it can stay over 80 and muggy overnight. My desert brain just can't get over that. This weekend, when the humidity ran away, it got to the midsixties overnight. That seemed reasonable. But now? 80. 80! Dark means it should cool off significantly, damnit! It should be comfortable.
Wow, msbelle, that sounds like a
great
day. Or the other thing.
msbelle, it was on PBS. You can recover from your faint now.
Sorry the day was so ooky. And started so damned early. Where'd you have to go where there was cold?
I'm sad to have missed humid LA.
not so bad now that I am doing the ass sitting and have no shoes on.
actually the meeting turned out ok, just started out tricky.
I'm sad to have missed humid LA.
You can come visit me and wallow in humidity.
Oooh! Thunder! Or someone knocking something over. Can't tell.
I can slice some of the humidity out of our air with a knife and send it to you, if you'd like?
My gelato was so delicious too. Betsy will back me upon the superiority of Ciao Bella to all other pretenders.
Is Ciao Bella in the Ferry Building? I've had their gelato, when I was there for Nillyfest.
SA came up to visit yesterday, and we were both lamenting how it's been too long since we've been to San Francisco, and we're going to try to make a trip out there this fall. I hope.
