I can't decide if I should be thrilled or skeptical: I just called a car service about tomorrow, and he just said to call 30 minutes before I want to go. Granted, I'm really fliexible about my timing, but still. Isn't everything supposed to be crazy right now???

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I missed where you're trying to get to, Jesse, but a lot of car services aren't taking reservations at all during the strike, at least not during the HOV-4 window.

Famous art mirror trick: [link]
Um. I don't get it.
it's not really a trick, so much, but the King and Queen of Spain are in the mirror, right where the painting's viewer would be standing. It's a weird narrative moment, especially as the entire painting is kind of about looking back...but not at you.
Aha! That makes sense, now. I wondered who the people in the mirror were, but I thought maybe they were ghosts or something.
