You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Those are pretty! Does it say anywhere how big they actually are? (IME, queen-sized quilts tend to be ridiculously small for queen-sized beds -- I always buy king-sized bedding for everything but fitted sheets. But that may be due to the fact that both DH and I are blanket hogs.)

Go back far enough, and you can see me and Cass!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have a double bed, so a queen should work fine. Hmm. No, I don't see measurements.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yay drunken typing! Where is Hec! I'm yelling!

Hey Daisy!

I made JZ watch The 39 Steps this morning, which she'd never seen before. Of course, she quickly fell in love with its ceaseless Englishness (and Scottishness. Ahh, the heartbreaking wife of the hard, cruel farmer.)

Plus, Robert Donat. Who as we all know, is V's favorite Count of Monte Cristo.

Look at the Squeak! Parents always look weary in baby pictures.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, Hec, yum. Donat's purring voice, the political rally he fakes out, making food for Mysterious Spy Lady, sexy handcuff banter--I bet JZ LOVED that movie!

You would be right. She cooed about Hitchcock's British movies and their leading men because she already loved Michael Redgrave. We commented on: (a) the odd sexiness of the stocking removal scene (with sandwiches) while they were handcuffed; (2) why trains make such good settings for thrillers and how sad we are that trains are going away (just as a setting for thrillers); (3) quaintly wrapped up parcels; (4) how later Hitchcock films jettison a lot of the little character actors bits that he obviously enjoys so much in these films; (5) Robert Donat's character's privileged sense of entitlement which allows him to be a git and keep trusting every person he meets and expects them to believe him because he's obviously a gentleman; (6) the farmer's wife and how her character (and indeed her whole life) is told in just a few scenes and why that's a good object lesson in making supporting characters alive and real and not just plot devices; (7) how many elements from this movie are borrowed or stolen by other movies (like The Fugitive and Harrison Ford joining a parade to make his getaway. Though I've seen that trope in other movies and it may not have originated here.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Plei, your child is too cute to be real. Fess up -- she's a Lilybot, isn't she?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Not really here, but am on a chapter break (for reading this long but I suspect pivotal book for my research paper). I am feeling all proud of myself and designer-y. I've been feeling like our sitting room is WAY too dark, with the dark wood beams, and the rich/dark gold wall and ceiling color, and the red curtains. Last night I remembered that we have three sets of hemp/natural fibre curtains that we had in our bedroom in Somerville, and there are 3 windows in the sitting room. So Tom washed and ironed them and put them up and YAY, it looks so awesome! It neutralizes the space and makes it much, much lighter, in terms of the color palette as well as more actual sunlight able to get through without sacrificing privacy.

Now I want to get a complementing natural fibre type slipcover for the couch, swap out the dark red area rug (which covers some of the nasty W2W) with one of our lighter/neutral rag rugs, and get rid of one of the big dark bulky chairs, in order to reposition the entertainment cabinet and open up the space.

But I must continue reading feminist theory of women in academics in the north/west v. the south/east. (looks at clock) and I'd better get to it, too.

Because books.

Control A works, but I'm not sure how to not copy the whole page with it. Hmmm.

Awesome shoes! I would kill myself walking in them, but yay for you!

I like the turquoise quilt, Erin. Very pretty!

"Dorkaboo" is possibly my favorite. Hard to choose, though. The Squeak is one gorgeous baby.

I've never seen The 39 Steps, either. I should fix that.

I just caught part of a show on WE called The Next Skating Star, in which Rudy Galindo told some girl she had to lose weight. That seemed mean. Being Simon doesn't fit him. Also? Is there a "Next _______ Star" for everything now? Soon there will be a "Next Fuller Brush Sales Star," I suppose.
