Hi-Gloss!

A reader sent me this dated list-serv exchange between a traumatized dog owner and an advice columnist. What happens when you live in New Mexico and an elk decides to keel over in your backyard? All the local dogs think it's the Rapture and the carcass becomes an all-you-can-eat buffet and a daycare center. Money quote:

He also doesn't appear to have read it very closely.

But hey, dogs in elk is always a good start to the morning.

Happy Casimir Pulaski day People!!!

I haven't seen any of the BP noms this year.

Flat or eggshell?

It depends. If there are any flaws, dints, etc. in your walls, the flat will just show them off, but you get a really nice, true looking colour. Eggshell has a bit of a gloss, but not too much, and is easier to clean.

I vote easier to clean.

Hmm, maybe i'm confused, but this site says that flat is good for disguising wall flaws. [link] I thought it was the other way around.

Sue, I thought as you did.

Review: Stewart fell flat

In re Capote:

It was wearing, Matt. But fascinating, too. PSH earned that Oscar.

I will say, although the voice/lisp really stood out for me at first (I knew the real Capote was distinctive-sounding, but didn't know exactly how), it soon became "invisible" to me. I literally stopped noticing it, about halfway through his first visit to Kansas.

I went to an Oscar party with a gang of sisters, who compete for stickers by predicting the winner in advance, and the owner of the most stickers at the end of the night wins a tiny felt Oscar the Grouch. When Crash won, we all screamed laughter, because the eventual possessor of 8 stickers had been the only one to vote for it (indeed, to vote for anything but Brokeback Mountain ), and she'd been predicting all night that it would win, over our vociferous skepticism.

And for all that, she was not the winner of the Grouchy Oscar!

There was hilarity and McVitie's digestive biscuits. (It was a British theme.) There were plastic flowers. It was a whole big silly thing.

I dreamt last night that I found a big, hard, baseball size lump on my inner thigh. When I woke up, I kept poking myself to see if I really had any tumors growing anywhere.

I don't get what was insincere about Reese's speech. But I love her and loved her as June Carter so whatevs.

Pissed at Hoffman for not barking though.

haha me too! Just one little bark would have sufficed. But he was all thanking his mom and shit.
