Oof! And he got him. Blew him away with 97mph.
Way to go, Meat. Now go wash your flip flops before they get moldy.

Rays win 3-1. Price closes it out. (And utterly exposes Varitek, who can't hit anymore, despite his one key home run.)
World Series is the TV exec nightmare: Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays.
Very gutty comeback by the Red Sox, though.

Heh. I'm reading a Tampa Bay Rays board and their nickname for David Price is Velociraptor Jesus.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks for the birthday wishes everybody, and I hope I'm not too late to send a happy birthday to Calli. It's been a busy weekend. Mostly housework, but there was also b-day sushi and reading of many fairytales with sweet kids snuggling me.
For me and cities, New York is Annie Hall mostly, but there's a subterranean layer of Sesame Street too. London is Sherlock Holmes, My Fair Lady, and a gazillion other books and plays from childhood, but first and foremost it's Sherlock Holmes. Paris is old photos of Notre Dame, only later in college did it become the Left Bank to me. Berlin is Cabaret.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Definitely. Upper West Side or Morningside Heights. (Actually, my dad's cousin claims that it was the specific block that she and my dad grew up on, but I've never seen anything to back that one up. But it's clearly that neighborhood.)
I'm trying to think of other movie associations I have for different cities. I can't really think of too many. Oh! Newport is High Society. And San Francisco is largely Pal Joey.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Australia- Crocodile Dundee (sorry, billytea!)
As well you should be. That's not a first impression of Australia, this is a first impression of Australia: "Daynjah, daynjah, daynjah!" t end of impression

Happy birthday, Burrell!
Happy birthday, Calli!

Special for Theo: Fake tilt shift Photoshopping.
How to make a real photo look like a model.
Check out the "model" Fenway.
I don't know why it's cooler to make something real look fake, except it's a particular kind of fake.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My first impressions of Australia came from the film Fast Talking.
