DH wanted some pasta. Yes, it was after midnight. But I whipped up a cream sauce with butter, garlic, half & half, goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and cracked pepper. Served it over some penne.
When does Sean Penn's biopic of Milk come out?
If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

Milk premiered in SF last week, but I think it opens nationwide on... Wednesday, I think.
I just came back from the new Mary Zimmerman production, Arabian Nights, and it was wonderful. It's a return to the story-cycle technique of Metamorphosis rather than the linear narrative of Argonautika. The set and cast and structure were all just fabulous, and the content ranged from deeply moving stories of lost love and missed opportunities to ... fart jokes. Bay Area types should try to see it, although I'd suggest going for tickets now, because it looks like it's going to sell out.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Continuing my week's theme, I watched a docu-drama about Jonestown on the History Channel yesterday, featuring commentary by Stephan Jones, Jim Jones' son -- he escaped the slaughter by being away with the teen boy's basketball team. They got radioed orders to kill themselves, but away from so much community influence (not to mention the armed guards), rejected the idea.
He's had a lot of time to think over what happened and why, and he's actually articulate, so it added a lot to understanding the why and how.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Like "Slayer of Coast Mayor is Free After Six Years" or "US Will Not Prosecute in 1978 Killings On Coast." I wonder when that usage stopped.
I hadn't thought about it, but isn't the old joke, "I just flew in from the coast, and boy are my arms tired"?

Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne used to write a column for Esquire called The Coast, about California. And I'm pretty sure that Didion has a line in one of her essays about how California is called the Coast.

Hey, msbelle, did it turn out to be nothing, or do we not know that yet?

OK, I can't find my ipod. Lord only knows where I put it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
