This History Channel program about the Appalachians that I'm watching just said that the existence of snake-handling churches is evidence of the religious tolerance in the mountains. Because most people aren't snake-handlers, but respect the right of other people to do it if they want to. I think there needs to be tolerance of a few more religions before it can be called "religious tolerance" rather than "tolerance of Appalachian traditions."

The Mets just scored because the Braves didn't understand the Infield Fly Rule.

Random: tonight as I walked home from the pool, it was sunset. Not just sunset in the sky; sunset dogs. Every dog running loose in the field was a russet color. Mostly largish dogs- leaner and more longhaired than most labs, but I don't know what kind, some cockers and a wee little poodle who could outrun them all.

I like those dogs. I like that all their owners greeted me, that the dogs kept a polite distance until I gave the ok, that this is my community. I'm still so in the falling in love stage. One year sunday, I moved in.

Sarameg had a montage.

I has a jealousy of sarameg! Doggies!

in other news, we now have had about 10 more emails about these fucking sunglasses. Now the costume person has been talked to by my boss, and the stage manager has had her add a specific check for that item to her post show checklist (although she is already checking each costume piece). She is a smart girl. I am pretty sure she would have started double checking anyway! Grrrrrrr.

Oy.

What to Wear to the End of the World

Lots o' cool clothes....

hah! It was like an ad for allergy meds or something.

Lotsa doggies in the neighborhood. One of the renters (landlords are my doggie biscuit making neighbors) have matching big and small dogs. One of them is a pug, the other a mastiff of sorts. Both have siamese cat coloration. Everyone does a double take seeing them. Then there is Amy, that landlord's flabrador. (fat+lab.) She's a total sweetheart. Barks ferociously, but as soon as they say "friend" you get her belly and exhuberant stropping. They do the dog cookie thing to raise money for an doggie immune disease research thing, as her predecessor died before she was 2 of it.

Sophia, I vote you buy the ugliest sunglasses ever and just say EAT IT.

Is anyone watching Spartucus, Blood and Sand (seems like it should be Spartucus, Tits and Ass)? I am now wondering if the rented the Roman Centurion costumes from HBO's Rome.

Plei, I need to confirm that Revlon's extra life no chip top coat has yet to cause crazing on my fakes. Even where I had to buff down the nail because there was glue migration. It's brilliant. So thank you!
