a lady in my coop is looking for a 2BR, so I emailed her and she is coming to look at my place tomorrow. I told her we wouldn't be moving until July. Only problem is that my room specifically is a disaster and I can't seem to get started on it.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Oakland Prospect Retires to Join Priesthood
I think an Oakland fan would feel inclined to say to him, "God is eternal. He can wait."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think an Oakland fan would feel inclined to say to him, "God is eternal. He can wait."
That's pretty much my take.

I suggest he get one less birthday gift to teach him the error of his ways.

I managed to put clothes away and file a pile of papers. Now a break for lunch out at the diner. I really need house elves.

Jean Simmons died. Age 80.
She was so beautiful, and a favorite of mine. I liked her paired with Deborah Kerr (another fav) early in her career. Jean was married to Stewart Granger for a while.
From the NYT obit:
Those who knew her said she was generous, modest and unassuming. According to Mr. Granger, Ms. Simmons called Audrey Hepburn after she saw her in “Roman Holiday” — in a role Ms. Simmons might have had — to say, “I wanted to hate you, but I have to tell you I wouldn’t have been half as good.”
eta: Oops, I had forgotten that she does the older voice of Sophie in Howl's Moving Castle.
She rocked a pixie cut for a little while in the mid-fifties too.

Aww. Now I feel the need to track down my copy of "Guys and Dolls".

Hot Young Waiter told me he'd been wondering what happened to me (the host/hostess has been seating me in other sections), joked about me stepping out with other restaurants, and generally hung around chatting and asking me questions about myself today. This is not helping me get over my crush.
The circa 2005-2006 Jared Padalecki haircut he's now adopted is a noble effort in that direction, though.
