What's the name of the book, Hec?
Speaking of Undercovers, I thought it was fun. Has possibilties. And the female lead has a fab ass. Envy. Male lead is adorable, but dude, that car? On a CIA salary? Or a 5 y.o. catering business? Was he on the take?
And his very precise facial hair was distracting, it was so sharp. I'll be watching it.
You know who else is utterly compelling to watch? Shakira. I caught a glimpse of her on Letteman, via some web site or another, and good god damn, woman. The song was meh, but I could watch her dance, and with that body, for a while. She skews my Kinsey a bit.

YES! It freaked me out how it went up to his no hair and stopped so abruptly.
Matt, I'm sure there are times where the networks go "OMG, we made a terrible mistake! Abort! Abort!" but a lot of the time they're expecting the initial numbers to be the verdict when that's not necessarily so. I was reading some tweets from an ICM agent a while ago pointing out films that "underperformed" the opening week but found their audience afterwards and made very strong numbers. But H'wood right now seems to be all about the opening weekend so they'll screw things for themselves by labeling something a "failure" to the public when it's not necessarily so.
Of course, I'm just spinning gears here. H'wood suits have been stupid for a long time now.
Ha HA! I put my dress on a skirt hanger, and it fits in the bag. OK, bed.
Shakira is one of about 3 women who I think are truly sexually attractive to me.
Love me some Shakira. That is all.
eta not quite all. Her video for Wherever Whenever is what sparked my interest in bellydance.
Oh, sara, I don't think I've said, I'm so sorry for your loss. That it's also a loss of family memory, a whole grief on its own in addition to yours for losing Carol herself.
Carol helped me to understand my grandmother at a time when we were very much at odds. Without her, I would still have a very negative view of Grandma Karin. Instead, I appreciate and understand her, though I hated and scraped against her bias against girls. Know where she got that, too bad, because frankly, her own path was proto-feminist. She just resented her own.
I remember really hating
Reviving Ophelia
when I read it as a teen - the author kept comparing her own childhood to her patients' and never seemed to acknowledge that there might be more to it than a generation gap. (You know, like the fact that as a psychiatrist, she's seeing a
very
skewed sample group of modern adolescent girls. Or that she grew up in a small town but treats kids in a big city. Or any other of a million factors other that "the fifties were so much nicer.")
That and the endless tortured weather metaphors. Those got old fast.
