Not sure I believe the Hepburn-Tracy bit. An agent I worked with once dated Sondheim, who lived near them in NYC when he was just coming up. He said Sondheim looked out his window once and was disgusted by seeing Tracy and Hepburn getting frisky on their couch, because they were "too old."
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You know what sucks?
Being at work at 6:00am on a Saturday.

Tom, that does indeed Shakira.
Go watch some Shakira hips for 5 minutes, and have some good coffee.

I'm not sure about the factualness of that New York Marriage article, because he says The Waltons was based on Truman Capote's childhood. Wasn't it based on Earl Hamner's childhood?
SOmewhat relatedly, I just read the autobiography of Patricia Neal, who had a long term affair with Gary Cooper. It also seriously made me want to beat Roald Dahl with a stick, even though she was actually very nice about him. She reprinted a letter he wrote to her about their marriage failing because of his affair with their very close friends, which blamed the marriage failing not on his affair, but the fact that she was acting jeolous, and if she would just "act normal" they could get back together and he would have lunch (but ot sex) with the woman every few weeks.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gonna head to the Baltimore Book Festival later today.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Joe and I are going to attempt to play racquetball today. This should be very interesting as it's been about 15 years since he's played and I never have.

Michael ran out to get cat food and was gone an hour. I figured he'd stopped for a leisurely coffee or something. Nope - he adopted a cat. Simon is a neutered male, 6 months, black with white feet and whiskers, skinny and explory with a long-furred tail. He seems very friendly and doesn't object to being picked up by the kids.
Advice on how to keep our existing (10 year old female) cat from freaking the fuck out would be appreciated. Right now Simon is living in the playroom.

Wow undiscussed adoption of a new cat. Interesting choice mr. Flea.
It's been raining here since 4am. My rain collection bins are full.

Uh yeah. I mean, we've sort of talked about kittens for a few months now, but we had not reached any sort of decision yet.
If it had been a dog, I would have sent him back, so at least he has some sense.

Because books.
Yikes, flea. Um, use the trick you're supposed to use bringing new babies home? Get Simon's scent all over something and introduce it to the girl cat? Let her get used to that before introducing the actual animals?
