I think I'm going to go to the Evanston Borders' store closing sale. Now I kinda' feel like a vulture.
Natter 67: Overriding Vetoes
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When I walked by Borders on Friday, I forgot that I wanted to buy erinaceous's book, and then they didn't have it at the independent bookstore I was in this morning, so I bought it at B&N. I am clearly part of the problem.
Tom is making steel cut oatmeal for breakfast! Yum.
I'm watching Sandra Lee's money-saving show. She's making something with roasted eggplant, and she brushed the eggplant with canola oil rather than olive oil to save money, but then she's using some fresh rosemary as a garnish in her cocktail! This is so not how I would save money.

Excellent! Btw, my Francophile-cineaste, did you know that Henri-George Clouzot's Inferno (the documentary about his unfinished film with Romy Schneider) is playing at the Roxie? I've seen the clips on YouTube and what film he actually shot is unbelievably ravishing.

I did not know. My movie focus has been almost entirely on Oscar watching.
