I have to keep retrieving my dad's hand drill, with its flat, painted wooden knob and gear handle, from H's toolbox. It sits under the lamp, along with a wooden hand plane. Elsewhere are the sad iron with the mechanically detaching wooden handle, on its own cast iron trivet, and a wooden coffee grinder with iron cup, burr, and fancy curvy crank handle. Old tools and implements--especially wood and iron, where the wood has been shaped and polished by decades of touch and the iron has an earned patina--are beautiful, and deserve display between use. Okay, the iron has seen use with us only as a bookend, but that's still *use*. I would not want to live in a closetful of them, however.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My issue with the mall hair is NOT the bigness, it's the untamed frizziness of it all.
Untamed? They worked HARD for that halo. Not a single hair touching another and sticking out at a 90% angle from the head was an ART FORM!
I know all malls look alike to some degree, but I swear I recognize that one girl from High School. This thing is giving me flashbacks. Was all the world suburban NJ in 1990?

Any thoughts on the new wonder woman costume?
Also, I love Ewan on a bike with a dog (and an adorable sweater/pea coat combo!)

Because books.
I saw that earlier today, Kat, and my first thought was BOOBIES.
Also, Adrienne Palicki is SO pretty, and the hair and the makeup there really aren't doing her any favors.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The costume looks cheap shiny. Too much like latex, too little like superheroics. But the script looks like a waste of Palicki and Thoms so far.

The pants are just SO SO shiny. I mean. SHINY.

I'm just glad she gets to wear pants. Er, of a sort.

And her hair is no good. Sigh. She does NOT look good. Or even fierce. I prefer Rachel Bilson in a WW costume to this.

Yeah, I was like "Maybe if the pants were less shiny? And/or darker blue?"
