I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, no movie?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am watching Grace & Frankie and enjoying it. Seventy is the new fifty, eh? I like all the kids, too. Sometimes it's a little... too, too, but who cares. It's good fun.
I am late x infinity on this, but I just binged through the first three episodes while my mom was here helping out with Matilda during Hec's trip to NY. I, too, am loving it so far. The previous-shows scrim through which I can't help seeing everything is less President Bartlett-related than from noticing that the co-creator and a lot of the writers are "Friends" alums, and I keep seeing Fonda's and Tomlin's characters as alterna-verse Older Rachel-who-actually-married-Barry and Older Phoebe-who-stayed-married-to-her-gay-ice-dancer-but-he-really-was-gay-after-all. It really doesn't diminish the pleasure of it; if anything, it's a kind of delightful thing to noodle around with.
And, oh, Fonda and Tomlin are both so very good, and it's such fun to see them performing together again and just to see them performing, period. I love and revere them both as actors and human beings and it just makes me ridiculously happy to know that someone's created this new (admittedly little, frivolous, ephemeral) world for them to play around in.

Yes, but, sadly, not for fun. Strictly on business of business, hunkered down in planning and pitch meetings with the steampunk coding game/app people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, I *did* go to the Blur show in Madison Square Garden. And had tasty meals.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
JZ, Dan and I marathoned that show a few months ago, and I found it charming and funny. I have always loved Lily Tomlin.

I am just adoring her in this. I also love Sam Waterston as her guilt-wracked fellow hippie ex. But I'm having to take the show in small doses because I really, really want to throatpunch Martin Sheen, and I am completely unused to wanting to throatpunch Martin Sheen. I can only take so much of his character at a time.

Ah, JZ. Let us make a pact to live in the same retirement community, where we drink tea and icy cocktails on a comfortable worn green velvet couch, stroke our lazy cats, and cuttingly and amusingly dissect many things.
We shall devote most evenings to this, with long servings of time alone reading. It will be like a geriatric Bloomsbury.
With a hot tub. I'm really gonna need a hot tub after 65. We should have a TV screen by the hot tub. We're old, we deserve it!
