Sometimes I think about how frogs serve now as inextricable iconography for both sides in these Balkanized United States and I blame the Hadron Collider for shifting us into this fucking Babar/Berenstain Bears-ass timeline.

I'll have about 2 feet extra of sleeve suede I can send you

Honestly I bought a men's small and I'm swimming in it but I'm a shrimp

Don't know your style but I got a suede barn jacket at Zara for under $100 (don't recall the exact price). Is it a piece of junk? So far, no.
It's this one:
(And I look exactly like this person striding across a city street in my new barn jacket.)

What what what...?!

Wow -- thank you for this comprehensive take on Day-Lewis' acting choices. I especially enjoyed your perspective on DeNiro's Everyman problem. So true

For Louie, doing a set for rapists seems very much on brand.
Otherwise - Amen to this take.

WARNING:
My tap shoes arrived today

Don't know if you're a parent, but ...
moms also do this with abandon. (I used to live next to the National Zoo and saw some amazing stroller offenses).

What a totally charming illustration! Makes me want to write the story to accompany it.

This photo sends off deep Fargo vibes

He negotiated my first deal and -- naive at the start -- I eventually learned a lot by experiencing how he operated.

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to reading this.

So basically I've been in Tanzania. Last night's sunset featured zebras loping across the plain. Heading home, which means I have a few more hours before I feel compelled to learn what's wrong with Keith Olbermann this time.

Haha -- my new motto. Thanks Jane!

Around five years ago I was contacted by Sinclair-owned station (previously decent WJLA), to do a segment. Paraphrasing Bridget Jones, I replied that I'd rather wipe Saddam Hussein's ass.
I know I didn't actually say those words, but I was .... terse in my refusal, which for me is the same thing.

Very excited to read your newest; congratulations!

Wow what a fantastic story! Thank you for sharing it

Haha you're baaaaaack!

So very brave

Apologies for not adding alt text to all these photos. My cat is screaming her head off and if I don't let her outside right this instance, where I have to accompany her, I might die.

A photo of Robert Redford from The Way We Were

RIP wonderful Robert Redford; a man with talent and integrity and ... handsome as all get out.
I love the way he was

Actress Parker Posey wearing a pepto bismol lace tiered dress accented by a frightening filmy bed jacket with pink fur trim.

Love Parker Posey.
This dress, not so much

My favorite of this season's offerings
