*massive relief*
So coming up on two years ago, the morning after Halloween, I had an eensy weensy vagal episode resulting from the previous night's escapades with tequila, gin, exhaustion, and choosing to sleep instead of staying awake and doing drunken crazy things which would at least have the benefit of metabolizing my alcohol. Unfortunately, this episode ( Read more... ) -
OLD
I'm watching The Rachel Maddow Show RIGHT NOW and Uncle Pat Buchanan just said the best thing ever, so I had to LJ it immediately. They're talking about the bailout plan, of course, and Pat says,
Telegrams...emails are coming in 200 to 1 against this, Rachel.
Cary put it best: How old does Pat think he is?
Better question: why are the rest of you ( Read more... ) -
Hats!
Coincidentally, the two movies I have watched over the course of yesterday and today have both been set in the 1910s and have involved gigantic flamboyant ladies' hats in significant plot points. I wish I could say that about every movie I watch.- Coco Chanel was a regular old Lifetime movie, but enjoyable for the hats, of course. Shirley MacLaine ( Read more... )

Thursday morning
A few assorted items:- They're jackhammering the street RIGHT outside the window. It is loud. I wish it would stop.
- The new 90210 is sort of awful, BUT it has LUCILLE, so it's sort of worth watching when we remember. She basically plays exactly the character of Lucille, only with a bad script.
- People keep talking about how bad it looked that Obama ( Read more... )

Quilts! Or: Katie finally uploads her pictures
I haven't quilted in forever, but yesterday I had kalquessa over to teach her how to quilt, because I like for other people to also have way too many hobbies that they don't have either the money nor the time to adequately spend doing. HAHAHA.

Uninformed
When did there start being new episodes of The Colbert Report on Fridays? I feel deeply deceived. -
Question
I watched this week's Project Runway tonight, and Diane von Furstenburg was on it (Whitney's boss!), and she gave the contestants their challenge to design something for her fall line which is inspired by the movie A Foreign Affair, with Marlene Dietrich. Now, I recently went through a bit of a Marlene Dietrich phase, and I felt like I had seen A ( Read more... ) -
RNC Highlights
RNC wasn't quite as good and exciting as the DNC, probably due to the lack of Viva Chuck Todd signs in the background, but thanks to our pals at MSNBC it sure had its moments, including:- Catching Triumph the Insult Comic Dog amongst the delegates during the roll call. (The whole thing is worth watching, but what I'm referring to is at about 4:50)

.5!!
When I got home from school yesterday MSNBC was showing the delegate count at the Democratic convention. I thought this would be extremely boring, because I really just don't care about all the exciting legislators who hail from each state, but I foolishly underestimated the play-by-play from Keith Olbermann and Chuck Todd. Some highlights:- Chuck ( Read more... )
