This just makes me smile every time . . .

Fun

A fun site to peruse if you've got some web time to kill here , the Story of Bread is great.
and another here, which is super rad. It's called Pictures of Walls and it made me feel connected to the other humans in this world and all our goofy, stupid, thoughtful, sad, joyful, mean, funny and vulnerable moments.

Kitchen of Dreams

Okay. I've got to post one more picture from the Swedish site - it's just too weird.

Now you can feed your family and your horse at the same time!

Swedish band pics . . . Wowsers

I love these pictures too much, I want to post all of them, but you'll just have to look for yourself.
To see more Swedish band photos go here, it's pretty amazing:

He's back

Season Four has started. Hoorah!

Just Like Jesse James

Oh, who can forget Cher's song Just Like Jesse James? Well, mostly everybody other than my sister and I and possibly a handful of gay men who still love Cher. However, this is not a blog about Cher but rather it's about one of the greatest movies I've seen in a long time, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. It's not released quite yet, I went to a screening last night, and I just want to tell all three of you who may be reading this blog to go see this movie when it opens. I don't want to go into a lengthy review of the film, but I just want to state that it is a beautiful, fascinating film. This is the writer/director's first film which is crazy! The cinematography by one of the greats, Roger Deakins, is amazing. There are wonderful acting performances: Casey Affleck is awesome, who knew? Sam Rockwell, also great. I was about to list the actors but the list would be too long, they are all really top notch in this film. My husband and I walked out of it absolutely inspired, but as we're leaving we heard people in the lobby complaining about how long it was. We live in an increasingly dumbed down society of people with short attention spans. People want watered-down, safe entertainment. I understand sometimes wanting a fun night of being entertained at the movies, but that doesn't mean it needs to be brainless fun. Too many movie companies now feed the masses mindless fluff, we should be thrilled when a film is released that has thought, complexity, sensitivity and passion; people have forgotten that film is an art form.

Emmy's

The greatest moment of the 2007 Emmy's - why are these guys the coolest? Sitting through the seemingly endless tribute to the Sopranos and having to watch James Spader win best actor over Hugh Laurie didn't matter any more as soon as Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell ran into each other's arms.
