Adam’s Rib, showing tonight at the Walker’s Summer Music and Movies in Loring Park. Tonight, when you go see Adam’s Rib, pay close attention to Judy Holliday, would you? Judy Holliday, the not-so-bright blonde, butt of jokes, with the fluttery voice and look of kindness and near-despair. She’s a fool, no doubt about it. The … Read more
I was on eGullet the other day and I found this site where you could make motivational posters, like the kind with cheesy moonscapes and sailboat pics above “inspirational” and “pithy” sayings. I’ve created these for you: Check out the others from eGullet food crew.
Only worthwhile happening tonight: the music and movies in the park event, this time with Vicious Vicious and a certain flick called Adam’s Rib.

Those days were an iron wagon loaded with rocks that we dragged through muddy fields with our teeth. You were a magnificent burning boat that would not sink.

Today’s the big day I get to go see The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron? Although I very much plan to let loose and open what can often be a very closed mind (on account of a certain artistic snobbery), I’ll be sure to report back with a critique. The only bummer is that I would’ve … Read more
