eBay fun.
This eBay item looks pretty amusing, although shoddily put together.
The least they could have done was sew a little prison jumpsuit for the doll rather than spray painting it. Ooh–maybe they could have gone further and made other tacky versions of the jumpsuit…and maybe one for her little dog, too!
More like Flop Design
We were watching Bravo’s Top Design last weekend, and one word came to mind: LAME. I think Derek’s comment said it best…”It looks like a really boring version of Project Runway.” Sure, some of the rooms the contestants designed looked nice, but no one, not the judges, contestants, host, had any sort of life to them. No personality whatsoever (okay, so one of the judges was a bit bitchy, but that’s not enough!). Don’t waste your time on this one. Last Sunday I lost two hours (yes, we somehow got suckered into back-to-back episodes) that I’ll never get back. I think I’ll stick to scouring the Web for inspiration instead.
Shopgirl
I just finished watching the movie Shopgirl, and although I know it had gotten some not-so-great reviews, I really did enjoy watching the film. It was beautifully shot, subtly-acted. I loved the book when I read it a few years ago, and I think it transferred well to the screen. I’m sure part of why it connected with me is because the story hit a bit close to home. I think I got especially lucky, and much like Mirabelle, found the right person before the credits rolled.
Goodnight, Ed
Ed Bradley, 60 Minutes journalist, just passed away from leukemia. He always seemed like one of those people that would be interesting to meet in person. Journalists who don’t inflict their opinion on their audience seem to be part of a rare breed nowadays. I was just reading the story about him on npr.org and I especially liked this quote from former 60 Minutes producer Don Hewitt from when he introduced Bradley for a journalism award.
“I said to the crowd: ‘I hired Ed Bradley because he’s a member of a minority.’” Hewitt says. And after a pause, hearing some in the crowd gasp in surprise, Hewitt went on: “He’s a great gentleman and a great reporter. And if that ain’t a minority, I don’t know one.”

What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany’s at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No. I go for the chandelier; it’s priceless. As I’m taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I love the cold. Thirty years later I get a postcard. I have a son. And he’s the Chief of Police. This is where the story gets interesting: I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the chandelier.

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
