Don’t you just want to curl up inside it sometimes? I believe it’s called the “LeaveMeAloneBox”.
“I see much traveling in your future…”
Holy moley. First [title of show] announces its Broadway run!

Then, I hear Martha Plimpton is going to be doing Top Girls!
And now… Jeremy Piven in Speed The Plow?! (Without Madonna?!) Swoon.
(Well, actually, I swoon over Jeremy Piven for any reason.)
gOOgle, no. gOOgle, no. gOOgle, no. We’re not gonna do that!
I am in tears I just laughed so hard! Okay, this is made for a pretty specific audience, I’m afraid, but holy frijoles is it funny if you ever studied Beckett and follow technology news. OMG I need a glass of water!
And I’m going to be saying “Google” all day.
Cinema Treasures
Stop me if you’ve already heard this, but I just found out about a very cool site via a favorite librarian blog. Cinema Treasures is focused on all those classic movie theaters that are (or were) in operation around the globe. There’s even a theater guide in case you wanted to check out what there is to see when you go traveling. Check it out. There are entries (naturally) for my two favorites, Coolidge Corner and The Brattle with a really active set of comments on each!
Of course, if you already knew about this site, don’t I feel stupid?
How old is your child?
Michael just got home (at six a.m., ugh) from San Francisco where he’d spent several days at a library conference. I really turn into a worthless slug when he’s away and can’t sleep very well. And this time was compounded by a mysterious sore throat, achiness, and fatigue. Not sure if it was a cold or allergies.
But the one good thing about being a temporary bachelor is that I get to shop for groceries Michael would never eat. Here’s a partial list from my Sunday afternoon excursion:
Hostess Cupcakes, chocolate
TGI Fridays’ Cheddar and Bacon Potato Skins
Wonder Bread
American Cheese Slices, the orange kind
Turkey and Ham Hot Pockets, now with more meat
Fritos
Fritos Bean Dip
Ham and Swiss Lunchables
Turkey and American Lunchables, the orange kind
Totino’s Pepperoni Pizza Rolls, 90 count
“Um, he’s eight. But he’s only visiting for a few days. I just have to keep him happy till Thursday.”
