The Golden Age

I have always loved Sir Walter Raleigh so I was pleased to discover that he is going to be played by Clive Owen in the The Golden Age. (I know, Charles, I am very behind the times to have just found this out). Anyways. Here's the new trailer. It looks great. Although, I found the Raleigh-hanging-off-the-bow-of-a-ship-with-his-shirt-open channeling Mr Darcy and Leo to be a bit much. Cate shouts a lot to show us her power. (Maybe Hillary should take note?) Also features creepy Samantha Morton and our favorite ham, Geoffrey Rush.

It's a Poe-lar bear

Just loved this image

Zoopsia

Here's for Esmee who sadly could not be with us. Charles and I absolutely loved the Zoopsia exhibit at the Getty.
I think it is my second favorite

exhibit ever (after 24 hour psycho by Douglas Gordon, of course).
Here are some images from the exhibit and a link to learn more about the artist, Tim Hawkinson.
(I think Esmee actually had a similar bat hanging in her bedroom for a while. Absolutely avant-garde. Though I guess he made his bat out of plastic bags from radio shack and twist-ties.) Be sure to look closely to fully appreciate the tentacles of the octopus and the spine of the prehistoric dinofish. P.S. Zoopsia means a visual hallucination of animals. You can read more about the exhibit here.

Science in the seventies

So a classmate of mine sent this out. The first 3 1/2 minutes are very boring. Some nerdy guy discussing DNA replication, but then we get to the real deal. Maybe it is funnier if you actually understand the science behind it, but it is still pretty awesome. The bizarre poetry. The frenetic dancing. The body paint. The Andean pipes. Wow.

A piano playing cat

on youtube of course

celeb crush # 9

Roger Federer.....I love watching him play tennis. Always so poised. So perfect. He doesn't even break a sweat. He makes the other players look like amateurs with his effortless backhand. I have become absolutely obsessed with Wimbledon because of him. Here's an action shot and another pic of him channeling James Bond. And he's Swiss so he probably has excellent manners.

top 10 celebrity crushes number 9

Um, so this is an "old" kind of crush. like our obsession with Peter O'Toole or Cary Grant as kids. C and I just watched REDS and while the movie kinda drags and blah blah blah communism, etc. can I just say Warren beatty = HOT HOT HOT. LOVE Warren and since he like never makes movies these days I forgot how much I freakin love him. Def went through a warren phase when i was younger. anyone else have a random old-school celeb crush?

bill o'reilly loses his mind during argument with geraldo

omygod, this is so scary. bill o'reilly just goes nuts at geraldo who correctly accuses him of xenophobia and racism. It starts off normal fox banter and then around minute 2, bill flips out. frightening what passes for "news" on the fox network....

david berkeley

Fazzington and I went to The Barns at Wolf Trap last night and saw Vienna Teng, who we both love, perform. It was a great space. The acoustics were amazing. She was phenomenal live. Great voice and terrific pianist.
Anyways, the guy who opened for her was named David Berkeley and he was pretty good. Very Damien Rice-ish. You should check him out. He wrote a song called Day of the Dead about Bush's re-election. Pretty awesome. And he's a Harvard boy. Joint lit-philosophy major.

MC rove

1). PG Version (amazing candy lane stuffs)

2). Its Raining 300 Men

3). 300 Men Will Survive (possibly my favorite, am such a sucker for that song)

La Folie de Notre Mere...

Check out my most recent email...

Hi, I see by the news you seem to be living in the new crime capitol of the world. Keep safe. Hope to see you some time this week. On the otherhand, the Hollywood Hills are burning and of course, DC is always the nutty capitol of the world. Love and hugs, Mom

In the subject she just wrote "Dorchester". The way she talks you'd think I live in Beiruit. But apparently you guys have to look out for forest fires and insane people.

top 10 celebrity crushes

ok mes soeurs, who are your top 10 celebrity crushes???

I'll start with my #10. Michael Ware. Who, you may ask? He is the angry, passionate CNN reporter who has been telling it like it is in Iraq for God knows how long. I love his Australian accent and his fearless reporting style. He's recently got himself into hot water for supposedly heckling John McCain....I love it.
