guilty as charged.

i also pronouce merry, mary and marry all exactly the same.

the pacific northwest american accent is the blandest of all american accents.

it's the unflavored gelatin on the glorious buffet that is the english language.

Not being American I frequently get an extra level of puzzle in the NYT puzzles, but does anyone really pronounce the name Harry as "Hairy"? Anywhere?

my favorite stand alone work of science fiction of all time. hands down.

when i was a cable guy i was "the weird one" any way, so i leaned into it. (not that i had to lean very far.) i used to introduce myself to new hires saying "i'm a fluttering butterfly of video entertainment". then i did a little fluttery dance with my hands.

i was asked not to introduce myself that way any more because it was freaking some of the new hires out. of course i stopped.

i started introducing myself saying "i'm unreal corvus. i'm made of meat."

found out later they just put up with it because they were afraid of what i might come up with next.

not to brag, but

i'm made of meat.

one on one art instruction. i'm jealous even if it works out to be the one time.

how can people have enough money to just - - not care about wasting it. i get pissed if 3 of my kraft macaroni fall out of the strainer and go down the drain. i can't even imagine just blowing off an art class i'd paid for!

you aren't heavy handed. you have a bold style. this is good.

i signed up for an art class and it's every monday and deeply realized how much i've never drawn things from real life by sitting down and looking at them. also karen is there. karen with the karen haircut from my art class. her first language is french. she's a very nice lady. a bit pushy and melancholic but same, karen. big mood.

coffee mugs are incredible shapes. charcoals are very interesting compared to everyone else in the class i am QUITE heavy handed.

Connie Booth Vs. Barbara Billingsley

Propaganda

Connie Booth - (Fawlty Towers, Monty Python's Flying Circus) - British TV was absolutely blessed when Connie Booth moved from the US to Great Britain and enriched every show and movie she was in with her talent and absolute BEAUTY! She looks like a real life princess!

Barbara Billingsley - (Leave it to Beaver) - Look, is June Cleaver the ultimate example of the unrealistic expectations and repressive cult of domesticity that the media forced on women in post-war, pre-second wave feminism America? Yes. Does Barbara Billingsley look insanely hot mopping the floor in high-heels and a pearl necklace? Also, yes. (Sorry Betty Friedan, she just does.) To her credit, she knew it was an absurd fantasy, she was a divorced (and widowed) working mom when she landed the role of the quintessential 50s housewife. In her later years she often spoofed her image, most famously as the Jive-talking lady in Airplane! (When they revived the series in the 1980s, June became a respected member of the city council and later pursued a college degree.)
