No question, about the deserving. I’m only surprised because of how underrated and unheard-of a talent he is, especially in America. I’m pretty sure I would never have heard of Eddie Izzard if not for Jezebel-some commenter made a mention years ago, probably the Cake or Death bit. I think his liberal politics-the…

Would you? I think I might, too. He’s a very smart man, so Eddie would be great fun. Plus I admire his energy and stamina-those marathons. Jesus! Last night he wore a kilt and a black leather jacket for the first set. And boobs! Said he got them in Ikea, came with instructions for assembly. Thanks for the note about…

There was so much interest in ticket sales that a second night was opened up at the Orpheum. “The Orpheum Theatre is a 1364-seat theatre in downtown Phoenix. This venue was originally used for vaudeville acts as part of the nationwide Orpheum Circuit.” Built in 1939, so it’s lovely. Lots of jokes about real life,…

Hello yourself. Congratulations on all the hard work paying off. I’m right there with you, have been trying to lose weight as per doc instructions for 3 years now. I’ve only been successful since I started working with a nutritionist in February. Since then I’ve lost over 20 lbs, which is remarkable in itself. But…

Everybody alright this evening? I hate to post and run, but I must away. I have a big date in downtown with this guy:

LOL, PANtheon. I believe the Parthanon is in Athens.

Late to the party so I’ll try to be brief. The night before my flight home to AZ my elderly landlady convinced me to join her for small dinner with home-made drinks in her ancient apartment in the 5th Arrondisement near the Parthenon in Paris’ Left Bank. Really, the Rue Mouffetard was just down the street, but she…

Well, that was bad but could have been worse. Mercifully, nobody ended up with pasta in the butt. 

Eep!

Her nails and his tie were made for each other. 

Yes!

LOl, I KNOW!

Yes, and kudos to her. My bike helmet looks nothing like that thing she is wearing. She looks so happy!

Local news agencies reported the insect larvae were detected near a trachea wound. Hacienda’s spokesperson said, “the incision was a stoma, which is an artificial hole surgically created on the body, sometimes for a tracheal tube on the throat. Other stomas can be located on the abdomen for waste removal.” No doubt…

No, not alone

Hello from Arizona and thanks for the mention of ‘Pride’. I found it on Amazon after reading your (and ieatlemonskins)‘s movie remarks from last weekend. I liked Pride very much, enjoyed the urban vs rural and Wales vs London and southern England contrasts. Although I’m old enough to remember the rise of awareness of…

You can click through to the article from NYT reference above or just read Frida’s synopsis: “The news is obviously devastating—in no small part because surely everyone who’s ever tried a Krispy Kreme donut before has, however briefly, entertained the thought that they could love a donut company unconditionally.…

What a huge difference this will make in your quality of life. Happy news, indeed.

The guy with the glasses, his pocket square has tiny white airplanes. How cute is that???

That’s a super-smart idea. I know I try really hard to slam down a glass of water at every meal including breakfast when I’m traveling. Especially in winter it’s easy to forget to drink when you’re busy. Erdogan isn’t the only leader who needs to go away, but I like your attitude. Would be good to see a lot of them…
