Also: supposedly Jason Momoa was seen filming something in Northern Ireland and hanging out with the GoT folks. Make of that what you will: a Drogo flashback?

Is that a Palantir?

I recently became part of a poly relationship (a couple invited me to join them in creating a three-person relationship). It’s taken some adjustments, but they are so good to me and I’m really happy. I can say more if anyone’s interested.

And Mitt and Anne had to sell their stocks to make ends meet.

OT, but best of luck on the bar exam! Which state?

My mom was a fantastic seamstress, and she made a stunning dress one year for the Marine Corps Birthday Ball (she was a secretary to several Marine Generals in the late 50's). It was black taffeta, strapless with a deep V back, sweetheart neckline, tea length with fullness from a small crinoline. The best part was the…

I have a big, beautiful, wonderful oval rug made from T-shirts and sheets, and I love it lots. The one drawback is that even with a non-slip rug pad, it slips around A LOT on my hardwood floor. When the cats chase each other, they mess it up really easily. If my admittedly fat felines can mess it up, imagine what…

Well, also: Do none of these men have women who are, just, you know, FRIENDS? When I was in graduate school, my friend Tara was in a Ph.D. program. Her husband Lee, who is also a friend, had lots of alone time du to Tara’s demanding schedule, and Tara actually recommended that Lee and I go have dinner and hang out. We…

Interesting: all the Swedes I’ve known, including relatives over there, learned English in school, so the vast majority are fluent. You’re right about Alexander’s voice: here he sounds MUCH younger than in BLL. His voice in BLL sounds much more like a sexy growl (rowr indeed).

Nicole’s American accent on To Die For was spot on. I think both her character and Alexander’s are supposed to have some sort of not-strictly-Californian background, which would explain the variations from their voices and Reese’s/Laura’s/Shailene’s.

I’ve worked on six McDonagh plays, including TLoI: all incredibly violent and hilarious, and magnificent. McDonagh’s characters are so fun for us actors to create, and the dialogue regularly cracked us up during each rehearsal. Also, for A Skull in Connemara, I had to make an entire set of bones for each performance,…

Are you watching Big Little Lies? He’s SO good in it.

I’m classic Scandinavian and my sweetie is Native American, and though I can’t make babies anymore, I wish we could make some beautiful cafe au lait babes.

As a fellow Chicagoan, this entire thread makes me so happy. I SO wish Michele would run for mayor.

Oh, join the club. I also read that years ago, pre-The West Wing, he appeared on Broadway in Sam Shepard’s Buried Child. He had a scene near the end where he has to walk onstage, nude, carrying a dead lamb. Apparently the dead lamb was not what captured the audience’s attention and focus. Ponder that for a bit - or a…

A few years before Postcards From the Edge, Shirley appeared on the Oprah show, and I was fortunate enough to get tickets for it. The show was about one of Shirley’s books, Out on a Limb, that had been made into a mini-series, IIRC. After the show, Shirley graciously met the audience and signed autographs, too…

Please tell us more about him. Those of us in our secret FB Hamilton group would squee for days.

May I copy and paste your excellent points elsewhere?

Yes! Keanu was on Live With Kelly this week, and he told the story. Completely adorable.

Reasons to love Keanu:
- When Octavia Spencer was first starting out in Hollywood, she was driving to an audition and had a flat tire. New to the area and not sure who to call, she was trying to figure out what to do about it, when a stranger came by and graciously helped her out. The stranger was Keanu, and they…
