If you need any extra throw-pillows for cushioning, I have a chairful I'd be happy to send westward.
I caught a Showtime pilot for a show called Filthy Gorgeous starring Isabella Rossellini and that guy who's going to play the lead on New Amsterdam. It lived up to its title, but was good trashy fun. And Zeljko Ivanek has apparently aged about two decades since I last saw him on The Inside. I'm hoping it was fiendishly effective makeup, because cancer and AIDS are the only other things I know of that would make that kind of difference in someone's appearance so quickly.
Ooh, thanks for the veggie restaurant links -- I'm especially excited about the vegan pizza, which I could in theory have (if they don't have too much rice flour, anyway).
Now if there was only a vegan bakery....
It's always been Ant for this upstate NY girl. Also, I enjoy cutlery discussion.
IWeatherN, it promises to be 80ish today. It is 65 now in Otter Lake, so I do not believe. I've been enjoying the chilly.
Why oh why is it Monday again?
It's 76 in NYC now, but is supposed to get up to 98 by this afternoon. Ugh.
Yeah, it's going to be another nasty one here too.
I never understand what exactly the different ways of writing a word mean when there's a pronunciation discussion, which makes it all a very strange stream of posts to follow, all looking like they're almost saying the same, when they actually don't, and that slight difference is the heart of it all, but I can't tell what it is. I need a little microphone to the hivemind's mouth (does it have a mouth?).
Cutlery at least reads differently, even though upon catching up on a few dozens of posts, I can't make up my mind what I used to do in general before starting to read the discussion.
This picture (work-safe) made me laugh and laugh: hello, parking karma
The "ahnt" pronunciation is with the ah sound that exists in Hebrew. The same ah sound as "father" (or "abba," for that matter.) The "ant" pronunciation is with the one that doesn't, like the same sound as "hand."
eta: me = language dork.
OMG HOT. I don't know if I have a sweatier face than the average person or what, but I don't understand how people keep makeup on in the summer. I would be SOOL.
And Zeljko Ivanek has apparently aged about two decades since I last saw him on The Inside.
He's always looked kind of cadaverous.
After the Federer/Nadal match yesterday, I was glad Federer won (since there were a couple of times I was pretty sure he wouldn't), but I must declare Nadal officially ADORABLE.
