'A Hole in the World'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hec, have you seen these Emma Thompson pictures?
Mmmm, that's when she was growing her hair out from doing Wit.
Thanks! (You know she shaved her head when she was in college too. Sniff, she's so perfect.)
Let me take a second to pimp the HBO version of Angels in America for anyone who hasn't seen it. She's a super sexy angel.
She's also quite sexy in one of her earliest film roles, The Tall Guy. (Another short hair era for her.)
You know, I have very few celebrity crushes but Emma is probably my current fav.
The only other ones I remember were: Aly Hannigan (Buffy era only, though), Debra Winger and Suzanne Pleshette.
Little Thompson movie I love, The Winter Guest. Her mother, Phyllida Law, plays her mom, Sean Biggerstaff has a nice juvenile role, and it's extremely atmospheric, with an amazing quality of light. Directed by Alan Rickman.
Emma in the Winter Guest - a little darker hair for her than usual. But a length I like.
A fetching, fair Emma in The Tall Guy sexing it up with Jeff Goldblum.
...and a red-headed Emma to complete the set.
I tried to get a drop-in haircut at the mall. The hairdresser said sure, come back in a half-hour. I did, and she said 10 minutes, so I sat and skimmed slowly through an issue of People. When it reached 20 minutes, and she was discussing with the woman ahead of me whether they should color it in addition to cutting, I silently got up and left without a word. Maybe she expected another hairdresser to have shown up by then, I dunno, but lousy customer service deserves some passive-aggressive action?
Congrats, Perkins, on being halfway through!
I have such fond memories of Xmas from when I was a kid, (though M is Jewish, and D and I are religion-free) we have the holiday and we are having a New Year's Party, and damn, I want to make some family traditions all of a sudden.
A pagan festival of evergreenery and light is just dandy! I think it's all part of how we get through the winter.

Happy birthday, DJ!
I haven't done in-person Black Friday shopping ever. Last night I went to bed early and woke up spontaneously around 4:30am. So I hit the Apple Store to see if Logic was on sale. It wasn't. Which was pretty much what I expected. Apple usually puts the hardware on sale but not the software. Which is weird because their profit margin is huger on software, making it easier to cut into and still make a profit.
I spent time looking at various sites for a compact sleeping bag, a boom mic stand, a metal screen pop stopper, and Logic. Only bought the latter of those (which was plenty of hit to my wallet anyway). Amazon had it for about 21% off retail.
I was going to try to hang with GarageBand as long as I could, figuring I wouldn't spent more $ until I really knew GarageBand all the way through. But when I was working on this last project, I found I couldn't export the MIDI from GB, which made it so that I couldn't collaborate with anyone who didn't *also* have GB. And given my RSI, I'm really going to need to collaborate remotely with other musicians. Logic also comes with loads of loops, which is also helpful to me given my RSI. So I'm looking forward to when that arrives.
