Back from a few errands - library, bank, shopping - and glad to be inside. It's hot, muggy, and yucky outside today!

It is warm and cloudy here.

There weather in Oakland is -- AGAIN -- oddly coolish for June.

Record-breakingly coolish, actually.

Which, by the way, I am not AT ALL complaining about.

I wonder what Uranus' weather is like.

More sayings that I was raised with:

More nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Found this on the internet about Gov. Mark sanford. Someone is wasting time between tax returns.

Nothin' could be fina than to leave South Carolina where it's boring
Nothin' could be keena than to visit Argentina for some scoring
Never dreamed the nation
Would be on my trail
I thought the Appalachian
Might cover up my tale

When I went to see a lady I'll just call Maria who's adoring
Who would have been guessin' I would wind up here confessin' to some whoring
Since I told the country she's the lady I love
They'll fight me 'til I'm no longer guv
Ah, nothin' could be fina than to leave South Carolina where it's boring!

They should substitute "trail" for "tale" because of the Appalachian Trail.

There are several variations of this, mostly having to do with the contents of the boot, but I've chosen the most commonly used for "mixed" company:

You couldn't pour rainwater out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the sole.

I remember the shirt I was wearing in that picture.

Here is a second picture. I look like I'm twelve years old (I was 18 at the time) standing in the entry of our hotel room in Virginia.

Child porn!

Which makes DR Ben look even more like an Andy Warhol superstar.

Or a Calvin Klein ad.

Others:

It's come a cloud. (meaning it's going to storm)

Well, bless her heart! (usually reserved for someone who did something mighty stupid)

Well, shit far! (meaning "fire", but pronounced "far" -- usually used when something bad has happened that is as unpleasant as the aftermath of eating beans or having diarrhea).

Go pick a switch! (meaning "uh-oh", we're not gonna get outta this)

That dog won't hunt. (meaning don't try to fool me)

I don't cotton to that. (I don't like it one bit!)

Don't trip on that bottom lip. (meaning, "Stop pouting")

He's/She's gonna bust a gut! (meaning, "He's/She's pissed and we're all gonna hear about it!")

There are also the uglies:

He’s uglier than the east end of a horse headed west.

He looks like something the dog’s been keepin’ under the porch.

He was so ugly my mother had to tie pork chops to his ears so the dog would play with him.

If I had a dog as ugly as you, I’d shave his butt and make him walk backwards.

Today's work project is another Blu-ray; this time it's INKHEART, a Brendan Fraser fantasy film that must not have made five cents at the box-office. Frankly, I had never heard of it, but the fantasy element of it intrigued me, so I asked to get to review it.

Fantasy and Brendan Fraser. My kind of movie!

I reviewed the BD several weeks ago. Not very good, IMHO.

Other expressions about a person's relative intelligence:

If brains were leather, he wouldn’t have enough to saddle a junebug.

The engine’s runnin’ but nobody’s driving.

If his brains were dynamite, he couldn’t blow his nose

He's dumber than a stump!

R.I.P. Farah Fawcett

Very sad. While I can't say I've been a fan of all of her work since her CHARLIE'S ANGELS days, she was a cultural icon in my youth. Even I had that poster...

I hope that any media frenzy that happens in the coming days focuses as much on her courage during her last years as much as on her wild Hollywood starlet period.
