Oh, my day? Acupuncture, Trader Joe's, then stopped for a falafel. Lots of traffic (??) and restaurants were busier than usual. It's our first sunny day in several days, which probably had something to do with it.

I’m not sure I saw My Brilliant Career before in the same way as I saw it today. Very feminist in the best way. It’s the classic tale of a person who puts career dreams over love. In this case, it’s a woman. And Sam Neill is the eye candy. He’s filmed the way Rita Hayworth or Lana Turner was filmed. And when the couple finally kisses, the camera is on his besotted face. It’s a simple role reversal and it’s wonderful.

Elmore, I forgot to ask : Can your doctor prescribe a walker like the one Laura posted a link to? Medicare covered the price for Mom’s.

It was quite reasonably priced, too, I thought.

Felafel. Yum.

Maybe that’s the sequel: The Rabbi Coverts the Spaghetti Monsters.

Continued healing vibes to John G, Vixmom, TCB, Elmore, and anyone else who needs them.

Here's hoping for the same for DR vixmom.

Well, Vixmom, can you make a fist using only one hand?

The Rabbi Slurps Spaghetti. My favorite book title of the day.

In the webinar I attended yesterday we were discussing the power of belief systems. Apparently some people believe in flying spaghetti monsters. Seriously. Nothing to do with the rabbi, though.

TAR is an interesting follow to My Brilliant Career. Not necessarily a good follow.

Two women obsessed with their careers to the exception to all else.

We watched a documentary about the rise and fall of Ambercrombie & Fitch.

Their business plan of exclusion was pretty much repudiated by the end.

So what if I still don't know what Armageddon means?
