I was planning to watch the Spaey documentary.....I have to jump through all kinds of hoops to get MAX to work....hopefully I can do so, but probably not until this weekend.

One of my Packard Humanities Institute colleagues wrote music for a Kevin Spacey production - Reichard III, maye? - and toured around the world with it. I know too much Spacey dirt. My advice is: believe ay least 4/5 of what dish you hear.

There's this Shriners Hospital TV ad using the song "If you're happy and you know it . . ."  I'm a supporter of Shriners Hospital, but the poor pitch from the vocals drives me up the wall.

It's not a question of believing or not believing Mr. Spacey - it's a question of not giving him a chance to respond - he's very forthright in his interview that he did some of the things he was accused of - but the point is, Anthony Rapp lied and admitted it, and some of the gentlemen in the documentary, while alleging this or that happened, as even the documentary has to say, none of it rises to the criminal. Spacey even says that if it's true they should take him to court and let a jury decide. And that seems fair enough. I'm not on anyone's side here, and at the time these things allegedly happened, I'm sure we could all dredge up things from our past that would now get us cancelled or be deemed inappropriate, whether verbal or what they conveniently call unwanted touching. I'm sure I've put my arm around people for photos or some other function, I'm sure I've given people a hug and perhaps they didn't ask for it - that's what humans do but not anymore.

The famous snake goddess of Knossos. She’s tiny. And she wears a cat on her head. But not a bra.

From an obit of Alice Munro, who has died at age 92. She was a brilliant short story writer.

“Everybody’s doing their own novel of their own lives,” she said. “The novel changes — at first we have a romance, a very satisfying novel that has a rather simple technique, and then we grow out of that and we end up with a very discontinuous, discordant, very contemporary kind of novel. I think that what happens to a lot of us in middle age is that we can’t really hang on to our fiction any more.”

Back from pasta papa and buying some pants and shirts - haven't done that for almost four years now. And one look in the mirror there whilst trying on said pants - well, that did it. I am not eating any desserts or sugar or pasta or potatoes or bread for some time to come. I am disgusting, gross, and unacceptable to look at.

I agree with you, BK, about the documentary's approach; I am aware that Mr Spacey has a lot of demons and a certain sense of entitlement that got him in troubler. There may be - what? - ten men in the documentary, but there are more keeping quiet.

Carbs are the very best food group. But, alas, I need to avoid it all.

My doctor said I should cut carbs.
My eyes shot him lasers and barbs.
He can't be serious
I'll be so delirious
But maybe I'll fit in my garbs.
