Tutu

D spent most of the day today with a Dutch business partner. They were eating lunch and the Dutch guy started saying how much he hates tutus. How he has disdain for them. How they're everywhere!

D thought he was going crazy, that there was a huge trend in tutus and he was just missing it. Finally it dawned on him: TATTOOS.

Hee.

Also, I saw Waitress today. It was one of those cases of a movie ruined by its ending. I was loving it...the exquisite pies (during the opening sequence, all I could think was, "I want a banana!"), the snappy dialogue, the wacky friends, and Nathan Fillion. Then they had to spoil it with the ending. I was going to give it an A++ with distinction, but the ending brought it all the way down to a B.

They really should bring me in as an ending consultant.

Haha...I was wondering why he'd hate tutu's so much! They're too cute to induce hatred!

Thanks for the heads-up on Waitress! I actually might wait for the DVD now. And I agree, those pies do look yummy even in the commercial.

A tutu is the word we use for girlie parts around here.

I'd have been snickering inwardly for sure.

KB - you might actually like the ending, I know some other ppl did. And up till the ending, it was great.

Caro - hee!

Kristen - yeah, I wanted something to happen that didn't (I don't want to be more specific and spoil it for those who haven't seen it ;)

I really liked the ending of Waitress!

Next time D meets with him, he should apply a bunch of those temporary "tutus" all over himself.

I wonder if I could sneak in a pie to go watch "Waitress".....

You never know what the next fad will be. Didn't Sarah Jessica Parker once start a tutu trend by wearing one with leggings on Sex and the City? :)

Rox - that would be perfect! They should hand them out at the movie theater.

Liz - yes, I remember that! And Bjork's swan thingy at the Academy Awards ;)

Suzy - that would probably be a good story, actually. Romantic and tragic...

Aww I HATE it when they do that.
Was it your normal sappy,expected ending? Or was it just disappointing in general because they did the unexpected??

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
