permalink Feeling under the weather today, so Brendon made me soup (from scratch!) and fancy grilled-cheese sandwiches.
Soup: white meat chicken, large carrot and celery chunks, chicken broth, thyme
Sandwich: grilled baguette, Emmentaler cheese, fried sage
He’s a keeper.

I had my doubts when I heard about A Single Man (a.k.a. Gucci Makes a Movie), but this looks very good! Make Julianne Moore up to look like Brigitte Bardot anytime, really, and I’ll be a happy camper. And it’s set in the early Sixties, which could very nicely round out the hat trick begun by Mad Men and An Education. Three makes a trend!

Funny, too, how this trailer and the one for the movie whose title I keep getting it mixed up with — A Serious Man — both make use of the rhythmic-editing-and-metronome trick. In my opinon, Tom Ford pulls it off better.

not the first time i've thought of mike teavee in recent months, won't be the last

New York seized on this (creepy!) fan interview of Miley Cyrus because at about the 2:50 mark, she admits to never having heard a song by Jay-Z. More like Lie-ley Cyrus, am I right?

I think the more interesting moment actually occurs at 4:12. The tiny child asks, “How do you get on the TV?” And Miley doesn’t know the answer. She doesn’t know how TV works.

“They record me, and then, um. That’s a really good question, I have no idea how they put me on there.”
