Girl: Improving OTHER lives.

Cat: What makes those lives worthwhile?
Girl: Working for other lives' comfort. Working for other lives' meaning

Cat: What makes those lives worthwhile?

Sunday evening in line at the Trader Joe's near the college campus. Van Halen comes on the sound system.
Student 1: I kinda like this, what is it?

I love to imagine unprepared moviegoers going to see a Christmas movie starring Deanna Durbin and Gene Kelly and finding themselves trapped in this sordid hallucination.

Took a family member to the hospital last week and found the surgical reception area completely decked out in Grinch merch. Just the thing to make patients feel at ease before going under the knife.

I've learned a lot by studying my grandparents' archives from 1930s Austria, but perhaps the most important lesson is that Putzi the cat's favorite food was banana

I got curious about "rapscallion" and discovered a female parallel: "rampallion," which comes from the Middle English word "ramp" meaning "coarse, frolicsome girl or woman."

FROLICSOME!

A socail post from @GraniteDhuine that says:
I love the word "rapscallion", not only are you a rascal but
you're also being a bit of a spring onion about it too.

What a titanic force in film scholarship we have lost with the passing of David Bordwell. He was among the first to see the potential of blogging, and he used it to spread his love of film as art. And no one was kinder to fledgling writers. Deepest condolences to Kristin Thompson and his family.
