Movies. My dog. Trying to learn French. Food & drink. Proud to have MN capital named after me.
Long list of replies but I didn’t see Helen Merrill mentioned so we need her name out there 😎
(also I’m going to blatantly tag @tomasjmurray.bsky.social because — and forgive me if I’m wrong — you’re one of the few people I’ve seen mention her)

Fun question: Who has the sexiest singing voice? Not singer who is sexy physically? But whose voice alone is sexy.

I chose to escape tonight by watching F1 … and I am haaaaaaaaaaaaaating it. I feel so alive again. Honestly a great choice.

Here’s my year in review / #LetterboxdWrapped. I know it’s arbitrary but I’m glad I had a December where I could watch a bunch of movies and get to 100. 😅🤷🏻♂️ Most Watched was kind of a surprise since I’m trying to see more French films. But I saw 4 Wes Anderson movies this year, there it is.

Did all those folks really get along so chum-ily? Isn’t this a little EVERYBODY WANTS SOME for such egos?
J’sais pas, Bogie. But I sure enjoyed it.

Used this gap in the snow to get out and get the heavy wet stuff shoveled away. Look at that pretty sidewalk.
You know: I think we should call it. No more snow needed! We’re good. Everybody go home. Pack ‘er up! Just, I dunno, ship it further southeast. They like snow there.

Brigitte Bardot had my most-listened-to song this year: La madrague. I only discovered it this yr, looking for French songs as part of trying to learn French. It’s a fun & easy groove to get into; but also the French is clean, easy to hear, and not at an insanely fluent level. Je le recommanderais.

Also, I can report that searching on BlueSky for “unzipped” is an adventure I should have foreseen
Seemed unlikely after early searches failed but: I can’t find the ‘95 Isaac Mizrahi doc UNZIPPED streaming anywhere. Even to rent. Or snuck onto YouTube!

See, this is what the internet and social apps are for. Spouse and I saw WAKE UP DEAD MAN last night, interest is sparked, holidays coming up … Next day I see this author being boosted on here. Boom!, easiest book/gift purchase (“Gets Her Man”) I’ve ever made!
i see so much love for inclusive detective stories, nick & nora spouses, and solid whodunnits and yet i can get no traction for my series that is all that and more.
can you PLEASE help people know about Viviana Valentine? www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/GFM/a...

Holy mackerel MrsStPaul just went scouting and returned with a visual. And there’s two!
Since this place is the sane FB Neighborhood Page, I need to share that there is an owl hooting up a storm in #MacGroveland right now.
Somewhere near like Wellesley & Kenneth. Definitely not the St Kate’s owl from … last year? Or maybe the same owl but they’ve moved north a little.
