Thighs aren't the opposite of bellies.

A back.

I'm not so certain about that.

Obviously a belly with a mustache.

Strange, how even the late oughts blogosphere seems such a different place (tracing the post links).

The evil opposite of a belly would be a belly with a goatee.

I miss the late oughts blogosphere. After a long hiatus, I've been grasping at some way to get back into whatever the current version of that space is---and failing. Where do the conversations happen now? I gave up on Metafilter, tumblr is an avalanche of id and memes, Facebook is full of people I know simultaneously too little and too closely.

I hate that. I find Twitter profoundly unsympathetic, but it does seem to be where interesting people are talking.

OMG, they invaded the south? I had no idea; I thought this was a (justifiable!) animus from long ago. I AM SORRY. You're welcome to study whatever records exist of the Bay Area's successful neutralization of their local cells.

Apparently Dan Haggerty died. So the rule of three is done.

Meanwhile, I saw Julie Hagerty on a new episode of a tv show recently. I think the only other thing I've seen her in is airplane.

For me, Alan Rickman will always be Mr. Slope.

Thinking back on it was an odd film to get a decent size theatrical release in the US. I suppose it was supported because this was during peak Hugh Grant.

The rise of social media was definitely my get off my lawn moment. I've just never been able to find anything interesting in it. "Avalanche of id" is a great description of tumblr.

32.2 was supposed to say that "An Awfully Big Adventure was an odd film to..." The title disappeared for some reason.

I blame social media.

Julie Hagerty played Corinna Stroller in John Guare's House of Blue Leaves in its original Broadway run. They filmed it for American Playhouse on PBS. It took me absolute years to find a copy. (It also has Christine Baranski, Swoosie Kurtz, John Mahoney, and a very young Ben Stiller.)
