Cyrano de Bergerac Theatre Scene
Absolutely one of my all-time favorite movie scenes. This may be the modern smartass’s rosetta stone (right down to that little stare of regret at the end).
(Bonus: we learn the proper use of “presently.” Please share this information with friends.)
I love every single thing about this.
Yo, it’s sick tight. BO BO.
American Merchant Mariners’ Memorial
The awesome Scouting NY blog has more photos of the memorial: “two men are desperately crying for help while a third tries to pull a victim from the water. I can’t tell you how moving this is at high tide, when the water laps at the man.”
Interview with the author of “Mastering cat”
Well, I realised people use
catso often that they don’t take the time to fully investigate it and learn it.
Oh, man, this is just terrific.
In a city where Kafka-esque bureaucracy and unbelievable outlays of cash await anybody with the temerity to want a decent education and a little joy for their kid, we learn there’s a nursery school co-op not too far from our ‘hood. (Yes, Monteiro; San Francisco does go even further West than where we live. Unbelievably.)
How awesome that this gentleman made this wonderfully tear-jerking video from a song about the school performed by one student’s very talented Mom.
We’ll definitely be looking at what we can do to work with these folks. It’s only humane little projects like this that make this insanely unreasonable town seem a little more sane and reasonable.
Plus, Ellie loves guitars.
Kate Hepburn: The FULL Cavett Interview - Part 2
[via Kate | MetaFilter]:
Katharine Hepburn rarely granted interviews, and when she did, she wanted them under her terms. When she agreed to appear on the Dick Cavett Show in September 1973, they went in the studio a day early so she could get the feel of things. They ended up doing the interview right then and there, without an audience.
