Mid-Day Rambles



Lunch: Spicey rice and avocado with fresh garlic. Drinking well-iced orange juice.

Still laughing about: Yesterday's episode of Passions. Alistair, the show's uber-villain, watched as the lions he'd released into the Vatican's catacombs tracked Luis and Fancy (his grand-daughter). The lions closed in. Luis and Fancy held one another, anticipating their deaths. Alistair, viewing this all on a video-feed to his phone, quipped, "This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase Fancy Feast." Indeed.

**

Confused about: An even more wooden portrayal of the character Sheridan Crane. It's as if when recasting the role (temporarily?), they said to the new actress: "You are Sheridan Crane. Your father, Alistair, is pure evil. You despise him, especially since he made you believe for so long that your true love, Luis Lopez Fitzgerald, was dead. You're married now to a doofus named Chris who may in fact be one of Alistair's agents. You've just discovered that your son with Luis, Marty, is still alive too. Oh! And you're made of wood."

Nordic distraction #1: The design work of Jarno, a Finn. I've stolen the image at the top of this posting from his Web site. Thanks to the good people of Noisedfisk for promoting this one.

Nordic distraction #2: This creepy commercial from Iceland. Thanks to J, one of my favorite bloggers (a Bostonian ex-pat living in Reykjavik), who posted this at his rather awesome site.
