JASON ISAACS -- THE LOST GIRLS

I love the staff. I hope it starts a fashion trend. Can't you see people everywhere, sporting tall, crooked gold staffs?

I'll have to keep an eye out for the shoes.

Thanks, Hilary. Things is, people have been bitter, but the media seems to refuse to cover it. Even now, they'd rather call Obama an elitist, than face the reality of what he's saying. When you think of it, where do you find any news which has actual working class Americans speaking their minds, unc...

I been waiting for numero dos! (Speaking of Al Franken, DH was quoting Jesse Ventura at me yesterday, and for once I wasn't snorking up my dinner) I moved to Minnesota just as Ventura's term was ending, and ending, well, bizarrely. Have you seen Ventura lately? He's rather alarming. More than usual...

We had snow yesterday. SNOW.

Hilary, your dog is adorable!

Moira "Why the Blankety-Blank Did I Move to Minnesota??"

It's three weeks behind schedule (moving, new job, book writing), but my column is finally updated. (I hate the word "blog." It sounds like a nasty type of a nasal infection.) This time, I'm political: http://moiramanion.blogspot.com/ Next time, it's "I Thought There'd Be Food: Adventures at the Al ...

Dear Moira, How very nice your blog is. I love the old fashioned layout. Tell me, what is your picture book about? Sorry it's taken so long to reply. The book is about vineyards and grape growing, written by a man who owns Copernicus Vineyard in Maryland. http://www.marylandwine.com/mwa/winewares/v...

These are people with work in major museums. And I'll bet these major museums wouldn't let anime within ten feet of their door. On the contary. Many museums, including a couple of the ones where my friends have work, have had exhibits of anime art. When I was growing up, art museums and art profess...

Four years later, an expanding evil lurks behind the false face of freedom. With rebellion crushed, the State turns its eye to increasing its grip on the people by seizing an legendary artifact that would ensure complete domination and plunge the land into State controlled darkness. Sounds like the...

Here's where our opinions differ. I find Anime to be terribly pedestrian. In it's execution - it's amateurish, and as an art form, it's stagnant. What success it enjoys is due, I think, in large part to it's target audience (teens and young adults), Anime’s largest audience is college to middle-age...

Actually, Airbender is not anime. True anime is created and produced in Japan. Some of the most incredibly well-written, original, unique, and beautiful films and TV shows I've ever seen are anime. Anime thinks outside of the box because it was never in the box. It isn't afraid to tackle themes abou...

BKate is salivating to see this too. Personally, I was gob-smacked by the casting of Giamatti--he reminds me of the Geico gecko. The antithesis of charisma, and I don't know much about Adams, but he seems to have been a pretty forceful character. :D Personally, I think the gecko has more versatilit...

So what happened?? Well, Franken's lack of political experience bothers me. Minnesota doesn't have a good track record with performers who go into politics. **coughjesseventuracough** But now the guy I was considering backing has dropped out of the race. So I'm reconsidering Franken. Skeptically. M...

Hey, would anyone who sees the HBO series John Adams please report back here about it? I’d love to see it, but I don’t have cable. I’m skeptical about Paul Giamatti as Adams…I’m still in love with William Daniels’ Adams in the movie 1776 . In the HBO series, Tom Wilkinson plays Benjamin Franklin. Wi...
