Today is picture day at school. My son’s hair is in that unfortunate in-between stage, growing out from his summer camp shearing. Which means it’s too short to lay flat and is sticking straight up all over the place, like an anime character. I suggested we roll with it and gel it up to make it even spikier but he wasn’t having it. The best I can hope for is that he’s managed to keep his new shirt clean before his turn to sit in front of someone else’s camera (and yes, I find it difficult to fork over money for Lifetouch photos when I am a photographer myself, specializing in children’s portraits). Le sigh.
Five good things:
- Recently we saw Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame. I was feverish and fell asleep during part of it. But the boyfriend was well and lucid and recognized a name in the credits - a former teen idol - and today sent me a link to this song by Teddy Robin And The Playboys. Nifty.
- Deep-voiced actor Peter Serafinowicz points out what looks like a Turkish Dalek
- From Interview Magazine: “Writing used to be dangerous. In James Wolcott’s memoir Lucking Out: My Life Getting Down and Semi-Dirty In Seventies New York (Doubleday), Wolcott describes the rough city where his career began and the dynamic newspaper editors, cultural critics and icons who ran its gritty streets.”
- From today’s Google Offers, just a buck for a ticket to “Edo Pop: The Graphic Impact of Japanese Prints†at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts - an exhibit I’ve been looking forward to.
- More on the Minneapolis Indie Xpo, from MPLS.TV
Taking a brief break from short sale/moving stress to enjoy a (hopefully) good meal tonight at Masu. I haven’t been yet and have heard mixed yet intriguing reviews.

I know–we had picture day at school a couple weeks back and I had to fork over nearly $50 to Lifetouch for pictures I haven’t even seen….ugh.
