costco sells this 9.78 ctw emerald-cut diamond ring for a mere $184,999.99.
i think you can guess who pointed this out to me.
aftermath
celia and i ate some of the cupcakes last night, and also some of the the best lasagna ever. some generic lactaid prevented me from exploding like a cheese-eating pug.
we only made it through about half of the notebook.
as you can see, i took heed of eric’s reminder about the los angeles flower market, and also added a vase from chinatown to the mix. there were also some tulips that i snuck into her car before she left for work.
it was my best valentine’s day ever, how about you?
they don’t like it either
celia and i saw a screening of transamerica last night, and it is easy to see why felicity huffman got the golden globe and is a front-runner for the oscar. one great thing is that it is consistently a road picture — you keep expecting an issue movie to break out, but it never really happens. it’s about the journey, and fairly universal issues of acceptance and love. it just happens that the protagonist is a pre-op transsexual.
after the screening, there was a q&a with huffman and duncan tucker, the writer/director. one thing that tucker pointed out is that the film parallels the lord of the rings, which is also referenced when a character explains why the trilogy is “so gay.” huffman was very funny, and of course someone asking a question brought up sports night, which i bet she hears a lot.
