Open up your heart and let it grow twice the size of anyone I know

[sovay]

I spent the afternoon and evening with my niece. Have a picture of Hestia in the cat tree which I took while flat on the couch afterward, holding the phone over my head with one hand and petting the artistic subject with the other.



Godfrey Cambridge in Bye Bye Braverman (1968) gives the best surprise Yiddishkeit until Ed Begley Jr. in A Mighty Wind (2003). I thought for years that I was constitutionally allergic to neurotic Jewish comedy, but am now considering the possibility that I might just be constitutionally allergic to Woody Allen.

Hestia snuggling in a cat tree is very appropriate for a hearth goddess!

It's this one. The only film of his I've ever enjoyed is Mighty Aphrodite and even only because I like the idea of a Greek chorus showing up in modern day.

So true.

I never tried that one, although I can see the attraction of the device. I was shown Annie Hall and Manhattan back to back by someone who loved both movies and I just wanted to scream at the characters and run.
