Jibber Jabber

So we were boozing it up at the beach house a few months ago, playing an old version of Trivial Pursuit and Sunday asks me this question:

What two performers tied for the 1968 best actress Oscar?

The question

She generously asks me if I need a hint… and in total exhausted frustration I blurted out, “Barbara Streisand and Katharine Hepburn”. Absolutely no idea how I guessed it. None.

The answer

She was looking at me like I was working some dark evil mojo… but if I was ever going to psychically pull some info out of the ether it would be lottery numbers, not Bab’s greatest moments.

Greatest. Trivial Pursuit moment. Ever.

This was the cake I got Aaron for his birthday the other day. I was going to post the after picture but the gutted little dragon with forks sticking out of him was just too sad.

This looks like where I grew up. I always thought they were beautiful, which seems weird I guess. I was pretty happy when David Sylvian put out Steel Cathedrals.

So! Commence random and sporadic blather.
