    "Where there's tea, there's hope"

    It was lovely! Not high tea, by any means, but something you'd actually find in England. Good food and tea selection, all kinds of yummy sandwiches. And delectable little pastries at the end, Bakewell tarts... The server was adorable, with a wonderful Scottish accent. If you're looking for...

    "Where there's tea, there's hope"

    It's the perfect let's-go-to-tea weather here in California, so me and my friends are heading here this afternoon. Divine! I'll try to post pictures later tonight.

    I pitched my dissertation to the dept chair today...

    Who doesn't love the role of "tortured grad student's girlfriend"? lol She'll be there to pull you out of the basement when you need it, I'm sure.

    Oscar nominations

    I am stunned with the nominations. I saw Juno a few weeks ago, and thought it was overrated. Looks like the Academy thinks otherwise, but we have had differences in opinion for quite a while now. lol Paul Dano, James McAvoy, Tim Burton, and Helena Bonham Carter all deserved nominations, and the...

    Do I have to curl my hair to be vintage accurate?

    I think it was a morale-thing. Just keep moving, don't change your daily routine. I mean, doesn't everything feel a bit better when your hair is done? lol Goodness, I hope not! I just think it's been unfashionable since the drama of eighties perms, and all the girls with that beautiful...

    What are you listening to?

    For me, it's a Kaiser Chiefs kinda day.

    Is out-of-lip-sync driving you MAD?

    In the past that's happened to me, but I think it's your provider. Truly irritating, yes, so maybe bring it up with them or switch?

    Barnes & Noble Book advice??

    Since I work there, let me know what you're looking for, and I can rummage around and see what I can find. Have you bought the book based on the Ken Burns' The War? Or looked at the absolutely fantastic poetry book Jazz A-B-Z by Wynton Marsalis? That's one I think should be a must-have in any...

    Scotland!

    I love Scotland--it feels like home, and I love the weather! I'm thinking of going back (third trip--maybe a meet-up can be planned?) in April, to visit a very dear friend. It's too bad you didn't get to see Glasgow! As much as I enjoyed walking up the wobbly streets of Edinburgh, Glasgow is my...

    The Cheese thread

    I wouldn't say it's my Favorite favorite, but I love Wensleydale with a bit of brack. Mmm!! And sharp cheddar. And brie. And gruy?®re...

    Setting Lotion

    Oh, good point! Thank you for that info. I'll try that soon, see if it works! (Red, your advice is always so valuable. I'm so glad to have met you on FL.) And Josephine, thank you for the aloe vera advice! I may dip into that if my hair is still too unruly.

    Setting Lotion

    I was wondering about this too--I've spent a lot of time getting my hair (I'm talking years. My hair is naturally curly, but I didn't know how to treat it right. It used to be just frizz!) to the point where it needs conditioning only, and very little styling product, so I'm very wary about...

    Atonement ***SPOILERS WARNING***

    The Arclight in Hollywood has some costumes as well, including McAvoy's uniform. Really cool to see!

    Atonement ***SPOILERS WARNING***

    Well, I did hear that the costume designer was aware of the real/imagined fashion in the movie, that English aristocracy never dressed as 'glamorous' as Knightley and the rest of the cast are in the film. But the costumes are like that on purpose, and as Jaqueline Durran says in this article...

    Learning a New Language Past Age 10

    I studied French for a while: two years in junior high, two in high school, and two in college, plus two summers spent in France. While I consider myself relatively fluent, it's not because of the classes, 'though they certainly helped!, but because of my trips over there. My college professor...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Ooh, that sounds fun--I'll have to put it on my Netflix queue. I will watch anything with Auteuil in it--he's fascinating, so much heart. Anyone seen Queen Margot? Devastating film, wonderful. As for me, I watched Code 46 a few nights ago. Interesting futuristic premise, but I'm not sure if...

    What's your favourite porridge?

    I love oatmeal (I only eat McCann's too, scotrace!) with all kinds of goodies, usually with dried cranberries and cut up apple, and a bit of brown sugar. And I boil the oatmeal in half milk, half water. Mmm...must go make some now...
