“My yen for you goes up and down like a fever chart.” –Peter Breck to Constance Towers, “Shock Corridor”

Under the Blog Watch, Out of the sun, Under the Blog Watch, We’ll be having some fun, Under the Blog Watch, People walkin’ above, Under the Blog Watch, We’ll be makin’ love… Ted Barlow: Let ‘em see your medical records; huge, gaping, wildebeest-sized holes in the case for investing Social Security $$ in stocks (I’ve [...]

“We’re all sisters under the mink.” –Gloria Grahame to Jeanette Nolan, “The Big Heat”

Maybe I should have given up posting about Andrew Sullivan for Lent, since Amy Welborn is doing such a good job. She makes some very astute points about Jesus, sex, and silence.
