I’m thoroughly excited for the Academy Awards tonight and will be treating the event as a nice little escape from the horrors of reality. #oscars #oscars2025 #academyawards

Okay so this is a makeup test for the last scenes of Nightmare Alley. When they were tasked with the thankless job of trying to make Tyrone Power look bad.

Blasting one of the best albums of all time. Guilty (1980) by Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb. I cannot believe it’s now 45 years old. PS: I know my neighbors hate me.

Photos of the SS United States on her final voyage at sea, somewhere off the coast of North Carolina. Taken by the captain of the tug Vinik.

One of my childhood favorites.

You know I’m sick when I choose the beaker over the Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles. Art by James Hillier aka Nordacious. #onslow #keepingupappearances #nordacious

"Blanche, you're not gonna sell this house." Baby Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) gives her sister Blanche (Joan Crawford) a sinister warning in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)

If I see or hear that Jardiance commercial one more time, I’m going to shoot my TV.

I finally finished Strange Weather by Joe Hill and I have thoughts. I absolutely adored Snapshot — but many people stated Aloft was the weakest story and yet it was my second favorite. #books #joehill #horror

The SS United States has finally left Philadelphia after 29 years.

Tornado warnings at 3 am? How common!

Rouen Cathedral in the Fog, 1894

I hope they both lose.

Good morning, everyone! I’m really deep into this episode of Matlock. Ooooh it’s a doozy!

I dunno I think the lips are right on.

Happy 45th birthday!

So glad my hair stylist made me halfway presentable again.

The Oklahoma State Capital Bank designed my architect Robert Roloff. Photograph by Julius Shulman 1963. What a gorgeous example of modern googie architecture. Unfortunately, it has been altered over the years and looks quite different in the present day.

Today’s mood.

Listen very carefully: I shall say this only once.

This is me when I wake up in the morning.

'Chepstow Place, Notting Hill, after a shower' (1924) by Algernon Cecil Newton (Private collection)

This plaque in Prague has been rubbed to a shiny gold because for centuries, passersby have touched the dog for good luck, and also to reassure him that he's a very good boy. 14/10

All my weekend plans have been cancelled and I’m not thrilled about it.
