It's criminal that Holiday and Bringing Up Baby aren't available on DVD. Just criminal. Come on, Hollywood, Ms. Hepburn deserves better. And if you haven't see Holiday, you should (I tend to assume everyone in a civilized society has seen Bringing Up Baby)- my beloved Kate is wonderful as usual, as is the ever-charming Cary Grant, and I have a slightly embarrassing crush on Lew Ayers as Ned (he's so cynical and lost, poor dear). It's always been one of my favorites, and it and Bringing Up Baby both deserve the snazzy Criterion DVD release with all the trimmings. Hop to it, Hollywood!

I got sucked into watching some vegan cooking show this morning, mostly because the host had very nice hair and sounded like Lauren Graham. But then she made biscotti with (alongside the normal ingredients) toasted hemp seed, hemp oil, brown rice syrup, and a mix of soy and rice milk. I don't think I'd be a very good vegan, because instead of thinking, "How resourceful! I should try that!", I kept thinking "Ewwww. Biscotti abuse!" Pity, she really did have nice hair.

Maybe it's just me, but the phrase "quivering flanks" makes me think "Mr. Rochester's horse," not "steamy sex scene". A little jarring, really. Though I do remember hearing about a Shadowfax/Bill the Pony fic somewhere out there...
