Glimpsed from a high place, the promises of things beyond contentment follow your steps, dissolve on your tongue, sink into your dreams.

A message that starts in a crossword puzzle style. Clues, but no little squares for letters to indicate conveniently that a word needs to be shorter. Some context to help. So it may be about watching the day's film footage, a producer's job. Then great food at a place called Blossom. A plainly enjoyable bike ride. And an unrevealing promise of something exciting to follow. Maybe. Just reading into a handful of carefully chosen words.

The original post. What is the point of the original poster's apologies unless she also deletes the post? As long as it's there, it's like repeating the whole thing for everybody that happens to follow the link.

So how long is that post going to sit there?

"a stage-effect to match the actor's mood -" With the cast it has, and the hints of the story so far, Margin Call promises to be the kind of film where you want to watch certain scenes again and again. You want to focus on individual characters in turn as they draw one another out and apart in situations where dangerous unpredictability has replaced the air. As Jachary would say, siked. Which is the best.word.ever.

So the hat was just metaphorical this time, allowing that glimpse of the hair... Now what's needed is a glimpse of the suit. The suits. Paul Bettany's three-piece is considerably more clothing than what he sometimes wore as Chaucer in A Knight's Tale--though it looks like he's a betting man again, and could lose his shirt. Today is midsummer, thus the perfect day to watch Stanley Tucci as Puck--pointy ears and limited wardrobe--in A Midsummer Night's Dream. The script for Margin Call must be quite extraordinary, a riveting story and characters to attract this immensely talented cast. And Before the Door, with ZQ wearing another of his hats, must be getting noticed.

It's a civil rights/equal protection issue. No to Prop 8

Bardot nightclub, with Tyler Shields, after Acts of Love Benefit, October 2009?

Mmm. Let's play a little. In NYC, an encountered scent evokes Los Angeles in a moment of Proustian memory. OR On actual arrival in Los Angeles, it is the smell of the city that identifies it sensually and immediately. OR (wandering into the region of unlikeness) ...Los Angeles. Angels. In America. "Smell is..."

More to do from here? Isn't that what the original post is about? Cut down on unthinking wastefulness in its many forms because it's becoming criminal now, in view of what's happening in the Gulf. There are ways. To start, close that door. And many others, metaphorically. Oh, and keep and wear favorite clothes for a long time. Literally.

DR. VENOSA. Nothing is 100 percent. We will never, ever be free of oil spills or any kind of chemical spills for that matter.

To try to resurrect Heroes? Happy birthday. Best luck for the year ahead.

The suggestion that the bus tweet refers to @halfadams' earlier tweets and photos is logical. But the interpretation arising from the dimensions of the bus is--fascinating.
