What are you up to this weekend? I am looking Cock – Have you seen it? My heart thrills to see how Steve Carell’s character adores his adult daughter and always wants to hang out with her, who, by the way, is played by the incredible Charlie Clive, who I think we’ll be friends with IRL. Hope you have a good one, and here are some links from around the web…

A peek inside two of Brooklyn’s oldest homes. “‘I know the walls are falling apart. I know there are nails popping up in the floor, but I find it absolutely fantastic,'” said Ms Cunick, 70. (NYT gift link)
Katie Holmes before and after haircut…should we all get spring chops?
In appreciation of frown lines. “When I’m angry or critical (or joyful, surprised, confused) I want to be read the same way… Now I’m looking at my ‘Elevens’ with more affection. When I knit my eyebrows together, I see a caterpillar making its way down a twig, a Shar-Pei puppy, an image of childhood favorite Tesseract, a wrinkle in time. I look at my father and his clever mind, his many years of concentration and analysis. I see the power of these little muscles. (via gloria)

my friend was wearing best necklace Second day.
Good. I was really like that in the 90’s. “We were built differently at that time. I once had a three-hour argument in a mall food court about who was the actor in a busking movie, but there was no way to resolve it other than unearned confidence.”
Also, four reader comments:
Sarah tells me something sweet: “This morning, while trying to get my three-year-old and myself out the door, she said, ‘I just have to finish my list.’ I asked, ‘What’s on your list?’ And he replied, ‘Spin.’ Three year olds are the most incredible people. Here’s your reminder to stop and turn around.”
On what jollifiers you have in your home, Molly says: “When we got engaged 15 years ago, my husband opened a fortune cookie that read: ‘You are domestically inclined and you will be happily married.’ He put it in a small frame and hung it on our kitchen wall. “I hope it hangs there until we die.”
Kim told me something sweet: “Our dog is seven years old, and this year, she’s starting to slow down. She can tell, and we can tell. So, I’ve stopped petting her mindlessly and started actually looking into her eyes when I give her love. I talk to her, thank her for everything she gives us. She’s such a sweet, sweet girl.”
On what your irrational fear is, Tracy says: “Reading these, I have to conclude that you’re all bananas. Your fears are so irrational. Most will never happen. I don’t have any myself. Oh, except for green lights at night, where I’m sure a car will run through red and crush me. And maybe squirrels, too. They move faster than I can see with my eyes – like frame by frame, I get a Miss the monkeys. Winged monkeys don’t help. But other than that I’m pretty cool.
