This is what I saw on my way to the subway this morning. Still dark out. Days getting shorter, light more precious.

Oy.

Hannah Price’s portraits of the men who catcall her.

Food 52 does Marcella’s broccoli and potato soup.

“Sink” by Richard Diebenkorn. Mid-60’s.

It’s gunna be a Diebs week around here. Man, how I love this drawing.

Here’s an old record I picked up along the way. Thought you guys might dig it.

Put the needle the groove and enjoy.

We’re all sensitive people…

“Seated Woman” by Richard Diebenkorn (1968)

Nice group of Big Lebowski links over at the consistently rewarding movie site, Cinephilia and Beyond. Includes this picture of Steve Buscemi and John Turturro taken by Jeff Bridges (the guy in the middle is Bridges’ longtime stand-in). Ah, my Zelig moment. You’ll see in the background right near Buscemi’s head, a blurry figure wearing a Clippers jersey. That would be me.

Ha!

The Sox are a win away from a trip to the Whirled Serious. Man, I’d love to see a Game 7 here but I think the Sox will do what the Cards did last night: take care of it.

Never mind those damn beards:

Let’s Go Tig-ers!

Kershaw and the Dodgers hope to live another day.

A trip to the Serious is on the line for the Cards. It says here that they find a way to win.

Never mind nuthin’:

Let’s Go Dod-gers!

There are four new movies that have been well-reviewed and have got me excited to go the theater. They are Captain Phillips, Gravity, 12 Years a Slave, and All is Lost. Oscar time came early this year, huh?

Apparently not. The Wife says to me last night. “This is the worst playoffs ever.”

The games have been close, it’s been exciting. She just means the wrong teams keep winning.
