Apparently my grocer keeps the champagne in a special locked fridge. Sorry, fancy thieves.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has announced the great Carmen de Lavallade has died at age 94. A dancer extraordinaire, of course, and could act too. Here she is with Harry Belafonte in the often overlooked 1959 noir, Odds Against Tomorrow. It's a small role, and she totally steals the scene.

Hands up everybody who has this bottle in the fridge.

(Mine came from the first winery I visited after I moved to the Bay; the most delicious sparkling rose I've ever had in my life, and I can't *wait* to taste it again)
This is like my fancy bottle of sparkling wine I keep chilled because one day, That One Guy will be promoted to corpse.

Hot takes from me, a woman who listens to Christmas music all year round:

Luther's O Come All Ye Faithful >
Mahalia's It Came Upon a Midnight Clear >
What Christmas Means to Me =
This Christmas =
Oh Santa >>>>>>
Wrapped in Red >
All I Want for Christmas is You >

everything else

There's a parking attendant at the mall because of the holiday traffic. He's using the captive audience as his big chance to try out his stand up comedy.

I *loathe* boxing. But I could look at pictures from this all day. This one in particular belongs in the Smithsonian.

Unprofitable. Raking in 300 million a month.

Maybe your streaming service doesn't need to exist.

(Also, those "on pause" ads are so provoking. Half the time I just cut the show off in disgust. Can't imagine what I'll do if I see an ad when I open up the app.)
Peacock currently has 41 million subscribers and still isn’t profitable, which could partly explain why its ad policy has become so aggressive.
Peacock showing ads upon launch opens the door for more disruptive streaming ads
Subscribers will start seeing ads when selecting a user next year.

The weekend was a total loss. Woke up way too early with doom on the brain. Decided to take emergency Monday measures, and they helped.
