Okay, Jerry truly must have seen the original ending of Fatal Attraction, because in that ending Anne Archer finds tapes that prove Michael Douglas didn’t kill Glenn Close (when she actually committed suicide), and then here, Hero Joe’s friend finds the diary entry of the dead Moxie that discusses the evil plot to kill Aggie…

This week the vases went from this … to this … This is terrifying. It has all gone too dark. I know I’m supposed to paint from dark to light, but I don’t know how I make that a pink pitcher now instead of a red pitcher. Screw it, it’s a red pitcher now. I…

Gary heard Cats was a train-wreck, cringe-worthy, an abomination. My only guess is that the makers of Cats have publicized its flaws virally so rubberneckers like my husband want to see it out of morbid curiosity. “I’m not spending money to see a bad movie,” I said.

This week, the vases went from this: to this … I really need to soften those sharp angles that showed up in the fronts of the two right vases. After adding the yellow, which took five minutes, I switched to another canvas and tried to do something opaque of the same subject. It was so,…
