Have a very, merry, etc...

Well, I'm off to Santa Fe tomorrow for the holidays, there to eat a great deal of chiles red and green. It's been a good year - or rather I should say, the year ended a HELL of a lot better than it started, for me personally, which is all we can hope for in this world, no? I'm so pleased, in fact, that the fact that you can't get a smoked ham hock for love or money in this town is not enough to dishearten me.

Keeping Cool is Getting Difficult.

So, everything I ever learned about the J&J movie I read on random online newsfeeds, so I don't know how much of this is true, but there are rumors a-flying about the folks signing on for this thing that is apparently really maybe going to happen... Nora Ephron is pretty much a lock - as much as these things can be locks - and all signs point to yes for Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. (Please to knock on your largest available piece of wood. (And don't be gross, dude.)) Now I hear a little tale that Stanley Tucci just might be playing Paul Child, which is just about as awesome as it gets.

Pleasepleasepleaseplease....
