blogging the sunday papers
Wherein I laze around for two hours, eating a cranberry scone and browsing the Washington Post and the New York Times, so you don't have to.
What topics focus the attention of the intelligentsia this weekend?
** Diamonds **
The NYT covers Hollywood's faddish interest in conflict diamonds, and then makes clear that the gray lady herself couldn't care less.
** Blond ladies of show **
The NYT favors chipper cherub Kirsten Chenowith with a profile, while the WPost chooses the no-less-bubby Dolly Parton. Both tiny but pneumatic and powerful entertainers bewitch their respective interviewers. The NYT's Jesse Green wins the prize, however, for describing Chenowith as being "like a bag of puppies" and for making her so darn likeable! Much more so than her doppleganger on Studio 60.
** The rich, mating habits of **
When readings Weddings & Celebrations headlines, you often see an entry that makes you think, for example, "That Hearst? That McInerney?" In this case, you can finally nod in relief, realizing, "Yes, and yes." And wow. Though you have to read down to figure it out for sure, the fact that Guiliani officiated should be an early tip off.
Consider yourselves enlightened! You're most welcome. Enjoy your Sundays.

Oh, that's who he was talking about. (about whom he was talking?)
I wondered. I wondered and I read that damned thing straight through. No idea why. Something about being drawn to that space between class differences, though with a war on, the particular space that JM and this article occupies (The Village vs. Upp E. S!) seems about three degrees too insular to be taken seriously.
that's an awesome link! i read it straight through too. :)
