Stuff for Fun

Everyone should look this good at 55. Why shouldn't Barbie flaunt her youthful looks? She'll be appearing in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue.

The new Flash series is getting a special guest star for its pilot episode: John Wesley Shipp, the original Flash actor! I'm one of the folks who loved that old show, so I'm really excited about this, even more than I was when the character of Barry Allen was introduced in a 2-part Arrow episode this season.

And to conclude, some donuts from The Donut Pub. People might like fancy donuts, but I prefer them simple and basic.

Links I Forgot to Include Last Post

I meant to post this and forgot. Bad blogger! Anyway, this might be my favorite, so far, of this Movies in Real Life from Improv Everywhere: Harry Potter in Real Life. The kid is amazing.

Do you like those Google Doodles? Did you know you could get products like posters and cards with them? Yes, you can!

And, some donut photos from the Doughnut Plant. Pictured: Yeast Donut: Valrhona Chocolate. Cake: Triple Chocolate, Cinnamon.

However, as tasty as these donuts are, I prefer the plain old frosted donuts from The Donut Pub.

Snack and a Movie

A friend and I saw the movie "Blue Jasmine" yesterday and enjoyed it muchly. Cate Blanchett gives a brilliant performance as a woman uhinged after her perfect marriage and perfect upper crust life fall apart. With no income, no job, and just out of a sanitarium after a breakdown, she moves in temporarily with her working class sister while she attempts to put her life back together. But life and her own inability to cope work against her. This is one of Woody Allen's best films in a while.

After, we went for a snack at the Doughnut Plant. I'd been wanting to try their donuts but hadn't gotten around to visiting their downtown location, but they added a second location on West 23rd St. in Manhattan, conveniently located a block or so from a movie theater, thus making it an excellent place for a post-movie snack. The variety was impressive, and there were a number of choices for confirmed chocoholics. I selected a triple chocolate and was not disappointed. This chocolicious confection was moist and rich with chocolate goodness. I need to go back and try the other chocolate options, and perhaps some of the non-chocolate donuts, too.

Day of the Donut

Today was Day of the Donut, on flickr. After flickr added videos and people started protesting, the We Demand Donuts group was formed, and flickr announced the Day of the Donut. For people in San Francisco, that meant free donuts if you showed up today at the right donut shop at the appointed time. There was an unofficial donut meetup in NYC, but I couldn't make it. I did get a donut, tho, from The Donut Pub. I selected a chocolate glazed beauty.
