up to here

THREE topics.

1. In the relatively small community where I live: two unrelated gun deaths since last Thursday. We're "up to here" in heffalumps. (theory of gossip)

2. Academy Awards dresses. My favorites were the gowns worn by Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Lopez. The "experts" (Joan Rivers et. al.) had Lopez dress up toward the top of their choices, but said the best one was Sandra Bullock's dress.

They rated Parker dress as worst.

I don't support that position. Also -- there almost ought to be separate "classes" or "types" of gown because comparing the Sandra Bullock dress to the Parker and Lopez dresses is -- sort of not worth doing because as I see it, it's apples and oranges.

Sandra B.'s dress was inside the lines of what most of us in real life might actually wear; the Jennifer and Sarah Jessica dresses were either couture (sp?) or like couture, and that's a Different World. In the reality-day of most people, those dresses are more like costumes.

Couture pieces should only be compared to other couture, or really out-there, arty clothes; more traditional be compared to other traditional.

3. George Lopez has a funny late-night show. I select his monologue over that of any of the network hosts.
