A festival of the mundane

A few things in lieu of being so serious all the time. Enjoy!

Best moments at the Oscars —

• Colin Farrell’s speech honoring Jeremy Renner. I’m sure a video will be posted soon but, until then, here’s Renner reacting to his nod from the Academy. I hope he continues to get recognition. He’s got the chops.
• Meryl Streep wearing a lovely creation by Chris March, Project Runway’s favorite drag queen.
• This.

While walking home from church Sunday —

• I saw a man wearing this shirt. Unironically. I thought about asking him to pose for a picture (I was taking photos of window art that day. See below), but he looked at me as if he would follow me home, or at the very least start howling, if I spoke to him. So I opted not to. But trust me, it was glorious. (Albeit not the three wolf shirt. But close. Dangerously close.)
• Also while walking home from church, I was chatting with my sister on the phone walking past this place and I hear, blaring from CLOSED upstairs windows, I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor. What, I asked my sister, is iconic disco music doing blaring from windows at 12:45 pm on a Sunday? Even in DC? And then I remembered something the clothing swap ladies told me about — The Perry’s Drag Queen Brunch. “I think you found it,” Juge said with a laugh. Yeah, it’s on the list of things to do. Because it’s almost a certainty that the opportunity to attend a drag queen brunch doesn’t come along too often in life…and old time she is a’flyin…
• Also, while walking home, I passed this and again felt the pull to stop in and have some crusty bread, cheese and strong coffee. On the list…

After church —

• Watching this again. During Lent. While eating chocolate. That might make me a bad Catholic…
