For Christmas, Denny and I both got generous gift boxes from Penzey’s Spices, which included lots of different spice blends I’d never tried before. Just for everyone’s information, Fox Point Seasoning is really good in tuna salad.

I thought I ought to post something so that scary David Hasselhoff picture isn’t my top entry for the whole three-day weekend.

Denny and I saw Brokeback Mountain last night. It was quite good. The cinematography was beautiful, with lots of pretty landscapey mountainy stuff. Heath Ledger’s performance was great. At first when I heard that there’s a lot of Oscar buzz for him but not for Jake Gyllenhall, I felt bad for J.G., but Ledger’s performance really was the standout. To be fair, he had a more interesting character written for him. Restraint is a very interesting trait, and his understated performance really communicated the internal struggle he was feeling trying to resolve restraint versus indulgence.

Best supporting actress should go to Anne Hathaway’s hair. Holy crap, she had some hilarious hairdos.

OK…now I am going to be brave and try to upgrade to WordPress 2.0. I have a haircut at 11 a.m.; I hope I’m done in time.

See you on the other side.
