i cannot make it out to watch the dog show. i am more sorry about this than you are. instead,

the great question: gold diggers of 1933 or gold diggers of 1935? dick powell, smiling, sexless wonder: i lay in thrall.

by the way, truman mcmath was the cavalier king charles spaniel from little rock, arkansas. he did not make the cut.

from the arkansas democrat-gazette:

“if the tv is muted and a dog or cat comes on, even in a commercial, he perks up. but some movies have irritated him.

‘lawrence of arabia drove him nuts,’ she says. ‘he hated the camel and the turbans.’ he was also distressed by the nuns in the whoopi goldberg movie sister act. ‘i think it’s things on people’s heads.’”

few experiences are more human than being at the mercy of weather.

also: please watch this.
