In cold blond

All right, all right, ya’ fans of Peak Prestige TV of The Golden Age! Take it easy! We are not big on the TV in general, except maybe for QVC & PBS & TCM — no wonder we are so dull! At any rate, between the precious & petulant prissiness of Truman Capote and the catty constellation of 1980s & 1990s female screen stars assigned to portray his high-society playmates, we have no option but to see what this series is all about. It starts this evening, in approx. 90 mins. from now, at 10 p.m. PST. Here’s to Sally Tomato etc.

You can have your existential-angst, galaxy-brain programmes set in impossible times & spaces, the ones that concoct stakes so unrealistically high or people so solipsistic & self-serving that every one of their actions or speeches is overwrought to the point of bearing no resemblance to common humanity. We prefer to see people on the screen who are tethered to the understandable moorings of real life, relatable words & movements & motivations that are routinely found here on Earth as we encounter this planet on a daily basis.

BestLine Racing Society Nightcap:

Back to Chas. Town, a nighttime stalwart!

(N.B. A late-afternoon visit to the ophthalmologist required dilation of the pupils, rendering us unable to use the computer until just now, about 10 mins. before midnight EST; Thursday is nigh! We post this for posterity; if the overlays won here, regrets — you know we’ll be back to actionable, before-the-races posting tomorrow! And if they lost, well, hey, ya’ saved some dinero!)
