But I am feeling a sudden urge to wear red lipstick.
I did watch Forever, and squee'ed when Abe went into the locksmith's, as that is a few blocks from me and is the place where we sent to get our locks changed when we moved in.

I binge-watched a few at I.'s house last summer but didn't get a chance to sit down with it again 'til just now. It's one of those things that I think gets better as it goes along and you begin to realize just how many layers there are to peel back. ( Read more... )
