sure, his best friend, robert pattinson, gets most of the attention, but i’ve had my eye on mr. sturridge — not to be confused with another talented brit, jim sturgess — since his role in 2009’s pirate radio. i just reacquainted myself with him while selecting a random film on netflix, waiting forever. well, maybe not so random since i selected it because of his involvement. unfortunately, his part was greater than the sum of the film.
he’s also quite impressive in this fan vid compilation of his best interview moments:
i look forward to seeing his star rise as high as his best friend’s in the coming year.
this is the second christmas in a row i’ve used these as christmas cards for my doormen and co-workers. i just can’t resist the happy plaid. they’re also currently 50% off! BUY NOW
after reading others’ reviews on this item, i realize the fit might not be for everyone, but my sister let me borrow hers for the high holidays this year (synagogue gets cold!), and i just had to get my own, so i ordered it in three different colors! the fleece material is super-soft, the shape is more flattering than a pancho, and it’s just a nice basic to have around the home and office.
it’s on sale right now at nordstrom.com, so it’s a great time to buy.
i was getting into a bit of a malbec rut (guggenheim is probably my favorite), so one of the lovely men at the sutton wine shop recommended this vidigal reserva over a month ago, and i’ve bought it for almost every wine-appropriate occasion since. i don’t know enough about wine to describe it in any sort of sophisticated way, so i’ll just say that it’s smooth, delicious, affordable, and everyone i’ve forced to try it has enjoyed it. after thanking the man at the wine shop recently for recommending it, he told me it was a big hit among his patrons, and that they were coming in to buy about a bottle a day! (yikes!)
pictured is 2009 vintage, but here’s a link to more info about the brand and the wine itself (they feature a 2008.)
l’chaim!
