Welcome to Diane Patterson's eclectic blog about what strikes her fancy

I love the Web. Today I found a blog devoted to awful plastic surgery of the stars, complete with incriminating photos.
I spent the first half of What Lies Beneath wondering why in the hell Zemeckis would give Michelle Pfeiffer’s plastic surgery such extreme close-ups. The changes documented in Pfeiffer’s looks are tragic.
Not half as tragic as Meg Ryan’s. Ouch.
Any aspiring actor, actress, or Olympic decathlete should be forced to see this site.

I picked up the mail at the PO Box today and discovered within 1)a property tax bill…for the house in Los Angeles that we reportedly don’t own any more and 2)a final Department of Water and Power bill for $767…which claims that 54 KWH and 532 gallons of water were being used per day.
No, no one was in the house. No, the A/C was not running full-blast during the four months we’ve been gone from there.
Of course, I cannot get through to the Property Tax office (the voicemail is set on “busy”) and I’ve been on hold at the DWP for over an hour now.
We don’t even have a printer so I can print out polite, but firm, letters to the appropriate departments.
Pardon me while I throw up.

Today I dropped Sophia off at preschool and spent a little time talking to one of her teachers about how she’s doing, what she’s interested in, etc. Then I wandered around looking for Simon (who, every morning, gives me a look like, Yo, I get to stay here too, right?). Sophia came over to me and said:
Mom, can you leave? ‘Cause I need to play.
Ouch. Ouch.
