In Memoriam

[Jenny]

God loves a terrier!

Rewatched Best in Show last night - I've seen it many times but not in a long time and had forgotten how clever it is beneath its top coat of kitsch and camp. Catherine O'Hara is magnificent of course, and the rest of the cast is also wonderful - Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge, Jane Lynch and Parker Posey anyone?

My Instagram feed is filled as well - so much love and appreciation, so well deserved.

I didn't realize he was only a few years older than me. Their big hits came in the early 2000s when he would have been super young. Cancer sucks. Fck cancer.

Cancer sucks. Fck cancer.

Words no one would ever argue with, I think. I remember how much I liked the song "It's Not My Time." Kind of chilling to listen to it now.

One of the true greats. And my mom's favorite actor. She was lucky enough to spot him once in a restaurant in Middleburg, Va., where he owned a farm. She didn't go up to him, just sat and fangirled from afar.

Augustus (Gus) McCrae is one of my favorite all-time characters and according to his obit it was also one of his. I rewatched "Lonesome Dove" in the last couple of years and just reaffirmed by love for Duvall in this series:
