Bad Word Pairs #021“Wicker Furniture”I am a believer in the luxury of comfort. Many do not have this luxury, and so for those of us who do enjoy it, we ought to be grateful. That is why, whether it be a sofa, a chair, even a love-seat, furniture should NOT give you splinters. Which is what wicker furniture, especially well-worn, heavily used wicker furniture, runs the risk of doing. When I’m watching a TV show and reach over for that bowl of popcorn, I don’t want to be nervous about dragging my arm across the wicker arm and pulling hairs from my flesh. I also just dislike the creak of wicker when moving or leaning whilst seated. It’s like nails on a chalkboard for me. UPDATE: This, I just realized, is my 300th post. Hooray for me!

Addicted to Billy Wilder
The man’s writing, in a word, smoldered. Even something as mundane as an insurance salesman selling accident insurance to a lonely wife became a thing so tense, and so dramatic, that you couldn’t tear your eyes away from the screen as the scenes unfolded. If you’ve not watched Double Indemnity, or happened to miss Sunset Boulevard, or perhaps you’ve never heard of Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina, or Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch, then you’ve got some movies to Netflix. These films all have one thing in common, and that’s the taut, sharp writing of Billy Wilder.
