Friday's Perfect Thing

We have a roommate who's so deaf, dumb and blind about the worlds of fashion, art and enterainment that he looked at a picture of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt yesterday and said, "Didn't they break up?" And while we were busy raising our hand to cover our open, gasping mouth, he continued. "Oh, wait," he says. "That's the other one." It boggles the mind.

And still, and still, this person knew enough to lean over halfway through Match Point yesterday and say, "That's that Mulberry bag you want, isn't it?" And yes, we said. It is. Because it is beautiful, and because it is our hearts.
