#[Eva and her Jersey accent]

[simulation-machine]

With another year before Lou can start preschool, it was time to start touring and signing up in advance. Greenacres Preschool was the last stop after a day full of wandering around halls full of tiny cubbies, cutesy posters, and toddler artwork.

While waiting for the coordinator, Stormy met and got to talking with a chatty lady with a loud, Jersey accent and a big smile named Eva Purcell, and her adorable daughter Esme, who Lou immediately took a liking to.

By the way, this lot was by the awesome and talented @rebouks, which you can download right over here! It is honestly the cutest preschool I've seen yet and loved its entire vibe.

• All I’m saying is we got plenty of Texans, and people from Montana, and New Jersey, and Wyoming, or Kansas City. We got plenty of actors. So we don’t need some cat from Cardiff-upon-Rosemary-upon-Thyme, or whatever the hell it is, playing people from Montana. And in the reverse, they got plenty of people from Cardiff-upon-Rosemary-upon-Thyme that they don’t need our asses coming over there trying to do British accents. – Billy Bob Thornton • And we have a little herb garden, which survived the winter thanks to global warming. It makes me feel like a cool, old Italian housewife, that I kept my rosemary alive outside all winter. – Elizabeth Gilbert • As for rosemary, I let it run all over my garden walls, not only because my bees love it but because it is the herb sacred to remembrance and to friendship, whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language. – Thomas More

Rosemary’s Baby is about the fear of having a child and how that gets in the way of a romantic relationship. Or whatever it is, and you add that extra element that blows your mind apart. – James Ponsoldt • Carmelia Montiel, a twenty-year-old virgin, had just bathed in orange-blossom water and was strewing rosemary leaves on Pilar Ternera’s bed when the shot rang out. Aureliano José had been destined to find with her the happiness that Amaranta had denied him, to have seven children, and to die in her arms of old age, but the bullet that entered his back and shattered his chest had been directed by a wrong interpretation of the cards. – Gabriel Garcia Marquez • He asked <…> Rosemary, why do you love books so much? And I said, Well, I don’t know <…> I suppose I love them because they’re quiet, and I can take them to the park. – Robin Sloan • He will spit you and roast you with rosemary, and we will all sample your flesh tonight. Tomorrow you will be shat out into the snow. Your diplomacy is bold and edgy, sir. – Kevin Hearne • I do love old horror, everytime I watch Rosemary’s Baby the performances just get richer and richer and more multi-layered, and I see images that are just so politically outrageous. I love it all. – Robert Englund • I felt trapped and fabricated in the fifties living up to other people’s expectations. – Rosemary Clooney • I like the Polanski stuff more than anything else. Rosemary’s Baby is still one of my favorite movies of all time. The idea of her being impregnated with the devil is just so frightening. – Dylan McDermott • I like to take mustard baths. I combine 4 lbs Epsom salts, 3 oz mustard powder, 12 oz powdered milk, and 1/2 cup baking soda, add in 12 drops each of rosemary and eucalyptus essential oils, then whisk it and pour 1/4 cup of the mix into the tub while warm water is running. – Natalie Coughlin • I plant rosemary all over the garden, so pleasant is it to know that at every few steps one may draw the kindly branchlets through one’s hand, and have the enjoyment of their incomparable incense; and I grow it against walls, so that the sun may draw out its inexhaustible sweetness to greet me as I pass. – Gertrude Jekyll • I put on the Hank Williams and the Patsy Cline and the Rosemary Clooney on vinyl – I’m not trying to be some cool indie-rock person, I just love the way it sounds – and throw on a T-shirt and jeans. In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans. – Kelly Clarkson • I try to do nothing. I drink rosemary when I have a lot of work to do. People take coffee, they take speed, whatever. I take rosemary. – Agnes Varda • If President Nixon’s secretary, Rosemary Woods, had been Moses’ secretary, there would only be eight commandments. – Art Buchwald • I’ll keep working as long as I live because singing has taken on the feeling of joy that I had when I started, when my only responsibility was to sing well. – Rosemary Clooney • I’m hooked on Polanski’s films, his psychological thrillers. I love ‘Rosemary’s Baby,’ I love ‘Repulsion.’ – Vera Farmiga • In our everyday garden grow the rosemary, juniper, ferns and plane trees, perfectly tangible and visible. For these plants that have an illusory relationship with us, which in no way alters their existentiality, we are merely an event, an accident, and our presence, which seems so solid, laden with gravity, is to them no more than a momentary void in motion through the air. Reality is a quality that belongs to them, and we can exercise no rights over it. – Leo Lionni • It had been three weeks, four days and twelve hours since I’d seen her. Since she’d torn my heart out. If I had been drinking, I’d blame it on the alcohol. It had to be an illusion, a desperate one. But I hadn’t been drinking. Not a drop. There was no mistaking Blaire. It was her. She was actually here. Blaire was back in Rosemary. She was at my house. – Abbi Glines • I’ve always been a huge fan of ‘The Shining,’ and ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ is one of my favorite films of all time. – Mary Elizabeth Winstead • My all-time favorite skin cream is from Poland. Its called Eva Natura with Polish herbs, including rosemary. It smells wonderful and is soothing and comforting. – Dagmara Dominczyk • My company is called Ciné-Tamaris, which is rosemary. That’s my speed. Hot water and herb. – Agnes Varda • My wife and I use a lot of garlic and rosemary with roast lamb. It has to be New Zealand lamb. The domestic variety is too gamy, in my experience. – Alfred Molina • Now you can leave home at any time you like.Your mother comes down and finds a picture of the Eiffel Tower on her plate. And she says, ‘Oh! Rosemary’s gone to Paris. No wonder the bathroom was so tidy.’ And nobody minds. But in my day, to go abroad with all those wicked Frenchmen, what would become of them? So no-one ever went anywhere. – Quentin Crisp • Personally I like the slow burn; I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. When I think about the movies that were most effective on me as a viewer I think of the original Haunting and the Exorcist, Rosemary’s Baby, the Sixth Sense, the Others. These movies are not over the top at all, they are movies that rely on good story telling, good acting, good premise, good exposition and I want to stay true to that in future projects. – Oren Peli • Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse had signed a lease on a five-room apartment in a geometric white house on First Avenue when they received word, from a woman named Mrs. Cortez, that a four-room apartment in the Bramford had become available. – Ira Levin • Rosemary bubbled with delight at the trunks. Her naivete responded whole-heartedly to the expensive simplicity of the Divers, unaware of its complexity and its lack of innocence, unaware that it was all a selection of quality rather than quantity from the run of the world’s bazaar; and that the simplicity of behavior also, the nursery-like peace and good will, the emphasis on the simpler virtues, was part of a desperate bargain with the gods and had been attained through struggles she could not have guessed at. – F. Scott Fitzgerald • Rosemary felt that this swim would become the typical one of her life, the one that would always pop up in her memory at the mention of swimming. – F. Scott Fitzgerald • Rosemary Rodriguez directed on Rescue Me for us, and I love her. She’s fantastic with actresses and she’s got a great sense of humor. That was a huge thing for me. – Denis Leary • She felt a little betrayed and sad, but presently a moving object came into sight. It was a huge horse-chestnut tree in full bloom bound for the Champs Elysees, strapped now into a long truck and simply shaking with laughter – like a lovely person in an undignified position yet confident none the less of being lovely. Looking at it with fascination, Rosemary identified herself with it, and laughed cheerfully with it, and everything all at once seemed gorgeous. – F. Scott Fitzgerald • She wished she had a little yellow house of her own, with a flower box full of real flowers and herbs – pansies and rosemary – and a sweet lover who would swing dance with her in the evenings and cook pasta and read poetry aloud. – Francesca Lia Block • So it’s Rosemary Clooney – Rosemary? Rosemary Clooney, right? The singer? Yes. Clooney, doing, singing, “I’ve Grown Accustomed To Your Face,” which is, you know, really a love song, but what we see on stage is we see one puppet that’s got a ridiculous blonde wig on and she looks ridiculous, and next to her is a head that’s just a piece of fabric with a pretty face on it. – Brian Henson • The best advice I got from my aunt, the great singer Rosemary Clooney, and from my dad, who was a game show host and news anchor, was: don’t wake up at seventy years old sighing over what you should have tried. Just do it, be willing to fail, and at least you gave it a shot. That’s echoed for me all through the last few years. – George Clooney • The scent organ was playing a delightfully refreshing Herbal Capriccio – rippling arpeggios of thyme and lavender, of rosemary, basil, myrtle, tarragon; a series of daring modulations through the spice keys into ambergris; and a slow return through sandalwood, camphor, cedar and newmown hay (with occasional subtle touches of discord – a whiff of kidney pudding, the faintest suspicion of pig’s dung) back to the simple aromatics with which the piece began. The final blast of thyme died away; there was a round of applause; the lights went up. – Aldous Huxley • There are some things, after all, that Sally Owens knows for certain: Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Add pepper to your mashed potatoes. Plant roses and lavender, for luck. Fall in love whenever you can. – Alice Hoffman • There’s rosemary and rue. These keep Seeming and savor all the winter long. Grace and remembrance be to you. – William Shakespeare • There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember. – William Shakespeare • There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray you, love, remember: and there is pansies, that’s for thoughts. There’s fennel for you, and columbines: — there ‘s rue for you; and here’s some for me: — we may call it, herb of grace o’Sundays: — you may wear your rue with a difference. — There’s a daisy: — I would give you some violets; but they withered all, when my father died: — They say, he made a good end. – William Shakespeare • With Rodham, for instance, it has to work on an emotional level. It has to work on a character level. If it’s only “Look, it has famous people,” then it’s a wax museum come to life and that’s really boring. It’s sort of like what they say about science fiction and horror where the really good ones, if you remove that element of it, it still has to work. That’s the reason The Shining works or Rosemary’s Baby or Blade Runner. – James Ponsoldt

Review: 'Masaryk' One of the Classiest Czech Productions in Years

In its opening scenes, Julian Ševčík’s new film Masaryk details the much-loved titular character (played by top Czech actor Karel Roden) snorting coke and screwing supermodel Eva Herzigová, who portrays unspecified 1930s actress-turned-mistress to the Czech diplomat.

We know from the start: this may not be a cautious, respectful biography of the storied Czech figure, one of the most prominent and mysterious in the young country’s history.

While blandly titled A Prominent Patient for foreign audiences who may not be familiar with the lead character (including those at the recent Berlinale, where the film received a scathing review from Variety’s Jay Weissberg), the titular Masaryk has a double-meaning: it refers to both Roden’s Jan Masaryk and his father, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, whose presence looms over both the film and it’s lead character like an albatross.

T. G. Masaryk was the first president of the newly-formed Czechoslovakia in the years following WWI, and one of the most beloved figures in all Czech history: in a popular 2005 poll of The Greatest Czechs, he came in second only to King Charles IV.

His only surviving son Jan Masaryk (brother Herbert died of typhus during WWI), who served as the Foreign Secretary for the Czech government in exile during WWII and was murdered by communists in 1948, came in at number 50. During Jan’s life, as told in this new movie, he seemed to struggle with his role in his country's fate in the years leading up to WWII.

Director Ševčík’s film, which he co-wrote with Petr Kolečko and Alex Koenigsmark, deals mostly with the late-1930s events leading up to the Munich Agreement and its aftermath, in which Europe’s leaders handed over most of the Czech lands to Nazi Germany without putting up a fight.

But as Roden’s Jan Masaryk scrambles around London to garner support for his country from dignitaries that include Lord Halifax (Dermot Crowley) and Neville Chamberlain (Paul Nicholas), we know all too well where this will lead. Eventually, even his own president and his father’s successor, Edvard Beneš (solemnly played by Oldřich Kaiser), fails him.

These events, which take up roughly half of the film, are related via flashback; a peculiar framing device has a suicidal Masaryk checking in to a New Jersey psychiatric ward while in the US following the Munich Agreement, and relating his woes to a German-immigrant doctor (Hanns Zischler).

These scenes, which take up an usually large amount of screentime for a framing device, are peculiar because in a film of otherwise such historical import, they appear to be wholly invented. They seemed to drive Weissberg over the edge, as he states that scribe Kolečko’s ‘alternative interpretation of history’ would “make Sean Spicer proud.”

But here’s the thing: truth or total fiction, they’re the best scenes in the movie. The script’s stark tearing-down of Masaryk’s mental fabric gives us an unusual and most-welcome window to the character, and an exploration of the man himself rather than the circumstances that came to define his life.

Rather than the familiar The relationship between Masaryk and his doctor comes to define the film, giving us a picture not about Masaryk’s struggle to save Czechoslovakia but about his struggle to repair himself as the states as war rages in Europe.

Zischler, an accomplished German actor who featured in Spielberg’s Munich, is excellent as the doctor, an initially stern man who comes to earn his patient’s trust and respect. His story, too - as a German immigrant in the US on the eve of WWII - lends the film some unexpected gravitas.

But it’s Roden, no stranger to portraying Czech characters of great historical import (he even played T.G. Masaryk last year in the TV miniseries Zločin v Polné) who carries the movie. His deft portrayal of Jan Masaryk from Czechoslovakia to London to the shores of New Jersey, through two languages (even on Czech screens, the majority of the film in in English) and from strong-willed sanity to madness and back, is one of the actor’s finest accomplishments.

Less effective is Spanish actress Arly Jover as Marcia Davenport, the American writer Masaryk meets while in the US (the two were reportedly planning to marry at the time of his murder in 1948). To American ears, her scattershot New England accent is… a distraction, in an otherwise first-rate production.

Masaryk recreates late 1930s period detail, across two continents and multiple cities and locations, absolutely exquisitely - this modestly-budgeted feature puts many Hollywood films to shame. (Writing for Variety, Weissberg claims that location work in New Jersey and London “couldn’t look more Czech if it tried.” I wonder where he thinks those beach scenes were shot; perhaps his knowledge of the Bohemian landscape comes from Shakespeare.)

Other technical specs, including the elegant camerawork by Martin Strba (who also lensed Burning Bush for Agnieska Holland) and the sweeping score by Michał Lorenc and Kryštof Marek, are similarly first-rate. Only do a few late shots in New York City feel less than fully convincing.

Masaryk, which opens in the Czech Republic on March 9 after an awards-qualifying run at the end of last year, has been nominated for 14 Czech Lion awards.

Unless jurors choose to award the equally-exquisite (but predominantly foreign-produced) WWII drama Anthropoid, it ought to win many of them. This is one of the classiest Czech productions in years.

Eva Capricciosa is a sim I always make thicc af. She also gets amazing and thick curly hair and despite living in Sims-Europe 100% has a New Jersey accent.  For some reason she and Marcus Flex (proximity? Probably?) always get together and, of course, he cheats on her and then they have screaming fights and then makeout waaay too passionately in front of other people and makeup. Wash rinse repeat.  No matter what, she and Jade Rosa remain BFFs. In fact in different saves, I’ve probably seen those two hanging out more than their respective partners.
