January 25, 2003

Didn't get to sleep till almost 05:00!

Baked multigrain bread overnight.

Saw Babes in Arms at a Cinematheque matinee.  It's pretty fun if you enjoy that MGM "Let's put on a show!" silliness.  If Mickey Ronney were around today (wait, he is around!) they'd put him on Prozac.  Judy Garland (sigh) was enormously appealing, though they presented her like a puppy dog who just wants to be liked.  Odd that "My Funny Valentine" was removed from the Broadway score, and that "The Lady Is a Tramp" was reduced to one character's leitmotif.  The minstrel-show number was cut short by a sudden rainstorm. (The gods frown on racist entertainment.)

Dinner was McDonald's.

Rented the About a Boy DVD.  It was pretty cute.  Hugh Grant knows how to play that sort of role like the back of his hand.
