July 24, 2003

"'Well, now,' said Fudge, fixing Marietta with what he evidently imagined was a kind and fatherly look..."--Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Dreamed of the guitar music in Talk to Her; meeting the character actor Walter Brennan; the difficult childhood of humorist S.J. Perelman; being told that actors get all their information from trade papers; saying that I knew what the famous Variety magazine headline "Stix nix hix pix" meant. (It means "Rural audiences reject movies with rural caricatures.")

Went shopping.

Got the lawn mown.  Glad I got it done before it started raining.

Baked gingerbread.

Today's Mother's birthday so we went to the Swiss Chalet restaurant.  They have a birthday special there but she wanted nothing to do with it.

Sergei taught a cha cha class with the flick (including arm movements), change steps, and mambo points.

Went to the local karaoke.  I sang "Can't Help Falling in Love," "Every Breath You Take" and "The Green, Green Grass of Home."
