"To think that dolled-up poodle-faker used to be one of us!"--Triumph of the Rat

Dreamed of looking for Tevye and His Daughters, the collection of Sholom Aleichem stories that the musical Fiddler on the Roof was based on; trying to DVDcap the shot in Horse Feathers where Harpo Marx orders a scotch by doing a Scottish dance; finding that I'd put on a second sweater over my shirt!

Saw the silent British movie Triumph of the Rat at the Cinematheque.  It starred Ivor Novello as a Paris gangster who gets accepted into high society, then loses everything. (The title's ironic.) Another movie about how nasty Parisians can be.

Dinner was roast chicken.

Saw the DVD of the pilot episode of the ca. 1980-set high school comedy Freaks and Geeks.  It's pretty believable.

On Six Feet Under the family went to see an art show where Claire had a piece for sale.
