"Brilliantly original....  Where did you get the idea?"

"The United States."

--Knowing Me, Knowing You

    Dreamed of the line in The Professional "Bonnie and Clyde didn't work alone.  Thelma and Louise didn't work alone.  And they were the best!"; a trade film for salesmen telling them to be extra smart.

    Baked whole wheat bread, but I forgot to add the yeast! (I baked it again and remembered the yeast this time.)

    The forecast was predicting colder weather, but it's still quite warm. (I opened my window for the first time this year.)

    Dinner was steak.

    Saw the DVD of the first episode of Playing Shakespeare, a show with not yet famous Royal Shakespeare Company actors like Ben Kingsley and Patrick Stewart discussing how to enact Shakespeare's plays.  Fascinating.

    We also saw the DVD of the first episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You, with Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge, the world's worst talk show host.  Hilarious!

    Then I saw the DVD of the concert movie Mad Dogs and Englishmen, depicting Joe Cocker's famous 1970 tour.
