July 20, 2011

"I asked other people, but they were all busy"--The Trip

"It looks like a place where they'd film a Miss Marple"--ibid.


    Dreamed of trying to explain Tom Swiftie jokes to Moira; mentioning that Elmore Leonard never uses adverbs (which is true).


    Moira and I went to see Michael Winterbottom's The Trip at the Cumberland, with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon improvising their way through a tour of inns in northern England.  Lots of funny impersonations! (Too bad that the cinema's air conditioning made me sleepy.)


    Dinner was salmon.


    Went to a Classical Music Meetup at the Mad Bean Cafe.  The letter was U and the subject was uncompleted works.
