3 September So, since it was Labor Day today, I figured that I had best see Independence Day. Which means that I am now two films behind on the movie review page. Which is such a pain. It's not so much that it's so hard to write them, but it's an enormous lot of work finding the links. "Just write them without the links", I hear you say. "I'm way too obsessive/compulsive" I reply. So you're just gonna have to wait. Hey, guys, will whoever is the 2300th hit PLEASE e-mail me?
God I need a haircut. I look like a dandelion again. But this play I'm doing takes place in the 1920's and I play James Joyce's wife, Nora, and if I was gonna cut my hair it would have to be in a bob, which doesn't suit me AT ALL, and Nora wasn't a flapper anyway, so that's all wrong, but I don't have time to grow it (2 years), as the show opens in two weeks, so I think I'd better just wear a hat or something, which means that I actually COULD cut my hair, but I think I'd best just wait until the show closes.
I was watching Storytellers on VH1, which is one of my favourite shows. The great thing about it is that you don't have to be entirely crazy about whoever's on it, it's still interesting. Sting was on this week, an excellent example. I like him okay, but I've never sought out his music. I know every song, of course, because I'm alive and on the planet earth and lived through the '80s. Anyway, Sting told a story about how he wrote one of his most famous songs. There were sunspots that day, and he was sitting with Trudy, and he told her "There's a little black spot on the sun today. That's my soul up there." And Trudy rolled her eyes and said "O, there he goes again, the King of Pain." I love that.
More TV: I was just watching Miss Marple, and at the very beginning, before any hint of a murder, a character said: "This is home. I really feel like I've come home. This is where I want to die, darling!" And I yelled at the TV: "No, no, NO!!! Don't you KNOW that you're in an episode of Miss Marple?! You've just signed your death warrant!!" I don't know, maybe I'm taking TV a little seriously.
