Well, the quarterback from my alma mater is going to be in the Superbowl, and I saw a great film yesterday, and watched a very good film last night - A Picture of Dorian Gray. It won best cinematography Oscar for that year, and it is in wonderful black and white with huge attention to set details. Angela Lansbury was fabulous, and George Saunders his usual coniving self, this time as a kind of Oscar Wilde mouthpiece, but sinister instead of light and witty. Peter Lawford played the handsome swain who loves the heroine, as he did in Little Women around the same time. I'm glad I bought the movie for $5. Well worth it. Not as good as Gaslight or Rebecca, but of that era and type of film.
It's another cool, crisp sunny day, and I'm thinking of planting all the narcissus bulbs that are in the house in the front garden. I hope I have strength enough to dig them in. I know it will feel magical to imagine them next year popping up like a surprise. Bulbs are fun.
And I must dig out another leftover from the freezer. We've sworn to only eat leftovers until the freezer is less packed. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it.
