"How can I be overdrawn when I have all these checks left?"  James Thurber, from A Thurber Carnival, the cast album of which is now playing on Ye Olde iPode.

"Why didn't they repeal inhibition while they were at it?"

"So she said to him, why don't you get dressed and go to pieces like a man?"

"She's always living in the past, and now she wants to get a divorce in the Virgin Islands."

"Well, if I called the wrong number why did you answer the phone?"

He went into the bedroom, where his wife was sleeping.  "There's a unicorn in the garden," he said.

She opened one unfriendly eye and said, "The unicorn is a mythical beast."

I used to like the show: MY WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT, which was based on Thurber, I believe.

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. It is a lovely morning, so I am going outside! Could be the last chance for a few months.

Good morning, all!  There's been no word whatsoever from the California office, and I am assuming that we have indeed lost the lease and returned to Square One.  This has been depressing me since last Thursday when everything concerning the lease suddenly went from fact to question, and I think it's time for me to look for other work, much as I like my colleagues. I don't know what I'll find, since no one's beating down my door at the moment, but all of us in this office angst deserve better treatment than we're getting.

This morning I have more notes to transcribe and some adjustments to continue in my reports.  After that, the NYPL.

TOD:
   BEST: The Taming of the Shrew, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
   WORST: Cleopatra, Boom

I just recently cited STRAIGHT TIME as one of the more underrated films of its decade; Hoffman's performance is exceptional.

TOD:
Best:  WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?, THE MIRROR CRACK'D, NATIONAL VELVET, SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH (TV), SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER, RAINTREE COUNTY.
Worst: ASH WEDNESDAY, X, Y AND ZEE, BOOM.
Middle ground:  SECRET CEREMONY and A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.

Thank you one and all for the good vibes regarding my back. Unfortunately, it continues to get worse, not better.
