I just found out that our leading man will be playing in Titus Andronicus at BardFest next month.

I think he said he is playing Marcus' boyfriend....but I'm not sure who that would be.

Costco has some grapes that the packaging says “taste like cotton candy.” My son was excited about this so I bought a container, knowing he’d be disappointed when they were merely sweet and not like cotton candy.


The joke’s on me. The taste exactly like cotton candy!

I know. Right!!??  The first time I had some, I was gobsmacked.

They never keep them long enough for me to find them after I hear they have them.

That gal who won/has won all these state fair blue ribbons has just come out with a cookbook.

She AND the cookbook are gay?

So...I spent my afternoon with Max subchannel on Amazon Prime.

And I stopped watching "John Adams" when the system stalled and said something went wrong.

So, I got out of it and surfed other channels.

And then I got back in to just see what might be next for me.

And before I could decide on my next, post-"John Adams' viewing  (I have two episodes left), I stumbled onto and into "Angels in America."

I watched all evening and have one episode left to watch.  I would have finished it except I, again, got the "something went wrong" notice and it wouldn't start up again.

I know I watched "Angels..." when it aired, and I know I bought it on Blu-ray when it first came out.

But I swear to you, it's like I'm seeing it for the very first time!

I remember the opening...and I know I remember how and where the last scene was filmed.

But, it seems I have no recollection of the story in between.  I didn't remember how extraordinary all the actors are, especially Al Pacino as Roy Cohn. 

I certainly didn't remember Patrick Wilson and Mary-Louise Parker!  And Emma Thompson Meryl Streep.  They are all wonderful.

Justin Kirk and Ben Shenkman and Jeffrey Wright are amazing.

I guess I just wasn't ready to absorb the story when I first watched it.  It has certainly registered with me this time!

It is now 20 minutes past midnight in Johnston SC.

It's Saturday, July 15th right this very minute.

And my bed is beckoning.

I’m watching William Richert’s “Success” on YouTube. Aka American Success Company, starring Jeff Bridges. This is the movie they made after Winter Kills filming was shut down due to going broke. The deal to make this movie financed the completion of Winter Kills. Which is weird because I don’t know how anyone made a dime from this movie.

I like Winter Kills quite a bit. Not so much The Great American Success Company.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Paul Desmond is currently playing the music of Simon and Garfunkel, a great album.

I think he said he is playing Marcus' boyfriend....but I'm not sure who that would be.

Hopefully, that production uses enough blood.  You just can't have enough blood in any production of Titus. ;)
