TOD: Like several others, my most expensive books were probably my college textbooks. At least when adjusting for inflation, as some of my more recent technical books were in a similar price range.

We still have a Messina Hof souvenir wine glass back from a long-ago visit when my wife's aunt and uncle were at Texas A&M.

I might stay to watch the whole show this time.  We'll see how I feel in the moment.  I am ushering a couple of time in the next couple of weeks, so this isn't my last chance to see it. :)

Well, I didn't stay to watch it.

I just wasn't in the mood with having to miss the end of the first act and even more of the beginning of the second act because we had to restock the concessions counter.

So far I think I'm liking each week's film better than the next, but this week and last week's were mighty close.

That's great, Michael!

Next week also wraps up the Hitchcock festival at the Stanford Theatre, so I'm hoping to see Marnie and The Birds both for the first time - and maybe the other films in the double bills, we'll see. I'll probably see The Trouble With Harry since I'm not sure if I've seen it before, but I'll likely skip Vertigo as I've seen it pretty recently.

Of those four, I've only seen The Birds (but I barely remember it) and The Trouble With Harry, which I enjoyed.

Jrand, I've written about Artur Rodzinski here many, many times - one of my favorites and who I named the Creature Wasn't Nice character after.

I thought he was named after me!

Well, this is cool (at least, I think so)!  Here's an audio of:

Montego Glover singing "Rose's Turn" in Gypsy

She went on during Audra's vacation.

I thought of my most expensive book. A Joel Whitburn reference book of every song to ever make the Billboard Hot 100 from 1955-2005.

Gerrit Graham played Rodzinski. He was also of course in Phantom of the Paradise, where the Phantom was a guy named Winslow Leach (played by William Finley). Leach was named for theatre director Wilford Leach, mentor to Brian DePalma.
