The Night


Husbandman and Teen Daughter left early this morning for a fun trip to California. They'll attend a wedding in beautiful Carmel. This is the night I will stay home with #1 son and 4 of his fellow sevvies. It's a birthday sleepover! Usually I have a fairly well honed lesson plan for offspring parties, but tonight I only have a video and pizza. Maybe I'll impose a 10:00 bed time.

I've never seen the Spinal Tap movie. Do you recommend it?

Spinal Tap has many funny and surprising bits. I don't think it's the best but it's darned good.
Also darned good, the book I just finished reading, Special Topics in Calamity Physics, by Marisha Pessl. I've done nothing but read this book all day. Please do the same, asap.

This is Spinal Tap, although I have to admit I have not seen it in a long time, is on my "Top 5 Best Movies of All Time" list. Along with Down by Law, The Sure Thing, and Grosse Point Blank. I realize that's only 4, but I'm exercising a certain moral flexibility -- if you know what I mean. Or perhaps it's just an unwillingness to commit to a final decision to that last (5th)one because it would mean excluding so many others.

Yeah, anythign with Cusack used to be so good. I still love him, but I miss the Say Anything, High Fidelity Cusack.

i watched about half of TAP last week before i crashed and it held up, i have to say. but waiting for guffman i love more.
i could see that 50 times.

The Philadelphia Story would probably take the number 5 slot on my list. We watch it every time it shows up on public television, which is remarkably frequently...that and the Thin Man movies.

Philadelphia Story's a good one.
I love it too.

tonight we're going to watch something called "Funny Ha Ha."

And I'm hoping to see Little Children in our bar/movie theater tomorrow.

you know what's a little sad? I was trying on a pair of pants at a store today and there was a tag attached to the pants with a teeny safety pin, and the safety pin was open, and it put a big scrape on my thigh. And it still really hurts.

Sorry to hear about the scrape.

Bob and I saw Michael McKean -- he of This is Spinal Tap, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, etc. -- at Zellerbach on Sunday night. He sang, among other things, Gimmee Some Money, from Tap. He said he would have sung Big Bottoms, but he didn't have enough base players with him.

Made reservations for a Paris apartment this morning. September 16 to October 2nd. Then spent much of the workday dreaming about France...

I'm delirious in finally getting TTax to accept my WAG return and (way more) that we have an apt in Le Marais for Sept/Oct woohee! Come visit on the futon!

i'm jazzed but jealous about your french trip.

he said "I don't do standup". He stands... mostly just talking about stuff, you know. He does satire. He read 2 or 3 pieces - one was by Thurber (what, a hundred years old) about a french phrase book that that had me in stitches. He played quite a few songs on his acoustic guitar that sounded like happy little folky things until you listened to the words.. Often he would stop in the middle of a song and launch into something. His wife (Annette O'Toole) came out near the end and they did a duet that was truly gruesome. She looks a lot like a friend of ours named Mara. In fact, Mara has that same sick sense of humor. I wonder... Anyway, we had a great time. It didn't hurt to have burgers-n-'tinis at the bar at Cafe Rouge, before.
