Does everyone know what day it is?

It's CLAUDE RAINS DAY!

Went looking for Peter Ackroyd's book on Dickens; discovered that he also wrote books about London, Thomas More, King Arthur, Venice, and Shakespeare. So it looks like I need to read pretty much everything he ever wrote.

ETA: Oh, and also the Tudors. Yegads.

Hurray and hallelujah!

We get a Singin' in the Rain bigscreen encore presentation -- and it's COMING HERE! I get to go!! I was hoping the local theaters would learn something from the success of the first showing. I'm so thrilled!

And it's the night before Gene Kelly's 100 birthday, too. Yeah, I keep track of this stuff. :-) And there will be big doings on this page to celebrate, believe you me. Just keep watching this space . . .
