On Saturday I went over to M4ddie's and experimented with tomato bisque recipes. Then yesterday I finally worked on music stuff all day, then put on pants around 10 pm to have some beers with a friend who's in town. That's how Sunday is done, yo.

I want to hear NY Groove real bad now.
And I agree - I am much more content with warm slush than the freezingness, at least for now. And while winter is getting old, I would rather all this winter than a similar amount of summer.

A great film...period. Lon Chaney heads a group of three thieves/carnival performers as they masquerade as an old woman, a man, and a baby in a pet shop where they sell birds that talk only by ventriloquism. Once the owners get home they see the birds no longer talk and the thieves are invited into their opulent homes. Tod Browning, the director of Dracula, does a marvelous job with this film. There are scenes that are just fantastic, the best of which for me is the courtroom scene. Browning gets a lot of help, however, by some real good performances. Chaney turns in a complex performance of a ventriloquist in love, yet evil, yet with some slight conscience. The scene in the courtroom where he deliberates helping Hector is acting at its best. Throw in a great job by Mae Busch and little Harry Earles as a cigar-smoking midget disguised as a baby. The silent film is a lost art only in that we no longer view it, talk about it, review it like it should. This film and the performances within should be seen not heard.

It was the central idea of a 1954 Bugs Bunny cartoon called ''Baby Buggy Bunny,'' directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese. Remember the burly, barrel-chested ex-con Finster, shaving and smoking a cigar while hiding out in Bugs' rabbit hole till Bugs got hip? Some online posters have cried plagiarism, but before you go yelling at Little Man director Keenen Ivory Wayans and his younger-brother cowriters Marlon and Shawn, remember, they freely cop to cribbing the idea. Plus, this concept was a golden oldie way before the Bugs Bunny version. It goes back at least to the 1925 Tod Browning silent movie The Unholy Three, wherein a children-hating little man poses as a baby to steal from the wealthy. (The film got remade in sound in 1930). The same conceit also shows up in a 1939 Little Rascals short called ''Tiny Troubles,'' in which a cowlicked, squeaky-voiced Alfalfa trades in his crying little brother for another infant who turns out to be a little man up to no good.
Didn't I mention the Little Rascals short the other night?

This is sort of weird, though, because each season is by definition three months. I expect it to be cold/snowy from the beginning of December to the end of February. Why should February be exempt?
What gets me, though, is when it's still cold in mid-to-late March. I think it snowed on my birthday once.

I ordered The Hipster by name and it didn't feel good to do so.

Courtney and I ate there. Her opinion was that it was actually the worst pizza she'd ever eaten.
It was bad enough that we went and ate a second lunch at Noodles & Co., which has yet to let anyone down.

yep. it's all red, white, and black. for an otherwise purely informative series nonfiction book about cavepeople, it's remarkably arty!

It would be wonderful to make the policy extremely convoluted and absurd. Though I guess technically it's not a policy but a clarification of a policy.

I did manage to take a shower and eat lunch.

Fixing to make a roast chicken, sweet potatoes, and collards, though.
