Profound Quotes
I love the line in the deeply funny 1984 film American Dreamer where a drunk Jo Beth Williams says: "Wasn't it Nietzsche who said 'Was mich nicht umbringt macht mich stärke? Deep, huh?" Deep, indeed. Great film with J-B W., Tom Conti and Giancarlo Giannini--heaps of style. Bset in...- Alex Oviatt

Have been on a Benny Goodman binge lately. All good! His "Clarinade" is a lesson in virtuosity (as it was intended).- Alex Oviatt

Zooey Deschanel on SNl
Did anyone catch this a few weeks back? There was a great sketch with Jean Dujardin but the best bit, IMO, was a film noir send up where Zooey (looking the part!) finds herself in a fast-talking wise-cracking film noir--it is really fun! I couldn't find it on Youtube or I would have posted it!- Alex Oviatt

I just scored a pair of Peals for BB black patent evening pumps at my local Out of the Closet thrift store. Worn once. $7.75. One size bigger than the pair I bought twenty years ago so just about right! How could I resist?- Alex Oviatt

Barflys, what kind of atmosphere do you prefer?
I like all sorts of atmospheres but one of the biggest things for me is what kind--if any--of music is playing. I was recently in the bar of a celebrity chef's restaurant in Las Vegas. Despite all of that, it was actually a beautiful room--great decor, fantastic bartender, wonderful choice of...- Alex Oviatt

Old fashioned names new again....
I love the old names of the virtues--Faith, Hope (Lange!), Charity, etc. Not so sure about Temperance (although I love Prudence!). My own forebear was named Comfort--not such a bad name, really....- Alex Oviatt

Shaving, blood and white dress shirts
Been there--in my case the only fancy shave I ever got--Trumper's in Curzon St. Sweeney Todd of Mayfair. Good thing the girl I was going on to meet had a sense of humor. Impressed, really, that a Yank could find the best barber in town and still come away bloody.... The shirt was a goner.- Alex Oviatt
