I love it when things just work out. Yesterday morning I was wishing that I didn't have rehearsal so I could go to the public library and watch a screening of _[North by Northwest](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0053125)_. By late afternoon, one of my two cast members let me know he couldn't be at rehearsal (he's a trial lawyer, and a trial was going late into the evening) -- but in the meantime I decided that it would e better to get home and do gardening work before todays thunderstorms hit. I dug a new flowerbed (1 ft by 150 ft of hummingbird and butterfly flowers along a white wooden fence), weeded, mixed compost into a few more vegetable beds, and other odds and ends. After dark, I went inside, started some rice cooking and flicked through the channels. On TCM the funny "host" was just saying "and now, _North by Northwest_." Ahh... I really enjoy that movie. As the IMDB entry points out, I particularly enjoy [the dialogue](http://us.imdb.com/Quotes?0053125) that is banal today but shocking for the day.

Eve Kendall: _It's going to be a long night._
|
|
Roger Thornhill: _True._
|
|
Eve: _And I don't particularly like the book I've started._
|
|
Roger: _Ah._
|
|
Eve: _You know what I mean?_
|
|
Roger: _Ah, let me think. Yes, I know exactly what you mean._

Unfortunately for me, I'm much more like [Ruben Bolling's Louis](http://www.salon.com/comics/boll/1998/09/24boll.html) than Roger Thornhill in conversations like that. |
