– On Saturday night I went to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (now maybe Our Girl will tell me what she thought of it!), and last night I watched Joel McCrea in Jacques Tourneur’s Stars in My Crown–ideal Easter fare for a small-town boy who loves Westerns.
– Continuing on my Barbara Pym kick, I’m now reading An Unsuitable Attachment, whose characters include Faustina, one of my all-time favorite fictional cats.
– Now playing on iTunes: Ralph Towner’s “Icarus,” recorded by Towner and Gary Burton on Matchbook, one of the most beautiful duo albums ever made. Vibraharp and acoustic twelve-string guitar may sound like an odd match on paper, but on this CD they go together like strawberries and champagne. (Lots of other people think so, too, as you’ll find out when you click on the link and see how much a second-hand copy costs.)
UPDATE: I’d forgotten that OGIC already wrote about Eternal Sunshine.
What she said.
