"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last week, talking about a movie she'd made with Dev Patel, and if memory serves, Dame Maggie. Judi cracked my shit up, whilst reminding me totally of my own mother, which I never would have guessed. I'd loved to have seen them together.
Wacky thing I learned about Dame Dench the other day: She originated the role of Sally Bowles in Cabaret on the London Stage in 1968.
(Originated in London, that is, not in NYC where it first ran in '66.)

Maria, just in case you didn't see this in Bitches, I'm there, awake, and will be checking it from time to time. I am so very sorry for you loss.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

In entirely trivial news, I realized that I am one degree from Martin Freeman, and two from the Cumberbatch. (I went to drama school with a guy who was in Nightwatching with Freeman.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The BBC has rehearsal footage from that show - it is indeed awesome.

Snow day! You know what's better than an excellent dinner? An excellent dinner where you can sleep in the next day!

Lola was obsessed with Westminster last night! She kept climbing into the chair by the television and watching the action.
