    What's the meaning behind your Avatar ?

    I always have a hatted picture of some iconic person, with matching quote under my signature--usually lyrics from a song the person in the avatar made famous, if it is of a musician, as it usually is. Right now it is a very young, cap-wearing Glenn Miller, but had been Elvis Costello, Artie...

    Aftershave : That nostalgic true masculine smell!

    Don't know if there are any loungers out Pasadena way, but a great new shop opened at Raymend and Green (in the Stats building) that sells a wonderful range of shaving goods--Trumpers, Penhaligon's, D.R. Harris, etc. as well as razors, etc. Great stuff. It is called the Old Town Shaving...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I just (re) watched the fabulous Moonlighting episode in which David and Maddie both have dream sequences--in black and white-- where they become the characters in a film noir murder mystery involving a big band canary and a man with a horn. GREAT stuff. Even Orson Welles thought so, and it...

    What are you listening to?

    I have been listening to a lot of X lately. Ain't Love Grand's Burning House of Love is a great song--just shows that punk can be good and commercial, too.

    Film Noir Favorites

    So many great ones--I love Double Indemnity, Laura, DOA, Dark Passage--I count Sunset Blvd and Gilda as Film Noir, too. I love neo-noir--not spoofs of film noir, but latter day offerings like Choose Me and even that great French classic Diva..... Men in hats, wet, dark streets, stylish...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I had a refreshing Campari and soda--one of my favorite summer drinks. It reminds me of several things (a much-loved aunt, Venice at dusk, Negronis, etc.) but especially of Richard deVere's line in To the Manor Born in which he talks about the established London business men--the "city"--as a...
