I just learned of two more sad passings. Not that anyone passing away isn’t sad, but these two, while an inevitable part of our lives, still meant a lot:

Billy Wilder: Last of the legendary Old Hollywood directors, the man who directed Sunset Boulevard (from which we have the famous line “I’m ready for my close-up [...]

Part of the ‘blogging experience: I just changed the code for one of my Webrings yet again.

I forgot to mention last time: Diana Krall is also the musician featured in a car ad here in Canada. Makes sense, since she’s a Canadian herself…

Wow… I haven’t posted here in a week! Sorry about that… it’s been a hectic week of phone tag for me, trying to get everything ready for my apartment move at the end of May…

I heard on the radio today that Diana Krall is going to have another show in Montreal this month… at last [...]
