I think we have ourselves a leading man for the Gentlemen Prefer Wigs movie! Now I just need to find him a Rich Lady. There are basically two candidates at this point -- one isn't really an actress but she's someone I know who looks suitable, and knows how to do a New England accent (which is close to an 18th century British accent.) The other is an actress.
I'd like to get the movie done fast though, since I got news that starting next month I am on notice for Jury Duty. This initially sounded all around unpleasant despite hourly pay, but then one of my friends directed me to The Fully Informed Jury Association and after reading up the info there I'm a bit more stoked about it -- knowing that I might be the only one there who knows the full rights of the jury makes me feel I could be more useful. Still they might not use me, especially since I had to point out two potential problems: first off, I don't have reliable transportation of my own, and their per-mileage compensation isn't going to match what I would have to pay for bus fare (I'd be getting something like 75 while actually paying $2.00 each day.) Next, there is the fact that I am a fortune teller, and even if other people don't believe in it I do, and it has a possibility to influence me if I should get any omens about what's going on in the case. So even I'm aware that could be off-putting to them. Also, FIJA warns that letting on you know about FIJA often causes them to not want you as well -- knowing you don't have to listen to their instructions is another thing they seem to hate!
Meanwhile, I am still trying to solve the mystery of the origin of Four Thieves Vinegar, and also find out more about a supposed book generally called "Fouch's Archives of the Police" and whether or not it really exists, for that Sweeney Todd project of mine.

Good luck with everything- and rock the Jury Duty! Sounds like you are going in seriously armed.
Being all Commonwealthy and all.
WOO! for leading man!
