Saw two movies today which I had not seen before: Caddyshack and (the original) Death At a Funeral. I actually didn't see what all the fuss was about Caddyshack. Death at a Funeral was pretty good, though.
And good news! I sold a copy of La Commedia Inglese, so that makes me almost like a real playwright. Though I suppose the thing still was never performed... well, John Davidson, whose work is also in the book, I think never had his plays performed either. And Donatien de Sade never had his plays performed either, though I think in that case it was because his plays were basically the real-life version of that Aristocrats joke, but in any event. Sold a copy of my play.
At this point I have published 10 books, and 4 of them are plays -- more than any other genre. So that seems to be something in which I'm interested.
I also got an oil painting kit and have been practicing with it. I've made two paintings so far, both of which are as yet too wet to be able to scan, but I did get a snapshot of one in progress:
That is a portrait of Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, which I worked out based on an engraving of him. I took the colors from that FMR magazine cover you see to one side.

That's a great painting, too!
