Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

He was a really nice guy, but they had a hard time starting conversations with girls the first week.

Jason was such a sweetie. I didn't meet him until his second or third year, so I guess that he'd gotten his shit together. In fact, we were all very disappointed to discover that he had a girlfriend.

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

he was the best Bob Fosse who wasn't Fosse ever

That's the role I think of first. The AP article didn't mention anything except Jaws.

eta: I lied. There's this, followed by 5 paragraphs about Jaws.

He was nominated for an Oscar for best-supporting actor in 1971's "The French Connection" in which he played the police partner of Oscar winner Gene Hackman and for best-actor for 1979's "All That Jazz," the autobiographical Bob Fosse film.

Because books.

That's so sad about Roy Scheider--he was the best Bob Fosse who wasn't Fosse ever.

Aw, so much this. I adored him.

I have that movie memorized. I think I saw it in the theatre about 20 times, and the soundtrack was one of the 5 tapes we played over and over in the shop during my first summer stock summer.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

worlds colliding.

also, if your realtor asks - over drinks, because he's a neighbor, if your DH's company would pay for a structural engineering report, and you reply 'hell no!' that's ok, right? And when he responds with "oh, ok - well I'm sure I can convince a potential buyer they don't need it" AFTER you say that, it's nothing personal, just business, right? (really? they don't need it - it's a 200 year old house. not. going. anywhere.) I'm feeling pissy and surrounded by asshats needing anvils. so I will go to bed. And start fresh in the am.
