Basil Rathbone yay

TCM is in the midst of a Basil Rathbone marathon. I wish I'd caught more of it--and so does my inner ten-year-old who had a massive crush on Rathbone back in the pre-video days when I had to comb the TV Guide for Rathbone films (and record the audio on cassette tape!).

This weekend I've fiddled with a potential new opening for the Jo book, read Georgette Heyer and some of Larry McMurtry's book called Books, watched The Lives of Others (fantastic), and ended up watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show (which I've seen many times) on late-night cable...
