Today has been a day off for Heather, so we went to town and got rid of some of the expendable cash that we have piled up in the corners of our room. I bought The Heart of Saturday Night (I know, so soon after the last Tom Waits album I bought. But it's probably best to take advantage of the Zavvi sale before they sort their shit out and start selling things at hiked prices again), and Arsenic and Old Lace, which is one damn crazy film. It's lucky I'd heard it was good, and it's directed by Frank Capra, because if I saw the box without knowing what it was I never would have bought it. It has a really silly picture of Cary Grant running with the broad who plays his wife on his shoulder in a fireman's lift, and the title is pretty cheesy sounding. Cary Grant seems to be pretty much playing a straight comedy character, which is odd because he usually plays a smartass/hunk character, but it's full of him pulling stupid faces and falling over stuff. It also has Peter Lorre in it also, who is one of my favourite character actors. Here's a good bit:
Tomorrow we're planning to dress up, take pictures, dress normal, go to Broughty Ferry, take pictures, go to Dobbies and then come home.
The title of the blog tonight is what Heather thought the lyrics were for this:
Where it says "Mr Sheen shines umpteen things clean", she thought it was "Mr Sheen shine sheen shine sheen sheen!"
That's for all for this eve, cheerio!
