A look at how I've been diverting myself lately.
Books
READ: Macbeth by William Shakespeare, ed. by Kenneth Muir [Kito's favorite Shakespeare play, owing to the fierceness of Lady M (he's always had a soft spot for ball busters)].
Plays
SAW: Annie Get Your Gun (Ravinia Festival).
Movies
SAW: 8 1/2.
THIS WEEK'S MOVIE NIGHT PICKS:
MINE: The Book of Eli [blame Cliff Doerksen's highly entertaining review, which calls the film a "satisfying piece of crap"].
KITO'S: The Ghost Writer.
NEXT WEEK'S THEME: Dogs.
Current Interests
Chicago, pop music, Emma Thompson, books, art, fashion, James Franco, the gays, free speech.
Fool's Four
MY NEW DOG LUCY'S FAVORITE THINGS TO CHEW ON:
1. My fingers.
2. A doorstop in the living room.
3. Anything from the wastepaper basket in the office--especially Post-It notes.
4. My hair.
Foolish Flashbacks
ONE YEAR AGO: "Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain. Why is he climbing a mountain?"
FOUR YEARS AGO: "During 'Rose's Turn' Patti LuPone was like a musical comedy King Lear."
Glitter
For Lucy.

My review of Provision Theatre Company's Godspell is in this week's Time Out Chicago.
