No dancing

I'm not up to square dancing tonight. I used an earlier burst of energy to get out the circular saw and cut up some pine shelving for storage in the garage, then after making my butch points for the day, fell asleep.

Last night I had excessor over and we watched Igby Goes Down, which is in rotation on the Sundance channel. It was terrific -- an updated Catcher in the Rye. excessor particularly identified with the fabulously snarky mother played by Susan Sarandon. The cast obviously wanted to be there ("At last! An intelligent script!"), with supporting cast including Claire Danes, Jeff Goldblum, Jared Harris, Amanda Peet, Ryan Phillippe, Cynthia Nixon, and Bill Pullman. The one off note for me was Jeff Goldblum as Igby's strangely interested wealthy godfather -- his performance was restrained (as if to imply barely-restrained aggression) but it didn't work well, possibly because he is too associated in my mind with his usual manic characterizations.
