Another Random Saturday Night
10:29pm
Activity: Working on an NIH R01 grant.
Listening: To Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Nikolaus Harnoncourt's stunning Beethoven Piano Concertos 1-5.
Drinking: Sherry, specifically Fernando de Castillo's Palo Cortado. Maybe I'll have a snifter of Poir William on the backporch before turning in.
Later on: Don't know. I might start Julia Child's My Life in France or Thomas Ricks's Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq. I might also watch an episode or two from my new DVD of the first season of HBO's Rome.
Whimsical notion of the moment: Wouldn't it be great if they re-made I, Claudius using modern digital filming and sound and the stunning sets from HBO's Rome? Philip Seymour Hoffman would be a perfect choice for Claudius.
Craving: Foie gras and .... Chicken McNuggets.
