omg so tired after a full day. But anyway. So tonight Mister Nightdog and I watched The Iron Lady on one of the movie channels, and it was okay and Meryl Streep was amazing, and then we were channel-surfing and stopped on Turner Classic Movies for awhile because they were showing Wings, which is a silent 1927 film and the winner of the very first Academy Award (in 1929) for Best Picture. SO ANYWAY, we were watching, and there's a scene where the two heroes (Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen), who are WWI pilots, finally get to the front, and they meet a character called "Cadet White." And Mister Nightdog and I sat straight up, because WOW, this Cadet White had presence. And he was only on-screen for about five minutes! So I looked him up on IMDB, and LOL. The guy on the right? Yeah, that would be Cadet White. I can't believe I didn't recognize him, but then he was only 26 years old. :D :D :D

In other news, Mister Nightdog was watching one of those Warren Miller skiing movies today, and this was on the soundtrack. I think she sounds a bit like Joni Mitchell and Neko Case.
