Dave & McCain's cancelled appearance

"The road to the White House runs through me."

---David Letterman, 9/24/08

Blue moon

Today's new moon in Virgo is the second one in the month, and is therefore what is known as a blue moon.  Fairly rare, hence the expression 'once in a blue moon,' meaning it's 'rarely recurring' as the OED has it (though they don't explain further).

Anyway, it's a time for a fresh start, a new day, or as my astrologer Michael Lutin says, a "new movie is about to begin..."

My beloved Netflix, having been informed that this film had been mailed back on Friday last and still not arrived at their facility, promptly reported the disc as missing, and sent the following message:

We are sorry to hear that Charlie Bartlett was lost in the mail.

Must say, especially given the eccentric nature of the film (quite enjoyable, btw), this gave me the best laugh of the day.
