Tonight's picture was Ninotchka, an Ernst Lubitsch comedy from 1939 with a screenplay by Billy Wilder, among others. And a very witty screenplay it is too. Some hilarious one-liners, accentuated by some clever edits. Well-directed especially in the dialogue -- dialogue that would raise just a smirk is made much, much funnier by the use of composition and the timing in the delivery by the actors. Very enjoyable, manages to be slyly satiric and lighthearted at once and in equal measure.

Came home and did a whirlwind cleaning with G as the landlord was showing the apartment this evening. A couple and their two children came by. It's hard to imagine a growing family in a place this size.

I picked up a cheapie Xbox game today. I can't afford the new ones for a while although there are several I desire. But this is the original game of a series I started on the new, second chapter, a very enjoyable game called Splinter Cell. It's been out for a few years, so it is cheap. It's just as good as the second installment. Played that some, and a round of Links to unwind after a very busy 4-call day.

Now, once again, it's rather late and I am just going to bed now.
