Patricia Neal

Never on my top list, but whenever I see her in a film, I always loved her. Hud, Day the Earth Stood Still (I loathe The Fountainhead, UGH).

Helluva life and what a survivor she was. RIP.

Yet another fine actress who I thought previously had died and who I remember thinking at the time was already dead.

She also pitched good "Maxwell House," an odd gig for a stroke survivor.

A Face in the Crowd and Hud. Loved those two movies of hers.

He was also a really fine documentary producer/maker.

He also produced the Opening Ceremony of the 1984 Summer Olympics. Which totally ruled.

Which is related to how I found out about his death. He was a friend of Dr. Bartner (and therefore the Trojan Marching Band)

Senator Ted Stevens of "series of tubes" fame.

You know, I never quite understood the level of ridicule leveled at him for that. Long before he ever said that, the term "pipe" was used to refer to one's connection to an ISP. The term "tunneling" is a technical term referring to a specific method of connecting between two devices on a network. As an analogy, a "series of tubes" is not a horrible one. I seriously doubt he literally thought it was tubes.

Not that there weren't other things said in that speech that were utterly wrong about how the internet works, and he clearly demonstrated that, even granting the tube analogy, he had no clue how data might flow through those hypothetical tubes. I've just always been surprised that "series of tubes" was what got latched onto, as opposed to, say, "an internet".

Something in the bathroom

At least it smells like it.
