So that plant taking up much of Ciwt's bureau top was supposed to start drying out, turning brown and dying some time after its Christmas bloom. 

Now with the next Christmas a few months away (really!), looks like it will still be dark hardy green and demanding its space in her bedroom.  

Oh Ya, Fame --- Day 15/275

Walk: Hood, Vogue Theater (Late Fame)

Distance: 4.5 miles

Late Fame

So, over the years Ciwt has had a way of sort of ignoring Willem Dafoe.  She would note his presence in a movie - always eye-catching because of his chiseled features - and go on to pay attention to the movie's story or other actors.  Then a decade or so ago, when Dafoe was given prominent roles in movies like The Sunshine Project and The Lighthouse, she began noticing what a remarkable actor he is.  And, yesterday, in his wise, endearing, seamless performance in Late Fame she was mesmerized.  How, in a movie so quiet and subtle, did Dafoe's every half smile or eye movement stand out, convey so much, be the beating heart of the movie?  You'll have a chance to answer that - and see Dafoe's well deserved personal late fame for yourselves  - when Late Fame begins streaming on October 5.
