Never mix, never worry -- Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Today has been pretty slow at work, but there's really nothing going on with me worth posting about.

We did go out for a while last night to celebrate Bill finishing his radiation treatments. He has Hodgkins Lymphoma, so it's very curable. I think he had five weeks of radiation. Doesn't even seem like anything's wrong. Anyway, that was last night.

I just thought of a movie I don't think I've ever mentioned. You must rent "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Sandy Dennis and George Segal. Taylor and Dennis won 1966 Oscars for their roles in this film.

Anyway, George (Burton) and Martha (Taylor) are married and he's a professor at a university in a small New England town. Martha's father is the president of that university. Nick (Segal) and Honey (Dennis) are the new young couple in town and he's also a professor. The whole movie takes place at George & Martha's after a party for new faculty, which happened at Martha's father's. It's basically George & Martha drunkenly insulting each other and playing mind games with Nick and Honey, who are also getting increasingly drunk. There's a couple slow, rather boring parts, but there are great one-liners. One of the reasons I love Elizabeth Taylor so much...she is awesome in this movie. Most of my friends have thought it was kind of weird, but if you like dark humor and dramatic women, then you'll enjoy it...It's a classic anyway.

One of my favorite lines is when George offers Honey a drink and she says, "Ohhh...maybe just a little brandy. Never mix, never worry." Then George says, "Mmmmm....Martha, more rubbing alcohol??" To which she replies, "Surrre! You know me, never mix, never worry!!" Funny stuff...
