National Tootsie Roll Day Falls The Day After Drew Barrymore's Birthday?🎂🥳

Every February 23rd

I didn't even know that 'Tootsie Roll Day' was a thing last year.

Born on February 22, 1975

But in hindsight I do think it was rather synchromystic that I wrote this post last year about seeing Bill Murray on Drew's TV show talking about his role in the movie 'Tootsie', watching it all from my Denver hotel room the day I had received a Tootsie Roll from Casa Bonita, considering that Drew's birthday is the day before 'Tootsie Roll Day' -

Also starring Bill Murray

I'd be telling a lie if I said that I like eating 'Tootsie Rolls' though:-)

How to Celebrate 2Twenty2 Day? 🥳🍹🍕🤔💭

Every February 22nd

In Australia we write the date the other way around to Americans (AKA the right way;-), so instead of 2Twenty2 Day, we might have to call it 22 Day 2 over here?-)

Every February 22nd

It's also Margarita Day today, and since I couldn't make it to Chicago's 2Twenty2 bar, I went to The Glen Hotel to celebrate my sister's belated birthday, and I had two Margaritas with my Margherita pizza:-)

At least over here on February 22nd it is summer, not winter like it is in America.

It's also 'National Chip Week', so when my sister didn't want her chips, I ate them:-) 

Maybe next Feb 22 I can spend it in Chicago?-)

Every February 22nd

Well, I guess that's something for me to think about at least:-)

How Can Timothée Chalamet Beat Ethan Hawke in the Best Actor Category?🎬🏆

I've seen all of the big pictures pretty much as far as the films go for the best actor/actress and film goes, and I can't see what all the hype about Timothée Chalamet in 'Marty Supreme' is all about, as there are about three other actors in that category that deserve the Oscar/BAFTA over him.

My pick though would be Ethan Hawke in 'Blue Moon'.

I probably wouldn't have gone to the cinema to see 'Blue Moon' if I hadn't have watched Hugh Jackman in the filmed musical stage production of 'Oklahoma!' on a DVD after seeing him in 'Song Sung Blue'.

Song Sung True Blue?🎤💘💙🔶🔷

And 'Blue Moon' tells the story of Lorenz Hart's struggles with alcoholism and mental health as he tries to save face during the opening of "Oklahoma!".

Oh, and with Jake Kotze's love of all things Jupiter, note that 'By Jupiter' is Lorenz Hart's last credited stage play from 1942:-)
