Google AdSense Payment

Dec 23, 2011

I got an email from Google today:

You’ve been issued a payment from Google AdSense

Hello,

Please note that we’ve recently issued a payment to you for your AdSense earnings. Your payment represents the total of your finalized earnings accumulated through the end of last month.

For more information, please log into your account and visit your Payments page. Depending on your form of payment, you may also be able to find a reference number there to track or pick up your payment.

Congratulations! We hope you receive your payment soon.

Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team

And it only took two years to reach the payment threshold!

Holiday Inn Revisited

Dec 18, 2011

A few days ago, I watched Holiday Inn again for about the twentieth time and noticed something new: the two female lead characters were Linda Mason and Lila Dixon, the Mason–Dixon Line!
I wondered what else I had missed and found at IMDb –

Blonde Marjorie Reynolds who plays Linda Mason is the brunette who later plays Peg Riley on TV in “The Life of Riley” opposite William Bendix.

For the “drunk” dance, Fred Astaire had two drinks of bourbon before the first take and one before each succeeding take. The seventh (last) take was used in the film.

Live and learn!

As I wrote back in January, it all seems to have come to Naught.
