Well, dear readers, the facts are coming to light. We are now knowing the truth about The Errant and the Truant, some of whom are returning to by loyal Hainsies/Kimlets once again, thereby avoiding mass bitch-slapping by the skin of their collective errant and truant teeth. Here at haineshisway.com we get flustered if anything disturbs our close-knit family unit. We have a family unit here at haineshisway.com and when one or two of the unit goes missing we become a un, we are less complete as a unit. We simply must not abbreviate the unit, dear readers, because unit is such a short and stupid word as it is. So, let’s all post until the cows come home so we can once again be the most popular site on all the Internet.
Hairspray, with our very own Kerry Butler, has opened to rave reviews and should be playing until the cows come home. I shall be seeing it, hopefully sometime in October. Congratulations to the entire cast and creative team.
Last night I went to the Director’s Guild of America for a screening of Michael Apted’s 21 and 28 UP documentaries. I’ve not seen any of these before, and I missed the first two in the series, which were shown the other night, with Mr. Apted in attendance. For those who don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, Mr. Apted has been filming the same people since they were seven years of age – he does a new one of these every seven years. Luckily, even though I missed 7 and 14, they recap them very nicely throughout each of the ensuing chapters. It is fascinating, funny, touching, and in some cases brutal to watch these kids growing up. They are from various classes of society, and it’s a real microcosm of attitudes and personalities, all English, of course. I really want to go back tonight to see 35 and 42, but I’d already made plans. Hopefully, this entire series will find its way to DVD very soon.
What am I, Ebert and Roeper all of a sudden? Have I mentioned that it is important not to abbreviate the family unit?
Today I will be doing a Very Important Thing that will finally put closure to something I’ve wanted closed, and that is a good thing, dear readers. And then tonight I will be supping with Miss Cissy Wechter, eating delicious Orange Chicken at Yang Chow in Woodland Hills, and discussing our upcoming New York version of the Tourette’s Syndrome benefit. I’m just starting to make lists of performers, and I’m very excited about doing this in New York.
Well, why don’t we, as a family unit, click on the Unseemly Button below whilst singing a chorus of We Are Family or even better, Together, Wherever We Go.
I must say, it’s another overcast day here in Los Angeles, which I find a pleasant relief from the relentless heat of the past few days. That said, yesterday’s overcast day quickly gave way to brilliant sunshine and hot heat. Frankly, I’m ready for some cold heat myself. Don’t forget that tomorrow is our Unseemly Trivia Contest and also Donald should be along to tell us what his brand spanking new unseemly radio show’s theme is – whatever it is, it will be going up some time on Sunday, so be sure to tune in.
Well, Friday is always a day for short notes, following the endless Thursday notes (I suspect many of the errant and truant missed yesterday’s notes, so get yourselves over to the Unseemly Archive Button and read them now – I answered so many questions yesterday, and if I feel no one is interested in reading the answers then it’s not going to be worth the effort of doing Ask BK Day anymore – hence the reason I asked that particular question. For now, we’ll keep it going).
Our handy-dandy stat page did it again, didn’t count one day – that’s better than last month when it didn’t count three days, but still, that coupled with the low traffic of this week has taken away the amazing lead we had at the beginning of the month. I thought this month would handily trounce all others, given that first week’s stats. We were up over a hundred visits a day and the page view stats were up quite a bit, too. It has now evened itself out. We must not allow it to drop further – we must pull together and get these averages up, because we must be better than average, we must be the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the top of the heap – so, start spreadin’ the news, we are coming back and there will be no stopping us because we, we are family, and we are a family unit and we shall sit by the campfire and roast our wieners and marshmallows and we shall sing Michael, Row the Boat Ashore. What the hell am I talking about?
Well, dear readers, I must go do a Very Important Thing now, and I must also take the day, in fact I must carpe diem the day, I must get in my automobile and motor around the city and wave at the passersby as they pass by, I must do the things I do, I must be popular with the populace. Let’s all do our best to make this weekend the busiest we’ve had in ages here at haineshisway.com. That will show the stat page, won’t it? Today’s topic of discussion: Fads have come, fads have gone – what is the kookiest, craziest, ginchiest, grooviest fad you’ve either taken part in or viewed from afar? I’ll start: The Limbo was one of my favorites and I feel it is poised for a comeback. Pet Rocks always amused me from afar, but I never had one. I did, however, do the Twist and I was quite proficient at it. Your turn.
