Well, dear readers, heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to work I go. Short notes today, because I forgot to do short notes yesterday. Therefore, since I know that many errant and truant dear readers missed one or both days of the weekend notes, there will be plenty for you to read and catch up on. Plus a brand spanking new radio show with our very own Mr. Donald Feltham.
I’ve been catching up on some of the DVD extras on some of the DVDs I’ve been buying. For example, I watched the Singin’ in the Rain documentary. It was perfectly nice, but not very interesting. It’s the kind of puff piece documentary that I find very annoying, and it seems to be the specialty of Mr. Peter Fitzgerald who made it. Then I watched one of several documentaries on the A Hard Day’s Night DVD. That one was splendid, about forty minutes long, and had tons of interesting little tidbits. It’s the kind of DVD documentary that I like. So, I’m anxiously looking forward to watching the others on the supplementary disc. I also watched a bit of Monsters, Inc. which looks pretty great.
I also watched a Biography on Charles Bronson, an actor I’m very fond of. It was their usual type of thing, but I liked it anyway. I spent all of yesterday relaxing and not doing much of anything – although I did write half a page of the new book and did finish off one of the new Nudie songs I’d been working on. I’ve also begun doing the organizational work I need to do on the upcoming new film, so that I’m now ready to totally dive in to that.
Well, shall we all click on the Unseemly Button below, because soon it’s heigh ho, heigh ho, and off to work I shall go.
Have I mentioned that today’s notes are going to be short? Well, they are.
No paragraph from here on in will be more than two lines, which will insure shortness of notes.
I am very excited thinking about the upcoming New York trip, and I’ll be talking about that more later this week.
Whew, if that paragraph had had one more word it would have been three lines, and then where would we be. Three lines would result in chaos and disorder – oops, now look what I’ve gone and done. You see, you see, now we have chaos and disorder, not necessarily in that order, and now the whole damn short notes have run amok, have turned into a crazy quilt that Wall Street Jack built, and now we have anarchy and revolution and the whole of Western Civilization could tumble down lickety-split or even split-lickety. What the hell am I talking about?
My goodness, that was a paragraph. Of course, when I put this into the form, it might make the whole two line thing a moot point. I mean, the whole two line thing is what it looks like in Word, not what it will look like in the form that I post the notes from. You might not have a clew as to what I was going on about, but then that’s par for the course, isn’t it?
Well, dear readers, I feel we have chaos and disorder in these here notes. I feel these notes have run, not walked, amok. Therefore, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must get into my automobile and drive west on the Ventura Freeway and work all the livelong day. Now, we must make up for the dearth of posts yesterday. Yesterday was Dearth Day here at haineshisway.com and we must not have another Dearth Day. We must put on an extra burst of speed, even though there is no way we can best our best month of August. But at least we can come close if we all pull together and work as a Hainsie/Kimlet team. Do your best, dear readers. Come out of the woodwork and do some good work. If you don’t have anything to contribute to today’s topic of discussion, then create your own topic. Today’s topic of discussion: Since I was fondly remembering how much fun A Hard Day’s Night was – and since we have all ages of dear readers here – what and when was your first exposure to The Beatles. Where were you? What was the song you first heard? Where did you first see A Hard Day’s Night? In other words, tell us your best Beatle stories. I’ll contribute mine later, but for now it’s heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to work I go.
