Well, dear readers, I don’t want to be unseemly, but I have gotten Luckie on a Tuesday night. How many can say that? Luckie is going for an all-day visit with a friend of mine today and then I’ll have her again tomorrow night and all the way through Sunday. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too?
I have other very very very (that is three verys) exciting news – our next Unseemly Interview will be up one week from this Friday and it’s going to be a corker. Yes, Virginia, our next Unseemly Interview is going to be a corker because it’s with one of the most interesting theater people I know – although not an actor, not a writer and not a director. It’s Mr. Max Preeo, who created the best theater magazine in history, Show Music. It’s going to be an in-depth fun, irreverent interview with lots of topics you will all enjoy, I can assure you. I will keep you posted, and it’s one you won’t want to miss (and for those who haven’t read Miss Donna Lynne Champlin’s interview, you will be bitch-slapped from here to eternity if you don’t go read it right this very minute).
Has anyone noticed that these here notes are not titled. I simply could not extrapolate a title in time to post these here notes. Isn’t “extrapolate” a fancy-shmancy ten-dollar word? I’d like to extrapolate the person who made up the word extrapolate, wouldn’t you? Okay, I’ll just title these here notes right now and be done with it and I shall use the word “extrapolate” and the devil take the hindmost. I just had to change the title because I said it was Tuesday. Can you imagine? It’s Wednesday not Tuesday. This is what happens when you have to take Luckie out at seven in the morning – your brain freezes.
I picked up a handful of new DVDs today, some really good obscure British crime thrillers from the early sixties, with the likes of Sean Connery and Stanley Baker. One is directed by Joseph Losey and written by A Hard Day’s Night Alun Owen. It’s entitled The Criminal, and it also has a score by Johnny Dankworth with vocals by his wife, Cleo Laine. The transfers on these black-and-white titles is amazing, another first-rate Studio+Canal job via Anchor Bay. I’ll have a full report soon.
I watched The Sopranos, the episode from the 17th. It was a beautifully written and directed episode, full of wonderful moments. The characters just get richer and the storylines are going really interesting places. It’s just the best television there is, in my opinion (IMO, in Internet lingo).
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because Luckie’s babysitter will be here very soon.
Poor Luckie, she’s trying so hard, but if you even look at her the wrong way she pees. This is her “thing”. For example, you might be playful and she’ll misread it and think you’re going to kick her in the eyeball and she’ll pee. This is her “thing”. I suppose she’ll get over it someday and hopefully sooner than later.
Well, after this very day I get four count them four days off and that will be heavenly. Oh, what fun I shall have. I shall relax, I shall write, I shall wile away the hours, I shall take Luckie on walks, and I shall watch motion pictures on DVD.
And don’t forget, tomorrow we are having our second annual Thanksgiving bash right here at haineshisway.com. We will have turkey with all the trimmings and we may even have trimming with all the turkeys and believe me there are plenty of turkeys we’d like to trim.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must bid Luckie, the Dog Who Pees if You Look at Her Askance, farewell for the day and I must drive a long distance to the Hills of Woodland. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Ask BK Day, the day in which you get to ask all your excellent questions. I shall be back to check up on things shortly, so let’s have lots and lots of posts for my mental delectation. If you don’t have a question, have an answer. Post away, my pretties.
