SO IT IS WRITTEN, SO IT SHALL BE

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, today begins our Countdown to Christmas. Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, today begins our Countdown to Christmas. I don’t really know what that means, but I like the sound of it. It is a mere five days until Christmas, and a mere four days to Christmas Eve. I reiterate – if you are in Los Angeles you must come to my annual Christmas Eve do. We shall be having ever so much fun. If you are unable to attend you just come right to this here site because we will have a blow-by-blow account and our very own Christmas Eve do right here at haineshisway.com.

Today’s notes will be short because yesterday’s notes were long and it is written that the short shall follow the long. Sometimes it is written that the long shall follow the short but that is only on special occasions.

I have been writing like a demon (no mean feat), averaging about eight to ten pages a day on the book. I thought this was excellent until I watched an interview with Mr. Ray Bradbury where he said that he wrote his novel, Fahrenheit 451 in nine days. So, I guess I have not been writing like a demon. No, I have not achieved writing-like-a-demon status – I have only achieved writing-like-a-de status. Oh, well, as long as we finish the damn thing all will be fine. Of course, I’m also finishing Nudie Musical and the film so it’s not as if I’m sitting here twiddling my thumbs, writing-like-a-demon-wise.

Tomorrow night I’m going to be seeing our very own Juliana A. Hansen in The Wizard of Oz. I shall, of course, have a full report for you.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below, because it is written that the second section shall follow the first but only if we click on the fershluganah Unseemly Button.

So it is written, so it shall be – here we are in the second section. Have I mentioned that it’s the Countdown to Christmas? Have I mentioned that it is written that the short shall follow the long? So it is written, so it shall be.

I’m sounding very biblical, aren’t I? I’m sounding very Cecil B. DeMille, aren’t I? Next thing you know, I’ll be doing scenes from Ben-Hur. And after that I might even do scenes from Ben-Him. We don’t allow groaning here at haineshisway.com.

I’m expecting quite a few packages and yet none count them none have arrived. Perhaps today will be the day that some of them will arrive. So it is written, so it shall be.

Has anyone noticed that these are very short paragraphs? Oh, well, it is written that the short shall follow the long and yesterday’s paragraph’s were so long they put me to sleep while I was writing them.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the thing I do, I must write like a de, I must see if any of my packages have arrived. So it is written, so it shall be. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Friday – what is currently in your CD player and your DVD/video players? I’ll start – CD player, John Williams’ rather interesting and delightful score to Catch Me if You Can, and also the new pressing of Mr. Burt Bacharach’s score to Casino Royale. In the DVD player – regular player has the cheesy but fun Italian caper film, Grand Slam, with Mr. Edward G. Robinson. Non-regular all-region player, Hercules, with Mr. Steve Reeves. Your turn. So it is written, so it shall be.
