Well, dear readers, it is Friday and I must tell you I slept like a log (no mean feat). Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, I slept like a log and I have just arisen, like Phoenix, Arizona. I shall keep these here notes nice and short today, because yesterday’s were so damnably long. Yes, Virginia, yesterday’s were so damnably long that today’s must be damnably short.
Well, that was a fine opening paragraph, wasn’t it? I feel it really got right to the long and the short of it, don’t you? Last night I had a much-needed massage and then I watched a motion picture entitles See the Sea (Regarde la mer), by the fellow who directed 8 Women. It’s quite different, obviously low-budget, only fifty-two minutes long, and quite interesting. It’s one of those films that gets under your skin (no mean feat), and is quite creepy and just the right length. I’m interested to see his other films, too.
I’d like to remind everyone that the rescheduled Barnes and Noble signing at the Grove for Benjamin Kritzer is this coming Thursday at seven. I do hope that if you’re in the area you will stop by and see me, and also spread the word to all your friends and neighbors. It would be grand to have a full house, as it were. Also, our Unseemly Live Chat is this Sunday, and, of course, Donald will have a brand spanking new radio show up on Sunday as well.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button (no mean feat) so I can keep my promise of short notes.
Have I mentioned that I slept like a log (no mean feat)? Have I mentioned that my feet got angry yesterday and tried to attack my front door, which was sticking because of the recent rain? However, I do not allow my feet (or anyone else’s) to be angry (no mean feet), so I had a talk with my angry feet (no mean feat feet) and then all was well with the world and also all was world with the well. What the hell am I talking about?
Tonight I will be having a Roumanian Adventure, about which more tomorrow, when I will have a full report. Today, I will try to sort through all the papers and ephemera that have been building up over the past few weeks, because I must have organization and right now things are looking quite disheveled, oh, yes, things are looking quite disheveled.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must organized the disheveled, I must calm my mean feet down, I must drive hither and thither and then I must have a Roumanian Adventure. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Friday – what is currently, at this very moment, in your CD player and your DVD/video player? I’ll start – CD, the soundtrack to 8 Women, which not only has the fun songs from the film, but the haunting score by Krishna Levy. DVD player, Benny Hill, and a bargain public domain DVD of Mr. Bert I. Gordon’s The Magic Sword, which I just found for $7.98 at Tower. The quality is a bit better than most of these PD things. Your turn.
