NOW I’VE GONE AND DONE IT

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, now I’ve gone and done it. What have I gone and done you might ask and I might tell you since I’ve gone and done it – I’ve gone and overslept and now I’m running late and I must hurry and rush, not necessarily in that order. I have a lunch meeting, and phone calls to make and now I’m up against the clock which, of course, the clock enjoys. I think I slept for close to ten hours (I went to be early because I’d only gotten about four hours of sleep the night before) and now I am paying the price ($4.99 plus tax).

And so, I must be succinct and swift. My prose must be terse and tight. For example: Last night I watched a motion picture entitled Cartouche, starring Mr. Jean Paul Belmondo and the beautiful Miss Claudia Cardinale. I liked it a lot. The End.

Wasn’t that succinct and swift and terse and tight? I would have lots more to say about the gorgeous transfer or the wonderful direction of Phillipe de Broca, or the beautiful score by Georges Delerue, but you see now I’ve gone and done it and I can’t say any of those things because I’m up against the clock.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because I mustn’t tarry or dally or even dally or tarry. Why do you suppose someone came up with an abbreviation for “must not” in which you save exactly one letter and one space? Oh, well, click away, dear readers.

Isn’t it funny how fast time goes when you are in a hurry and how slow it goes when you are not? This is known as the Conundrum of Time. For example, I am in a hurry hence time is going fast. If I were not in a hurry time would be going slow. Time – the bitch goddess.

Well, since so many were errant and truant over the weekend you can always use the handy-dandy Unseemly Archive Button to read the lively and sparkling notes and posts from then. And you can listen to Donald’s brand spanking new radio show, and you can prepare for tonight’s Unseemly Live Chat – and we do hope that many of you will be there this fine evening which is coming all too soon because I’m up against the clock and time is going fast.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day (which is going fast), I must do the things I do, I must shower, I must dress quickly, I must get ready for my luncheon appointment, I must make calls, I must write, and so forth and so on and also so on and so forth. Today’s topic of discussion: Since food has been so popular with the Hainsies/Kimlets populace – what are your favorite appetizers? You must describe them in mouth-watering detail. I’ll start – I love, love, love (that is three loves) the Spinach Artichoke Dip at the California Pizza Kitchen. I love Popcorn Shrimp at either the Hamburger Hamlet or The Cheescake Factory. I love good Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese and Tomatoes at almost any good Italian restaurant. Your turn, and I’ll see you all at tonight’s live chat at six o’clock Pacific Mean Time Daylight Savings Time which is going fast.
