Well, dear readers, I could take it no more and yesterday I finally did something about it. Yesterday I went and got myself new glasses. As I’ve mentioned right here in these here notes, strange things have happened to my eyes in the last year – the vision in my right eye has improved and the vision in my left eye has gotten worse. Therefore, when I was wearing my glasses neither eye was in focus, which was very annoying. So, yesterday I moseyed on over to the glasses place I go to and had a new examination and yes, Virginia, I was right – my right eye needed less of a prescription and my left eye needed more. I chose one new pair of frames, and I had them use one pair of my existing frames, and so I have two brand spanking new pairs of glasses – or should it be two pair of glasses? Or should it be pairs of glass. Or should it be pears of glasses? What the hell am I talking about?
When I got home I put on a movie and by bum and by golly if I couldn’t see everything perfectly. Has anyone noticed that I just wrote “by bum and by golly”? I didn’t mean to, I meant to write “by gum and by golly” and yet I wrote “by bum and by golly”. Of course, as long as I was mistyping, I should have written “by bum and by bolly” just for consistency’s sake. But, since I don’t give one or two whits (or even a fig) for consistency’s sake, consistency’s sake is out in the cold, I’m afraid.
Don’t forget, tonight is our Unseemly Live Chat at six o’clock Pacific Mean Daylight Savings Time, and I want to see a roomful of people I tell you, especially after this weekend with all the errant and truant Hainsies/Kimlets. Also, Donald should have his brand spanking new radio show up, although I have not confirmed this for my very own self.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below, because by bum and by golly it is time to do so.
If you missed any of the goings on around these parts (and many of you did) do be sure to use the Unseemly Archive Button so you can catch up or, at the very least, ketchup.
Mr. Mark Bakalor promises me that he will have the Kritzerland order page up and running as soon as possible, and I shall let you know the minute such a thing happens.
I watched Mulholland Drive again this weekend, and I must say its pleasures grow with each viewing and, once you know the conceit of the film, it’s fun to watch how Mr. Lynch constructs the first two-thirds of the film. And I’ll say it again, Naomi Watts gives one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. Her transition from the first two-thirds of the film to the final third is breathtaking – and the first time I saw it I wasn’t even sure it was her.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I have many things to attend to and I must attend to them. Today’s topic of discussion: All right – we haven’t done one of these in quite some time – it’s time for a haineshisway.com revival of Pippin – what are your most wrong casting choices, the worst possible cast we can come up with. Do your best, and by bum and by golly I shall see you all at chat this evening. Here’s mine: Pippin, Eminem. Fastrada, Liza Minnelli. Leading Player, Bruce Vilanch. Your turn.
