Well, dear readers, you won’t believe it – I could barely believe it myself and yet it is true. Yesterday afternoon, the doorbell rang and a woman talking on a cell phone was at my door. She informed me that she’d been on the cell phone in her car and had gotten distracted and had accidentally sideswiped my car, which was parked on the street instead of the driveway. She’s telling me this while she’s still on the cell phone. We went out and looked and sure enough there was a lovely and large dent right in front of the passenger door. Luckily, she lives across the street and will take care of everything, but I must have it fixed immediately because I can barely get the driver’s side front door open. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too? And that, dear readers, is why I rarely talk on the cell phone whilst driving.
Also, I forgot to mention that I received a test copy of the softcover version of Kritzerland, and I must say it looks pretty great – the hardcover will be here by Tuesday, and if it looks as good, then I’ll place my order and the books should be here within ten business days, and then I will ship them out priority mail the very day they arrive. The shipping envelopes have already been addressed. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too? I cannot tell you what a thrill it is to see Kritzerland in actual book form – it’s just very exciting indeed.
I continued my little flirtation with the world of anime, and watched Ghost in the Shell and Metropolis – I enjoyed the former all right, but really liked the latter.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below? I mean, it’s just sitting there like so much fish, we may as well click on it and be done with it.
Don’t forget that Donald will have a brand spanking new radio show up tomorrow, and don’t forget that tomorrow is our Unseemly Live Chat at six p.m. Pacific Mean Daylight Savings Time. We do hope that many of you Hainsies/Kimlets will join in.
This week our Unseemly Trivia Contest was going to return with a guest question, but unfortunately, I was doing some e-mail file compacting and I accidentally nuked the question and who sent it. Can the dear reader (I believe it was one of the Williams) please resend and we’ll have it next Saturday, I promise. You see what happens when you try to be good and occasionally compact your filing cabinet? Damn them, damn them all to hell.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must travel far and wide and near and close and round and about and to and fro and also fro and to. This evening I will be seeing X-Men II or whatever it’s called – I didn’t care for X-Men I, so I can’t imagine liking its sequel, but we shall see. Today’s topic of discussion: Since we took on TV songs and themes, today let’s do movie songs and themes – what are your favorite movie songs and themes – I’ll start: The High and the Mighty, especially as whistled by Muzzy Marcellino, Days of Wine and Roses, Moon River and Two for the Road, all by Mr. Henry Mancini, The Parent Trap title song, the main titles of King of Kings by Mikos Rozsa, Chinatown by Jerry Goldsmith, Made in Paris, What’s New, Pussycat and Send Me no Flowers, all by Mr. Bacharach, the title song from The Tender Trap, and on and on. Your turn.
