THE MINUTIAE OF LIFE

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, the holiday is over and I have a very busy week ahead, so let’s not dip a little toe into these here notes, let’s dive right in.

If you missed any of the merriment and mirth and laughter and legs that went on here at haineshisway.com over the long weekend then you simply must use the Unseemly Archive button to catch up on both notes and posts, not necessarily in that order. Those that were here had a lively and sparkling time and those that weren’t here were errant and truant. Unfortunately for our stats, this weekend has taken its toll which is too bad because I do believe that May would have been our very best month ever. As of now, we will have perhaps our third or fourth best month ever which is not chopped liver but it’s not chateaubriand either. Still and all, we had a marvelous and weekend-long party here and it was fun, fun, fun (that is three funs).

Last night I watched two motion picture entertainments on DVD. The first was entitled The Electric Horseman starring Mr. Robert Redford and Miss Jane Fonda. I missed this one in the theaters and it is thoroughly entertaining. It just amble along and is funny and filled with the kind of star-power I enjoy. It was well-directed by Sidney Pollack. Then I watched the first half of The Flight of the Phoenix, un film de Robert Aldrich. What a strange movie this is. And I’m sure it will get stranger as it goes along. Mr. Aldrich was unique – bombastic, larger-than-life, and, in terms of his films, a bit nuts. That, of course, makes the films weirdly watchable (until the end of his career, when they are anything but watchable and just weird).

What am I, Ebert and Roeper all of a sudden? Don’t I have things to do, places to go, people to see? I do and I shall, so let’s all click on the Unseemly Button below so I can get crackin’.

Don’t forget, Donald has a brand spanking new radio show up for your mental delectation, and if you haven’t read Danny Burstein’s Unseemly Interview, do so. We will have a brand spanking new Unseemly Interview up on Friday with Mr. Seth Rudetsky, who will tell us all about the many celebrities he’s played piano for, all about the concert of Dreamgirls which he produced and musical directed, and lots of other excellent details about his very interesting life.

On Saturday I will be winging my way to New York, New York. I know we’re going to try to attempt to have a Hainsies/Kimlets get together, and hopefully Miss Susan Gordon will find time in her very busy schedule to make the arrangements for that event. I believe the plan is to try for early Sunday evening. I’m not sure when the Sunday recording session is yet, so we can’t set the exact time until I do, but we should all be able to meet up between six and seven at Joe Allen.

I’m looking forward to the sessions and the trip and being back in the studio. Tomorrow night is the American Cinematheque screening of Nudie Musical and I’m hoping we have a nice big audience, but of course there’s no way to know until we get there.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must go hither and thither and definitely yon, I must attend to the minutiae of life as I know it. One must always attend to the minutiae of life as one knows it because otherwise the minutiae of life is unattended and feels lonely and unloved and we can’t have that, now can we? Today’s topic of discussion: We had two good topics of discussion over the long weekend, so those who were errant and truant can start with those – I am on a vicarious food kick, so what are your favorite snack foods – you know, what kind of chips, nuts, candy bars, gum and all that minutiae do you like, crave and eat. Leave no details out. I will be back in a bit to read your excellent posts, so post away my pretties no matter how small the minutiae.
