Well, dear readers, we start editing today so that should keep me nice and busy from now on. I may also have to shoot a couple of more segments, but basically I’ll be living in the editing room for at least the next eight to ten weeks. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too?
Sunday night I had a glorious massage – it had been six months since my last one, and boy (or girl) did it feel wonderful. I was like a wet noodle afterwards and I slept like a baby. Actually, babies don’t sleep all that well, so I slept like a log, oh, yes, I slept like a log.
I’ve been slogging my way through the new DVD of Hiroshima Mon Amour – it’s a bit of a tough watch, but it’s beautifully done and I like the leading lady, Emmanuel Riva, very much. It’s my first time seeing the film, and the transfer looks lovely. I’ll report more fully when I’m finished. Or, conversely, I’ll report more finished when I’m fully. What the hell am I talking about?
Got a sweet e-mail from our very own Melissa Errico, who is here in town shooting a TV series with Alicia Silverstone. She’s playing two nights at Feinstein’s at the Cinegrill, doing songs from her album and a lot of other cooliscious stuff. She asked me to pass the word along – she’d love to see all of us West Coast Hainsies/Kimlets. I’ll definitely be going, and I hope some of you can join me. Also, if you have friends on this coast, let them know. The shows are August 5 and 6 at 8:30. Reservations can be made at 323 769-7269. Be there or be round.
I have been on a Ben and Jerry’s kick – every day I buy some Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and I kick it. We have a Ben and Jerry’s across from the office and I’ve been doing my favorite flavor every day – coconut almond fudge chip – or is it coconut fudge chip almond? But I’ve been eating only one meal a day so hopefully I will not gain the dreaded weight, or even the dreaded wait.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because I need to go kick some Ben and Jerry’s ice cream right now.
I don’t know how many of you peruse Usenet newsgroups, but if you haven’t they really are quite fascinating. Most of the people who post to these newsgroups are sick, twisted and stupid – and one wonders what these cretins did before the Internet gave them an outlet to spew their insane bile and drivel. And the fact that they can get away with some of the things they post, without repurcussion, is just disgusting. I’m thinking there should be an Equalizer – someone who has the ability to find these creeps and teach them a few life lessons. I’m sure they are sad lonely unattractive losers, but that still does not excuse their behavior. I think I shall write a film about it – or develop a TV series about it.
Was I on a rant? Must one pay rent when one is on a rant or can one purchase a rant outright or, at the very least, outleft? If you rant mercilessly do you pant when you rant? If someone rants for you are they a rant plant? If you don’t have the ability to rant does that mean you can’t rant? Does Gus van Sant rant? What the hell am I talking about?
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must go hither and thither and I must rant and I must kick some Ben and Jerry’s ice cream whilst ranting. Today’s topic of discussion: Who is your favorite comedy team and, if they made films, what are your favorite films they made? Post away, my pretties, and I’ll check back in whenever I can.
