Well, dear readers, yesterday was a teeth-brightening sort of day. We shot at a couple of teeth-brightening places and it was a nice day all around. When I got home, Mr. David Wechter informed me that he’d gotten a nice green envelope, which means that I should have gotten a similar green envelope today, and yet I had no green envelope – which will hopefully arrive tomorrow. However, he told me what the contents of the green envelope were and I can only say we are both happy campers. More about that when the green envelope actually arrives. I really don’t like my mailman – things always seem to get here late or are mis-delivered. For two months we had a replacement, and the mail got here by noon every day and everything was beautiful. But now our regular fellow is back. If my green envelope doesn’t arrive tomorrow I shall lambast him but good.
Today I will be shooting in the Oaks of Sherman, at an eyeglasses place. And then comes the blessed weekend. Now, let us not have the usual errant and truant behavior that has been plaguing us on weekends. First of all, as of tonight there will be a new entry in Juliana’s Journal, and in addition to that there will be our new Unseemly Interview with Mr. Charles Pogue – to my mind it’s one of the best we’ve had. Mr. Pogue is bright, literate, funny and has endlessly wonderful and illuminating stories about the Motion Picture Business and its denizens. He also talks about musical theater and the whole thing is simply too too and you must not only read it you must post about it.
Say, I’ve got an idea – let’s all click on the Unseemly Button below so we can see what unseemly things are awaiting us on the other side.
Well, nothing is going on here, nothing at all. This section is sitting here like so much fish – naked as a Don Bachardy painting.
Last night I made a horrendous mistake. Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, last night I made a horrendous mistake. I was out of Diet Coke so I went to the liquor store to get a couple of 20 ounce bottles to tide me over until I shop on Saturday. Well, I accidentally got Diet Coke with Lemon and all I have to say is yechhhh. It tastes heinous (heinous, do you hear me?). It looks too much like regular Diet Coke, hence my confusion. Damn them, damn them all to hell.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must go to the Oaks of Sherman and shoot eyeglasses and whatnot, I must eat various and sundried foodstuffs and I must try to write when I get home. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Friday – what is currently in your CD players and DVD/video players? I’ll start – CD, a CDR of the original LP of Dave Brubeck’s Points on Jazz, as played by Gold and Fizdale. DVD player, an advance copy of Inn of the 6th Happiness, with an audio commentary by my pal Aubrey Solomon and our very own Nick Redman (along with “scholar” Donald Spoto – who should never ever ever never ever never do an audio commentary again – you’ll know why when you hear his “scholarly” voice). Your turn.
