OOPS, I ALMOST FORGOT A TITLE

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, it’s already Friday again, and I, for one, am looking forward to the weekend. She of the Evil Eye will be coming tomorrow so I will have to leave early, but I have lots of errands to do, so that’s fine and dandy.

I’ll also be working on Kritzer three this weekend, doing a handful of additions that I never got around to putting in. I’ve already written them, I just have to insert them wherever they belong. After that, I shall print up a copy and start doing corrections. The others that help doing that process will be getting me their corrections during the next few weeks. Those who remember this process from book two will remember that it is a daunting task and takes a lot of time – just when you think you’ve found everything, someone else finds thirty more things. And then comes the magic day when it will be all fixed and purty and then I will ship it off to the publisher, who will turn it into an actual book. My intention is to get it off to them the last week of December. I’m also looking into doing a slipcase for those who’ve bought the three books. I have no idea of the cost, but I’ve been given the name of a company that does it and I’ll be contacting them soon. Oh, dear, I’m afraid this entire paragraph and the one above have been about me. Oh, dear, oh, dear, whatever shall I do. I suppose I shall have to flog myself like Judge Turpin.

Richard Valley tells me that we should have finished discs in the next week or so, so that is exciting. If you haven’t ordered your Jeepers Creepers, now is the time to do so and do so posthaste so that Richard can haste post it to you the minute they arrive.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below, because shortly I must get in my automobile known as an Infiniti and I must drive to the Oaks of Sherman where I shall work all the livelong day.

I listened to that strange Yvonne De Carlo CD I got (with John “Johnny” Williams conducting, and I must say it’s quite a fetching album, with Miss De Carlo in great voice (except for one rather horrid last note – ah, the days before fixing such things was easy and breezy). It’s mostly moody ballads and the arrangements are pretty good. I can’t say I liked the Pat Suzuki CD as much – Miss Suzuki tends to oversing things. She has a terrific voice, though, and on the few songs where she calms down she’s terrific. The best arrangements on the album (most of the arrangements are so-so) are the three or four done by Ralph Burns. I do like these little outre CDs that pop up from time to time. Now I want the Rhonda Fleming album.

I finally watched all my episodes of The Partridge Family, which I was asked to do before giving my upcoming interview for the Partridge website. I’ll have plenty to say on that subject in tomorrow’s notes, so don’t stay away, you hear? Also, our Unseemly Live Chat will be on Sunday at six o’clock Pacific Mean Daylight Savings Time and if you haven’t heard the Jeepers Creepers radio show you have until Sunday afternoon, when it will be replaced by a brand spanking new radio show.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must work all the livelong day and then I must relax all the livelong night. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Friday – what is currently in your CD player and your DVD/video player? I’ll start – CD, Miss Yvonee De Carlo is still ruling the roost. DVD/video – still haven’t gotten to my Partridge Family tape, but will have to do so this weekend. DVD – I’m going to try to watch some episodes of Family Guy, which everyone tells me is funny. Your turn, and let’s have loads of lovely posts, shall we?
