SAVING MEG RYAN

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, I overslept because I was up late doing fixes and I must say I get truly tuckered doing these marathon sessions. Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, I get tuckered and there are no one or even two ways about it. Plus, I was having a rather delicious dream which I did not care to wake up from.

Last night I dreamed I was at Manderley. In my dream, for some reason, a director had asked me to act in a film and, even though I didn’t really want to do it, I said yes. I had to do a love scene with Miss Meg Ryan (maybe that’s why I said yes). All I can now remember was rehearsing to do it, and something about holding a cake and that neither Meg nor I liked the director much. Then I woke up because, Meg Ryan be damned, I knew I had to write these here notes. So, blame Meg Ryan for the lateness of these here notes.

Last night, prior to the marathon, I watched the remake of The Italian Job. It really has very little to do with the original film, and it’s a perfectly pleasant little caper film, not great, but not bad. I’ll tell you what I really liked about it though, and which was totally refreshing – while there was a bit of violence (some shooting) it was very underplayed, there was no blood and it took up about one minute of the entire film. There is also no cursing, which I also found refreshing. So, thumbs up for someone having the guts to do that in today’s market.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because that darned Meg Ryan made me oversleep and now I am running behind. I wonder how “behind” feels about me running it?

Have I mentioned that Meg Ryan is the cause of the lateness of these here notes? She is awfully cute, though, and she liked me very much and said I was an excellent kisser.

There are some interesting things going on, none of which I’m prepared to talk about just yet, but hopefully by the end of the week I can say a little something and enlighten you.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must do errands, I must travel about in my automobile, and then I must do yet another marathon session of fixes (I’m hoping to finish tonight, but it may not be possible). Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Ask BK Day, and also Ask Dear Reader Day, the day in which you get to ask me or any dear reader any old question you care to. I will answer as many as I can within the day’s posts. So, let’s have loads of lovely posts and let’s have no lazy loafers on this fine Wednesday. Perhaps even Meg Ryan will post.
