THE DENSE NOTES

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, I must write these here notes in a hurry and run off to an appointment, about which I shall have a full report immediately upon my return. My goodness, what a dense opening sentence that is. Full of weighty import, don’t you think? In any case, Christmas is creeping ever closer during our Countdown to Christmas. The streets are surprisingly free of traffic right about now. So, maybe everyone has actually finished their shopping early. But, for those late shoppers, might I suggest that this year they buy their true love something lively and bouncy, like nine ladies dancing? That is just a fine gift for one’s true love. Depending on where you buy the nine ladies dancing, you can choose the type of dance. For example, if I were to buy my true love nine ladies dancing, they would be dancing the Swim. Other popular dances for the nine ladies are the Locomotion and the Who’s That Woman number from Follies. Be warned, however – they only sell dancing ladies in lots of nine. You can’t get eight or ten ladies dancing – you either get nine or eighteen ladies dancing. I do think your true love will be very taken with the nine ladies dancing – I know I would be if my true love bought me nine ladies dancing. This entire paragraph is very dense, don’t you think? This may well be the densest paragraph on all the Internet. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too?

Yesterday, I got to walk with dear reader Jane, whom I adore. I also got to eat a faboo dinner with dear reader Panni’s dearest darling daughter Rachel. We let her mother tag along as a chaperone. I also had a lovely work session with Mr. Kevin Spirtas. We spent two count them two hours focusing his material and his presentation of his material. I do love doing this sort of thing – especially with someone with a lot of talent. It’s my favorite way of working – talk things through, try a few different approaches, talk some more, and suddenly the perfect solution presents itself and we make that work. What we’re concentrating on now is a fifteen minute “tab” version of his act, which he’ll present to a bunch of act bookers in New York. I should think they will jump all over this – Mr. Spirtas, after all, spent five years appearing on Days of Our Lives, so he has a built-in fan base. In any case, we’re having fun, and that’s all that counts. He’ll be attending my Christmas Eve “do”, too.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because frankly the entire notes thus far are just so dense and filled with weighty import that I feel this section can stand no more densosity.

Has anyone noticed how dense today’s notes are? I have.

Well, that was a sentence and a paragraph all rolled into one, wasn’t it?

I feel this section, while less dense, is, in its own way, even denser than the previous dense section of notes. I’m almost finished watching the first four movies in my Edgar Wallace boxed set and then I shall have a full report. This is actually box set number three – numbers four, five, and six are on their way from Germany. I didn’t buy boxes one and two because several of the films in those two sets are in German only, at least that’s what I read on one website. But, I’m not sure they’re correct, so I may just order box one to see (three of the four films therein do have English dubs and subs, so I’d only be taking a chance on one film).

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must be on my way bright and early and when I return I will tell you all about my bright and early business. I then must come back and do some mailing, pick up packages that should be arriving, and then start getting the home environment ready for the Christmas Eve “do”. Today’s topic of discussion: What are your favorite books of 2004? All genres, fiction or non. Tell us what you loved, and tell us what you absolutely abhorred. Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, and do try to make them as dense as the notes, so that notes and posts are all of a piece. And perhaps later we’ll have nine ladies dancing for entertainment.
