Well, dear readers, it is the final Friday in a little month I like to call March. Can you believe it? The whole month is practically over and soon April will be upon us like a gazelle in a glue factory. April is shaping up as an interesting and hopefully exciting and fun month. First of all, we all get to be fools come Sunday. And what better place to be a fool than right here at haineshisway.com? April will also see the debut of Miss Merissa Haddad’s act that I am directing, and, God willing, April should be the month in which I finish my new novel. There are several other potentially exciting things that could come to fruition in April, so all excellent vibes and xylophones would be appreciated. Meanwhile, we still have two days of March left and I say let’s make the most of them. Let’s send March off in fine fashion (stiletto heels and a leather bustier). Speaking of a leather bustier, yesterday was an interesting day. For example, I woke up. That was interesting. I then made a little addition to the chapter I finished the night before, and then I printed out the new fifty-six pages and had them Xeroxed. They were then delivered to my muse Margaret, who will hopefully read them this very day. I also dealt with a few e-mails and telephonic calls and then I toddled off to lunch with Mr. Kevin Spirtas. After that, I came home and wrote a page and a half of the new chapter. Then I did a few errands and then it was time to toddle off to supper with Miss Barbara Deutsch. After that, I came home and had about ten phone calls come in, so I never did get around to watching a motion picture on DVD.
Last night, I watched no motion picture on DVD. Hence, I have nothing to write in this here paragraph. Oh, I could tell the story of The Randy Vicar and the Erector Set, or I could talk about how nice my toenails look or I could sing a few choruses of Dinner For One Please, James or I could just move on to the next paragraph.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because I have nothing further to say in this here section.
I have a combo platter of flavors in my mouth that is truly nauseating. I ask you, where else on all the Internet can you read such a sentence? Nowhere, that’s where. I mean, for lunch I had grilled sausage and peppers penne at the California Pizza Kitchen (also some spinach artichoke dip), and for dinner I had teriyaki, tempura, and California roll. And now they are just a mélange of odd tastes and smells that is making me want to vomit on the ground.
My goodness, that was a useless paragraph, wasn’t it? The Flavors In My Mouth – that’s the title of my next novel. Today, I must start packaging up big orders of CDs, then I must do one annoying errand in the morning, then I must have a lunch meeting with Miss Merissa Haddad to lock in the order for her show. I did my first pass order today (which took longer than I’d have thought it would) and I think it’s really pretty good, so we’ll go over it at lunch and see if I’m still liking it. Then I’ll come home and hopefully write between three and five pages, and then I shall toddle off to supper and then perhaps watch a motion picture on DVD.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, jog (time permitting), write, package CDs, maybe even ship some of the packages, meet, eat, write, eat, and watch a DVD. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Friday – what is currently in your CD player and your DVD/video player? I’ll start – CD, house player, several Nancy Wilson CDs, plus the marvelous new Varese Sarabande Club release of Author! Author! produced by our very own Mr. Nick Redman. The wonderful thing about the CD is not only does it have the kicky Dave Grusin score, it also has the first score to the film, which was dumped when the producers got in a panic. And that score is by Johnny Mandel and it’s achingly beautiful and boy, would it have helped that film. Car player – various soundtrack CDs, including Ennio Morricone’s I Malamondo. DVD, Infernal Affairs III. Your turn. Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, as I try to brush away The Flavors In My Mouth.
