Well, dear readers, I must write these here notes in a hurry because my eyelids are drooping like a gazelle with with sagging breasts. When ones eyelids are drooping it becomes very difficult to see clearly and therefore it is very hard to ypte without making mstakse. Speaking of mstakse, yesterday was much better than the day before. For example, I got up early and wrote three pages. Then I showered and prettified myself and went off to a lunch meeting with Miss Alet Taylor. We have an initial bunch of songs we’re now going to play through in two weeks, to see how many of those we’ll keep. Depending on what that number of songs is, then we’ll be able to see how many more we need, and what types of songs they should be. I then came home, and the rest of the Shire CDs arrived. I packaged up the two store orders, and got them shipped. I then managed to write three more pages, which was a very good day’s work, writing-wise. I then toddled off to the Joan Ryan work session. We played through some stuff, I did one arrangement, and then we found that Boswell had lost our recorded previous work sessions when his computer crashed. Joan has the CD we made her but cannot find it (she is scatterbrained). We’ve told her she must find it, because if she doesn’t, then I have to start from scratch on the arrangements we’d already done, although we have notes on each of the songs. That was most annoying. But the two hours went by quickly, and I rather liked the little put together of two songs that we did. Just before she left, I did one other arrangement, and then Miss Merissa Haddad showed up for her work session. Her session was much more productive – we routined and arranged seven songs, half of her act. I do have one major medley to put together, and we’re going to work on that next Tuesday, along with the other six arrangements. By the time I got home at nine I was exhausted. I don’t think I’ll do three back-to-back work sessions again – it’s very draining. It’s not just that you’re dealing with three completely different people, but you’re dealing with three different shows and all kinds of different material. So, I have to go from one mode, to the next, to the next, and make sure I’m doing the right thing for the singer I’m with. And, after a while, your brain just stops working. After I got home, I immediately sat on my couch like so much fish.
Last night, I watched a motion picture on DVD entitled Infernal Affairs. As some of you know, Infernal Affairs is the Hong Kong film that was the source material for The Departed. I gather the main difference is that The Departed, being a Scorsese film and all, is disgustingly violent, whereas Infernal Affairs isn’t. They’ve combined two female characters into one in The Departed. And I’m sure The Departed is filled with ACTING and fancy shmancy out of control Scorseseisms (I won’t see it because of the violence). Infernal Affairs is a crackerjack film, very interesting, suspenseful, with good characters (one sees immediately why the Hollywood crass set would want to remake it). It’s never gratuitous, and it runs a crisp 101 minutes, as opposed to Mr. Scorsese’s two hour and twenty minute film. The actors are all excellent, and I really enjoyed it a lot. There are no phony-baloney over the top action scenes, either, which was refreshing. The transfer was acceptable and nothing more. I have the other two films in the series – Infernal Affairs II, which is a prequel to the first film, and Infernal Affairs III which is a sequel. I’m looking forward to seeing them.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because I of the drooping eyelids am getting sleepy as all get out and I think we all know how sleepy all get out is.
I think I just hypnotized myself. I said, “I’m getting sleepy” and the next thing I knew I was getting sleepy. I wonder if I am now in a hypnotic state, such as California? Let me see – okay, eat a chip. Whoa. I just ate a chip. I must be in a hypnotic state, such as North Dakota. Let’s try it again – okay, write a new paragraph.
Whoa, look at this – I’m writing a new paragraph. I must be in a hypnotic state, such as New Jersey. Where was I? Oh, yes, today I only have to ship one order (a big amazon order) and then I have the whole day for writing. Then at six, I’ll toddle off to Mr. Donald Feltham’s, where we will tape a radio show with Kevin Spirtas, Cason Murphy, and myself. After we finish taping, we’re all going out for a bite to eat.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, write, ship a big order, write, pick up mail, write, and then tape a radio show and then sup. Today’s topic of discussion: Have you ever been in a hypnotic state? If so, tell us all about it. If you haven’t, what are your favorite movies that involve hypnosis? Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I say to myself, myself you are finished writing the new notes. Whoa, look at that – I’m finished writing the new notes.
