Well, dear readers, this week is flying by, like a gazelle interpreting The Dance of the Seven Veils. I myself have just done The Dance of the Five Veils – I feel anything above five veils is a waste veils, if you ask me. Three veils is too few, however, and just doesn’t have enough oomph, veil-wise. One veil, forget it. What the HELL am I going on about? What do veils and the dance of them have to do with the price of fish?
Yesterday was a mostly fascinating day. I got eight hours of sleep, had several fascinating telephonic calls, did some work on the computer, had a very helpful e-mail, printed out more orders and actually got some relaxing in. Of course, I did manage to sit on my couch like so much fish.
Yesterday, I watched another Netflix thing, this a motion picture made in 2010 entitled Columbus Circle, a “thriller.” The film was produced and funded by a man who has some serious allegations against him in terms of thievery as well as having made a fortune in porn. He produced one film prior to this and that one was a huge bomb losing every cent of its $35 million dollar budget. This film cost only $10 million and couldn’t even get a release. It finally went to DVD in 2012. It’s a movie with TWISTS, all of which you can see coming from the first five minutes of the film – literally every single one. Direction is non-existent (you know you’re in the hands of an amateur when every scene is followed by a high shot of the city either at night or day – I have now seen this “device” in eight movies in three days), acting is okay, script is horrible, and it’s eighty-two minutes are excruciatingly long. Other than that, it was fine.
After that, I got ready for the dinner at Genghis Cohen. Kay Cole and her ever-lovin’ Michael Lamont came along, and in attendance were some of our Abner student cast members. It was a fun evening, great food (and did everyone eat a lot – we went through three orders of orange chicken, three crackerjack shrimps, three Kung Pao chicken, and two each of garlic chicken, green beans and one pan-fried noodles with vegetables – whew!), and then some rather illuminating and at times mind-boggling conversation, which is all I’m going to say about that. Suffice it to say, I took notes and it’s all down on paper now. After that, I came home, had yet more long telephonic conversations, and that was that.
Today, I have a lunch meeting at a nearby Thai restaurant, then I’ll hopefully pick up some packages, then I’ll come home and do some work on the computer. I may or may not try to figure out a song to replace one that we were thinking of doing for the Kritzerland show. I’m on the fence – in fact, I’m on the fence doing The Dance of the Seven Veils with Five Veils. I also felt that Eddie would have been better off with the Five Little Foys, but that’s another story.
The rest of the week is meetings and meals, maybe seeing a show or two, a Saturday morning breakfast meeting and then a bunch of other stuff.
We will also be preparing a follow-up letter that will include everything that I’ve learned subsequent to the first letter being sent, and that is a lot of important stuff.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, have a lunch meeting (I’m giving an interview for the LACC Foundation magazine), hopefully pick up packages, work, try to find another song, and then relax. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Ask BK Day, the day in which you get to ask me or any dear reader any old question you like and we get to give any old answer we like. So, let’s have loads of lovely questions and loads of lovely answers and loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, where I shall also do the Dance of the Seven Veils with Five Veils.
