Well, dear readers, the good news is that after taking a Pepcid and a Nexium pill I had not an ounce of heartburn or acid reflux and got a wonderful ten hours of blessed sleep. So, I’ll keep up the Nexium on a daily basis. I’m also diligently only having one and a half Diet Cokes a day and drinking at least a bottle and a half of water. I’m sure that helps, too.
Yesterday was quite an ordinary day of doing ordinary things ordinarily. So, I answered e-mails, I had some telephonic conversations, and then I wrote over half the Kritzerland show commentary. Normally I have all show songs so the fun facts and arcane information is fun to assemble into a commentary and none of it is hard to find. This show is very different and so some of the songs have almost no information on their history – but I found ways around that and ended up being able to have just as many fun and arcane bits as I do with our usual shows. After finishing the first half, I went and had a breakfast burrito for my meal o’ the day. Then I came back home and wrote more of the commentary and then I sat on my couch like so much fish.
Last night, I finished watching the new Blu and Ray of Cat Ballou – the movie is still very funny, especially Lee Marvin, and Jane Fonda at that point in her career was a wonderful comic actress and very endearing. Stubby Kaye and Nat King Cole are great as the balladeers. The transfer shines and sparkles and has plenty of blue. After that, I watched another motion picture on Blu-ray entitled You’ll Like My Mother. I’d never seen it before but had always assumed it was one of those Universal TV movies from the early 70s, only apparently it wasn’t even though that’s exactly what it seems like. It stars Patty Duke, Rosemary Murphy, Richard Thomas, and Sian Barbara Allen, who worked quite a bit in the 1970s when all of us kids were working a lot. It’s a rather silly thriller – one person on the imdb said it’s really bloody – interesting comment since there is not one drop of blood anywhere. You wonder if people are either nuts or they’re just remembering seeing it when they were five and they thought they saw lots of blood. The transfer looks like a typical Universal TV movie of that era – everyone involved on the tech end is from Universal TV – perhaps it was filmed as a TV movie and then perhaps they thought it too intense or “adult” for TV and released it as a feature.
After that, I finished writing the commentary, which took up the rest of the evening. I ate some low-cal Bonbel cheese bits for my evening snack along with some Good and Fruity bits and then a bagel I’d brought home from Jerry’s Deli.
Today, I shall catch up on other things, I’ll hopefully pick up some packages, do some other writing, and then I’ll be supping with the Pearls and Kay Cole before seeing the show Kay’s directed and choreographed, I Only Have Eyes For You.
The rest of the week is meetings and meals, and I have to have a work session with our musical director. I may be seeing another show, and I may be dining out at some point.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, catch up on things, hopefully pick up packages, write, sup, and attend a show. 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, happy to have hopefully ridden myself of the dreaded heartburn.
