Well, dear readers, I shall make these here notes short and sweet and also sweet and short for I must arise at six in the morning to announce the new Kritzerland CD. So, without further ado, the notes. I got up, I did, I went, I this, I that, the end. Only kidding. The day was actually quite a full day. I did a lot of reading and proofing and realized I left out two things that I may or may not add to the book. I’m not sure I need anything else, although one of the two things is interesting and fun, so maybe I’ll just add that, although if I do it requires being added to two different sections. But mostly I’ve been pleased with what I’m reading – I was very concerned that it would be too dry, but I haven’t felt that it’s dry at all – it’s conversational, has humor, and seems to move right along. I see no big cuts to make, and only minor little deletions and word changes, some way too long sentences to adjust, and some grammar to fix. While I was reading and proofing, Mr. Handy Man came and began working on the repaving of the incline leading into the garage. It was mostly just prep work, but he was there for five hours doing it, and he’ll be back at eight this morning to continue. I did a few errands and whatnot, had some bacon and eggs, and did a few things around the home environment. In the early evening, I made a little pasta with red sauce and that was my dinner, which I ate whilst sitting on the couch like so much fish.
Last night, I watched a motion picture on Blu and Ray entitled To Live And Die In LA. This is the third time I’ve seen the film – once when it came out, once on DVD, and now on Blu and Ray. I didn’t like it at all the first time, thought time had been kind to it the second time and that it was much better than I thought, and the third time I can see where it all goes to hell. The first two-thirds of the film are quite good, and the visual look of the film was really influential on subsequent films. But then comes a William Friedkin endless and ridiculous car chase and the movie basically just goes to hell from that point until the end – a shame, as the rest is quite a good little movie. I also think the weird score doesn’t help matters, although I’m sure Mr. Friedkin thought it was nice and hip. The Blu-Ray transfer is really good, with excellent image and sound.
After the movie, I proofed a little more, then listened to some music, took a hot shower, and then managed to actually relax a little.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because these here notes must be short and sweet, which is better than sweet and sour.
Today, as noted in the notes, I shall be up at six to announce our new CD. Mr. Handy Man arrives at eight, Elmer Gantry CDs arrive at nine, and I’ll probably package up at least all the local orders and get them to the post office. All the overseas orders and the large shipments won’t go out until tomorrow, when Cason will be here to help.
Then I have a lunch at Louise’s, at which I must be a good lad and only eat a salad. Then I’ll come home and do some more reading and proofing, after which I shall meet Mr. Barry Pearl to have a sandwich and then see a musical comedy.
Tomorrow, more shipping and then a long visit to the storage facility, as I must find the three boxes of BK memorabilia, which have all the photos and other things I’ll need for the book’s photo sections and cover.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, announce a CD, package up CDs, ship CDs, read and proof, have a lunch meeting, and then see a musical comedy. Today’s topic of discussion: What was the first fancy dress event you ever went to? What was it for, what did you wear, and then what was the fanciest and most hoity-toity event you ever attended in your adult life? Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I put a period to the short and sweet sounds of Ye Olde Notes.
