My work is done, for now, just like George Bush is for now

I also shall meander up to the TKTS booth and see if a half price ticket for tonight's performance of Equus is available.

And now my work is really done.

I wonder if my episode of Angie is on YouTube.

I'm going to write for a bit and then head down to check the mail and then start thinking about what's for lunch.

FJL, that ANGIE theme song is one of my favorites!

And ANGIE herself, Donna Pescow, will be at this October's RAY COURTS HOLLYWOOD SHOW.

Der Brucer, SPEED RACER was actually a Japanese cartoon show in the 1960s that was very popular in the U.S. when I was a kid.

I think he may have already known that. I know I did.

I'll have to say hey to Donna.

And the word of the day is: VENTRIPOTENT!

Sounds like Viagra for ventriloquists.

DR JMK, it sounds like you've moved WAY up the list of reviewers at your site from when you first started since it seems you're getting a lot of high profile titles that you weren't getting a few months ago. Congratulations on that.

I have a very full plate, too, and I don't mind being so busy and not having a lot of time to watch things for fun. I just hate my time being taken up with crappy stuff. I've got a movie coming up with Danny McBride that looks ridiculous, but there it is.

I guess they all can't be Criterion Collection selections.

I think it's luck more than anything, LOL. DVDTalk doesn't work like HTF--there's no "assigned studio" to any one reviewer. A lot of what I get I select myself from the screener pool that's kind of first come first served. That said, I have been there over a year now, so maybe they know I can write a mostly comprehensible sentence. I get the feeling I'm one of the older reviewers there, so perhaps they're deferring to the "old man".

Well, the exterminator did not show up between 9:00am and 11:00am as "forecasted", but he did show up between 11:05am and 11:10am, so...

I need to putter around here for a bit, but then I think I'm going to head back down to MoMA - yes, again! - to get one more glimpse or two of the Van Gogh exhibit since it's the last day is the last day of Members Only Previews. And then it looks like it's a good day for a bit of wandering and wondering around the City.

I just looked at the list for the Hollywood Collector's Show - he must have really had a wake-up call, because he's really loaded up the celebs this time with many who've never done the show before, including Leslie Nielsen and other really popular folks. Unfortunately, it's October 4th, the same day as my book signing and reading. Of course, people can go there in the morning, do the ten-minute drive over to the signing and go right back, not that there will be many of my people at the show, save for Druxy who is wrangling Roger Corman. I might go over there after the signing, but I also have an event to go to that night, so unless I go at eleven, hang out, and then go to the signing, I won't be there at all on Saturday. And knowing me, I'll have to at least read through the portions I'll be reading at the signing and I won't have the patience to visit the show. So, it's Sunday for me.

Also in attendance, Barbara Steele, Pogue's pal Denny Miller, Linda Gray, Cynthia Gibb (reason enough to go), and many, many other interesting folks.

...And I'm off.

*But some of you already knew that.

I am sorry to say I don't know any of those people, with the exception of Leslie Nielson, who lives in Phoenix and does commercials for a local credit union.

I have two unsolicited DVD recommendations, the aforementioned Speed Racer on Blu-Ray, which, if you've been wondering what the HD fuss is all about will show you in spades, and then some. But also my highest recommendation goes out for the really stunning and at times infuriating documentary Breaking the Maya Code by David Lebrun. Even if you don't have any particular interest in the subject, you'll find it fascinating.

Awaiting the arrival of she of the Evil Eye so I can begin my jog.

DR Michael S, I enjoyed the story of your speech presentation. Thank goodness you broke my rule of catching every red light when I’m late, and every green light when I’m early.

Monday will you be delivering it without the speech without room for constructive criticism?

Ginny · « **Reply #54 on:** September 20, 2008, 09:14:22 AM »

It has been a morning of reference-librarian h*** and I'm glad to be eating cheese & crackers and grapes here at my desk.

Salads?

The greatest salad in the history of the world no longer exists.

It was the original Cobb Salad, created by The Brown Derby restaurant which, sadly, no longer exists either.

Yes, you can find the Cobb Salad listed on the menus of many restaurants, but they are not the same.

Nobody makes the Cobb Salad like they did at The Brown Derby.

Speaking of "Enter Laughing" the movie, I urge all Hainsies and Kimlets in the New York area to see "Enter Laughing" the musical at the York Theatre. It just extended its run by two weeks (late October) but there is another show coming in after that so unless it moves or returns in January, that could be your last chance. It got a rave in the Times, 4* in the Post and great reviews from other publications and internet sites and is one of the funniest musicals I have ever seen. For a 25% discount, use the code DAVID (although I don't know if that code is good for the extension).

Hi WEL, wish I could go. This is such a nice time of year to visit NY, alas we aren't going anywhere.
