Ginny, are you having a big retirement dinner?  Or a tea?  Or possibly a kegger?

My department is having a reception for me on Dec. 15.  It will be in the Auditorium where I do most of my programs and we've invited the entire Library staff as well as some of my nonprofit contacts from the outside.

Will that be an afternoon affair?

According to Facebook, DR Ann is now officially sick. 

Physically, or mentally?

True enough.  Some might cite that as proof positive

I am sick, I'm afraid.  By the time I left work yesterday, which turned out to be a 6:30-6:30 day, due to a staff meeting, I was almost delirious with illness and lack of sleep.  By 8:30 I was sound asleep in my recliner with Toby on my chest.  I slept there until almost midnight, when DH Jed finally felt compelled to wake me up and take me upstairs.  I slept fitfully from that point on.  Toby was stuffed up too, and kept waking up crying unable to breathe right.  As for me, my throat is still sore, I'm stuffed up, and I have a mean sinus headache.  I can't take any antihistamines, either, because it'll dry up my milk supply.  Saltwater up the nose is helping a bit. 
So baby and I are curled up in our chair,  doing very little today, trying to get better.  I will have to go to the store at some point, though. 

but enough about me -

Mega vibes to all!

I just finished watching the 1931 D.W. Griffith film THE STRUGGLE. Years ago I interviewed Zita Johann, the lead actress in this film. She told me she thought the movie was great, but nobody else did. Griffith by this time was considered old hat and his films were rather old fashioned. The reviews were bad.

I enjoyed the movie (it is about alcoholism), but it was indeed old fashioned, by 1931 standards even. However, Zita and the guy who played her alcoholic husband were very good in it.

Alas I am going to make one last sweep with the lawnmower and then clean out the gutters. The sun is out and I had best take advantage of the nice day (although it is very, very cold out).

I am back from various drivings about in my motor car and I have the home environment to myself.  I'm playing the last of the Oscar Peterson CDs I got the other day.  Very enjoyable.

Trying to figure out what I should like to eat this day.

MACKLE MABEL

I'm back from DOSTANA, a sex farce about as long as IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD and about half as funny. It could have lost an hour and I would have been happier since the screenplay is filled with needless subplots - such as the leading lady inviting her gay boss to meet her gay roommates - that go nowhere. I also suspect GLAAD will be unhappy with its stereotypes of all gay men as nelly screamers, although the film is very positive about being gay, but it's also a bit smarmy, reminding me of the worst moments of CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC. Also, for a sex comedy with a lot of near nudity, with lots of shots of boobs and male and female derrieres, it sure avoids any male crotch shots. For all the near nudity of John Abraham and his awesome body, he's either photographed from the back or from the waist up; he could be neuter.

The film's about two Indian men in Miami FL who pretend to be a gay couple to move into an apartment with a beautiful, single 27 year-old Indian woman. For a while I thought the film could be called HAROLD AND KUMAR LIKE IT HOT or SOME LIKE IT BOLLYWOOD and the one man would turn out to be actually gay, but the film kind of went in all directions and ended rather unsatisfactorily, to my thinking. There are subplots about a gay boss, not telling your mother you're gay, filing for US residency as a gay couple and the nelly queen in the government who's investigating the claim, and many musical numbers. There was a funny musical number involving Sam's mother and her disappointment to learn her son is gay, but I suspect that the first 10 minutes of watching Mr Abraham in his speedos and briefs will send DR MBarnum into a coma and he will never see the other 140 minutes of the film.

I have known Oscar Peterson's widow for over thirty years.  I turned down an invitation from Oscar and Kelly to attend what turned out to be his last performance in Seattle.

BK, I knew George Cosmatos.  Our mutual agent set up a lunch for us once.  He was a big book collector and I used to see him at all the LA book fairs.  He was also part of the DeLaurentiis repertory company when I was so, we see each other a lot at Raffaella's house.  George was a very opinionated, but also very endearing, fellow.  He hit with one of the RAMBO movies; but probably his best movie was TOMBSTONE which he inherited after writer Kevin Jarre got fired off it as director.  George was pretty much a reliable workhorse director.

Just now eating my lunch.  Fortunately we have had many consumers today.  But now there is a lull.

DR ELMORE all Bollywood movies are as long as It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.....

I've always enjoyed Cosmatos' work, actually.

I've been having a fun little e-mail volley with my close personal friend, Mr. Stephen Sondheim, about various and sundried things.
