I'm listening to Jane Siberry's "When I Was Boy". It's only taken me 14 years to discover this!

A friend in Toronto introduced me to her music 20 years ago. "The Speckless Sky" is one of my favorite albums. I introduced my DH to her music and she is now one of his favorites. We were talking about her today, so I happened to look up her website and see that she's coming to Atlanta in October. I've always missed her performances here so we're going to make a point to see her. She's in a tiny club with a good sound system.

I'm not sure what to expect now that she has changed her name to Issa and given away all her worldly goods and gone in a new direction. Her site looks kind of new-age-y. But I'm willing to give Issa a try...

Maybe . . . .maybe not.

RANDOM QUOTES OVERHEARD AT DINNER TONIGHT:

"Where do you get the scrambled brains?"

"My umbrella is NOT pink!!!"

"Well, it DOES match my outfit!"

"MEAT!!!!"

[and not necessarily in that order...]

DR Ben, I got a kick out OF Beverly Humphries giving away tickets to showin Wales by the Hot August Knights, the Neil Diamond cover band. They're from Atlanta, and a very fun band.

My favorite memory of them is going to the birthday party of one of my TNT producers. He donned a wig and performed a duet of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" with "Neil". It was quite touching, actually!

Before I got back to another CHris Marker film, I watched another MURDER SHE WROTE episode. This was the one done as a film noir with Mike Connors providing much of the hardboiled narration and much of the episode filmed in black and white. Other guest stars were Elizabeth Ashley, Andrew Prine, and Ken Swofford.

There was mirth, food, laughter, and legs...

And it was delightful. I even got to meet former DR Noel, although he didn't tag along for dinner.

Thanks to all you DRs!!!! Love yas!

Next, I watched SANS SOLEIL. This was a type of memory book of Marker where he noted images, thoughts, sights, and sounds of four different cultures visited: Japan, Africa, San Francisco (referencing VERTIGO locations), and Iceland. Obviously eclectic, but there were certainly some haunting images (the shocking slaughter of a giraffe is something I know I'll never forget). Probably too long at 103 minutes. I think it could have lost about 20 minutes of footage and been more effective for me.

Ron, I too love BEDROOMS AND HALLWAYS. The scene where Tom Hollander is tied up to the bed and singing "Happy Birthday" makes me laugh so much. Jennifer Ehle is Rosemary Harris' daughter and she and I laughed about the movie while we were recording in 2001.

Next, I watched another featurette on the disc, another video interview of professor Jean-Pierre Gorin discussing SANS SOLEIL. Better than the haphazard interview snippets that accompied LA JETEE, but 17 minutes of discussion where lots of clips interrupt was probably too long for what he had to say.

But where are the photos, DR Singdaw?

WAY past my bedtime...

Smooches, kids!

While I had a problem or two with it, I have also spoken here several times of my liking BEDROOMS & HALLWAYS. Glad to be in such good company.

Well, la di da, I must have forgotten to log out when we left Crystal City at 9am. Has it looked all day as if I were sitting here like so much fish? Sorry!

We did indeed switch to a earlier train, left DC 40 minutes earlier than planned and arrived at Penn Station 20 minutes earlier than planned. From the train I saw:

A snowy egret
A blue heron
Roofers on top of the Philadelphia Museum of Art
Elephants at the Philadelphia Zoo
Lots o' graffitti

We settled into our hotel and met DRs Elmore, MBarnum, and FJL at the Curtains box office, then proceeded to Grand Central and the East Village for Indian food - yum! Dessert at the Australian ice cream place and now we've crashed!

Glad to hear that the NYC HHW gathering was a success!

DR Singdaw, your post about the overheard quotes reminds me of the day that DR Sandra asked folks to post their favorite punchlines. We had a list of punchlines without jokes.

Matt H. · « **Reply #288 on:** June 28, 2007, 08:16:18 PM »

I ended the evening with tonight's THE STARTER WIFE. Very nice resolution of the major conflicts which have carried the series this season. I would certainly love to see more of these characters.

Tomorrow, DR DearReaderLaura, when I can tell one end of my camera cable from the other!

Now, off to bed - 'night!

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #290 on:** June 28, 2007, 08:16:48 PM »

AT least you had a nice journey Ginny! Glad to see you arrived safely in NYC!

I agree Laura, singdaw, where are the pictures

Edisaurus · « **Reply #291 on:** June 28, 2007, 08:17:45 PM »

Also, the star of the documentary about Neil Diamond tribute artists: FEEL NEIL, by a local filmmaker.

Ginny, did you get your manicure?

(I've still never had one, but it's on my "life list"!)

At some point it will happen.

Guess I'll do some writing and then head down to bed.

Good night!

I have driven everyone on two message boards out of their collective minds as reagards this mystery soundtrack I'm trying to identify. We posted the main title track and everyone's got a different opinion about what composer, but no one has come near even suggesting a film.

Give my reagards to Broadway - and give me back my kneeguards.
