Well, you've read the notes, the notes were live from Portland and had stories, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having electrolysis and will be home soon thereafter.
-
And the word of the day is: ALCHEMICAL!
-
And now, as promised, the new Kritzerland release, which I'm posting here a day earlier than usual to give everyone a good head start on it. You know the routine - it's 19.98 plus 3.75 shipping (23.73) via paypal to kritzerland at adelphia dot net.
IF YOU’VE GOT A TASTE FOR TERROR… TAKE CARRIE TO THE PROM
Kritzerland is proud to present a very special and historic 2 CD limited edition soundtrack release – for the first time ever, the complete score to:
Carrie
Music Composed and Conducted by Pino Donaggio
In 1976, director Brian De Palma had already established a reputation as a cult director of such films as Greetings, Hi, Mom, and more importantly, Sisters, Phantom of the Paradise, and Obsession. But it was his film of Stephen King’s classic, best-selling first novel, Carrie, that would catapult him into major director status. Many directors have tackled Stephen King, including King himself, all to varying degrees of success, but Carrie is the film that leads the pack.
De Palma got everything right – the casting (an amazing group of actors, including Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, William Katt, John Travolta, Nancy Allen, P.J. Soles, and Betty Buckley), the adaptation by Lawrence D. Cohen, the art direction (Jack Fisk and Bill Kenney), camerawork (Mario Tosi), editing (Paul Hirsch) – everything just came together magically and perfectly. The film works so well because there is not only great horror (as to be expected), but also a large helping of emotion and pathos (thanks to Sissy Spacek’s affecting and brilliant performance as Carrie). There is a depth to the characterizations that elevate the film way beyond a simple scary movie. The film also has a sly sense of humor and it’s just fun in a way horror films seldom are – thrills, chills, laughs, and one of the most amazing jump-out-of-your seat scares in the history of cinema.
Horror films are rarely nominated for Academy Awards, but Carrie was one of the exceptions with Sissy Spacek getting a Best Actress nod and Piper Laurie getting one for Best Supporting Actress. Over the years, the film has never lost on iota of its popularity, thanks to numerous releases on every home video format, most recently on blu-ray.
Of all the decisions De Palma made, one of the most important was choosing Pino Donaggio as composer. De Palma had used Bernard Herrmann on two of his films – Sisters and Obsession, but Herrmann had passed away in 1975. In 1976, Donaggio only had one major film to his credit, but his score to that film was masterful – Nicholas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now. However De Palma came to choose Donaggio, it was a perfect marriage of composer and film. Donaggio’s score hits all the right notes – he brings out every emotion and all the subtext, with great suspense and horror music, plaintive and yearning music for the character of Carrie, two songs for the prom sequence (with lyrics by Merritt Malloy) that help make that sequence so magical and memorable, and light and infectious music for the calisthenics sequence and the scene at the tux shop. It is, in fact, a perfect score, a masterpiece of film scoring, with unforgettable themes that capture every nuance of the film.
United Artists released the soundtrack album on LP. It was an odd presentation in that almost all of the music was from the film’s second half, save for the main title sequence (which was repeated verbatim at the end of the album). The album ran thirty-five minutes. That LP was released twice on CD – first by Ryko (with dialogue snippets included to pad out the running time), and then by Varese Sarabande (with the dialogue snippets gone). Ryko used the album master, and the Varese was a clone of the Ryko release (the pop songs used in the film were not available to them or to us).
For this very special release, we are pleased to say that our detective work paid off in spades – we found 13 reels of the original four-track session masters and they included the entire score, about twenty-five minutes of never-before-released score cues. Since both film and score are iconic, it was the greatest kind of discovery we could have made. This is a completely different mix than the original album, as groups of instruments were put on separate tracks to give the film mixers options for balance. We’ve created a stereo mix from the four tracks, and the fidelity on the tapes was really incredible.
So, it is with great pleasure that we offer for the first time the complete score to Carrie in film order. We also found two instrumentals of the songs, which we’ve included as bonus tracks. Additionally, on CD 2 we offer the original album sequence and mix, newly remastered for this release.
This release is limited to 1200 copies only. The price of this special 2 CD set is our usual one CD price – $19.98, plus shipping. Additionally, we are offering a special deal with the purchase of this release. Go to the item page and click on the link to find out about it.
CD will ship the third week of December – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

What DR George said :)

A friend of mine posted this joke on Facebook and I just had to share:
A tomato family is walking down the road, baby tomato falls behind, daddy tomato goes back smacks her on the head and says "Ketchup!"
:D

Carrie is ordered.
Lovely photos from the do last night, and hopefully we will see photos from the gathering this evening.
Apologies to DR JOHNG for not reading closely enough.....the photos were indeed lovely.....just like the ones DR LAURA takes....whew!
-
Working today. Oh well.
The Nightmare on Elm Street movies scared me.......but I guess Psycho is the one of the scariest movies EVER!
-
Saturday morning greetings! Today is DR Richard's birthday, so we're going to The Meadows for dinner. Tomorrow we're taking Central Pastry orange chiffon cake for after-church coffee hour.
Lovely pictures of last night's gathering in Portland - I'm so glad DR Jane is there and DR George and the others. Have fun, y'all!

Break a leg vibes for BK for tonight's event!

I had a publicity client in CARRIE: Sydney Lassick.
He was also in ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST.

Both excellent examples of how to scare you with out explicit violence. Atmopshere (Photography, editing and sound) and great performances.
and of course
The Exorcist

Morning, all.

Watching "The Harder They Fall" this morning. It's a litle too early for a movie this good, but the subject matter is so depressing that I wanted to not watch it at the end of the day. The reggae music is great, however.

Happy Birthday to DR Ginny's husband Richard!
Great pics from Portland! Sounds like fun.

I am having the strangest problem with gmail. I received an email that had a message and pictures in it (the pictures appear in the email on top). When i forward the message I do not see the pictures. I have tried forwarding it and replying. Very bizarre.
-
Good morning, al! I slept late, until around 8:15, and I am showered, dressed and ready for my second cup of coffee. At 2 I have a meeting about this Appalachian Christmas project, so I'll spend the morning typing lyrics to Victor Herbert songs for the recording's print work.
Beyond that, I have next to no plans. When I return from the meeting, I may watch a DVD, perhaps LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, since the topic is scary movies today.
Last night's gathering looks like fun. I was surprised, though, there were no ham chunks next to the pineapple in one of the photos.
CARRIE ordered.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO FATHER RICHARD
-
Lovely butterfly pictures yesterday John!
-
Last night the Vixter went to see the Scottsboro Boys
-
She says that thw show and the music was very moving
she promised to come by later and tell all about it
-
Richard and I just returned from a 27.5 minute walk around the neighborhood and he says THANK YOU to DRs Jennifer, Cillaliz, and Vixmom for the birthday wishes!
-
Oy and vey do I look widescreen in those pics. I firmly believe I'm not quite that fat. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
-
Of course when standing next to the extremely svelte BK and Jane one looks pudged by comparison.
-
Jane is still asleep, or at the very least has not dared to come upstairs yet. :)
-
A very happy haineshisway.com birthday to Richard.
-
I don't know how long I slept - the pillows here are not my faves but I'm sure I slept some - at about seven the person next to me showered - it sounded like the shower was in HERE. So, I've just been in bed but not sleeping.
-
But, I'm up now, baby.
-
Thank you, BK!
-
I must have thrown away my travel toothbrush last trip so I have to go buy one now.
-
In addition to Richard's birthday, today begins our family festive season. Two weeks from today is my mother's birthday, 4 weeks from today is mine, and 6 weeks from today is
CHRISTMAS!
Scattered in there are lots of birthdays among friends and extended family and the 10th wedding anniversary of our niece Rev. Amy and her DH Ken.
And 7 weeks from today it will be 2011 - but who's counting?

The Oaf was up at 6am, tromping about with quite a lot of endless shuffling. Then, around 10am, he was dropping heavy objects onto the floor. It could be trunks or cartons, if he's really beginning to pack up things, but I still think it's cases of drugs and lethal weapons.

Have a million things to do today, so I had best get started doing them...then I will hie myself up to Portland and see BK's show....I think some of us may be getting together for some dinner before the show, I hope.
-
HAP-HAP SLAP HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RICHARD
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it looks like someone tried to break in to our building last night. The glass on the security door is broken, and there are shards of glass in the foyer. -And since there was an "incident" two nights ago just two blocks from here, well... :-\
-
In other news...
I left my apartment yesterday some time around 12:15pm. Due to various appointments and detours, I did not get back to my apartment until 12:15am. And by that time, I was feeling a bit run, so I went right to bed... And eight and a half hours later... -Which probably explains why I slept through the glass being broken. ???
-
bk - Glad to hear that you made it safe and sound to Portland!
-
DR JMK - Thanks for posting the pics from last night's dinner.
*Btw - Tina Paradiso - Wow! I haven't heard that name in a while! My friend, Elinore O'Connell, was the Fantine in the L.A. company of Les Miz.
-
DR George - Thanks for posting your pics from last night's soirée.

DR elmore - At least yesterday's session was not a total bust. And now you get a little break, and have plenty of time to prep for the final sessions.
-
Yes, we talked about Elinore.
-
Back from Rite-Aid with a toothbrush and some Ricolas. I'm a little nervous to do dinner before the show - I don't like to eat before a show and also I have to take it easy on my voice, especially if I'm singing. So, I may tag along or not - but I'm hoping we can all go out afterwards for a brief foodfest.

BEFORE the show? What time? Where? Can I meet at JMK's house and follow? Inquiring minds from Tumwater, Washington want to know!!
-
Last night the Vixter went to see the Scottsboro Boys
Cool! I ordered the CD but it hasn't arrived yet.
-
JMK and Jane are on their way here and I'll ask him and have him get hold of you.

Topic of the Day:
Carrie
The Exorcist (I saw this in the theater when it was remastered and re-released...very cool)
Psycho
The Shining
The Sixth Sense

Well, I need to take a shower and get myself to work. I have to start cleaning up my former cubicle so that my replacement can make it her own cubicle...she's starting on Monday.
I'll be able to check in here when I'm at work and I'll have my phone with me, too.
Until later!
-
And it was very nice to see that DR Jane made the trip to Portland too! :)

It feels like Spring here in NYC today. Sunny and temps in the mid-60s. Alas, I also think my "Spring allergies" are also acting up today too. Meh.

T.O.D.
THE INNOCENTS

Those are the only two I can think of, at the moment.

How are you feeling today, DR TCB?
Well, my ear doesn't hurt today, but I still can't hear out of it. I am going to go out to lunch with a friend, and I will pretend that I am in Portland at The Gathering.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DH RICHARD!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DH RICHARD!
Ginny's husband, not mine.

Great photos from last evening. Everyone there looked faboo!
-
Jane looks even younger and prettier than when I met her.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
"Poltergeist"
"The Amityville Horror" - the original
"The Exorcist" - Although, after hearing the real story from Sister Mary Gregory in 7th Grade, it's always been more of a "based on a true story" movie to me.
-
Jane looks even younger and prettier than when I met her.
Jane also deserves a Tony nomination for Best Actress. I knew she was going to Portland, but she had me convinced from her posts that she wasn't going.
-
And now...
Well...
I'm kind of surprised that the landlord has not sent someone over to board up the front door by now. :-\
-
PAGE FOUR!

Jose, did you play any auditions for a BEAUTY AND THE BEAST tour in the last few weeks?

~~~~~RAVING IN THE KNAVE VIBES FOR BK AND DR JMK~~~~~
-
TCB, sorry that I won't get to see you tonight at the Portland gathering. :(
-
Just talked to DR Jane and DR JMK. We will be going out for eating purposes before the show...and then possibly after the show. I am up for that as I am certain that I will be hungry at both times.
-
Looking very forward to seeing DRs JMK, DH Betsy and the kids, DR Jane, DR George and, of course, Mr. BK himself.
-
I have vacuumed and must go throw my laundry in the dryer.
-
Thanks for the birthday wishes for my DH, DR TCB!
-
Happy birthday to Ginny's DH Richard!
-
Many thanks for watching, and commenting, to George, Jeanne, TCB, and vixmom
Thanks to Laura for trying to watch.
And the folks at the Arena Stage even embedded the video on their Facebook page at 11:33 yesterday (Friday)

Jrand - Just saw your comment on the YouTube screen - thanks to you, too!
-
It's a lovelier than lovely Saturday afternoon. Hope it is lovely for everyone.
-
Hello, everyone.
Vibes of safety and comfort to DR JOSE! My impression was that they didn't actually succeed in getting inside. Is that right?
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to DR GINNY'S DH RICHARD!
-
Vibes to TCB. I am concerned about your ear. Is there one of those walk-in clinics near you? They're usually open on weekends. I like to know there's one nearby--just in case. Please keep us posted.
-
Thanks for the pics! Everyone looks great. BK looks relaxed and contented.
-
Jane, what a clever girl you are! And what a wonderful surprise for Bruce! I'm so glad you could make it up there.
-
Vibes to BK for a great rave tonight.
-
Thanks, DRs FJL and Jeanne!
-
Had a fun morning and early afternoon. JMK and I went to Powell's and some music store, while Betsy and Jane went to meet a friend of Jane's at Nordstrom. I made a little purchase at Powell's and JMK made a little purchase at the music store. We all convened there and had some tea. I bought a couple of really nice sweaters - the kind I haven't been able to find in LA, so that's nice.
-
Now I'll relax until we all meet for an early dinner at four. I'll eat VERY lightly then, and then I'll go out after with whoever wants to tag along.
-
Darn...I won't be able to make it to Portland by 4:00. :-\ I'd have to leave right now and I'm not done at work, yet. But I'd love to go out afterward.
-
And so we will!
-
Really glad everyone is having fun in Portland
-
I went shopping today. They were having a big sale event at Coldwater Creek (my favorite store). There was a jacket I really liked the last time I was in there, but decided not to spend the money. Today I got it for just about half price! I got another jacket that wasn't on sale and 2 turtleneck sweaters that were also on sale just about as much off. I smiled a lot about that. Then it was off to Sam's club to look at tvs for my new room. I also got a few things I had been thinking about when I was at Sams in SF with mom. I got her a couple presents too. She is a self professed Snickers-aholic so I got her a plastic container with 90 mini bars in it!
-
I'm making turkey roast tonight. I'm also going to make mashed potatoes and some stove top stuffing. I also made the mandarin orange/ pineapple/ marshmallow/sour cream salad. Can you say comfort food?
-
Sounds like a productive shopping day, DR Cillaliz! I need to shop for some new clothes, especially pants because most of mine are looking like clown pants already. And I lo-o-o-ove Coldwater Creek, too!
-
They are having a One Creek event today. 35% off your total order. And there were a lot of mark downs. I was amazed at how much I saved. Man, I LOVE a sale!! :D
-
I'm having fun watching the cats today. They all three follow me wherever I go. Ricky is just cruising for a bruising everywhere he goes. He taunts them and they smack him, then he dances past them. He is SOOO like a jr. high school boy teasing his sisters. It really makes me laugh
-
I've shaved. Next stop: Shower, but not for an hour - I always leave an hour before I shower. I was thinking of wearing one of my new sweaters this very evening but then I'd have to go back to the store and buy a shirt. They had one Armani shirt that I absolutely loved, but it was three hundred dollars or something like that, which I found more than a little nutty.
-
We are going out for Richard's birthday dinner soon. Hope everyone in Portland has a great time tonight - looking forward to reports and photos!
Bye for now!
-
Ich hasse deutsche Lyriken schreiben! Zu viele Umlaute amd Wörter, die nirgendwo wie Sie gehen, wünschen sie zu, wie Mainachttraum. Oy!

Happy, happy, Richard.
-
Great photos, George. Thanks for sharing. Looks like it was a fun evening.
-
I've retunred from a long afternoon meeting that was quite profitable; I think this show is getting some shape and could be interesting. I need to rsearch Appalachoan folksongs tonight about the hardships of the area, from black lung and the coal mines to the poverty and loneliness of the mountains. I want something strong to be the reality behind a family Christmas celebration of fun, games, and religion.
-
I hope everyone in the HHW northwest clan has a wonderful time tonight. I'm sorry, DR TCB, that you can't join everyone.
We want lots of photos!
-
The cat's in the bag....literally. Boo is in the bag. Ricky is in the cube. They sat like that for at least 15 minutes without making a sound. It made me laugh
-
Vibes for a very successful Rave in the Nave....I too hope to see many photos!
-
I am going to go eat now!
-
Can't wait to read about the Portland happenings.
-
I am going to make mashed potatoes now. I can smell the turkey roast and it smells really good.!
-
I shall now be on my way downstairs to wait for JMK and group - we'll go have something light to eat, then it's on to the venue.

No, they aren't the same. I made a Jenny O Turkey Roast, it's just meat in a tin pan. the one I bought looks like this but it's 1/2 dark meat and 1/2 white meat
-
I'm all alone....well all alone with three cats....with three cats, one is rarely all alone...
-
We are back from a lovelier than lovely birthday dinner at The Meadows. Richard had a NY strip steak, Rob had fried oysters, Mom had shrimp salad, and I had beef tips (my second choice - they were out of salmon). We ran into DR Elmore's friend Loyce and had a little chat.
-

Is Coldwater Creek a women's clothing store? I think they are the ones that send me all of the emails about various sales.
-
I had the greatest time at Comic Con today.
I sold more books in one day than I have ever sold anywhere.
And, not just the memoir. I had 5 different titles with me and sold 2 of them out completely.
I am a very happy camper.
:)
-
Back again tomorrow.

I watched a very strange movie this afternoon. CIRQUE DU FREAKS; THE VAMPIRE'S ASSISTANT
Very very strange, but I guess I really enjoyed it. It is apparently based on Part One of yet another, vampire trilogy.

I prefer the all-white turkey roast. However, since Safeway started carrying baked turkey breasts in their deli, I don't buy the roasts very often.

GREAT! I was looking for the "like" button to click, but forgot where I was :)
-
Yes, DR TCB, Coldwater Creek (http://www.coldwatercreek.com) sells women's clothes and accessories. I've shopped there since it was just a catalog store based in Sandpoint, Idaho. They now have stores all over, including an outlet store at the outlet mall that's about an hour from our home.
-
Does anyone have a tv with internet apps? It would be a huge pain to put cable in the room I want to do, so I'm thinking about one of the tvs with wireless so it could connect to my internet connection and an internal antenna. then I could watch the netflix movies and get my local channels without cable in that room.
-
Oh Ginny! I'd love to go to a Coldwater outlet store
-

Very very strange, but I guess I really enjoyed it. It is apparently based on Part One of yet another, vampire trilogy.
When I first switched to the channel, the movie was being shown on HBO Spanish language channel. I thought it was some strange Spanish film, until I realized that the lead actor was John C. Reilly.
-
I really hate the style right now, where you wear your clothes a size too small. Like the lady in the red sweater on the coldwater creek website. I want to say, you should try the next size....and by the way, tuck your shirt in, it's sticking out underneath your jacket

Is Coldwater Creek a women's clothing store? I think they are the ones that send me all of the emails about various sales.
Yes. you can see the webpage at www.coldwatercreek.com
That would be the one. I don't know how they got my e-mail address, probably from when I started getting that subscription to Bride's Magazine.
-
I really hate the style right now, where you wear your clothes a size too small. Like the lady in the red sweater on the coldwater creek website. I want to say, you should try the next size....and by the way, tuck your shirt in, it's sticking out underneath your jacket
Last weekend, when I went to visit my cousin; I wore the sweatshirt I got on the Titanic Expedition. My cousin, who is also a Titanic freak, accused me of weatring the shirt because I was being a showoff about having been to the site. I said, "Hell no. I am showing off that I can still wear a sweatshirt that I bought fourteen years ago."
-
Congratulations DR Druxy for the book sales today.
-
Yay, Druxy!
-
Oh Ginny! I'd love to go to a Coldwater outlet store
Well, it's about halfway between here and Columbus. In fact, I just had to discard a blazer that I bought there 10 years ago on my way to a library conference. I remember when it was because I'd sit in my hotel room and watch the 2000 election fiasco unfold during lunch breaks and in the evenings.
-
I didn't even know those turkey roasts existed. I have never seen that before. I wonder if they sell that here.
-
Has anyone ever heard of a TV series called LEGEND OF THE SEEKER? It apparently ran only two seasons, but I have never heard of it. Both seasons are available for $17.97 during this 50% off sale.
-
Thank you for Richard's birthday wish, DR John G!
-
I just spent an hour preparing batter for 2 batches of banana muffins/breads and one batch of blueberry muffins.
I thought I would make the batter tonight and then bake them tomorrow.
But now I'm pooped.
-
DR Druxy also had a productive day - congratulations!
-
I guess I should probably sign off and stop bothering everyone.
G'night!

I've never heard of it but I just found this blurb:

Millions of readers the world over have been held spellbound by this valiant tale vividly told. Now, enter Terry Goodkind's world, the world of The Sword of Truth. In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help...and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence. In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahl...

Happy Birthday to Father Richard!

I'm going to go watch THE CLOSER from this week. We are currently in the middle of season 5.
Then I am going to watch AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL. Since I don't get the CW it airs here on Saturdays at 10pm (which doesn't really matter except for the finale).
-
DR TCB, I can't imagine who you are bothering....I'm always glad to see you!
-
Congrats to DR DRUXY on his success.....
-
DR TCB - I don't know from that tv show either.....but if I see a full season of shows on DVD tossed in a bin for $5 - I usually buy it.

I wonder how many Halloween smarties make one real chocolate bar. I was going to ask anyone if they knew how many smarties there were in a regular size packet. But then I just realized that nobody here probably even knows what smarties are. Which is very weird to me because it is one of the most popular chocolates in Canada. It's basically like M+Ms, except all different colors and not as round. I love these.
The little Halloween packs have 10-11 in each one. So I figure if I eat 3 or4 it must be similar to a regular size box. :)
-
Nice Kat Photos, DR CILLA LIZ.....LOL....no with cats, one is never alone.
Merlin the Magick Kat was bothered by lots of children in the store today. He eventually walked away and hid in the back room with the paper bags and Valentine's Day decorations. He came out about closing time, so I gave him some Meow Mix Treats to make his day better. He was glad when I turned off the lights, closed the door and left.....
-
Well the Rave in Nave starring MR BK with plenty of HHW'ers in the audience should be starting in about 90 minutes or so. They might still be noshing somewhere.
I am sure many names are being mentioned.
-
I really hate the style right now, where you wear your clothes a size too small. Like the lady in the red sweater on the coldwater creek website. I want to say, you should try the next size....and by the way, tuck your shirt in, it's sticking out underneath your jacket
Well some people have to wear their clothes a size too small. :)
I feel like I must look like this with some of my fitted coats. Unless my bust grew I feel like a few of my stylish ones are quite fitted.
-
Men's Finals of some kind in the sport of Ice Skating from PORTLAND is taking place on NBCUS in thirty minutes.

Early wake-up for me in the morning, so - 'night!

That's different from spending a lot of money on new clothes that look too small... many of my clothes are too tight right now too, but I didn't buy them that way
-
Same thing happened to me DR CILLA LIZ! The exact SAME THING!
-
It's not me that got big - it's the clothes that got small. Yeah, that's what i'm saying from now on.

Good Evening!
Warm Chocolate Pudding with Bacon Crême Anglaise.

That is all.

The cat's in the bag....literally. Boo is in the bag. Ricky is in the cube. They sat like that for at least 15 minutes without making a sound. It made me laugh
;D

Ich hasse deutsche Lyriken schreiben! Zu viele Umlaute amd Wörter, die nirgendwo wie Sie gehen, wünschen sie zu, wie Mainachttraum. Oy!
Vielen Dank. Aber, was ist LOL auf Deutsch?
Was ist das, Fisch?

Vibes of safety and comfort to DR JOSE! My impression was that they didn't actually succeed in getting inside. Is that right?
DR Jeanne - I hope not. It looks like they might have broken the glass in order to reach inside and open the door. ??? However, the landlord checked with everyone in the building, and no one reported anything suspicious last night. Frankly, I think it might have been one of the teenage kids of the tenant on the fourth floor. They tend to really "like" their weekends, if you get my drift.

It's the lastest style, didn't you know?

Just took brownies out of the oven...the house smells really good
-
Have decided to introduce brownies to ice cream. I think they may get along really well.
-
I spent the evening watching the Swedsh film Let The Right One In, which I enjoyed, but not so much as the book. The film is stylish and elegant with jabs of violence and blood, but it also omitted completely one of the book's sequences involving a major character's becoming a vampire and the situation's relationship to a police detective investigating the murders. In fact, the police detective is completely missing from the film.
Still, the cast is excellent and I found it interesting putting people and places into th context of what I'd read.
-
And tonight's bad news: my bathroom sink has a bad leak and I don't know when I can ask the super to come in and take care of it.
-
I had the greatest time at Comic Con today.
I sold more books in one day than I have ever sold anywhere.
And, not just the memoir. I had 5 different titles with me and sold 2 of them out completely.
I am a very happy camper.
:)
Glad to learn that since I stood you up.
-
Bacon Creme Anglaise? Sounds delicious, DR Jose. Reminds me of the Candied Bacon Apple Pie I made last year. It's about time for another.
-
Night, all.

Congratulations on selling out so many books, DR Druxy!
-
Happy Birthday to our Resident Rev.!
-
DR Laura - love the quote...but you know what they say...you'll be hungry again in just a couple hours.
-
We had a large and appreciative audience for BK, many laughs were had, and BK sold a lot of books. :)
Jane and I have returned, as Jane has an early flight and I am still sick as a dog from this friggin' cold. BK, Mike and George are continuing the party with various and sundried others.
-
I WANT SNOW. :)
-
new cd release will be ordered ;D
-
Happy Birthday to Dear Richard ;)
-
Speaking of spring weather. I found out today that it will really never get below 70 degrees (all year long during the daytime) in Ventura. And I was hoping for a cold holiday. Oh well. 8)
-
COMFORT FOOD ;D ;D
-
Love strange movies. 8)
-
Glad to see bk is having a fine time in Portland, and so cool to have a surprise visit from Jane!
-
I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo far behind on everything else. :-[
-
Speaking of Portland, this is one of my all-time favorite albums:

Goodnight. ;D

Time to fold the laundry.
Laters...
That's what I did today, too. 6 loads. After traveling and having a houseguest, it really piled up.
-
Fortunately, the laundry was almost empty. And I can filch free wi-fi there from next door at The New Order, Atlanta's oldest gay bar. (And I think that also applies to the clientele.) :-)
-
They are having a One Creek event today. 35% off your total order. And there were a lot of mark downs. I was amazed at how much I saved. Man, I LOVE a sale!! :D
I love that store, too. Maybe I should get some Do-Mi-Do duds for our LA opening next week!
-
Ha-ha-ha-ha-happy Birthday to ha-ha-ha-ha Richard!!!
-
Just a small reply to bk.
;) I'M ALWAYS CLUELESS.
-
Congrats on the book sales, Druxy! I have friends who usually go to that; I'll have to check and see if they're going this year and send them your way!

Ginny, if you feel the urge to drive to Columbus tomorrow, you can see JEWS AND BASEBALL!

We have Smarties here in the states, but they're different; more like a roll of little Sweet Tarts:

JMK, I hope you feel better soon! And I hope I get over my whatever-sinus thingy before flying to LA.

I think I'll go have some Theraflu® for dessert...

A very late happy 10th anniversary HHW. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Love all the wonderful pictures of the gathering!
-
Nice review for the Kritzerland show at the Gardenia.
;)
-
Well that's it for me. Will catch up more tomorrow.
Need to be up early for a 7am AA meeting. Down the street, found it by asking why everyone parking their cars were up so early ;D.

Back from the event and the pre and post dinners. I had planned to eat very lightly at the pre dinner, so I had a BLTA, fries (small amount) but then had to try their peanut butter pie, which was yummilicious. But this place had so many things that I love and I'm afraid at the post show dinner I ate an obscene amount of food and I shan't eat anything over 1000 calories for the next week so I can get rid of this. I had biscuits and gravy (2), two eggs, hashed brown potatoes loaded with sour cream and cheese, and bacon.
-
The event could not have gone better. We had a really nice crowd. JMK was a perfect moderator - we started out by showing the acting clip reel and boy did that go over well - lots o' laughs and really fun. Then they introduced me. It was very relaxed - the first thing out of my mouth was "It's really hard to follow yourself forty years later." There were lots o' stories, a lot of nice, big laughs, and the Opening Numbers song went as good as it's ever gone. What a wonderful audience we had. The second clip reel just went on way too long (I'd been told two ten-minute clip reels, which is exactly what I delivered) - the acting one was fine, but the writing/directing one was five minutes too long. But the best thing about the second clip reel was that it began with three scenes from The Creature Wasn't Nice, and the laughs were so huge - it was really gratifying, especially I Want To Eat Your Face. We could have stopped right there. We never had time for the second song or questions, which was too bad, but we were just having way too much fun.
After, I sold a lot of books, which was also fun. In fact, I wished I'd brought the Kritzer books, too, as we would have done well with them. All in all, a perfect evening.

Must hurry and write the notes because I'm going to the airport earlier than planned to save Betsy having to make a second trip. So, we leave at six-fifteen instead of seven-thirty.
