I recorded LILITH off TCM but haven't watched it. Nor have I seen all that many Warren Beatty films in general. I know I've missed a few of the biggies.
BONNIE AND CLYDE
SHAMPOO
SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS
THE PARALLAX VIEW
DICK TRACY
I have the feeling LILITH is one of those Sixties films that belongs on my list.

Very happy to hear the new book is an Adriana Hofstetter!

Snow tomorrow!!
Late night into early morning.

RE: the notes
Interesting BK that you say you don't outline the book. And that at this point you just write a line or two so as to know what is going to happen in the remaining chapters.
Have you ever tried outlining? Do you at least always know how the story is going to end?

I almost just had a heart attack.
I could not get my kindle to start.
It froze (on something in my email).
I had tried resetting it. But did not do it for the full 20 seconds. So when i saw to do it that long on amazon.com help, I did it. And thankfully it started. But i was freaking out for 15 minutes.

Breakfast: Two (2) coffees, banana, and a whole layer of DR John G.'s pastries. These should be taken away from me, right now. Confiscate them. Lock them up. On a high shelf.
I need another coffee.

SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS

Good morning. It is cold for Phoenix.

Oh, and we're heading into another deep freeze.

TOD:
Bonnie & Clyde
Shampoo
Heaven Can Wait
Bulworth
I remember seeing Shampoo at the American Film Festival in Dallas. Beatty spoke after the film and I recall some pretentious film student getting up and asking him about symbolism and themes in the movie and Beatty just looking at her befuddledly and saying: "I don't know what you're talking about. Bob Towne and I just made a story about various people and a lifestyle we were familiar with in LA."
I bought a DVD of Lillith for $3 at Big Lots some time ago, but have yet to watch it.

Looking at Warren Beatty's film credits on IMDB, I find that I have no favorite Warren Beatty films.

Good morning, all!
It's a morning of tsuris: after spendng the day juggling dates and working my colleagues into a frenzy, the producers of the show Rob is committed to notified him yesterday that they are postponing production for two months. Now he is unavailable in September, and there is no way my teams - copy and Dublin - could be ready to record in May. So, I've spent this morning dealing with all of this megillah.
So, today I am off to the NYPL and the Dorothy Fields Collection. I hope the trip is profitable.
Just bidin' my time.

I don't plan on watching it. I think the questions it raises would probably be more interesting than the movie itself.

Right outside our hotel we bought 48-hour tickets and at, 10:30, boarded a Big Bus tour that took us all around London. We took about an hour break for a light lunch at the National Gallery and got back to the hotel about 4pm. Tomorrow, we'll use the bus more for transportation than tourism. There's also a river cruise included, so we'll try to work that into our plan.

BONNIE & CLYDE
McCABE & MRS MILLER
SHAMPOO
I pretty much can't stand to watch the early films of Shirley's brother. Pre-BONNE & CLYDE, there's just something about his screen persona that rubs me the wrong way.

I dodged a bullet last night.
I came home to find the temperature in my house at 63 degrees. And yet the heater was set at 74. It would run, but there was no fire in the furnace. Fortunately, my heater is covered by my gas & electric company and even more fortunately, they were able to send a guy out to fix it. Turns out my ignition was dull.

DR Ginny, no time for any theatre? What's the hot ticket there now?

I thought it was about time I bought a new landline phone because I've had it for about 20 years. I chose and bought one a few days ago which worked for about 24 hours before developing a fault. I changed it for a different model today, which hopefully will last longer. I suppose i should have left well alone when my old phone was working perfectly well :)

Sadly, HMV, a British institution where I have been buying LP records, then CDs, videos and DVDs etc. since 1963, has gone bankrupt. There will be nowhere left in the UK to buy music and films, other than on-line. I far prefer to browse in stores and buy and take away a physical product but it seems as if those days may have gone for good.

Not this time, DR Dan (the Man). We both have coughs that have no place in a theatre and we don't think we should be out in the night cold. We've seen a lot of the musicals, too. Before Norwich, several of our classmates saw UNCLE VANYA, with the actress who plays Lady Edith in DOWNTON ABBEY in the cast.

There is almost no where to physically buy things even in New York. I can go down to
J&R (http://www.jr.com/category/music/soundtracks-hy-orig-cast/)
for OCRs and other CDs and if I want used I can go to Academy, though they are selling fewer and fewer OCRs also. It's depressing!

Hello, everyone.
I am home with the sore throat that's been with me now for the past month. I had to cancel a dental appointment and I'm not happy. This poor tooth needs help and between one thing and another I haven't been able to get it taken care of. So I'm a disgruntled couch potato.

It's OK, DR Jeanne. That wasn't really a priority this trip.

I want to pass on the news about Junior's. I ran into a neighbor while putting out the garbage. He told me that he worked at Junior's for 33 years and never missed a day, and now, of course, has lost his job. I had no idea he worked there. He told me that someone else has already leased the space--another deli! When I asked if Junior's was going to reopen in another spot, he seemed doubtful. He also told me that the owners' assertions that they couldn't make money wasn't true.
I do hope that the new deli is a good one. My neighbor is interviewing with them later today.

We did go to Choral Evensong at Westminster Abbey again tonight. There were lots of diplomats there.

TTFN.

Oh, I meant to mention that I love Dorothy Fields' songs. I don't know why she isn't better known among the general populus. Her songs are, but not her name.

I need to turn the heat up.

So, TTFN again.

good afternoon to all

I don't a favorite film of Shirley McLaine's brother with maybe the exception of HEaven Can Wait and those are for the scenes with Dyan Cannon
-
And speaking of Dyan Cannon I can't believe what she did to her face. The plastic surgeon should have his license revoked. She doesn't look like the person we got to know.

From last night I posted the a trivia question: What is the connection of Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie and Bruce Kimmel?
The connection between the Hitchcock's Marnie and Bruce Kimmel is/was
Sean Connery
Who played the character of Mark Rutland.
And Mark Rutland was the director screen credit that Bruce Kimmel used for the movie "Prime Suspect" with Dana Plato, Susan Strassberg, Frank Stallone & Skip E. Lowe

Something like that happened to me last week! At first, I couldn't easily turn on the power, but when it finally was able to turn on, only three or four of my titles showed (I have 182 titles on it right now)! Even with the power on, I couldn't do much of anything...I couldn't even turn it back off to try and reset it. I wondered if the battery might've run down, so I plugged it in and left it alone and, FORTUNATELY, by the end of the day it was fine. :)

I'm up, I'm up, having slept way too late, which I must have needed to do, but now I am really behind and must catch up - print pages, Xerox, deliver, etc.
-
Jennifer - I've explained my writing process many times. I have never outlined ANY book, not just the mysteries. It's not how I work and I would find it constraining to have an outline. What I do is have pages of notes with things that will be or not be in the book. Events, characters, plot points. With the Hofstetter books I know who the victim will be but I never know who the killer will be until about halfway through the book because I like to go on the journey with Miss Hofstetter - to see things and clues as she does. It's more fun, more interesting, at least for me. When I decide, then I make sure everything that precedes that decision is not giving anything away - it usually isn't because I haven't known.

Feel better vibes for DR Jeanne!
A double dose

I knew it was something like that DR MIKE - but I couldn't come up with it.

She's great. There's a decent bio of her, "On the Sunny Side of the Street: The Life and Lyrics of Dorothy Fields."

Shopping for OCRs was always a big part of my trips to New York. The last time, I did go to a Barnes & Noble, but it was sterile and dull. Any good used CD stores?

Looking at Warren Beatty's film credits on IMDB, I find that I have no favorite Warren Beatty films.
Mikey, you should watch HEAVEN CAN WAIT. It is very funny! And no deep hidden meanings to worry about.
-
DR Doug R, I'm sorry and just a bit shocked to hear that about HMV. For some reason, I would have thought that the UK would have been slower to lose its stores. Maybe I've thought that because from things I'd read back in the day, LPs seemed to remain such a bigger deal there longer than in the US.
Surely there are secondhand stores for this stuff?

DR Ben, I still find J&R a fascinating place to visit once a year or so. Last time I was in there (yikes, I think it was way more than a year ago), they had quite the little LP department, both new and vintage. And though it looked like everything was being sold at list price, the DVD/Blu-ray room stock was very impressive.
B&Ns might seem sterile, but a couple of the largest ones are still nice. In particular, I supposed it's out of the way for most everyone here, but the Paramus, NJ store is not only a large one, it also contains the Annex for used and bargain books. I think that Annex is what used to be across Fifth Ave. (at 18th St.) from the original store. I've found a fair number of interesting things that had slipped under the radar out there in Paramus. And for movies, they're still our last best hope.

I had a frustrating NYPL visit, but I did get to chat with several librarians I like. Then, as I stepped onto the third floor elevator, I ran smack into the exiting Ian Marshall Fisher, who directed the 1998 BBC Radio production of JUBILEE. We went over to Alice Tully Hall for acup of coffee and chatted for about 2 and a half hours. It was a wonderful visit.

Academy on 18th Street used to be great but now it's only so-so. They don't buy many OCRs because they say the discs just sit there. They do have some out of print stuff for reasonable to outrageous prices but I don't go there much anymore. What used to be many bins of OCRs and soundtracks is now just 3 small rows of stuff. The rest are DVDs and in the back they have a large classical collection.
Barnes and Noble is hit and miss. The one on Union Square has cut back drastically on CDs. Most of the space was given over to the Nook. They have some stuff but not half of what they used to have.

That sounds like the Barnes & Noble stores here, too.

I bought a TON of stuff -- lots of LPs, a few books -- at Academy back in the day (early 1990s). Got some GREAT items from there, at very reasonable prices. I really miss the way the store was originally, and I also miss Skyline Books across the street. Boy, the more I think about it, the more time (and $$) I realize I spent on 18th Street.

i wonder if the hmv store in Montreal will close too

Back from Xeroxing, delivering (just left the pages out front since Muse Margaret is gone till this afternoon, then had a sandwich and no fries and a cup of chicken noodle soup. Picked up no packages.
-
And now, time to write. I began the new chapter after completely reworking the end of the previous chapter before printing out. But since I always like to leave Muse Margaret with the first line of the new chapter, I wrote that. And that's all that I've written so far, so I must buckle down, Winsocki and write. Happily, that one line, which took me about forty minutes to come up with, leads me right into something that will be fun to write.

Randy and Jo were very sad over the deaths of both Max and Maddie within 2and a half months of each other last fall. They now have a new puppy, named Blaze, whom Jo said she is spoiling to death.
I dearly loved Max and Maddie, but I do think Blaze is awfully adorable.

Blaze is, as far as I know, a registered German shepherd. They paid a fortune for him.
They drove to Iowa or somewhere in the midwest on Saturday to get him.

Jo says he's eight weeks old and huge. Since he's got home, he's only had three accidents in the house, and Jo's looking for an obedience class for him.

Oh right, the new recording of "Sweeney Todd" - I'm through "The Worst Pies of London" and I'm already bored. I'm sorry, this music does not work without the singer doing some acting with their vocals. The chorus is a "Chorus" - there is no accents, colors, or anything, flat as paint. I'd rather have the score sung with some acting and character and sacrifice the quality of the singing, especially with "Sweeney Todd" I'm hoping to get through it, but I can't promise anything. LOL

From DR Jennifer:
sometimes I have a hard time starting a book. It can take me a day or two to feel like starting it.
I can understand this, that way you can keep the book you just finished for a little while longer. Once a new book is begun I tend to move on. Still, I need something to read at night which means at times my time to contemplate the novel U just finished is only about 10 minutes.

I came home to find the temperature in my house at 63 degrees. And yet the heater was set at 74. It would run, but there was no fire in the furnace.

We're getting a new library in San Antonio -- with no books.
http://news.yahoo.com/library-without-books-bibliotech-open-193118588--abc-news-tech.html
It's an interesting idea. But I don't know if I want to only read on my ereader. I love physical books. Right now I am about 50-50, leaning more on the side of reading actual books.
My library does not loan out to kindles right now. My favorite part though about ereader reading is the font size. It is always perfect!

I had an original nook that was downloading an update, but I didn't know that, I just knew it was taking forever to load, so I tried to restart it and as a result it died. D.E.A.D. By that time they had stopped making that nook and it was out of warranty so I was just out of luck. I was bummed because I liked it but it gave me a reason to get my Nook Tablet, that I really love

I've never had it freeze while reading a book, only while using the internet (minimal) functions.

Jo says he's eight weeks old and huge. Since he's got home, he's only had three accidents in the house, and Jo's looking for an obedience class for him.
That's one good thing about cats...not so many "accidents." But then they do throw up anytime they damn well please. :P
You can say that again

Just watched Sunday's episode of Downton Abbey. Quite a shocker-I have to admit I didn't see it coming.

What a cute dog (Blaze)!

From DR Jennifer:
sometimes I have a hard time starting a book. It can take me a day or two to feel like starting it.
I can understand this, that way you can keep the book you just finished for a little while longer. Once a new book is begun I tend to move on. Still, I need something to read at night which means at times my time to contemplate the novel U just finished is only about 10 minutes.
I don't have to read before bed, so that part doesn't bother me.
Yes sometimes the books are that good that it's hard to move on. But also it just takes me a while to choose the next book and get ready to start it. But once I start it i tend to race through it.

Cute puppy DR Elmore!

Darling Doggie, Elmore!

Blaze is adorable.

DR Jane are you keeping better track of your books this year? I'm on my 8th book so far this year!
-
My library finally got the US Girl With The Dragon Tattoo movie.

Yes. Let me count-one sec.

How do I set it for only this years books to show up?

Breakfast: Two (2) coffees, banana, and a whole layer of DR John G.'s pastries. These should be taken away from me, right now. Confiscate them. Lock them up. On a high shelf.
I need another coffee.
I will drive up there, snatch them from your hands and eat them all to save you Chas _ I am just that nice

LOL DR Vixmom

Good morning, all!
It's a morning of tsuris: after spendng the day juggling dates and working my colleagues into a frenzy, the producers of the show Rob is committed to notified him yesterday that they are postponing production for two months. Now he is unavailable in September, and there is no way my teams - copy and Dublin - could be ready to record in May. So, I've spent this morning dealing with all of this megillah.
So, today I am off to the NYPL and the Dorothy Fields Collection. I hope the trip is profitable.
Just bidin' my time.

I dodged a bullet last night.
I came home to find the temperature in my house at 63 degrees. And yet the heater was set at 74. It would run, but there was no fire in the furnace. Fortunately, my heater is covered by my gas & electric company and even more fortunately, they were able to send a guy out to fix it. Turns out my ignition was dull.
*WHEW* That could have been nasty had your pipes frozen good thing you came home when you did

How is your Mom?
-
I need it to be about 40 minutes from now.
it will be. Give it about a half hour or so
-
Just one more night of these freezing temps. I would enjoy it a lot more if my garden wasn't freezing. I have no idea how much will be left when this is all over.

Just watched Sunday's episode of Downton Abbey. Quite a shocker-I have to admit I didn't see it coming.
I didn't either.
I didn't see it. I wonder what happened.

They are growing. I will put them on the plant my friend gave me tomorrow, as they have eaten the clippings she gave me. I think The Monarch Scientist has a small amount of plants, so I will give some caterpillars to her.

Blaze is so cute, Larry!! :D
Truly adorable.

Oh right, the new recording of "Sweeney Todd" - I'm through "The Worst Pies of London" and I'm already bored. I'm sorry, this music does not work without the singer doing some acting with their vocals. The chorus is a "Chorus" - there is no accents, colors, or anything, flat as paint. I'd rather have the score sung with some acting and character and sacrifice the quality of the singing, especially with "Sweeney Todd" I'm hoping to get through it, but I can't promise anything. LOL
And right now I'm watching Miss Audra MacDonald butcher a medley of "Not a Day Goes By" and "What Can You Lose?" because she's overacting like crazy.

Looking at Warren Beatty's film credits on IMDB, I find that I have no favorite Warren Beatty films.
Did you see the funny remake of HEAVEN CAN WAIT?
The one with Chris Rock?
-
That puppy is so cute.

I almost forgot to report -
doing laundry

Now, thankfully, the tape has moved on to Len Cariou and Angela Lansbury singing "A Little Priest." Fun. And, yes, they act it as well as sing it.

I am becoming a CASTLE addict. I'd be a MENTALIST addict, but I am so sick of that ridiculous Red John character and his continuous reappearances as Super Villain, all knowing and controlling the completeState of California. Ridiculous!

Well, I'm off. Off to my sister's to visit with the visiting cousins from Oregon. My parents will be there, too.
Until later!

Too many damn distractions today - constant and annoying. It shatters my concentration and it's like starting from scratch when I try to get back in the rhythm of writing what I was writing. The only call that meant anything today was from Muse Margaret who'd read the first thirty of the eighty-seven pages she got today (she'll finish the rest in the morning) - she wanted me to know she loved them, and that made me very happy.
-
I guess I've done about seven pages so far, so I'll take an hour break and then do three or four more, which should get me almost to the end of a chapter. And I know how this chapter ends, so that's good. After that, seven more chapters to go.

My UK Blu and Ray of Downton Abbey is taking forever to get here.
-
Watching second episode of Downton now.

Night, all.

But not before this:
Six!

I had a frustrating NYPL visit, but I did get to chat with several librarians I like. Then, as I stepped onto the third floor elevator, I ran smack into the exiting Ian Marshall Fisher, who directed the 1998 BBC Radio production of JUBILEE. We went over to Alice Tully Hall for acup of coffee and chatted for about 2 and a half hours. It was a wonderful visit.
I'm glad you had a nice day.
-
How do I set it for only this years books to show up?
When you look half way down your page there is the option to set your goodreads goal for the year. Then it keeps track. But as long as you are marking the date you finish books you shoulld be able to check.

Randy and Jo were very sad over the deaths of both Max and Maddie within 2and a half months of each other last fall. They now have a new puppy, named Blaze, whom Jo said she is spoiling to death.
I dearly loved Max and Maddie, but I do think Blaze is awfully adorable.

That should be Adorable with a capital "A."

Thanks for all the vibes.

He certainly is.

Oh, I meant to mention that I love Dorothy Fields' songs. I don't know why she isn't better known among the general populus. Her songs are, but not her name.
She's great. There's a decent bio of her, "On the Sunny Side of the Street: The Life and Lyrics of Dorothy Fields."
Thanks, John G. I may buy a copy. Plus, I learned that there's a CD available, a combination of Ms Fields talking about her life and also singing.

Bruce, DOWNTON ABBEY doesn't release until January 29. Are you getting it before the release date?

I'm getting it from the UK - it came out there two weeks ago and was shipped last week so it should be here very soon - usually normal shipping from the UK takes four or five days tops, and it will be day six tomorrow.

I see.

Three? I have had more accidents than that this week.

H-e-l-l-o-!
Well, I guess my work here is done.
G'night!

I guess I've done around eleven pages today. Not the easiest chapter, but I think it came out well, and it definitely ends well.
