Good morning, all! Today is another Toyland day. I have to finish up the Moross chart so I can invoice it. The reason? Taxes on that goddam property in Ohio are due in two weeks and, since the Man from Philadelphia is down to his last drachmas, I have to find the money somewhere.  I blame all of this Ohio mess on the greedy Macbeths and continue in my conviction that it will be my estate that sells the property and I will never see a cent of it.

While today is Friday, it seems like any day but Friday. Yesterday seemed to be Friday to me.

Good morning, all.

Oy.  (But it's a good oy.)  Needed another hour of sleep, and I've got a busy day ahead of me.  I wonder if I can sneak in a little doze.

Of course, I've already started on the coffee.  But that doesn't necessarily prevent the doze from happening.  We'll see.

Hammerstein! -- and only a few weeks after Rodgers!  I must email every member of that revue and let them know!  No, better yet, I should call them, each and every one.  Because nothing has greater impact than a personal phone call when you -- you know, reach out and touch someone.

Well, I must get busy on a few things because I need to be ready to drive over to Phoenixville, PA - home of THE BLOB - this afternoon to take in some BLOBFEST.  The annual "run-out" is tonight, which always sells out but I grabbed tickets this time, and tomorrow will be spent enjoying the small-town street fair and other events at the WONDERFUL Colonial Theatre.

So, I shall be E&T through the day but will check in late this evening and first thing in the morning.

DVD: Nothing
CD: Nothing
Blu-ray: DRACULA (1958) - rental
I saw DRACULA decades ago on TV but frankly I’ve never thought much of the Hammer horror films. I thought I’d rent this to see if my opinion has changed but I’m afraid it hasn’t. I find it unimaginatively filmed, with static camera set ups; lacking style, atmosphere or suspense. Good examples of well made gothic horror films are the Edgar Allan Poe adaptations directed by Roger Corman, made about the same time as the Hammer horror films, which are vastly superior in every way. I’ve also thought Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee vastly overrated in their acting ability – would they have become stars if they’d never been taken up by Hammer? As for James Bernard’s, “let’s have a crescendo every three seconds” score, the less said the better….

Guess LinkedIn isn't such a dinosaur after all.

Just got word that one of the contractors in the department I work in just landed a permanent position with JC Penney in Dallas because someone had found her resume on LinkedIn. (This was one of the twentysomethings who had told me LinkedIn was passe.)

It's great news for her, because her contract was due to expire at the end of the year.

I recall "Curse of the Werewolf" being rather better than the average Hammer product, JRand62.... I don't remember the other two though. I do have "Brides of Dracula on the Universal Hammer Franchise Collection DVD set - which I only bought for "Nightmare" and "Paranoiac" because I do very much like the Hammer psychological thrillers.

DR Cilla do your parent's have a calendar they look at every day?  I helped my father write down birthdays and important dates so he would remember.  That worked until he began to forget to look at the calendar.

Yes, and they write things down, but they still forget.   I called mom this noon and she said she was planning to call me. I wasn't sure she remembered, so I just called them and they wished me happy birthday.  They would feel bad if they forgot and it's not intentional, so it was easier that way.   She said she mailed a card today so actually may have remembered or written it down.

The new modem cannot get here fast enough.  And it's here and it's working and the Time Capsule found it and I'm on the Internet speeding along.  Yesterday, my Internet speed was 0.26, which is worse than dial-up.  Today, it's 26.6, as fast as it gets.  I went to Facebook and voila - that little Three Friends video of :53 duration that wouldn't even load loads instantly.  I'm BACK!

Congrats on the new modem, BK!!

Haven't eaten anything today, so I guess I can hold out for another couple of hours.  I forgot to mention that I wore pants last night that I bought three years ago and have never been able to even approach wearing.  I was thrilled a couple of weeks ago when I began to fit in size 34 clothes - THRILLED - this pair of pants is size 33 and I didn't even have to suck in my tummy to button - they buttoned very comfortably with room to spare and fit beautifully.  I now have about ten new pairs of pants that I can wear.  Another ten pounds over the next eight weeks, which shouldn't be that difficult, should get me down to size 32 again - although I'm at the point that anywhere from 32 to 34 is fine by me.  I've really begun to notice the difference in the way I look and so have others who are now finally noticing the extent of the thirty pounds gone.

DR JOHN G  - now and then I watch some of the SyFy Channel's original movies.  They are really jaw-dropping in every department.

I feel the same way about MANY of the Hammer Films, DR DOUG R....but there are a couple that I really like....

Curse of the Werewolf
Brides of Dracula
The Mummy


Dont forget that Plague of the Zombies, DR JRand...or was that not a Hammer film?


My favorite Hammer horror is their version of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I also like CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and BRIDES OF DRACULA. It has been such a long time since I have seen any of the others.

It is a new release and is about a poor, elderly widow who, for four years, saves enough money and then travels to Mumbai to buy herself a very beautiful, handmade sari, the kind that she had always dreamed of owning. A feel good movie all the way. I highly recommend it, but you will want to have kleenex handy.


Here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xffmIUSXoB4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xffmIUSXoB4)

Speaking of POLTERGEIST (sort of), I am amazed to find out over the years how many friends are terrified of clowns.  Not just dislike clowns, or freaked out by them; but rather pure terror!  I have a friend who is a prison guard.  He could take on any criminal in prison or out, but show him a clown and he is scared to death.

Well, I must get busy on a few things because I need to be ready to drive over to Phoenixville, PA - home of THE BLOB - this afternoon to take in some BLOBFEST.  The annual "run-out" is tonight, which always sells out but I grabbed tickets this time, and tomorrow will be spent enjoying the small-town street fair and other events at the WONDERFUL Colonial Theatre.

http://thecolonialtheatre.com/category/events/blobfest/

So, I shall be E&T through the day but will check in late this evening and first thing in the morning.

Are we talking the original THE BLOB, or the remake?  I must confess that I have never seen either one.

DR Jane, I'm not ignoring your question about Zimmerman, but not sure I want to stir things up.  I guess I'll just say that from what I've seen, it isn't clear what was actually happening right before the gun was fired.  I think there is a reasonable doubt because the prosecution didn't tell us what happened.  I think the right verdict based on the evidence is not guilty, I think the jury could compromise and come back with manslaughter

Well, we've been home a week, so it's time to start planning another trip - NYC, November 10-16!

Excellent, DR Ginny!  HHW-NYC get-together?

Hmmmm, I'm planning to go see A TIME TO KILL sometime this fall.  May have to check into going that weekend.  It opens October 20


Cilla, is this the same plot as the book?  And has Mr. Holmes written other non-musicals?

It is totally from the book, he has never seen the movie. It has to do with having the rights to the book but not the movie or something like that.  I'm sure it's been tweaked since it was in DC, but maybe DR FJL can tell you more, he saw it there.

Yes, he wrote ACCOMPLICE, SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, THUMBS and SAY GOODNIGHT GRACIE...that may be all of the non-musicals that were produced, not sure.  He's currently working on the book for SECONDHAND LIONS that will be at Seattle's 5th Ave Theater from September 10- Oct 6.  It's a musical.  I guess I should say he's been working on the book for years and is getting ready for the production.

Haven't eaten anything today, so I guess I can hold out for another couple of hours.  I forgot to mention that I wore pants last night that I bought three years ago and have never been able to even approach wearing.  I was thrilled a couple of weeks ago when I began to fit in size 34 clothes - THRILLED - this pair of pants is size 33 and I didn't even have to suck in my tummy to button - they buttoned very comfortably with room to spare and fit beautifully.  I now have about ten new pairs of pants that I can wear.  Another ten pounds over the next eight weeks, which shouldn't be that difficult, should get me down to size 32 again - although I'm at the point that anywhere from 32 to 34 is fine by me.  I've really begun to notice the difference in the way I look and so have others who are now finally noticing the extent of the thirty pounds gone.

Congratulations, BK!

DR JOHN G  - now and then I watch some of the SyFy Channel's original movies.  They are really jaw-dropping in every department.

I feel the same way about MANY of the Hammer Films, DR DOUG R....but there are a couple that I really like....

Curse of the Werewolf
Brides of Dracula
The Mummy


Dont forget that Plague of the Zombies, DR JRand...or was that not a Hammer film?


My favorite Hammer horror is their version of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I also like CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and BRIDES OF DRACULA. It has been such a long time since I have seen any of the others.


I prefer Hammer's SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN DRACULAS.

I just heard on the news that some Fox station broadcast the name of the pilots on last weekend's plane that crashed.  Unfortunately the names were a bad joke, but until the names were read out loud, no one realized the joke.  I don't remember all of the names but the main pilot was listed as Capt. Sum Ting Wong.  Bad joke.
