LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON is the film that got Maurice Chevalier back into American movies.

He'd been "blacklisted" after WW2 because some people thought he'd been a "collaborator" with the Nazis.

He wasn't.

I'm having a medical test today that I am not looking forward to.

They're going to shock and stick needles into my left arm for 2-3 hours to see if there is nerve damage in the elbow.

I do not do well with pain.

Ran my errands, ate a little "brunch" (one particular part of which flies in the face of my stated concern about pounds this morning), and now I'm going to work on some music before going out and getting the snowblower and everything ready for the storm.

And damn it to HELL, it's SPRING out there today.  So sad.

A fun one was Clambake and With Six You Get Eggroll, which only had food in their titles to make them related in any way.

Our April flights are booked, at a discounted rate, with the cruise line.  The downside to letting them book the flights is it limits our options.  They wanted to send us through Paris with less than an hour layover.  Paris is about the worst airport to change flights at.  We have done it twice and both times were lucky to make the connection it took so long to go from the arrival gate to our departing gate.  Needless to say we are not going through Paris.

I'm not a fan of updating my resume but my supervisor instructed me to do so. And he gave me a form to follow. And now I guess I know what I'll be doing.

Hmmm, might your supervisor be thinking of a new position for you?
If his replacement is from within the team, then that person will need to be replaced.

Listening to some historical Sibelius recordings, mostly from the 1930s, with some pretty amazing transfers from 78s.  Most of the symphonies are conducted by Robert Kajanus, who was Sibelius' favorite conductor.  So, these were frequently either the first recordings of these works or close to it.  So, it's fascinating to hear them and I must say I'm enjoying what I'm hearing - one does have to adjust one's ears, just as one had to for the Anthony Collins 50s mono recordings - those sound excellent but a bit limited in range and these from twenty years before sound pretty amazing for their age.  But it's the performances here that's the thing.

I just threw the pants I was wearing today into the dryer along with 2 pairs of wet gloves.  I am hoping my jacket is dry by tomorrow.

It's funny. I love movies about chess. I even love the score to Chess, but I don't think I have the patience any longer to play the game.

Queen of Katwe was based on a true story. I loved the ending because the director showed you the actor and the real person and then gave you the update on what happened to each one since the story in the movie.

No motion pictures this evening.  Just Sibelius from the 1930s.  I am in a rather foul and fowl mood, frankly, so I think a trip to the shower will happen soon.

On New Year's Eve, I recorded "That's Entertainment I, II, & III" on TCM.  Earlier tonight, I bought the trilogy on Blu-ray at Costco.  Comparing the HD broadcast with the Blu-ray, the TV broadcast is so much better looking than the Blu-ray.  The discs seem very grainy and darker, and the sound isn't as vibrant as the broadcast.

Darn. :-\
