STONE KILLER was just on TCM last week - it is OnDEMAND now - perhaps I shall watch it.

We are expecting temperatures in the 90's for the next five days....so there's not much else to do.

House of Wax
Man With a Camera - tv series

10 to Midnight

He and his wife Jill Ireland also for a time had an option on Frances Farmer's "autobiography" for her to star in - but they couldn't get the financing.....which is probably a GOOD thing.

FJL's ever-lovin' Skipper has two numbers in the Kritzerland show - a ballad from The Last Starfighter, and our put-together of She Dies/Time and Time Again from Time and Again.  We've done the latter before but not in a couple of years and it just fits this show so well.

I have never been a big Charles Bronson fan. With the exception of one movie I like his performances where he was a supporting player.

The Great Escape
Once Upon a Time in the West
The Magnificent Seven

and as Druxy and FJL mentioned

From Noon to Three. (However, I hated that ending)

It was such a different film from all his other films that he did from the 70's onwards. He should have played more roles like he did in that film.

His roles  IMHO were basically interchangeable. Different names and places, but the plots were basically the same.

In my last dream I was around sixteen, in pajamas, in the house where I grew up.  We were waiting on family for a reunion.  One of my brother Randy's German shepherds from 2017 was with me and went bananas when there was a knock at the door.  Someone we did not know walked in with two small boys. I asked who that man was and someone said it was Ed Weiser to see your dad.  It was an agent from Buddweiser about some legal action.

I never used to get any spam in gmail. But once it starts getting through then you get a lot of it. I don't get tons. But there can easily be 10-20 messages when I wake up in the morning. I wish gmail had a way to block the people that send the same so they can never message you again.

I am obsessed with them. I didn't realize that they would be leaving this week. We have super warm temps scheduled for another 4 days (like 90s). So I am going to make sure to go to the lake to see them as many times as I can.

Tomorrow's fine.  I want to check out this event but I don't expect to be out later than 2:00.  It's supposed to get up to 90F and I would just as soon be home in the AC as the housecleaning continues.

It took over two days for MACC to respond to my inquiry about a couple of cats on their site.  One was adopted and little Sycamore is out today on adoption patrol in the Bronx, 10 miles away.  He's so adorable, I'm sure he'll be adopted today.  If I'd known this yesterday, I would have traipsed over and made a desperate bid to adopt him.

So, I had a successful outing, learned that the animal rescue folk always arrive with their perts for adoption around 2:30PM.  It;s too warm, so I will pass going back today or checking other places tomorrow.  I'm still not really ready to bring a cat or cats into the apartment yet. Give me another week.

When I moved here from L.A. in 1989, I had already learned of North Shore Animal League through -- I think -- their advertisements in TV GUIDE, and I'd even made some small contributions from out there.

A year later, after I'd gotten well settled into my apartment and life in general here, I decided it was time for a kitten or two.  I never gave it any thought, I just hopped in the car and drove down to Lawn Guyland and up to Port Washington, and spent an amazing couple of hours at North Shore looking at all the cats that were there that day.  I'd already prepped the jernt with a litter box in anticipation of having success there, and sure enough, I did.  I had no idea what I was in for because I'd never adopted from any place like that, but all went well and that night I had two of the most adorable little girls living with me, who would be wonderful companions for the next 17 and 18 years.

Had an omelet and a bagel and then had part one of the garage adventure.  My back is now so sore - not from lifting, but from standing and going through a TON of boxes - we threw away at least fifteen boxes of crap - some stuff I'm keeping is going to the storage facility.  But holy moley on rye, some of the stuff I found is amazing - lots of Bay Cities correspondence that I only wish I'd had last week because I would have used at least one of the many Claus Ogerman letters I found.  I found even more letters from Robert Ward, a couple from Ernest Gold, Jack Beeson and one incredible note from her nibs Georgia Gibbs.  Stuff from Tony Walton and Byrd, Claibe Richardson - just faboo.  I think for the Indiegogo campaign I'll put up one or two of my original scripts for TV shows I did - do you think those would sell?  Fun, but I'm exhausted.

I have never been a big Charles Bronson fan. With the exception of one movie I like his performances where he was a supporting player.

It took over two days for MACC to respond to my inquiry about a couple of cats on their site.  One was adopted and little Sycamore is out today on adoption patrol in the Bronx, 10 miles away.  He's so adorable, I'm sure he'll be adopted today.  If I'd known this yesterday, I would have traipsed over and made a desperate bid to adopt him.

He's a beauty, too.

Larry's doing major housecleaning, BK is doing major tossing. Today I did one of the mini projects that I'd hoped Pablo could do, but he didn't have time: I tackled the shower grout.

If Bluth Bros theatre were still around today, what, if anything, would you do differently? Do you feel that there's the quality of talent today--along with the work ethic--to do what Don and Fred Bluth did?

Apparently they usually fly very high when they go past this area. I don't recall ever seeing them. But the weather the past few weeks has been so unbelievably hot. We had 1 week of Fall weather and then it has been 80s (which is very abnormal). I didn't get to go see the butterflies today. But will go biking tomorrow.

We had a Siamese when I was growing up we named her Fa-ying after the young princess that died  at age 8... I have no idea why   But she was a wonderful cat.  Easily trained. And she "talked" she had cries that sounded exactly like "out" "no" "eat" "mom" and used them appropriately ...

When I moved here from L.A. in 1989, I had already learned of North Shore Animal League through -- I think -- their advertisements in TV GUIDE, and I'd even made some small contributions from out there.

A year later, after I'd gotten well settled into my apartment and life in general here, I decided it was time for a kitten or two.  I never gave it any thought, I just hopped in the car and drove down to Lawn Guyland and up to Port Washington, and spent an amazing couple of hours at North Shore looking at all the cats that were there that day.  I'd already prepped the jernt with a litter box in anticipation of having success there, and sure enough, I did.  I had no idea what I was in for because I'd never adopted from any place like that, but all went well and that night I had two of the most adorable little girls living with me, who would be wonderful companions for the next 17 and 18 years.

I have many a friend and relatives who found their fur babies there

I do feel that and have been trying to it for over a decade.  But it costs money, one needs a space - I had all the right ideas and one person specifically who saw the original prospectus ripped it off wholesale save for the one thing that actually made it work - he took HIS version of MY plan into the toilet within a year and stiffed hundreds of people.

Back from a nice second performance, which comes with a nice story.

(I know I'm interrupting vixmom's story with this story, so I'll just put it here for your reading pleasure and show myself out.)

An older couple was talking with people afterward.  Turned out it's their 50th wedding anniversary (I don't know if they meant today, exactly).  It's the show's 50th anniversary.  It's the theater's 50th anniversary.  Anyway, they went to NYC on their honeymoon and saw the show with Mary Martin and Robert Preston, and that experience stayed with them through the years.  This year the wife did a little digging to find out who would be mounting I Do! I Do!  She chose ours and somehow got her husband up here from North Carolina on some pretext -- and wasn't he surprised when they walked into a little theater tonight and saw their honeymoon show for the first time since.
