Let me get this straight - not one person here has the Reel Imagination CD? Have I got that right?
So not one person on haineshisway.com has Reel Imagination? Color me shocked, seriously.
~~~~~~~~~~ Excellent Vibes and Xylophones for Some Miracles for BK! ~~~~~~~~~~
I wish Hollywood would film the stage musicals:

THE HAPPY TIME
Read a charming short story last night called Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm. Stella Hibbons takes us back to the farm a few years before Cousin Poste reforms the Starkadders. There’s nothing nasty in the woodshed, but it is hilarious.
This time of the year I am always reminded of the Christmas Pageant in A SHORT HISTORY OF A SMALL PLACE - one of the funniest books I have ever read in my life, and I'm old.
The town recluse, who is very rich, comes to the pageant with her pet monkey - who of course gets loose during the Nativity portion of the pageant.....chaos ensues.
Of course the same monkey climbed up the water tower later that summer, and the entire town had to be rousted to get him down.
It's a funny book....although I still like the Lake Woebegone story about the man who wanted to make a living flag with people wearing baseball caps......

I became aware of this several years ago and purchased a copy. I need to read it. Cold Comfort Farm is one of my Ten Favorite Novels.
My question for ASK BK DAY - I recently watched the Albert Brooks movie MODERN ROMANCE from 1981. He played a film editor. In one scene, he left work (doing some foley work) and had a conversation in front of the building. The building had American International Studios on it.....I couldn't see the name of the cross street.
I didn't know AIP had its name on a building then....was it real or was Brooks making a fun statement since he was working on a Roger Corman-like sci fi film?
I should text Michael Shayne - like I have his phone number.

I believe the original AIP offices were on either Sunset or Wilshire in the 1960s and 70s.
And the goddamned elevator is out again.
We seem to be out of order now one day out of three.
I feel very lucky to be able to post. I left my tablet at the gym only to find it gone once I realized my error. About an hour later , and several stops at the spa (next to the gym) and lost and found, I received a call that the spa had it. I was be I g to get concerned that a guest had walked ofc with it and I was destined to be without my books to read.
Good morning, all.

Yes and yes.
I am on a roll today as I also misplaced my sunglasses. While not as serious as losing my tablet, which I am very grateful to have back, most sunglasses are too big and uncomfortable. Mine fit me. I really need sunglasses in South Africa.
Well, the elevator was down at 7:30, but the servicemen had it running by 8:30. When I returned at 12:30, the damned thing was out of service again. God damn!
I have to catch Thatch now.
That's always been a worry of mine -- that I won't be able to corral the critter who absolutely must go to the vet. We've managed it every time, but there have been a couple of uncomfortably close calls.
In other news, I just became the very happy owner of some Harvey Schmidt doodles. I must see about having them properly framed.

Congrats, ChasSmith! I can't wait to get my perks! ;D
I sat through the entire lunch waiting for (what I considered to be) a very important piece of information.
Nothing.
"Oh, my! Yes of course. Naturally, you are invited!"
Like I am a mind reader.

I always invited Kerry for Christmas dinner.
Not a fun day.

Watching a movie called Brigsby Bear that was sold to me as a comedy. It's really sad and rather heartbreaking.
What have you been up to this evening?
Instead of making THE GREATEST SHOWMAN, why didn’t they just adapt BARNUM to the screen?
