CD:  SONGS FROM RAGTIME (The Concept Album)

DVD:  BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA starring Juan Diego Flórez (I believe he is the only person in the entire opera)

          ADVENTURE OF SUPERMAN, Season 2

Book:  Clive Cussler's BLACK WIND

P.S  Last night I watched an episode of THE HARDY BOYS with guest star Rick Nelson.  Damn, the older he got, the better he looked.  It was eerie that this episode dealt with a rock star whose private jet was possibly going to crash.

Since he asked me to post that he'd written me again:  I got another missive from our favorite internet stalker, boredetector, in which he accused me of the following (which I posted on a chat board when someone mentioned The Tall Guy's spoof of The Elephant Man - I'd said that I'd done a musical spoof of The Elephant Man, also entitled Elephant! years before they had):

Congrats on taking credit for the musical version parody of Elephant Man!  Did you enjoy it in the movie "The Tall Guy" from two decades ago?  Ever wonder why you get so few bites to your "me me me" posts? Hmm.
 
p.s. Don't forget to discuss this this email in your next post about what you ate for lunch.

Unfortunately for our stalker, I had to point out the following:

The Tall Guy - shot and released in 1989

Likely Stories (the Showtime comedy series for which I shot my musical spoof of The Elephant Man) - shot and aired in 1983.

OOPS.

Now, what do we do about this stalker, aside from ignoring him.  I have the feeling he's so obsessed that he will keep e-mailing me.  I know WHERE he's e-mailing from, and I know there are things one can do, so should I do them or just ignore the missives?

If it were me, I would just delete without reading them.  And if there is a way to designate his email address as spam, I would do that as well.

Good idea, TPunk.  I just don't like the thought of him trying to think he can just put out this false crap and get away with it - but he's obsessed and revels in it and that's his sickness, not mine.

That is a good idea TPunk, but I think it gives spam a bad name.

If I thought anyone would be interested in the fact that I am about to do the weekly shopping for fruit and vegetables I'd post about it.

Instead I shall mention that I am still enjoying "Arrested Development" (Series 2).  Liza is wonderful - and I'm not usually a fan.

A wonderful show.  That is why I knew it would never last.

From a psychological perspective, he probably has an obsessive personality type.  I'm guessing that this is not the first time that he has become fixated on something or someone and nor will it be the last.  If you ignore him and do not give him any of the attention he so badly desires, he will soon move on to the next fixation.  As much as I always want to set things straight with folks like this, I've come to realize that you can never get in the last word.  There is no reasoning, no explaining and no coming out on top.  You can't be logical or reasonable with someone who is not capable of reason.

No, unfortunately he passed away before I could do so. He did write his autobiography a few years back however, and I keep meaning to pick it up.

TPunk, you are very wise indeed.  

TCB - I have a Japanese CD of On The Flip Side, but I do dearly love the mini-LP style CDs, so I'll probably have to get it.  I gather the import that I have is hard to find now.

Mini-Lp style cds are cute but it's so hard sometimes to get the cd out of the sleeve!

I have the jewel-case cd as well and I'll keep it that way! :)

I hope you'll go back to the Oakland Museum to see the temporary Disneyland exhibit there! I know I would if I could, which should not surprise anyone here, except BoredETRACTOR!

I just can't believe that the show was televised forty years ago, and we still have to get it on a CD that is imported from Japan!

I'm back from a lovely dinner with my friend Valerie.  We went to Good Enought To Eat, only they didn't have their spectacular strawberry shortcake tonight (damn!).  We did have a wonderful mean (me, meatloaf; she, caesar salad and grilled shrimp) and tete-a-tete.  I'm all caught up on the Barnes & Noble gossip.

Now, I think I'll watch a couple of BERKELEY SQUARE episodes.

This sounds a lot like an exhibit der Brucer and I enjoyed at the National Building Museum in Washington, D. C., only greatly expanded.  What der B and I saw filled just three rooms, mostly with drawings backed with a (very) few 3-D pieces.  Even so, what was there was wonderful to see.

I've got a pair of duck legs roasting in a slow oven, which I'll be basting with a hoisin/Grand Marnier sauce over starting in about ninety minutes.  Should be good eating here in Rehoboth in about two hours.

(Good thing I'm checking my spelling myself instead of relying on the computer.  I almost wrote "duck legs" with an (alternate vowel) instead of a U, which I'm sure our ever-lovin' TCB would never have let me forget!   :o ::) ;D)
