The latest from WhackoWorld:



der Brucer

Would make good reading for Sandra at work.
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
Its witchcraft

 I had a date for the hop last night
Up to her door everything seemed right
But to my surprise as I opened the door
I couldn't tell the front from the back
"Cause she was wearin' a sack dress
Whew what a mess!
The last time I saw her, man what a shape!!
And now she's got a shape like an egg!

No chemise, please, not for me, please
Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack
And bring a sweater back!!

When we arrived at the hop
We started in doin' the stroll
I told her I wanted to stop
But she wanted rock and roll
I told her forty times and it really was a crime
I was talkin' to the back of her head!!

No chemise, please, not for me, please
Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack
And bring a sweater back!!---yeah

(instrumental interlude)

Sure would like to find the creator
Who covered up my baby in this tent
He musta been a woman-hater
I keep wonderin' where the wiggle went
So won't you change the fad, have pity on me please
Put 'er back in her dungarees

No chemise, please, not for me, please
Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack
And bring a sweater back!!

No chemise, please, not for me, please
Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack
Bring a sweater back!!

oh joy.... I have been hearing that there is a possibility that they may go on strike in late spring or summer. Now add the writers strike and new programs and movies will really be at a standstill.

I took my mom to the Dingle peninsula in Ireland a few years ago. So beautiful!

My friend Maureen has been there several times. It is a beautiful area.

I believe I'm up.  I, too, had an evening filled with quite weird dreams.  First seeing four older Jewish comics in a tiny club and them asking my opinion about their show.  Charlie Brill was one of them.  Then I was doing a play at LACC (I think) and the opening was for some reason on a Friday afternoon.  Wherever I was coming from the traffic was horrible and then I couldn't find a place to park and I ended up walking into the theater ten minutes before curtain.  Men and women were all in the same dressing room which, unlike LACC, was located down some stairs under the stage.  The costumer found my costume, which I'd never tried on before.  He/she (it kept going back and forth) had bought me size forty underwear and I kept saying I didn't need such a size and they kept saying I'd look better.  I got my shirt on and then they had me put on pointy glossy black shoes, admonishing me to not squeeze into them.  I then put my gray slacks on over them.  

All during this I kept asking everyone for a script, as I could not remember one single line.  No one seemed to have a script.  I asked if they play had started and it had.  We could hear one of the actors playing the piano and singing and getting a huge ovation.  I finally found a script but by the time I found my first scene it was almost time for my entrance.  I went upstairs and got ready - I found my first line in the script (which I was now carrying in a prop grocery bag - my brilliant idea of how I could have the script onstage with me.  Something had happened to my shoes, however - I was barefoot, and I quickly ad-libbed "It was so hot I took me shoes off" as I entered, speaking in a cockney accent for some reason.  And then the phone rang.

Come to me, my melancholy baby.
Cuddle up and don't be blue.
All your fears are foolish fancies maybe.
Don't you know that I'm in love with you?
Every cloud must have a silver lining.
Just wait until the sun shines through.
Smile, my honey dear,
While I kiss away each tear,
Or else I will be melancholy too.

The Charlton Heston film that brian referenced  is called The Naked Jungle and its based on a quite famous radio play called Lonegin (sp?) and the Ants.  It's directed by Byron (War of the Worlds) Haskin.

I found this game over at the BBC, the Doctor Who themed MonsterMatch.

This morning, I discovered that der Brucer has also been playing it.

Warning: It is quite addictive, particularly in the timed version.

I just haven't yet decided on what tricks I'll be playing with it.

I don't believe I've ever seen an insect movie.

I might like a butterfly movie. It could hardly be scary.

It is a beautiful day out today, although a bit breezy. DR Sandra has the day off, and we walked over to the sandwich shop for breakfast. Well, she had breakfast; I had coffee.

I loved Arachnophobia :) Even though I have a terrible fear of spiders.

I liked Arachnophobia, too.  Then I finally met Jeff Daniels and wished the spiders had killed him.
