I think I may have mentioned this before, but in 1997, I was privileged (? I think ) to play for a production of Hello, Dolly! starring our very own Sharon McNight.  Letting bygones be bygones, I'll just say it was quite the experience.  If anyone is interested, I may have some proof that show happened.  :)

A couple of recent eBay wins will require extra shelf space at home.  I love to find high-quality copies of 45 rpm issues of movie scores and Broadway musicals.

This week, I think I hit the payload.  First up, I won 25 titles, several of which are still sealed in original shrinkwrap.  The rest are considered very good-plus to near-mint.

Here's the photo:

Dr ELMORE you might be thinking of GET OVER IT, which was a fun movie....

Kirsten Dunst, Ben Foster, Colin Hanks, Sisqo, and Martin Short.

It began with a great number on the street choreographed to, I think, a Captain & Tenille song.

...Next dream was that I was moving the Medford with my mom, evil stepdad, and younger brother Dan. We were moving into a nify old house, but I was worried about living with my stepdad again, because he was evil.

Of course my mom and stepdad have been divorced for about 20 years and he is, in fact, dead now...

The evil dead.  Makes sense to me.

...I do wonder what the Dream-o-matic can tell me about these two dreams. The second scenario is a common theme in my dreams lately.

It's already August 23 here so I hope that old guy from Tacoma has a great birthday - because he can!

But then he won't read this.

I really haven't stopped listening to the Newman CD - it's quite brilliant, and Mr. Haines WILL be recording Losing You whenever we get around to doing his next CD.
You can work on getting the arrangement right with your cabaret act!  Mr. Haines will appreciate that, I think!

I spent a delightful afternoon with THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS....The movie is one that has had to grow on me over the years. Like NASHVILLE (which I was also lukewarm about when I first saw it), NIGHTMARE now is totally delightful and so creative, but when I first saw it, it just seemed creepy and weird. Original, certainly, but the music was dissonant and it just didn't thrill me. I did buy the first (nonanamorphic) DVD and watched it fairly often over the years finally getting its jokes and enjoying the Kurt Weill-like music a lot more.

In high definition, it's now one of the best films available on Blu-ray, and there is a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 soundtrack that is mind-boggling in its creation. They're finally given the movie the release it's always deserved.
Der B and I saw the film in it's original release at the El Capitan, on Hollywood Blvd.  I loved it then, and love it now.  As a special bonus, some of the "sets" were on display at the theater, downstairs.  The amount of detail was fascinating.

Next is Christopher Lee reading Tim Burton's original poem version of the story with concept art animated. This is also done in high definition with a Dolby DIgital soundtrack. The original poem sounds very much in the mode of Dr. Seuss and is the basic story without characters like Sally and Oogie Boogie to flesh out the story.
Not having Vincent Price available, Christopher Lee is a good second choice.

I'm too hungry to wait until six - probably six thirty before food is on the table.  I had two of my low-cal, no fat hot dogs left and two buns, so I'm making those.  Total calories will be about 320 (and I'm sure I ran off some of those on the long jog) - so I'll still be able to eat a nice meal this evening.

I am insane.

The latest proof came today, when Stacey, the front end manager, asked me if I could come in tomorrow, when she hadn't scheduled me to come in to work.

Sure, I responded.  What time.

Four.






In the morning.






 :o






It seems that the night-shift girl probably won't be coming in tonight, so could I please please pretty please come in early in the morning, so that the girl who is going to sub for the night shiftless shifter can get home at an indecent hour?

What can I say?  I'm a good guy.  That, plus I need the hours this week.


I am totally insane.

Fortunately, dinner tonight is more like appetizers.  I took one of the crocks of pork confit, popped it into the stand mixer, and with the paddle smooshed it into a paste.  In other words, we're being trendy and having rillettes tonight!

Three cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, and a peppercorn brie), some summer sausage, and a salad will be rounding out the plates.  That, and lots of toasted French baguette rounds.

And then I'll be immediately to bed, to sleep, perchance to dream.

If I dream of Milford, I'll be in trouble, because I've never been to Milford.

Things could be worse, of course.  I could dream of Fresno.  I've been to Fresno.

If it is on the tomatoes, it is probably the result of a calcium deficiency - the plants, not you.

I will add some milk when I water them.

Actually, I bought some worm poop fortified with calcium (yuck) so we'll see how that works. Thanks!

Der Brucer is a genius.  They wouldn't know what to do with him.  I've already got a rep as the smartest person on the staff - and every time I suggest that, no, I'm just the best educated, they say no, I'm the smartest, which doesn't make me feel good when the store manager is standing right there.  Der B is so much smarter than I that his working at the store would be downright scary!

The tube of the television in der B's room has bitten the dust.  It has pooped it's last poop, teeted it's last teet (a Harlan Ellison reference, I think).  It is now impossible for me to watch DVDs in his room while he watches stuff I don't want to watch on the hi-def in the livingroom.

Bleh.

And he is napping.

How am I supposed to get our appetizer dindin served and get to bed at an impossibly early hour if he is napping?

I ask you!!!
