Haines His Way

And the word of the day is: RESSENTIMENT!

And a happy haineshisway.com birthday to duskglow, whoever he/she may be.

His real name Russell and on October 22, 2003 at 3:10:54 AM, his first post was this:

Hi, I just thought I'd introduce myself really quick, I've been working behind the scenes with Mark getting this software set up - I'm the tech guy. I was responsible for restoring the site from backup, getting it back up and running, and installing movable type and this board, etc, so mark could take over and design it.  I really didn't know this community existed before the crash and subsequent rebuilding and found it rather interesting.  I'm no stranger to musicals myself - I've accompanied the local community theater (I know, I know, midwestern Iowa is a far cry from New York, but still).  Thinking of writing my own someday but we'll see how that goes.

Let's see, to stay on topic, I need to ask a question of Bruce or the readers.  Hmm, a question, a question.  OK, here's a really simple one for both Bruce and the readers.  If there was one place in the world that you could live without regard for money, where would it be?  I think I'd live in East Asia somewhere.  I like the family ties and simplicity of life in china or thailand.  We seem to have lost that here.

Well, nice meeting you all, perhaps I'll check back here from time to time to see how everyone is and make sure the board is working right.  "ta-ta".

A Very Happy Birthday to Duskglow (aka Russell)!

I spy a singdaw.

No, I did not leave in a huff!    

Sleep is good.

FOR TCB:

From yesterday.

I do remember a Place to Stand. I saw it several times and was one of my favorite short films of all time. It was at the Ontario Pavillion at Expo 67 and I think it also played during Man and His World 68 ( A off shoot of Expo 67)

The theme song was so popular a 45rpm (remember those?) was released



and to this day I remember three lines from the song. (They were repeated several times)

And we will build Ontario
A place to stand, a place to grow
Ontari-ari-ari-o !

Norman Jewison freely admits that the film was inspiration for the multiple screens he used in The Thomas Crown Affair.

The film won an oscar for Best Live Action Short

Well, that's all for now until I get to the airport in about an hour and a half (I hope).

Laters...

Don't know what I'll listen to during the day.

I'll tape the BBC program My Hero so we can watch it when Anthony returns. I have no plans for the weekend. It's supposed to rain tomorrow and Sunday. I may just stay in and put information into the computer calendar (old information from a couple of years ago) and then back it up again so my life is kind of backed up. I'll listen to CDs as I do it and that will be nice.

I must begin riding the exercise bike again. I've been lazy since Anthony left. I must stop being lazy.

Good morning, all!  I'm very sleepy this morning, but i have a lot to accomplish today. I need to run down to the NYPL at Lincoln Center and make a stop at my pharmacy to fill a prescription, and I have a lot of editing to do.  I'm editing the new score and parts to Jerme Moross' wonderful score to HUCKLEBERRY FINN.

TOD:
   DVD: the Netflix picks from last week are still sitting here unopened
   CD:  compilations of CDs of songs from the 1930s, 1940s, etc
   VCR:  Not tonight, Josephine
