Haines His Way

It would have to be on at the same time as The Apprentice!  Of course, I do have three VCRs so that the taping of the TV show will absolutely NOT be a problem!!

The curse of people who write for a living is that you never quite get the feeling that you're finally no longer in school.
Tonight, for example, fueled by popcorn and hot chocolate, I'll be pulling as much of an all-nighter as I can manage. I have a big meeting with the right coast tomorrow for which I need to have all my ducks in a row story-wise. (Yes - I'm writing a script about duck hunting.) I'm the one who suggested tomorrow because I tend to thrive under pressure. Let us hope. My ideas are there - floating all over the place. I just need to rope them in and organize them.

BTW - On my way home from borrowing some popcorn (I ran out and who wants to go to the supermarket this time of night with millions of frenzied post-work Christmas-crazed shoppers) - anyway, on my way home, I decided that I needed something sweet. I dropped in to a local bakery/restaurant. They had a slew of interestingly flavored bagels. Usually I abhor sweet bagels, but this time I was willing to give them a taste. This is a place that usually has samples sitting on the counter. I asked if there were any samples available of the cinammon crunch bagels. The young clerk said, "Samples? No. I'll just give you a bagel. If you like it, you'll buy one next time. If you don't like it, I'll give you another flavor."
And he did. And I did like it. And next time I WILL buy one. Now THAT'S good customer PR!

Goodnight, Elmore!

I liked the Hungarion My Fair Lady.  

I'm on for all three hours, which is why the notes will be going up at one or later.

Thank you, Panni!  I can listen. . .through Musicmatch Jukebox  

Td thank you very much for the vibes.

Danise thanks for your caring thoughts and good wishes.
Good car possibility vibes.  Are you aware of the gas prices on those SUV’s?  Some only take premium gas.

Thank you TCB for your sympathies and healing vibes.

Panni I like that bagel store.   :)Do they have egg bagels?  I ate my last one the other day.

Aw elmore I miss you too and thanks

Bruce can I get a recording of your radio show?

I'm going to attempt to record it.  It's three hours long, so I don't know if that's too much for my computer to handle, but we'll see.  If it works (and that's a big IF), I can make copies for people...unless Bruce can get copies.

I think the station can ultimately provide me with a tape or CDs.

DR Jose:

The best of health vibes to your father.

Bruce are you going to be on the entire three hours?

There is, SWW, the additional pleasure of watching both a young Al Pacino and a young James Caan.

Neither of whom have ever been a turn-on for me.  That's horseracing.

I think MR BK wants us to call in when he is on the air.

Good vibes to DR Jane's cousin and DR Jose's father.

Al Pacino is actually the star of the three GODFATHER films, not Marlon Brando. Truth be told, I think Brando's role in more supporting in the first one than leading (though his is the character's name in the title). Brando does not appear in either II or III.

Yes, I abhor violence in films, and THE GODFATHER films, particularly the first, have scenes of visceral violence, but it's not merely for shock value. It defines the people and their code of conduct.

We got through the recording of the show tonight. I had one small slip of the tongue in my monologue (sad to say, before I get drunk which might have covered it otherwise), but anyway, I think the taping went well. I'm delighted that's over, however. I can enjoy the rest of the run without feeling under any undue pressure.
