BK, I don't know what you need to do about your social security, but there's identity theft just waiting to happen.  Check your car again real good and your bag and everything else.  This has got to be a bitch, but they now know far too much about you.

I stopped carrying my social security card in my wallet a long time ago.  If you've got it memorized...no need to carry it.  I also just refuse to give it out anymore unless it for an actual necessary form.

I bitch to Julieanne all the time about leaving her wallet on shop counters while she's doing transactions.  It's just too easy for you to be distracted and someone sweep by and nip it.

I'm sorry, I know this is a major bitch and half for you!  It's the one thing I'm paranoid about  whenever I'm out.  I know where my where my wallet is all the time.  Man, I feel for you.  I hope it turns up.

Oh, how terrible about the wallet. My last partner left his wallet on the front seat of his car and then walked away from the car with it unlocked. Of course, it was gone when he got back to the car. Fortunately for him, the wallet was found in a gutter (relieved of cash but nothing else) by an honest soul and turned in to the police.

I've had a wonderful evening of filmed entertainment. First, I finished TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME and also watched the outtakes on the disk. I'm not sure I ever watched "Baby Doll" before. If I had, I didn't remember it. "Boys and Girls Like You and Me" was on the BALLGAME laserdisc, so I've seen it many times.

Next came WORDS & MUSIC on laserdisc. The laserdisc box claimed this was a Technicolor restoration, and it did look quite nice.

Funniest thing to me is that Perry Como plays the part of Eddie Egan during the movie (a pretty big part), and then at the end of the film, he's introduced by "Richard Rodgers" as Perry Como singing "With a Song in My Heart." I'll never understand why they did that.

I then put in HIT THE DECK (a DVD-R I burned from the laserdisc) and watched selected numbers.

I've been going through a real MGM musical mania phase for the past couple of weeks. Can't get enough of them.

Once it got good and dark, I put in THE INNOCENTS. Boy, does it ever look wonderful! And I jumped a couple of times! What a genuinely creepy and unsettling movie this is! Highly recommended.

I've cued up DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE to watch tomorrow. Haven't seen it in a couple of years, so that should be a fun Sunday afternoon.

I received DEVIL AT 4 O'CLOCK from Netflix today and I really don't know why I ordered it....there is no one in it that I am interviewing...I must have been fixated on Kerwin Mathews for a moment or two and just put it into my movie queue.

BK_ Hope you find the wallet or that someone was just out for cash, tosses the rest and it's found and returned. That happened to me a couple times when I lived in Phoenix.

SPRING AWAKENING is beautifully staged, and contains some nice writing - but the whole on-the-nose approach to teen sexuality (although I'm pretty sure the actors are all adults) made me feel icky almost throughout.  The masturbation number in the first act almost felt pornographic (heck, maybe not even almost), and when I say it must be seen to be believed, that may make people want to see it for themselves, and I suspect that scene will be much talked about, unless they tone it down a bit.  Definitely not for kids under 18, this one.

Right now, I'm watching the group Pink Martini on PBS (beg-fest) and they're fabulous (their piano player is very attractive, but that's not why they're fabulous...I have their two CDs).  Anyway, they're from Portland, Oregon, which is where the show was recorded!  They're local!  They're also going to be performing at the Chateau St. Michelle in July, the day after A Prairie Home Companion starring Garrison Keillor performs. ;D

Good Evening!

Back from seeing "Stagedoor" with DRs elmore and Ben, and my Dear Friend, James.  A nice little movie/documentary.  Ah, gotta love that teen angst and drama.  Beforehand, we supped at Hannafin's.  Good food all around.  Good company too!

Goodnight.

BK - Have you checked with your bank to see if anyone has tried to used your credit card yet?  If you have, and no one has, let's just hope that your wallet is just missing and not stolen.

BK -- I am so sorry to hear about your wallet.  It happened to me once (including the SS card I had since I was sixteen).  Of course, in my case, any attempt to use my SS # could only improve my credit rating.

I have also been watching Pink Martini.  They are fantastic.  I had never heard them before.


George, I agree about the piano player and the trumpet player.
