THE FREAKOUT

Well, you've read the notes, the notes have freaked you out, and now it is time for you to post until the freaked out cows come home.  To it, I say.

"Bobbery"?  That's a word?  Never heard of such a word!

I had to look it up:  "Bobbery" means "Hubbub."  I always learn something on HHW! :)

It's my day off.

The dogs decided they wanted breakfast.

They woke me up.

I've fed them their doggie biscuit breakfast, and am trying to work up the ambition to go back to bed.

Good morning/night.

Good morning, all!  My wonderful sister-in-law, cook par excellence, and hostess, Jo Ann, let me stay in this morning to get some editorial work done. She's with my dad at the hospital, and I'll go in around noon.  

It's been quiet here this morning, just me and Mattie and Max the two wonderful muts, which appear to be a mix of German shepherd with God knows what.  They're both a hoot and I'm quite fond of them.

I had to call my Manhattan post office this morning:  Dlyan's uncle has died and he's upstate with family, so my mail is piling up.  I needed to take care of the mess before another item arrives since I don't know at what time he's returning today.

My missing sock showed up under the bed last night.  I swear it was not there when I checked yesterday morning.

I have forgotten the TOD!

I hate computer weirdness....I hope I have had my quota for the year.

My question for ASK BK day.....when the Ricardos & Mertzes were in California at the Beverly Palms Hotel, there was a great backdrop of LA outside their window.  Sometimes it was day and sometimes it was night.  Do you think it was two different backdrops, or the same one lit differently, it seems some of the NEON signs were on at night....which means they would have to change the drop during breaks from filming....

I saw it on another Desilu show....I forget which one....might have been PRIVATE SECRETARY.

Hmmm...the Head On commercials appear to be regional.  Some parts of the country are told to apply directly to the head by a male voice, other parts are told to apply directly to their foreheads by a female.  

Last night, DR Laura posted a link to the forehead version.  I found a more informative version:

Howdy, folks!

Well, the interview yesterday was quite interesting and fun - and, of course, it was ALL ABOUT ME, which I tend to like a lot. BUT - it was apparently the preliminary interview. There will be a callback. OY. Anyway, they seemed to like me, and I liked them - but it was all underlings - secretaries, assistants to the Big People - except there was ONE music teacher there. When they finished their questions - all good questions and thought provoking - they asked if I had any for them.

First - what happened with the last Artistic Director??? Eyes darting around furtively, no one answering... finally, one woman said, "Well, she was a teacher, and she really wanted to go back to teaching..." which was the in the press release when she scrammed outa there...

then I asked the music teacher, "What's your instrument?" He said, "Percussion." I said, "Hey, Paul Gemignani is a percussionist!" He said, happily, "I know!" So that was a nice moment.

Kidz, I am fatally optimistic, just as a personality type - but, I gotta say, I think I aced that audition, and I feel like I OWN this gig!!!

AND, happy birthday to Mark!!!

Okay - so little Pen heads for the showers and hits the road! First to Santa Cruz, to see if I can get a (cheap) apartment for my nephew Travis to live in. Then, NORTHWARD and HOME to the idyllic woods and my birds and my little raccoons and critters and my flowers and the stream...Happy day to y'all!

GOod morning!

It's already hot and muggy here; was when I went out to get the newspaper this morning at 8:15. Ugh! And after all the rain the previous few days, I'm going to have to tackle mowing that lawn either today or tomorrow. It will have to be late afternoon/early evening, though. It'll be hot no matter what time I do it, but at least the sun won't be beaming down on me.

Simply nothing on TV that I'm interested in tonight, so I'll be endeavoring to watch the things piling up on the DVR. Want to finish THE GIRL MOST LIKELY if I possibly can. There is BROTHERS GRIMM which I'm curious to see (it got pretty awful reviews). And I noticed something was recording this morning, but I don't recall what I had set the DVR in advance to record. Probably a musical off either TCM or the Fox Movie Channel, but I won't know for sure until I check while I'm preparing lunch.

I've only used Final Draft for the Horror From Party Beach script, Deceit, and the new play, but I like it pretty well.

Question for Ask BK Day:

While listening to SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING over the weekend, I naturally noticed that you produced this reissue. While I'm grateful that this wonderful music made it to CD, how did you arrive at choosing this item from the unreleased old Columbia catalog as opposed to something like, say, THE MAD SHOW (which is out now but wasn't at the time) or the 1973 CANDIDE or THE THREEPENNY OPERA revival? Is SUBWAYS a guilty pleasure of yours or were there other matters at work?
