15 minutes into my Egyptian musical comedy from 1957 (MODERN GIRLS) and I now have a new favorite actor...Mr. Ahmed Ramzy!

I remember the tomb of Ramzy III. (Only from my history books!) Surely this one must be Ramzy The MMIVCLVI

I have been truant for much of the day - funeral and wake.

One of the songs played at the funeral was "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today".  Even given my distate for the singer it was the worst recording (yes worse than Neil Diamond's) I have yet heard.

Ms Bette Midler.

Thank you Dear Reader Laura.  I have yet to meet the Cotton-Top. I hope to do so in the next week or so.

No one, not even MBarnum, can guess the movie campaign that used a variant of uxorious in their ads?  Hint: William Castle.

Had a lovelier than lovely meal at Marie Callendar's with Miss Barbara Deutsch.  We talked about everything under the sun and a few things under the moon.

No, Paul couldn't make up his mind which show he wanted to go to, and I don't see the point in paying full price to go at night when we can go during the day.   So, maybe tomorrow.  I also want to see AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. I may do that tomorrow. I have a feeling it won't be here as long as THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA


Well, if Al Gore and the scientists are correct, neither will we, baby, neither will we.

I'm heading off to bed - yorzeit for my dad today, kinda melancholy. The candle is still burning. The next door neighbors are blowing up about a thousand dollars worth of fireworks! Pop! Pop! Pop! Wheeeeeeeee! Za-zoooo! Pop! Pop! I was over there for a little while - yup, fireworks! Always like 'em.

So, what'll I sleep to tonight? Hmmmm.... maybe something Indiana Jones-ish... maybe The Freshman. Oh, so many decisions... Anyhow, good night, ol' pals and new.

Speaking of The Big Sleep. It should happen to me - I tend toward several small ones. Fingers x'd for a few good solid hours of oblivion.

I'm sleepy, but am now engrossed in the DVD I'm watching, Mr. Don Siegel's film Madigan.

Of course, if we have some peace and quiet in the morning, I'd love to sleep in.

It's been pretty loud in my neighborhood.  There are a couple of groups in the area that are setting off fireworks. :P It seems that all they do is make noise.  Where's the fun in that?

Rodzinski here, checking in from the West Coast. And I don't mean Kentucky. Currently at my sister's place in Berkeley. She took me to an Oakland A's game this evening after which there were some excellent fireworks. TPunk is in San Jose with her mother. Sis and I shall drive there tomorrow and pick those guys up and go to a 4th parade in Morgan Hill, Cal.

We have been flitting hither and yon, Northwest misplaced TPunk's bag on the flight out here, but it did get delivered by the next morning. Actually they just left it out on her mom's porch, which is odd. I slept most of Saturday due to the redeye flight. We have gone swimming a bit, and I have done some music shopping.

Hope everyone is okay here! TPunk's mom does not have a decent computer with internet, so it is hard to post unless you can get ahold of her laptop.

Reminder to BK that we shall be in your neck of the woods Wednesday!

Welcome to the West Coast, Rodzinski!  Too bad you won't be up here in the Northwest on Sunday. :)

TOD: I have worked for a couple remarkably bad and strange bosses. The worst was a pseudo-literary agent, who, I came to figure out, was basically defrauding people left and right. She would take money from anyone on earth who paid her, and she did absolutely nothing for them. Her paranoia was also incredible.

The other freaky boss was an insane photographer, who somehow talked her way into the houses of very wealthy people in Greenwich, Connecticut, to try and convince various trophy wives to let her shoot portraits of them. She was so nuts, I promise you would think I was making stuff up about her if I told you the full range of her quirks. I was her assistant for two weeks.

I know, George! I wish we had just a few more days to head up north. As it is, it is going to be difficult to get on the plane next Monday to head back East. I enjoy the west coast vibe.
