I believe I'm doing the role(s) played by William Parry. How could I say no to FJL and Skip? I leave on October 1st, so won't be there for the gathering, but I'm quite certain we'll have a few whilst I'm there. And, there's a good chance I'll be back on the 19th of October for three days.

Well, we'll just miss you, BK, but wish you all kinds of broken legs! BTW, I love my sparkling prize!

Well, I'm going home.

Again, great news about The Last Starfighter!

Tonight on TCM....WRATH OF GOD which was Ms Rita Hayworth's last movie of note is on....it's a pretty good flick with Robert Mitchum...

Jrand73 · « **Reply #186 on:** August 22, 2006, 08:13:01 PM »

Things to do.....Mr BK finished the song and the scenes! Such a bizzy bee since he has been jogging.

Cillaliz, the snakes in a theater is overblown. That theater is out on the very edge of town where snakes would not be uncommon. The snake was ten inches long and was in a hallway and probably got in there on its own.

I loved Trixie Belden!! She's on my second list of favorites along with Charlotte and Thomas Pitt.

I loved Trixie Belden too!! I borrowed the entire series from my older cousin for a few years when I was younger, and I read them over and over again. One of my favorite series ever.

What a great time to be in NYC! Congrats to all!

I started the evening watching an episode of THE WILD WILD WEST from the first season boxed set. This one had to do with a puppetmaster who trapped Jim and Artemus in a giant puppet theater. Lloyd Bochner was the puppeteer.

Then I watched THE LOVES OF CARMEN on TCM. My eyes popped out at the rich, rich, rich Technicolor and superbly sharp print used in this telecast. This was the richest, most saturated Technicolor I've ever seen on a commercial TV broadcast.

This had to have been the zenith of Rita Hayworth's beauty even more than in COVER GIRL or DOWN TO EARTH.

I really like the new song! I've been singing it all the livelong day and night, trying to lock its rhythms and cadences, not necessarily in that order. I think it will really be a nice moment for the actress playing that part.

Matt H. · « **Reply #193 on:** August 22, 2006, 08:27:54 PM »

By the time CARMEN went off, I caught the last 20 minutes or so of LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT. NBC is moving the show to this time slot in the new season, so I have to get used to its being there. Of course, it'll be competing with HOUSE for an audience - a mighty tall order.

Matt H. · « **Reply #194 on:** August 22, 2006, 08:29:19 PM »

RESCUE ME had another of its patented hilarious and yet also gut-wrenching episodes. [sigh]

The season finale is next week. Its season has flown by.

Matt H. · « **Reply #195 on:** August 22, 2006, 09:01:23 PM »

Off to bed now. What a long and busy day it has been!

Good night!

Matt H. · « **Reply #196 on:** August 22, 2006, 09:01:56 PM »

Well, I had to post one more to reach a milestone for me.

Now, good night for real!

Penny, my copy was packed into storage just this past weekend, but the library where I work has three copies circulating in various branches. If you want, I could make you a copy. Let me know.

Yes! That would be so excellent!!!

Watched "Night and Days" and watched one bit of commentary (which failed to answer a burning question -who did the wonderful arrangement of "If Ever I Would Leave You"?) I generally don't appreciate most re-arrangements, but this one was great!) I dare not comment until I listen to every last bit of chatter least I speak the fool.

I must admit it was wonderful listening to a performer do many familiar songs and make them his own without straying too far off of the path - Kevin's very own phrasing seems to be the secret.

I tried to edit my earlier post to add a pic of the birthday hound, but it didn't work. So here's another attempt....

Ooooohhhh! Said birthday hund is quite gawjus!!!

Congrats to Skip, FJL and BK on the Starfighter casting!

DR Laura - great photos. Thanks for posting your adventures!

And now, off I go to bed. That cat was yowling at 6:30 this morning, and wouldn't stop until I got out of bed and brought the food around... very weary from a day of murdering weeds and ripping up vine maples. Not as spry as I once was. And so, to bed!

What wonderful news about BK's appearance in New York. No offense, BK, but I was hoping they might ask Guy Haines.

bk · « **Reply #204 on:** August 22, 2006, 10:34:11 PM »

Guy wasn't available, so they took sloppy seconds. I'm so looking forward to my first NY trip since a year ago last July! And then perhaps a second trip a mere three weeks later.

bk · « **Reply #205 on:** August 22, 2006, 10:34:45 PM »

I'm listless - tried to watch a movie, but not in the mood. I did watch an interesting documentary earlier, about which more later.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #206 on:** August 22, 2006, 11:12:15 PM »

By the way, BK, great book cover.

George · « **Reply #207 on:** August 23, 2006, 12:13:26 AM »

I watched some bits of the Kevin Spirtas DVD again, tonight. It's still good.

George · « **Reply #208 on:** August 23, 2006, 12:14:05 AM »

After work, I went to the brand new Borders Books & Music that just opened up here in Olympia...either yesterday or this past weekend!

George · « **Reply #209 on:** August 23, 2006, 12:15:37 AM »

(Almost there...page 8

) I have the original Broadway cast recording to A New Brain, but I can't find it! And I've been looking for a couple of years.

So, I just bought a new copy. Now, I don't have to look for it, but I'll probably find it within a few days.
