I REST MY CASE

Well, you've read the notes, you rest your case, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently resting their collective cases and sitting on their collective ASSES!

Topic of the Day:

In my DVD player:  Kevin Spirtas' DVD, "Night and Days."  Kevin gives such a fun performance!  I brought it to work yesterday to show my co-worker Ruth (she loved the CD that she borrowed from me) and she told me that she received her very own copy just the day before, also!  She didn't know about the audio commentary and I told her that she MUST listen to it...and that BK is the King of DVD commentaries! ;D After that will be "The Alien Conspiracy: Grey Skies" that I got from Netflix.com.  It features our very own Rodzinski!!  (And I think he may have even written part of it...is that correct?)  

In my CD player at work:  my brand new copy of the original cast recording of A New Brain.  After that, I don't know.  I boxed up ALL of my CDs and put them in storage.  I have to continue to clean my house (I'm taking way too much time and my sister is getting antsy ::)).  

In my VCR:  nothing.  I forgot to check tvguide.com to see if there was anything that I wanted to tape tonight.  I do have a couple of tapes from a few weeks ago and I have no idea what's on them, so there will be a bit of a surprise. :)

And on the condo front, it looks like I've gotten a couple of preliminary pre-approval offers from mortgage lenders!!  I don't know what the "official" chain of events is supposed to be, but I'll find out soon enough.  Wish me luck!

Nothing to report for topic of the day. I'm busy working on the Meadows Foundation (in Dallas, Texas). I have to do the laundry after work and then we will go out for dinner. I'm here in the office on Saturday and we have no plans for Sunday.

Bye.

Good morning, all!  The last Frdau in August.  Summer is almost over, and I feel it was here for no time at all.  My allergies were kicking in, so I guess hay fever is around the corner.  I needed some Nyquil to help me sleep and I ended up sleeping too long.  So now I have to plan my day:  laundry, library, and the charts for Klea Blackhurst.

Cecily's eyes went into a SACCADE as she watched hundreds of cicadas CASCADE down the forest tree trunks.  She'd heard they were good to eat, but the idea made her twitchy.

TOD:

DVD player:

Night and Days.  Der Brucer really enjoyed it; I found Mr. Spirtas' delivery of the material to be too much at the same level, and wished he'd had a few quieter numbers.  Horseracing.

I tried once again to watch the movie of the musical The Producers, but I cannot get past that first office scene.  Broderick is too forced and lacks spontaneity, and Lane isn't much better.  I found myself wanting to watch the original film instead.

CD player:

Sunday in the Park with George, London cast.  I'm really enjoying it.

By Request, Wendy Carlos.  A trip down memory lane.

Book:

The Food of France, Waverly Root.  Heavy with history, this one.  It's going to take me a while to get through it, but it is a classic and will be worth my time.

So that is why the store where I work has customers!  I'd been wondering!

Good morning!

It was surprisingly cool when I got up and went out to get the newspaper, but within an hour, the cool had vanished and it was back to warm. The joys of a Southern summer.

Looks to be a beautiful (albeit hot) day.

DR Donna, I am a HUGE fan of the film STAR! and have loved it ever since I first saw it.

I had a letterboxed version of DRLING LILI which I taped off AMC years ago, but I junked it when the DVD came out. I wish you'd mentioned it sooner. I'd have been glad to send it to you.

I've caught up on yesterday's posts.

Perhaps there is a new crime we should consider - Terrance Malick with Forethought, forcing someone to watch one of his films!

I've been up since five-thirty - the phone rang - NY call, someone thinking that my home line was somehow my office line or something.  I didn't take the call, but I couldn't go back to sleep.  I just lay in my bed like so much fish, then watched a bit of a movie - so, three whole hours of sleep I've had.  Must try and catch up this weekend.

HIYA ALL!
In my VCR (just when will I get a DVD player!) is STAR! starring Julie Andrews as Gertrude Lawrence.

I love this movie! Julie gets to really strut her stuff singing, dancing and acting. And those costumes by Donald Brooks! Of course, it helps to have good writing (William Fairchild), directing (Robert Wise) and choreography (Michael Kidd). The last part of the film is especially well-written and acted. Daniel Massey, a particular favorite of mine who died too young, puts in a wonderful performance as Noel Coward and Richard Crenna is solid as her husband.

I'm trying to find a VT version of that other musical she did around this time called Darling Lili.

Dear esteemed BK:

Is your copy of Spirit of St. Louis part of the Jimmy Stewart Signature Collection?  I was just now checking the product listing at Amazon, and it looks like a package I'd like to have.

Yes, it's part of that package.  I must warn in advance that the transfer of The Naked Spur (which I'll be writing about shortly) is pretty awful - soft to the point of being completely out of focus - with no detail whatsoever.
