I was delighted to get a few DVDs of films I didn't already have in my collection including SILENT MOVIE and THE LOVED ONE. Will look forward to watching them over the course of the next week.

If I were upstairs, I'd put on a Disney character dance, but since I'm not at that computer, I'll have to do my own Isadora Duncan stylized mazurka!

We began our evening of viewing with RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER. It was rebroadcast on CBS tonight, but we watched it from a DVD thus avoiding all commercials. I never watched this when I was growing up. I was a teenager when it first started appearing, and I guess I felt I was too old for it. Now, it's sort of primitive and sweet.

And then we watched (also from a DVD) IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Didn't get to it last year, so it was good to see it again, and I cried at the end just like I always do.

And now I think I will also follow the lead of others and head for bed.

Good night!

I'm watching "The Kennedy Center Presents the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor Celebrating Neil Simon."  I recorded it on November 22nd and I'm just NOW watching it.  It's great!  Nathan Lane, Robert Klein and Lucie Arnaz singing "They're Playing My Song," Christina Applegate singing "Hey, Big Spender!"  That's as far as I've gotten, so far. :)

"They're playing My Song" - I wiped it from my memory bank.  A waste of time and space IMHO.

JUST for DR Tomovoz!

THEY’RE PLAYING MY SONG

Ho, ho they’re playing my song;
Oh, yeah, they’re playing my song,
And when they’re playing my song
Ev’rybody’s gotta sh, sh, sh,
Don’t say a word now, listened to the sweet melody.
I’m happy to say, in my own humble way,
Ev’ry perfect note of that was written by me.

Ah, ha, they’re playing my song;
That table’s humming along.
That couple half out the door
Is coming back to hear more of my music.
At first, I thought this place was a dive.
I chose it in haste but they showed they got taste,
As long as they’re playing my song.

Heather Headly is singing a very jazzy version of "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" from Promises, Promises...she's good!

Thank you for the spirit of giving François.  Fortunately the song is so bad it won't hang around in my head like so much fish!\

Lyrics are almost as banal as those by Robin Gibb.

MMM another Pop musical I've never bothered to get on CD! (Yes I know it's a favourite of many).
I do like the songs as sung by Dionne Warwick, but not the musical at all! A regular turkey!

Before Cannibal:  The Musical ended, I wanted to give the other "Indians" a closing night gift (which I've never really done before).  Anyway, I had this idea to make a CD with pictures of us in costume and the songs would be Madonna's "Vogue" (we actually used some Vogue poses in the show...it was our inspiration!), Bette Midler's "I'm Beautiful," RuPaul's "Supermodel (You Better Work)" and through very kind courtesy of Michael Shayne (because my copy is still in storage) "Wishing You a Drag Queen Christmas," sung by B.D. Wong.  I had to borrow my niece's printer and install it on my computer (her computer is not working after the power outage this past weekend) but I'm finally able to finish the CDs and print the booklets!  Hopefully, I'll be able to get them to the guys before Christmas...or at least, not too long after.  And that's what I've been working on tonight:  printing the booklets.  :)
