And I am out of here and heading downstairs to bed.

Good night!

Speaking of ice cream, I DO have something to say.

I had a nice bowl of vanilla ice cream tonight...and poured a libation of Godiva Chocolate liqueur over it.

BLISS!

I just had some Peanut Butter Cup ice cream in a float with Diet Coke.

Bliss as well.

MBarnum, I've watched half of the Surfside Six - boy is she beautiful in it.

Page Seventeen Harry, Ron, and the Patil twins NOT dancing Dance!!!

Now, I'm really heading down.

Good night!

Someone mentioned it here a few weeks ago - but, I'm watching The Sniper - and someone had said it had two jump out of your seat moments. I've heard this about older films and I never find it true, just because we've had so many jump out of your seat moments in decades since. Well, those two moments came and I did indeed jump - they're really shocking and brilliantly directed and would work in a movie theater with a full house even today.

I am here, but for some reason, I have nothing to say.

That is all.

A day with no excitement. Sounds good to me!

Just finished smoothing out what I'd written today - almost eleven pages - something of a record for me - although I think on one of the Krtizer books I did about sixteen in one day. I mostly liked what I read - I cut one little paragraph, and really smoothed out some awkwardly worded stuff, and I think it's compelling, at least I hope it is.

And I still got goosebumps when I reread the line that had given them to me when I wrote it.

Will we never reach page eighteen?

I won a couple of really spiffy movie posters in an auction that ended last night. All the posters were linen-backed, and a group of 12 posters began dwindling rapidly as bids skyrocketed beyond my meager means to procure them all.

Still, I set me sights on three...and won two.

Here is one of them...a "British quad" (similar to a half-sheet....roughly 40" X 40")

And the other is one that has eluded me over the years, but obviously for good reason, as this one is a pip:

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #493 on:** April 05, 2007, 11:30:23 PM »

Those are nice, DR Ron Pulliam.

bk · « **Reply #494 on:** April 06, 2007, 12:49:11 AM »

I said it before, and I'll say it again - will we never get to page eighteen? Finished watching The Sniper, which was not a movie about eBay, and I shall now write Ye Olde Notes.

We're here! We just had a lovely dinner with a couple of our Angelino friends at a French restaurant at the Farmer's Market. Boy, has THAT area changed. I hadn't been there in at least 10 years!

The weather in LA is absolutely stunning, and there is so much in bloom, but without the accompanying pollen that we get in the south. I love it here!

And the LA Times gave us a good review, which should be in tomorrow's paper. Hooray!

Wow...it's weird to be out here in LA in the same time zone as bk, watching as the notes get ready to go up!

It took a day to get the wireless internet to work because the clerks do not understand the technology at all. I drove to their partner hotel today and was able to get the instructions on how to make it work for Macs and now I'm good to go!

We're staying at the same hotel we always stay at. I've been staying here for the last 15 years when I work in LA. It's remarkably cheap ($78/night) and has a charming courtyard swimming pool. Unbelievably quiet. It could use a little freshening up, but who couldn't?

I didn't realize that both of tonight's "Ugly Betty" and "Grey's Anatomy" were repeats.

George · « **Reply #499 on:** April 06, 2007, 01:19:15 AM »

And since we're so close...

POST # 500!!

We will have luminaries at the film tomorrow---a former writer for Andy Kaufman, the writer of the Hellraiser movies, a writer from MAD ABOUT YOU as well as lots of movies, my hero, Van Dyke Parks, and our grand mensch, bk. Plus various and sundried friends, past and present.

George · « **Reply #502 on:** April 06, 2007, 01:20:03 AM »

Right now, I'm watching last night's "Medium." It's a pretty intense episode!

There are too many posts to catch up on!

So I will just talk about myself!

bk · « **Reply #505 on:** April 06, 2007, 01:23:20 AM »

edisaurus, did you get my e-mail response? Miss Patti and I will be there with bells on - but will you have any time over the weekend to do a nice dinner somewhere?

Edisaurus · « **Reply #506 on:** April 06, 2007, 01:23:41 AM »

I have mentioned before about the evil developer who almost ruined our lives.

We had quite a few phone calls this morning around 6am from friends who didn't know we were in LA. They called to tell us that the evil developer was on the front page, and that the 5 story loft he built 10 feet from our National Register house is going into foreclosure. It delved into lots of gory details including some of his underhanded dealing with local politicians. Sweet!

That's great news! Of course, it's sad that this all ever had to happen, but it's karma, baby...Karma!!

Oh, just checked my email. That must be saying something...I check HHW first!

Dinner, yes, yes!

How about Saturday night?

We're staying near the corner of Crenshaw and Wilshire. And remember the theatre I had asked you about months ago? It was one that has always intriguied me but I didn't know the name. (It's a block from my hotel) Anyway, it's called the Wilshire Ebell. Does the name ring E-bell?
