I'll be working today on DISASTER MOVIE on Blu-ray. It's done by the people who put together the negligible EPIC MOVIE, DATE MOVIE, and MEET THE SPARTANS, so I go in with very low expectations.

Surprisingly, there are a lot of bonus features listed on the package. I have no idea of their length, but if they're long at all, I'll be on this package into the evening hours.

One movie I will watch tonight is THE INVISIBLE BOY. It's on the FORBIDDEN PLANET HD-DVD, and I've never seen this little film, so it should be fun. That won't be enough to fill an evening, so I'll look around today for something else to watch after I finish it. Have no clue right now what that would be.

Argh! I meant to write you yesterday to acknowledge that it arrived (completely by surprise!) Very sweet of you, DR Arnold, but unnecessary!

Happy New Year back at 'cha!

Guess I'll head down now to get the laundry ready for washing later and then start thinking about fixing something for lunch.

TCB - I'm so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences.

A happy birthday to our Julie! (So many December birthdays!)

Today is my cousin Tina's birthday party - I'm shlepping over to Costco to pick up her cake and then to the airport to pick up the neighbor lady who helped her so much while I was commuting back and forth, to and from Winnemucca, to get her relocated. That's the birthday surprise!!!

It's her first birthday party since she was a little kid. She is the only daughter of my late Uncle Morey - who owned the Kiru Restaurant with BK's dad, back in the day. Anyway, she has adjusted very well to assisted living and having the family (except her brother Jeff) so near and available. The less said about Jeff Orloff, the better...

I had a great time at the family Hanukah partay last night, at the home of my sister Rikki's son, Jeremy, and his wife. Freshly fried potato latkes with sour cream and caviar, brisket, salad, wads of special cheeses and grapes, a medley of winter vegetables, and Rikki's fresh blackberry cobbler and hand-made English butter toffee.

We had all agreed NO GIFTS, except for something none-too-extreme for Tami's grandchild. Fine - then Rikki brought everyone original art depicting the ol' days in LA - Kiddieland where the Beverly Center is now, Hamilton High, Santa Monica Pier, and LA Airport when it was very new and Space Age-looking. I got the Hamilton High piece... And Tami - who is a demented shopaholic - decimated the Macy's sweater department and gave all and sundried assembled each a sweater. Mike and I just rolled our eyes - no gifts, right?? Says Tami, "It was all on sale!" Says Rikki, "I already had them, and had never hung them!"

There will be gifts aplenty, I tell you, for Tina today!! Her Dear Brother Jeff actually sent a present - apparently some tiny hotel soaps and hair conditioner and lotion from one of his vacations. Nice. She was totally thrilled, of course - considering ANY attention from him AT ALL manna from heaven. <sigh>

The only other gift I sent was to the director of this theater, who gave me this cool job - a copy of - What Else?? - Jewish Thighs on Broadway: Misadventures of a Little Trouper. He and his wife are WAY literary! Oh, and I did bring a Do-It-Yourself Little Golden Book to Bruce on Christmas Eve. Phone calls and personal letters and visiting - that's what my holiday season has been this year. I do love it.

PennyO · « **Reply #71 on:** December 28, 2008, 08:45:52 AM »

I seem to be a solo show right now (speaking of Jewish Thighs...)

PennyO · « **Reply #72 on:** December 28, 2008, 08:47:09 AM »

So, okay -- what else?? Oh, yes - I'm leaving Tina's (great shame - we used to call her Tuna when we were little kids) party early, to get to 'work' at the rehab clinic. Today we'll do white pencil mandalas on black paper. I do love that.

PennyO · « **Reply #73 on:** December 28, 2008, 08:48:21 AM »

Sunny and cold here - but so bright!! What a sky! The drive to Malibu to rehab will be so gawjus!!

PennyO · « **Reply #74 on:** December 28, 2008, 08:49:14 AM »

Who's on right now?? Oh, I see Drux and TCB. Well, boys, off I go to suck down a gallon of coffee and careen into my day. Love to you! Bye.

Hi Penny! I feel like I'm never online when you're online, so this is a special treat.

I just read that Davy Lee has passed away.

For those of you who have not heard of him, Davy was "Sonny Boy," the little kid that Al Jolson sang to in THE SINGING FOOL.

Druxy · « **Reply #80 on:** December 28, 2008, 08:54:54 AM »

When we did a production of my 1-person Al Jolson play in Los Angeles back in the 1980s, Davy attended a performance and, when the actor playing Jolson started singing "Sonny Boy," he invited Davy up on stage, sat him on his knee and they sang the song together.

It was quite a moment.

Druxy · « **Reply #81 on:** December 28, 2008, 08:56:27 AM »

Davy succumbed to the effects of a stroke, which had placed him in a nursing home, on June 17, 2008.

TCB · « **Reply #82 on:** December 28, 2008, 08:56:41 AM »

Thank you, one and all, for the kind words, sympathy, and condolences on the passing of my friend, Stan. I will let his son, Mark, know that there are a lot of prayers being said for Stan today.

DR Vixmom, I'm sorry I didn't post the name of the move but DR Matt did.

I don't remember how long ago or what channel I happened to stop on but it took me awhile to even realize what I was watching. I know it was something about a top. Like I said, it wasn't the same actors. When it hit me that it was the same family, I wanted to see the whole movie but never did.

After this years 24 hour Christmas Story marathon, I decided to try to find it. I did a google search the looked for it on Netflix but no luck. The I went to Ebay and there it was. I thought it would be nice to have it in my collection--even if it isn't as good as the first one.

I would be more then happy to let you borrow it, if you would like. I don't know when it will arrive but it should be soon.

thanks I am going to try and order it form blockbuster.com - I am not very good at mailing things so if you send it to me it may be many many monns befoer you ever see it again - but thank you very much for the offer!

I hope you are feeling better this morning

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I believe my parents, my brother, Mike, his three kids and Don's daughter have just hit the New Jersey Turnpike. And by "hit", I do mean "arrived", "started on". It's Sunday, no "hitting" of any sort is allowed. Well, maybe "hitting on", but...

*I'm glad I "suggested" that they see the 7:00 show tonight at Radio City instead of the 4:00.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #89 on:** December 28, 2008, 09:26:41 AM »

I just made brunch here at the apartment, and it's actually kind of nice being able to enjoy it with the patio doors open. In December!?!?!

*And I'm also digging Fairway's "Fairway to Heaven" blend - perfect for biscotti dipping.
