The third time was indeed the charm and I now have the last proof of "The March of the Toys" in my possession. It was in the carton I checked yesterday, but I guess my hasty check was too hasty. I've got my meds and all is well. In about an hour, when I've warmed up - it's cold out there today! - I'll run to the post office and mail a cassette to my publisher and then stop at the market for some chicken cutlets.

Peter O'Toole: THE LION IN WINTER
MY FAVORITE YEAR

My favorite performance of his is Henry Higgins, which I saw him do with my beloved Amanda Plummer as Eliza in PYGMALION.

I'll have the afternoon to myself and then once it gets dark, I'll watch FRIDAY THE 13TH Part 3 in 3-D. I think the 3-D may work better in a completely darkened room. At least, that's how I'm going to handle it. Then, I'll have plenty of time tonight to write it up. Other than the 2-D version and maybe the trailer, I don't think there are any other bonus features on the disc.

I saw Petula Clark in the national tour of SUNSET BOULEVARD and I actually liked her takes on the songs more than Betty Buckley's renditions which I saw in NYC. The Broadway production was, of course, much more magnificent in its opulence than the tour's sets, but as the show was not really great anyway, I just sat back and enjoyed Petula's performance.

Good morning!

Glorious day here. Not a cloud in the sky and not hideously cold either. A perfect late January day!

Matt H., I hope you find time to go outside and enjoy the day.

I'm up, I'm up. Had a weird dream. It's very pretty out. Editor e-mailed and we're back on for this morning.

Back in 1996, I saw Petula Clark on the London stage in SUNSET BOULEVARD.

Loved her, but aside from one song ["With One Look"], I didn't think much of the show.

The first time I met Petula was in Hollywood at radio station KFWB where she was signing 45s (I had my 45 of Downtown signed - heaven knows what happened to it). Then I saw her in Las Vegas in the mid-1970s where she shared the bill with, if I remember correctly, Michel Legrand or Joel Grey (can't remember which, but most likely the former). Then I met her backstage and then supped with her when I was thinking about recording Blood Brothers. Then we did our album. Then I saw her in Sunset Blvd. and we had a marvelously marvelous time at the little opening night party they threw.

I am trying to figure out whether I'll jog today - it's cutting it close if I start at nine and I certainly won't be ready to start before then. We shall see.

A little too chilly to spend much time outside. I'll have to wait for warmer days ahead.

Matt H., I hope you find time to go outside and enjoy the day.

GAnd I'm also glad that bk is enjoying THE PRISONER!

And what took him so long?

I recently loaned the series to my friend Jeff from the store, and he loved it.

Ditto for this wish as well. I am blushing. Thank you very much DR Edisaurus!!!!

Where did you get a picture of my cat?

Spittin' image!

S. Woody White · « **Reply #86 on:** January 31, 2009, 09:16:59 AM »

My own favorite Pet Clark songs are Color My World and 'Round Every Corner.

Downtown was overplayed, and lost it's punch IMO, but obviously a lot of people think I'm wrong on that one.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #87 on:** January 31, 2009, 09:20:14 AM »

I've always thought it was a good thing that Peter O'Toole never had much of a singing career.

It's even better that he never sang a duet with Lee Marvin.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #88 on:** January 31, 2009, 09:22:43 AM »

If that picture of Edi's cat keeps getting copied, we can be in Cinerama on every page!

I don't think we've ever managed that before!

(Happy Birthday, Michael.)

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

I'm up, I'm up.. And I guess my tea should be ready. It's been steeping for almost an hour.
