Also glad to hear of DR Jose's safe arrival in the Philippines (Monkey's, too!).

Thanks, Jane!  Now that we're here and have the logistics all worked out, I'm getting excited about tomorrow's event.

DR Cilla to be in the top 10 fundraisers is impressive.  Great job!  I wonder what they will give you.  Isn't there some kind of gift bag everyone gets?



Not really a gift bag. There were a few coupons in the packet I picked up. We do all get t-shirts

I began my evening with PIGS AND BATTLESHIPS. The director was kind of the Quentin Tarentino of his day in Japan, and the film was a satirical comedy-drama about the mores among some yakuzas and some would-be kept women at the American Naval Base in Japan (in Yokosuka, I believe).

Interesting more from the woman's story than from the man's, and the director clearly sees her as the heroine of the piece. The man dies with his head in a toilet.

There were two bonus features on the disc. The first was an hour-long documentary shot for French TV on the director as he went through a typical day and remembered some of his films. Irritatingly, the films themselves weren't identified in the generous helping of clips included in the documentary.

The other was a 15-minute critique of the movie by critic Tony Rayns. Criterion often uses him to do commentary or video essays on their Japanese films, and he's one of the best.

Next, I watched last night's 30 ROCK. Pretty silly stuff but Alan Alda had some good lines as Alec Baldwin's father.

And I ended my evening with tonight's GHOST WHISPERER. It was a fine episode though I never quite get as worked up over the stories about troubled teens as I do the ones dealing with adults in crisis.

As I mentioned to bk when he was here, his posting of "Turkey Lurkey time" from his December Bacharach show benefit is now over 1,000 views, and that's in less than a week.

Here's the tower from the TV station where JHVW used to work.  He always thought it was going to fall some day...he was right the storm today took it down

I'm going to do a bit of writing before heading downstairs, so I'll jump off-line now and get to work.

Good night!

Back from a fabulously fabulous dinner at Fred and Skip's.  Food was, as always, exemplary, as was the company.  More in the notes, which I must now attempt to write - and yes, there is video, which I'm uploading now to tinypic.com and will post as soon as I can.

I watched some of the Brent Barrett/Rachel York KISS ME KATE again.  Michael Barresse is a fine Bill....and Barry McNeill and Nick Winston are also terrific as the other two suitors.

Good Afternoon!

-Well, it's just after noon here, where I am. :)

And, yes...

I'm up, I'm up... And I really don't think I've slept more than three hours - if that! - since Wednesday. -But since I "lost" a day traveling... Hmmm...
