I did a very brisk long jog, delivered the cover material for our next release - and we have a very tough decision to make as to which cover to use for the cover and which to use on the back of the booklet. We should use the lead-off title for the CD - that would make sense - but that cover is really ordinary, whereas the second title (at least it comes second in the playing order) is fantastic. But the other title has to lead because that composer is the selling point. So, what to do, cover-wise? Go with the lead-off title and boring cover, or the second title with the great cover.

Can you split the two covers on the front?

Just did a wonderful two hour interview with 1950s actor Steve Terrell (star of INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN, MOTORCYCLE GANG, DRAGSTRIP GIRL and RUNAWAY DAUGHTERS). What a great guy!

Ironically, I heard from PennyO just an hour ago via e-mail - she'll be back.

Today's posts should therefore be renamed

I am sure Mr Terrell had plenty to say! And I don't think I have ever read an interview with him.

The Apartment/Irma La Douce/The Fortune Cookie arrived at my house today.

I shall now prepare to go to the theatre for our first Saturday night performance.

I remember candy cigarettes. I always liked those.

Boy, it started out as a gangbuster Saturday, but it has kind of petered-out.

TCB - you're right - I thought we'd be to page ten already.

Does someone know the startling secret of why Lost, Season Four is only fourteen episodes? How do you go from twenty-three to fourteen? I know season five was only seventeen. Seems a little weird to me.

bk · « **Reply #226 on:** August 08, 2009, 02:27:36 PM »

Third most used line on Lost - after "What?" and "Excuse me?" is "Now why would I want to do that?"

They went to what basically amount to half seasons for the last three years.

I saw A PERFECT GETAWAY today.

It's a good thriller, but I wish all the reviewers hadn't talked about its "twist ending".

If they hadn't, I might not have figured out the twist five minutes into the movie.

I've been working on yardwork today, since it's not as hot as usual. It is getting warm, though.

I watched the last MURDER SHE WROTE episode in the Season 10 box as I cooked and ate lunch. A wave of thefts had hit Cabot Cove when a carnival came to town, and the master magician played by Bradford Dillman was suspected. But then he's murdered.

The actor who plays Philip Chancellor III, Thom Bierdz, guest starred in this episode.

The original renewal for LOST after season three was for three more years of 18 episodes each. The Writers' Strike cut season four's number and as I understand from the bonus features, some subplots had to be dropped to squeeze in enough plot for the 14 episodes they had to work with that season.

I started watching VERTIGO while I was finishing up lunch. I got up to the point when Kim Novak is about to jump in the bay. I'll continue with it tomorrow

We spent the day chair shopping. Our love seat/couch is wearing out and we have decided it might be easier, in our small apartment, to have two small club or wing chairs and a table between them instead of a love seat. We have seen some possibilities but nothing jumped out at us. There was something at Macy's we would have bought if it had different fabric but to get different fabric without the nail buttons would have been another two months of waiting and another at least $200 to the price so we passed on that. We went to West Elm and the Door Store and we've looked on line. There are things at Penney's Home Store but that will have to wait until another trip to Long Island (probably around Labor Day) since there is a new J.C. Penney in Manhattan but they have no furniture. That is only available at the Home Store. We don't want to buy chairs without looking at them and sitting in them. Oh, well. We got out in the beautiful Manhattan day so it wasn't a total loss.

I don't know what we will have for dinner. We had a wonderful Anniversary dinner last night at East of Eighth. Anthony had a wrap and I had grilled chicken breasts and we split a piece of chocolate cake for dessert. Anthony's camera has decided it needs to stop working so there are no pictures available.

I did get 1 1/2 episodes of DEXTER watched. I'll continue with it when I go back down.

Sorry, I should have known that Matt could answer that.

.......Apparently, after 14 years, the honeymoon is over. What next? Twin beds?
