I thoroughly enjoyed last night's CASTLE episode with wonderful guest stars and an involving story.

I had every intention of settling in with more PERRY MASON episodes this afternoon for my day off when there came a knock at the door, and there the UPS man was standing with the BIG box set of MEL BROOKS COLLECTION: nine films and an enclosed hardbound book about his career with these nine films and lots of color stills from the movies.

So, I began with the first disc in the set - THE TWELVE CHAIRS. The film has NEVER looked this good. Except for a few dust specks a random small scratch or piece of debris, it's a beautiful transfer. The repurposed DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack clearly betrays that the film wasn't released this way with the music seeming to be set apart from the rest of the music, but that John Morris score is delightful.

Love Ron Moody in this movie though Dom DeLuise is as tiresome as usual with his stock overacted routine.

The only bonus on this disc is a trailer gallery for six of the nine movies.

Up tonight: BLAZING SADDLES (which I've already seen on Blu-ray when I first got my PS3, but I haven't watched it in a couple of years, so I'll have to watch it again and go through all the bonuses on the disc.

DR Elmore--regarding the lack of seating space, I don't understand why you didn't make the obvious choice and sit on Cheyenne's lap.

Sure is! Joshie is the son I never had and I really love him. He is such a hoot to collaborate with on an arrangement.

LOVE him. Ever since the concert of The Secret Garden... He is the musical director for my album!

I'm hopping off-line to get some writing done and then I'll head downstairs to continue the Mel Brooks parade with BLAZING SADDLES on Blu-ray (natch!)

DR Dan(the Man), that's a comment I would expect from our DR TCB! It may be the fantasy of several on HHW but it isn't mine.

Our friend Joshie is a multi-talented young man. His orchestration for THE TOYMAKER at NYMF this year was quite amazing.

Oy!  I was on the phone for over a half hour with various and sundried people at Sony in NYC trying to find a contact who handles their Sony Music BD review screeners.  I have never been transferred to so many departments and/or mailboxes (which were all full, BTW, and unable to even take a message) in my life.  Finally they put me through to HR in Sony Music (as opposed to the three other HR departments I had already spoken to in other divisions) and I got a very helpful young lady.  She was helpful no doubt because she started working there yesterday, LOL.  But at least she took my info and promised to look into it and get back to me.  I can't believe it's this labyrinthine.  Universal Music has one PR contact who sends out all the screeners for Uni, Decca and DG.  Is Sony that much bigger?

I will have to return later to read the posts, but I will remind Vixmom that my car repair bill a few weeks ago was $4500! And I was just taking it in for a tune-up--I wasn't having any problems with it. (Yes, I SHOULD have gotten a second opinion!)

GREAT NEWS, HAINESHIS WAY:

Vixmom just posted over at FaceBook (with dispensation from her boss to do so) that her petscan results are back...and she's 100% in remission.

I saw this on Facebook and posted. 

THIS IS GREAT AND WONDERFUL NEWS!! ;D

Nice sentiment and I agree, but these are her kids and their friends, lol. I don't think they had much choice

The Rant & Rave was PACKED last night, and all 8 offerings were KILLER!!! I had so much fun, and loved performing my piece. I ended the first half - blissed out, I tell yiz. A radio show host was in the house - and it looks like R&R may just have a radio presence... fingers x'd...

And I had good news about a story of mine, which was shelved about a year and a half ago when Chicken Soup for the Soul didn't publish the volume it was meant for... then, a couple of months ago, they wrote to tell me they hauled it outa storage and dusted it off for possible inclusion in another book, coming out on March 23, that I was definitely in the running... and they asked for a release and a bio. So yesterday, I got an email that I'm in the final mix of stories, with a typeset copy of the story for final proofreading/accuracy check. I made one correction (someone had erroneously renamed German Town in the east 80's 'Little Germany' ), signed off on it, and sent it off. Yikes!!! Whatta day!!

And this morning I go back to this #%&**()%^ grant application... almost there... deadline tomorrow...

Congrats to DR PennyO for both R&R on the Radio and the Chicken Soup Story!!  Do you know if your story is going to be in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Thanks Mom: 101 Stories of Gratitude, Love and Good Times?  That's due to be published March 23, 2010. :D

The DH is in the shower, giving DD Zach a much-needed bath.  So I thought I'd check in on things here at HHW.

Back from a really nice lunch at the Hamburger Hamlet.  Stopped at Gelson's and got my beloved Parisian Cake for later.  Picked up a few packages, including a nice gift from our very own elmore.  Am now in - quite chilly out, but clear blue skies.  I also found out that Stranger/Tamiko is not going to make it tomorrow - it will be here Thursday morning first thing - so, thankfully Cason is available to come help, because I did NOT want to do all this shipping alone.
