Well, you've read the notes, you've forgotten the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the forgotten cows come home.

I saw part of the film that MR BK discusses in the notes today - but since I didn't get in from the beginning, I was lost and gave up....seeing it on regular TV with all the commercials didn't help.  People kept popping up who didn't seem to have anything to do with the plot - it looked like a Universal Made For TV movie....

In any case...

I do need to get ready to head in for another day of auditions.  Today is an "agent's submission" day which usually means I will be smiling all day while I'm at the piano.  -And not one of those "OMG is this person really that bad" kind of smiles. ;D

Good morning, all! I slept late, partially provoked by another evening of escapades from the noisy neighbor above me sometime after 1:30 am.

I have a trek down to Toyland followed by lunch with Rob Berman. After that, I'll come back here to work on more Victor Herbert reports.

I have never heard of a Slanket before you mentioned it last night.  They show the snuggie on the shopping channel sometimes. Although i thought they said it was soft. But the imitations i see at the store do not look like they would be soft.

The snuggie is very popular. I think oprah had it on her show too. I guess read some reviews and see which ones people say are the most comfortable.

I'm packing up and will y'all when I'm back in the ATL. I'm going straight to my in-laws to see my D-I-L and then to the hospital on the way home to see M-l-L, so it will probably a while!

My favorite wacky genre in fiction lately is what I call the enobling white trash fiction, which was also known as the Oprah book selection a few years back. Dreadful tales of poor white girls in novel after novel. Titles like "The Book of Ruth," "She's Come Undone," "Ellen Foster," "Rapture of Canaan." All really silly in their earnestness and depressing nature. And all marked with Oprah's blessing. All seemingly marked for made-for-TV movies.

This goes back to the discussion of why watch something you know to be crap. I couldn't get enough of these books. Each was uniquely awful, but it was like chocolates in a box. I kept reading each and enjoyed howling at them.

MIRAGE

DS Betsy has been trying for years to remember an amnesia movie she saw (that's rather funny, now that I think about it), where someone was brainwashed and there was a scene in an elevator where striking a match was the "code" (a la Manchurian Candidate) to get the amnesiac to do something.  Does that ring a bell with anyone?
