I am recovering. I had a brief shower so that the bandaging may be changed. A little breakfast. Now it's time to finish reading THE HELP.

Good morning, all! Today's only Thursday and I would swear it is Friday. And I soound like Gertrude Stein.

Today is another McGlinnventory day, followed by a couple of hours of editing with Mr Skip Kennon. I've got some newly copied scores taken from the Victor Herbert song manuscripts to edit and lyrics to decipher. I got one song back from my copyist Dan and I left the entire vocal line clear because he couldn't read Herbert's handwriting. I deciphered all but one word, and here's the phrase with the missing word:
   When the sun in golden splendor
   Sinks behind the distant hills
   Then a __________ sweetly tender
   All my inward beng thrills

The word in question is two syllables. On the score it looks as if it's all composed of small case c's, a's, and s's but it's a word like "feeling" or "passion" with the stress on the first syllable. I'm taking the score to the office to enlarge the line on the copier to see if I can decipher it. I need my thesaurus.

Beeeeep! No. I believe "funky" is what can charitably be called an adjective and I need a noun. You lose.

Things were going well at the McGlinnventory until I broke the cassette player.

Dan (the Man) and I almost have exactly the same list:

THE QUIET MAN
THE GRAPES OF WRATH
THE SEARCHERS
HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY
STAGECOACH

I would also add MISTER ROBERTS, but he really co-directed that with Mervyn LeRoy.

I just read the MISTER ROBERTS entry over at IMdB and, aside from a lot of interesting details, I found that Josh Logan also had his hand at the director's helm.

Last night I had a bunch of kitchen catastrophes.

I was going to make chicken on the BBQ and mashed potatoes to take to my sister's house.

It was too hot to bake the chicken. So i boiled it and then was going to BBQ it outside. I don't really like the taste of the regular bbq sauce i have, so i was going to make some. I doubled the recipe so i could have enough for the ribs i'm going to make next week.

Anyhow i was steaming broccoli on one burner. I had the potatoes boiling on another burning. I had the chicken boiling on another burner. And i had the sauce on the last burner. I only had a small pot for the sauce. And even though i was standing right there it boiled over and made the biggest mess.

It was weird. I know i had too much in the sauce (it was higher than 3/4 full). But i had stirred it maybe 1 second before and i had left the lid part way off.

It was just so sticky and messy. And then the BBQ ran out of gas in the middle of my grilling! (figures). Since the chicken was already cooked i just packed it up and grilled it on my grill pan at my sister's house and brushed it with sauce there.

And one i had never heard of called Crazy on the outside.

I'm curious what kind of reviews the movie Sex & The City 2 has been getting.

I loved the series and i loved the first movie. I have been looking forward to seeing the sequel for months (and am going on tuesday). But here they let some man who hated the series and the first movie review the second one. And he gave it a bomb rating.

This really made me angry since he knew he would hate it before even seeing it. And to me to give something a bomb means it is complete crap (which i'm sure this movie is not). Plus there are so many people who are looking forward to seeing it and the bomb rating will just make people feel bad.

It's not like he's writing for some itsy bitsy paper. He's writing for the Montreal Gazette (the main English daily here).

Had my oil changed......in the car, that is....and new windshield wipers installed....so I am ready for this afternoon's rain which will begin as usual just as I walk out the door to leave for rehearsal.

This month on TCM, they have been showing Native American films.....the guest host on those nights has been Professor Hanay Geiogamah, director of the American Indian Studies Center at UCLA. He is one of those insufferable academics who has obviously spent too many years in his ivory tower. His observations are just short....and sometimes not even that....of racist. Why did he choose the films that he did if all he wants to do is say how bad they are....TCM needed another guest host for this series who did not have such a large agenda.

But this is re: the LOST finale and that scene that was shown with the credits. Apparently they were not part of the finale at all. Totally weird that they put the image up if it wasn't part of the show!

I'm not sure if anyone else watched the IDOL finale.

My favorite part was when Paula came on and spoke. And then they had past winners (minus david cook) all sing together for simon. And then past contestants (minus adam lambert) came on. I really thought that was impressive.

I went to Blockbuster and bought 3 DVD's for $20 -

Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr
Amelia
Twilight New Moon

None of them got really great reviews.....but they should be entertaining one way or the other. I didn't buy them in Blu Ray - because who knows if I would have to update my hardware....

No....but if I have to update, I want it to be on a real movie, not a $6 one.

Mr Art Linkletter was a big part of my growing up television experience.

People Are Funny was one of my favorite shows, along with Truth OR Consequences and You Asked For It!

It was on PAF that I saw my first computer....the Univac.....it was as big as a house trailer....and Linkletter used it to match up couples for dating..... And of course Kids Say the Darndest Things books always made me laugh.

Art Linkletter's House Party was a nice change from the afternoon soap operas.....and when he talked to four kids at the end of the show, it was always funny.....
