About time to head down to the Loesser office. I've had a profitabe morning doing various tidy-up jobs about the apartment. I'm having a little lunch and heading out.

Plus, if you join ebates.com (free), and enter B&N through their "portal," you get an additional 8% cash back. Cool beans.Are you sure that ebates is free, DR JMK? I once joined something like that after a DeepDiscount order and found that I was being charged 9.99 a month (I had to make a phone call to cancel this membership and get reimbursed.)

Where is the logic behind a studio (and their PR firm) not "fulfilling" titles for the site that gives them their largest readership? I truly do not get it. They will provide screeners to the Podunk Times, with both of its readers, but not to blu-ray.com. Odd, odd, odd.

Haven't been able to read the last few days, so a blanket of vibes for all in need.
Still on South Padre Island for some fun in the sun. This morning we took a birding trip off the coast and ended up seeing dozens of dolphins cavorting in the water. They were splashing around and having a great time. Unfortunately, none of my photos is the perfect shot that I wanted, but they were so beautiful to see that it didn't really matter.

I'm about to make the red velvet cake. I hope it works in the bundt pan. I hope the weather holds out and I don't have to cancel, or attempt to move the gathering to another house.
A WONDERFUL LIFE - THE MUSICAL?
Yesterday, we had a 3-hour recording session and got three more of the Victor Herbert piano pieces recorded; the two bitchiest, the unpublished scherzo and "Mountain Brook," are off our backs, and the only solo left to record is the well-known "Pan Americana." On Thursday we have a full day with Rebecca Luker, who will record several songs including two of Herbert's most famous, "Kiss Me Again" and "Indian Summer." At 3:30 she will be joined by a chorus of six men, including our E&T DRs Jason and DAW and Zak the naked Hercules, to record "Till the Right One comes Along," which I would swear is the original operetta number parodied in the title song from "Little Mary sunshine" (why isn't this silly show done more often?).

This is one of my favorite films; it's very funny and contans possibly the best performance by Bernadette Peters as an actress. Watching Judy Davis chase Hugh Grant is like watching a shark chase a minnow.There's also a porn movie with this title, I hear
