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

Good morning, all! I've been trying to catch up for an hour, during which I made two phone calls to Time Warner about my internet service being down, rebooted, uplugged and plugged in everything connected to this computer, and now Asha, the very pleasant young lady at Time Warner on my second call - the first one, Samantha, was also very charming - has me reconnected to the worldwide web. This all began last night around 9 pm when everything disconnected. On my way to Toyland this morning, I'll buy a new power strip and replace this older one I've got. Perhaps that will help.

Last night I watched two Bob Hope movies, Monsieur Beaucaire and The Road to Singapore, and I preferred the first; the Panama and Frank screenplay is really funny, smart and sassy; there are too few literate inteligent and hysterically funny films written today. The Road to Singapore is the earliest of the Road pictures and I found much of it a chore. Still I liked the songs and I had frgotten how drop-dead gorgeous Dorothy Lamour was.

After that, another night of strange dreams. When I woke, I would swear I was in a production of "Sail Away" with Elaine Stritch. Before that it was something about baking Christmas cookies, the recipe, not enough cinnamon, etc. It was nightmare.

So, today I am off to Toyland to work with my colleague Curtis, who is currently busy dring the week with several personal projects. When I return I would like to finish up my 2010 taxes for Thursday's meeting with my accountant.

BK,

I managed to avoid FANBOYS, but I do recall liking THE SCORE when it was first released. 

No classic, but it was entertaining.

I've got the DVD, so maybe I'll take another look.  Perhaps my opinion will change.

Very, very disturbed to find an anti-Semitic site has linked to my Farmer article, after some rabid anti-Semite (evidently a famous one, from what I've been able to research) posted a long diatribe which repeated the Scientology disinformation.  It's interesting in a sort of sickening way to see these sickos parrot the Scientologists about "mind control," though they do so through the filter of anti-Semitism.

There was a brief shining moment when I was the blamee, but that was then, this is now.

We are having a rather large dinner party this evening for Betsy's workmates.  So many people that we have to bring out an additional table.  Hilarity will ensue.

Nice to see the wonderful Beethoven 4-6 BD I reviewed yesterday (which includes absolutely wonderful docmentaries on each symphony as well) saw its Amazon sales ranking rise from around 30K to 3K.  That's at least 3 or 4 people buying it.  ;)

I have finished my 2010 Federal Taxes. I just have to e-file them. I then need to do my New York State taxes which should not take much time and then I will mail them to Albany.

I was very restless last night and could not find a movie to watch. I started watching an old 1940s Monogram musical called HOT RYTHYM, but couldn't get into it...then tried an episode of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATRE (Super Agent Super Dragon), but it just didn't hold me..tried the new Bollywood comedy NO PROBLEM, but it was a dud (watched all the musical numbers then shut if off)...


Finally settled with an old standby, the Barbara Stanwyck film NO MAN OF HEW OWN (1950). That movie always keeps me glued to the TV set and has since I first saw it when I was about 8 years old.

BK, as I think I may have mentioned in the past, Linda Purl will be appearing in Salem in a few months. Is any of what you are assisting her with going to be used when she is up my way? If so then I want to be sure to attend.

Please to find out for me.

Thanks for the mention in the notes, BK!

It's so much fun actually seeing (or hearing, since a lot's over the phone) BK's brilliant wheels turning as he really totally gets his "character" (in this case, a real person) and also balances the real person and his image with the needs of the audience.   I hope the bouncing has triggered BK's thought process in a good way, and not getting in the way.  This has been so much fun!

Been looking at more of Mr. Harrison's recent performances.  Boy, if Skip and I ever got a West Coast major LAST STARFIGHTER production set up, wouldn't he be a great Centauri (the Robert Preston role, not the role BK played in our NYMF readings).

Sounds like DR FJL and MR BK are writing some very clever things.....Linda Purl & Greg Harrison should be pleased.

Sounds like DR JMK was super busy yesterday.

Dinner Party Vibes for DR JMK and BETSY.

How did Betsy's show go last weekend?

It still makes me laugh when I think of her line:  "No Jewish family ever saw a UFO on the way home from Temple."
