DR Ginny, I had meant to ask you if you and Richard were going to see Jeff Harnar and Shauna Hicks with the Middletown Symphony. I think I scored about half of that original concert.

http://middletownsymphony.com/

DR Elmore, when they first announced that program I thought for sure we'd go.  But we were waiting to see if we'd be invited to an out-of-state wedding in our extended family (we were not, apparently) and then my cousin asked if he could stay here tonight.  Guess it was just as well I hadn't bought tickets ahead of time...

Well, I just took a 30-minute walk around the basement and made the bed in the guest room - does that count?

TOD:

Recently read The Islanders by Christopher Priest. I usually enjoy his novels which cleverly confound reader's expectations but this was hugely disappointing with almost no plot, which ultimately seemed pointless.

The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber. Reading this following the recent BBC TV dramatisation.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I'm about to head over to Foxy's to have brunch with a friend from college whom I haven't seen in about 15 years.

Yes, I know it's sacrilege department:  I've been listening to the three volume Bernard Herrmann at Fox set co-produced by our very own Nick Redman, and I must say as much as I love, love, love Herrmann, he is one of the most consistently unmelodic film composers out there.  So I'm wondering (maybe BK or RLP knows), was there ever a pop hit culled from a Herrmann score?  I couldn't think of one off the top of my head, but I am probably just not remembering.

A pop hit?  I think not.  Nat King Cole recorded the theme from Marnie, with very bad lyrics.  And one of the themes from Vertigo had lyrics but to it, but I don't know that it ever had a recording.   Russ Conway, pianist, recorded the love them from North By Northwest in the single hardest to find 45rpm record I've ever searched for.  It was impossible to find when it came out (and believe me I tried, from every record store in LA), and obviously more impossible after that.  I finally found it in the mid-1970s going through a stack of film-related 45s at some used record store.

Back from part two of banking, picking up a couple of packages but not the one I was expecting, and am now home until I am on my way to rehearsal.

Ginny, who am I suppose to be happy that they won or are winning their football game?  Michigan or Michigan State? I get so confused.

What a coinkydink!  Last night (just a couple of hours ago), my friend Margo and I went to Red Robin and like BK, I had fish and chips for dinner.  And another coinkydink, we had a funky and funny (and flamboyant...if you know what I'm sayin' ;)) waiter named Brandon.  It turns out that Margo and Brandon sort of knew each other.  He used to work at a local Hollywood Video (before it closed) that Margo went to and they recognized each other. 

What are you sayin'?

TOD:

The Franklin Cover Up - a book about the Franklin Savings & Loan scandal in Nebraska and the child molestation and Satanic worship cults that were all connected to it - it seems.

Dueling Harlows - the story of the two film biographies of Jean Harlow that were filmed and release within 30 days of each other way back in 1965.

I never saw the Carol Lynley version of HARLOW.  I don't think it ever played in Tacoma.

Whew!  Yeah!

I saw Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009) for the first time and really enjoyed it. I liked the fact that for an animated (motion-capture) film it was so dramatic (no Disney cuteness here) and true to the story.

TOD:

Currently, I'm not reading anything, but I just ordered copies of:

THE ELEPHANT TO HOLLYWOOD by Michael Caine

and

PIECES OF MY HEART: A LIFE by Robert Wagner

 :o

BTW: I think this whole new flap about Natalie Wood's death is a bunch of bulls**t!

This captain wants to sell books and the press is going crazy over the story because it makes good copy.

Everybody knows there was a fight that night.  Natalie was drunk.  She was upset.  She slipped and fell off the boat.

End of story.  Let her rest in peace.  These vultures should stop feeding off of her grave.

 >:(




The captain's book was released two years ago.  Why would he wait until now, to try and promote it?

When I saw Carmen DeLeone's picture there; and I thought that Liberace had risen from the grave.
