The mall was okay today but not as good as I remember. Got there at 11:30am but only the shoe stores were open. And the place was packed. Almost nothing good opened before 1pm. Got a new pair of slippers for $2.99 (they are super comfy). And some Dora and Hello Kitty Xmas wrap for $1.25. I think the men did better. My brother in law got a new Blu-Ray player and my dad got some electronic stuff.

There were huge line-ups in front of a few stores and i don't really know why (since there are not usually a lot of people in these stores): Lululemon and Joshua Perets (the Pink store). The latter opened at 11:30am and still by 1:30pm had huge lines.

I really wanted to got to Old Navy. BUt by 1:30pm the line-up for the cash was so long there was no way i was going to even attempt to buy anything.

I finished my first ebook yesterday (on my kindle). And when i was done it asked me if i wanted to tweet that i'd finished (they wrote the tweet for me). So i tweeted from my kindle.

I must say i can't believe that i went so long without an ereader. I love it!

Okay, I have now corrected the other quote.

I am not feeling well today, and I don't really know why.

I think I may go to bed.

OK I'm sick of this weather. It was 53 degrees today. No rain, no snow, just dry and 53. This is not right

That's as warm as it was here in Texas.

If anyone is interested in a fun, unusual film, I recommend DETECTIVE DEE AND THE MYSTERY OF THE PHANTOM FLAME, which a pull quote pretty accurately describes as Crouching Tiger meets Sherlock Holmes.

One of the CDs I got for Christmas was the TER recording of "Cabaret" with Fred Ebb performing. And there in credits was one Larry Moore, who provided select orchestrations. Always nice to see those two words in print.

Who?

Was watching something and promptly conked out for about thirty minutes. It was light when I conked out and dark when I woke up. Go know.

Last night I was almost too tired to sleep (does that make sense?), but tonight I can feel great relaxation coming on. Think I'm going to get ready for bed and try to stay awake to watch CASTLE with Richard at 10 - 'night!

I forgot to mention that I was told who the loathsome neighbors across from me are - the ones who moved their party to my night after doing it the day before for years and then moved their time earlier so their guests in their humungous SUVs could take all the parking places - the ones who left a red Fiat parked in the same exact place for twelve weeks until I finally called the traffic department and the car got ticketed and scheduled to be towed - they finally moved it then and it hasn't been back, but there five guests who have apparently moved in for two weeks are still taking up most of the parking places. Well, it's the daughter of Annette Funicello - now everything makes sense, because I don't think anyone in that house works. They were given the house by their mother (who used to live there I gather, as a child), and I'm sure have been given everything else. They certainly act entitled and are thoroughly obnoxious (as is their dog) and unfriendly.

Watching a rather lousy movie called "Dark Streets" with some good production numbers and some dreadful acting, writing and direction.

Then it's to bed. Night, all.

I wonder if the Dee of the title is the same character as Judge Dee from an old ABC Movie of the Week who was played by Keye Luke. I think it was a series pilot and was based on a mystery novel series character.

Well, I had a rather nice surprise - about an hour ago I got a call from the Apple Store saying my computer was ready. So, I went down there, we spent a few minutes looking at everything, and I am now posting from a brand spanking new computer - it's amazing. I have the new trackpad thing and as soon as I get used to it it's going to be so much more fun than a mouse.

Just watched something most interesting - the guy with the screening room gave me a DVD that had my episode of Lucas Tanner on it. I don't think I've seen it since either the day we shot it or the day it aired - the show lasted only a season (if that) and has never to my knowledge been in reruns. This was taken from a 16mm print. Other than knowing I did the episode and the one anecdote I shared in my book about wanting to wear glasses and director Gordon Hessler's response, I remembered absolutely nothing about it. The first surprise was seeing us on location on a trail near a lake somewhere - have no idea where and have no memory of it at all, which is unusual since I never got to go on location anywhere. I also can't remember where we actually shot the school scenes - maybe Marshall High maybe somewhere in the Valley. Alan Abelew (George in Nudie Musical) was a regular, and the guest star was beautiful Lee Purcell. My pal Trish Soodik was also a semi-regular - she died a couple of years ago. And I knew I'd worked with Kimberly Clark before and now I know where, since she was in it, too. I had more to do than I remembered and the glasses were a good touch, I think. The show was reasonably well written but could not be done today as it was then - about a teacher whose student is in love with him. The best thing about the show, though, was David Shire's music - I'll have to tell him that he actually wrote music to something I acted in - he'll get a kick out of it. David Hartman was Lucas Tanner and he's very good if a little weird at times. I think he found his calling soon after this show with Good Morning America or whatever show he was on.

That's pretty cool, BK!

Good Evening!

...Just got back from JR's - it's one of those "special interest" establishments. Since it was a Monday night, it was a Musical Theatre Monday. It was quite interesting. They played some of the standard show clips from The Tonys, "The View", etc., but they also showed clips from "Xanadu" (the movie), "Can't Stop the Music" (the Village People movie) as well as a sing-along version of "Once Upon a December" (from "Anastasia").

Oh, and "The Pirate Movie"!?!?!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #146 on:** December 26, 2011, 09:12:29 PM »

It was also a bit weird being at a Musicals Monday and not having most of patrons in the bar sing-along.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #147 on:** December 26, 2011, 09:19:36 PM »

Before heading to JR's, my friend, Eric, and I had dinner at Sichuan Village out Chantilly, VA. It was quite good. The chefs there were all apparently trained in China, and the food that we had was obviously authentically prepared. Our waitress checked with us a few times to make sure we were ordering the spicier dishes on purpose, and once we assured that we were, well... The "ma la" was perfect. Hot enough to make your nose run and your forehead perspire, but not enough to burn out your taste buds.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #148 on:** December 26, 2011, 09:25:27 PM »

And before that, I took Eric on a tour of some of the larger Korean supermarkets in the area, as well as a walk-thru of Eden Center in Falls Church. Eden Center is basically a collection of mini-malls in one big strip mall. And they're all Vietnamese establishments: restaurants, grocery stores, housewares, barber shops, furniture stores, etc.
