Good morning, all! This is the first day in some time I am declaring a ME Day: I'm going to clean the apartment, organzine, file and tend to important things pertaining to me. I also need to stop at the post office.
The alarm went off at 6, and I slept in until 7. I had a peculiar dream about rehearsing a show like, but wasn't, the Appalachian Christmas piece; I was staying in a fantastic hotel, the wise men were in three Volkswagons and that's all I remember of it.
I do want to see THE WOMAN IN BLACK; the 1989 BBC version is truly terrifying, and the original novel by Susan Hill is a successful attempt to write a Victorian ghost story. I have the impression that the new film doesn't follow the novel as closely as the BBC version does, but I haven't read the novel in close to twenty years, so what do I know? I watched the BBC version again about two years ago and it still packs a wallop. I owned it on VHS as soon as it was released for sale after the A&E broadcast. I now own a bootleg DVD because it's no longer available and it's a pity. It should be an annual Halloween broadcast. I see on IMDB that it's one minute longer than the Radcliffe movie, but I still want to see the new version, so I can saa how it compares.
More coffee and to work!
