Yesterday was strange here. When I left for work, it was below 32 with frost covering the ground. When I got home after dinner at 10:30 p.m., it was 64 degrees and balmy. It's 58 right now and is supposed to get up to 72 degrees.

TURNTABLE - if I have the evening I'm hoping to have, I'll be cleaning up and spinning a few shows and soundtracks that haven't been out of their jackets in a couple of decades.

DVD - Still enjoying a little Jacques Tati binge (with thanks to BK for inspiring this with a mention of Tati sometime recently).

BLU - Might head out to a Barnes & Noble to take advantage of their 40%-off sale (+ member 10% + coupons), so let's wait and see on that.

Now, if there were just a few trees that change color, and a little snow.   :)

But, I will take the palm trees and sunny weekend also.  :)

Good morning, all!

I have a free day since I am stuck here waiting for a FedEx package. So, I slept late, and I am now bathed and dressed and ready to deal with this holiday called Christmas.  I have a lot of packages to assemble and prepare for the post office today. I'd like to be able to hit the 68th Street Station first thing tomorrow morning and post them as quickly as possible.

Once FedEx shows up, I'll begin the laundry. I believe that's all I'm dealing with today. That's enough.

BK, thanks for the good report on HYDE PARK ON HUDSON, which I hadn't been too keen on seeing. Now I want to. I really liked the director's film of Jane Austen's PERSUASION, which is her most moving and perhaps biographical novel. Jeremy Sams is a multi-talented man: a very good translator of operetta, opera and plays, including THREEPENNY OPERA. I believe his career began as a pianist on the London productionof SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM and I think he was married to Maria Friedman. I knew that he assembled the Metropolitan Opera's baroque pastiche last year, THE ENCHANTED ISLAND, but I didn't know he was writing film scores. I am not surprised.

TOD:
DVD: too many are piling up
CS: a lot of Christmas music; I wish Guy Haines would do one.
VCR: shocking!

Friday morning greetings!  My book group friends weren't too hard on me over Catherine the Great.  They even agreed that they were glad to have read it and wouldn't have picked up on their own.  I think the general consensus was that Robert Massie is no David McCullough.  Emilie's husband made us a faboo apple struedel, which we had with cookies from Collette's bakery in Monroe and our choice of tea or wine (or both).

Good morning. We got some much-needed rain during the night. It looks like it is clearing up now.

This evening Richard and I are seeing the Human Race Theatre's OLIVER and I'm very excited!  On the way we have a couple of errands to do in the Dayton 'burbs and we're going to Red Lobster for dinner.  I'm puttering at home until then - some holiday stuff, some pre-England stuff.

I think I'm going to move back to Los Angeles every year, from Thanksgiving until the first of the year.

That way, I can borrow my friends' Academy screeners.

Another Los Angeles landmark, though not of the highest order, is changing in ways that are not necessarily for the better. The King Eddy Saloon, which attracted everyone from Bukowski to James M. Cain, is getting a makeover:

I love HHW for many reasons....one of which is that I get to hear discussion of NEW things that I might otherwise not even know about......in the notes and in the posts from MR BK and from all of the Dear Readers....here and abroad.

I have purchased many DVD's and CD's and books because they have been talked about here.....

And some of them have been worked on or feature Dear Readers OR MR BK!!!
