Wouldn't the joke be on the Mayans if the world has actually already ended? It might take millions of years to actually kill everything off.

She's in Iowa. It's 8 a.m. here where I am -- Phoenix.

My mistake! I was thinking Idaho.

Phoenix is in Idaho? No wonder my friend in Sun City is so unhappy!

CD - THIS CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS COCKTAILS Vol. 3, a HOLIDAY INN soundtrack that I think came with the DVD, which seems to have an alternate take or two, and I just got to CAREER (great score!!! -- I'm sorry to say I've never seen the movie).

DVD & BLU holiday stuff - WHITE CHRISTMAS, A CHRISTMAS STORY (and the documentary ROAD TRIP FOR RALPHIE), NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION, SANTA CLAUS (the 1959 Mexican film that everyone but me has seen), and the recently acquired BING CROSBY and BELL TELEHPONE HOUR specials.

BLU - BELOVED INFIDEL and HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN.

I have never heard of the 1959 Mexican movie, SANTA CLAUS.

I have to agree with BK about the over promoting of the film version of Les Miz. From what I have experienced in the past when a film gets too much promotion there is usually something wrong.

Also not mentioned in BK review is that a lot of the songs have been truncated for the film version. I never been a Les Miz fanatic as I think the score is not one of the greats for reasons I have mentioned here before

Also, the recording is only being released as a single CD. I got an announcement e-mail from dresscircle.co.uk and they had this notice in their e-mail:

We know of no plans for a full recording to be made available in the near future. This is the highlights CD.

And if you would like to hear (and see ) Victor Turpin (be carefull, he is shirtless in part of this music video), just click on this youtube video to see one of his songs.

Very nice! And he's a pretty good singer, too.

This is sad news:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/21/nyregion/spencer-cox-aids-activist-dies-at-44.html?_r=0

In summer 1988, Spencer was my intern at The Drama Book Shop. He was funny, sassy, energetic, and through him I met Anthony Rapp and playwright Jonathan Sherman, who had gone to school with him. On his last day of work, before he went back to Bennington, I took him to see the John Waters film "Hairspray." I lost touch with him although I knew he'd become an AIDS activist. What's sad is to have thought someone was dead only to learn that they were still alive and you might have spent time with them before their end.

Larry, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.

Well, not like going back, but hopeful that they'll hire someone who's not such a twerp.

I was wrong -- SO WRONG -- about Shake Shack not doing bacon. You can get it on anything. But not only that, the SmokeShack (which includes it) is to die for: "cheeseburger topped with Niman Ranch all-natural applewood smoked bacon, chopped cherry pepper and ShackSauce".

Scroll down for menu:
http://www.shakeshack.com/location/westport/

I ate one of the above (single), and one double cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onions. Impossible to say that one is better than the other. This is bliss. And if I hadn't had to get back on the road because of extremely heavy traffic and obligations this evening, I would have eaten a third something or other like the glutton I am.

While I was eating, a Pat La Frieda truck (meat purveyor to the ye gods) made a delivery. I wanted to hold up that truck.
