Well, you've read the notes, the notes were itsy bitsy, and now it is time for you to post until the itsy bitsy cows come home.

And the word of the day is: RETRONYM!

I have not read the notes, because they have not appeared...yet.

But speaking of the name of today's posts, there was a commercial several years ago that used the song but they changed the lyrics, and they made them not be grammatically correct. The lyrics are, of course, "It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini, that she wore for the first time today."

But what they sang was: "She wore an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini, that she wore for the first time today."

I am now recording "Night Will Fall" from my DVR to my DVD burner.

The synopsis for "Night Will Fall" on the IMDb listing is "Researchers discover film footage from World War II that turns out to be a lost documentary shot by Alfred Hitchcock and Sidney Bernstein in 1945 about German concentration camps."

Within the first 15 minutes, they're showing some of the film that was shot, and it includes shots of many dead bodies...up close and without sugar-coating any of it. It's shows what I have never seen in most documentaries or movies. You really can't deny any of it after seeing this.

Tom, just be prepared.

This has some very interesting information about the documentary, Hitchcock's involvement and how it got made:

Presumably, all will be back to normal in New York City today.

Though it's almost never REALLY normal in NYC.

ASK BK

What was your favorite movie studio to work at and did you have the opportunity to walk the back lots to see the standing sets?

singdaw · « **Reply #14 on:** January 28, 2015, 04:12:48 AM »

Thank you all for the performance vibes yesterday. The concert went really, really well. I think people were very moved. The concert celebrated liberation, so while there were dark elements, it started and ended in hope, after traveling through the central portion of the program.

It's a crisp sunny morning here in Florida, 53 degrees.

They are closing the schools. They are telling people to stay home and not drive their cars. People are running to the supermarket to stock up on food. Flights are being cancelled.

It's mass panic!!!!

Last night, we watched DOUBLE INDEMNITY. I hadn't seen it in years.

It's not my favorite film noir. That honor goes to OUT OF THE PAST, but it is still certainly one of the great ones.

Also on the set was the 1973 television remake, which I'd never seen. It starred Richard Crenna, Samantha Eggar and Lee J. Cobb, who was terrific in the Edward G. Robinson role. But, after 30+ minutes, I turned it off. The movie itself was

BK,

Same question as last week: What's the title of the new book?

I'm not sure if I posted this here or not. I did post it on FB.

Fred Frees (Paul's extremely talented son) is doing the audio version of MURDER IN BABYLON, my novel about the William Desmond Taylor murder.

Yesterday, I listened to his first pass of the first chapter and I'm very pleased with what he is doing.

Hopefully someone with a snow-blower will come by and help the Vixter. Do any houses have snow removal service? Here most houses have that (where a small snow plow clears the drive way).

Jane I have now been reliably informed that the official snowfall total I our town was 20 inches with drifts of up to four feet

DR George, can I ask you for one, too?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 28, 2015, 07:21:42 AM »

That is the same paper I am waiting for DR TCB.....perhaps today.

Continued fine rehearsal vibes for MR BK.

Glad to hear that DR SINGDAW's concert went well and was well received.

Good morning, all!

The depression has landed, and I stayed in bed as long as I could. I finally dragged myself out of bed because i have obligations and I clearly inherited my dad's work ethic. Dr Slingshot, I don't know how you coped several years ago when you wee unemployed for so long. You were fortunate at least to have one person in the household still working.

So, I will continue on the Encores! job and hope that either the phone rings with wrk offers or the news that that damned Ohio property has sold.

Good morning, all.

Elmore, I went without work for close to two years and dealt with it largely by staying busy. I read a lot of 19th century novels, too. Got a book in you to write? And rely on your support system.
