Another hot day here. I think it was 116 yesterday.

Looks like there was a decision in the case of "The Shape of Water" and the Paul Zindel play from all those years ago. the judge found only minor similarities.

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-44951050

Some commenters (no one I heard of) are wondering if there might be a basis for the Zuindek estate filing their case overseas, like in Europe where they say authors rights are broader.

I guess no one can deny the facts of what's actually similar (like even the laundry basket she tries to take the creature away in), but only a judge can determine if that gives rise to a claim under the law.

I'm up, I'm up - maybe six hours of sleep, thanks to the endless ringing of the phone starting at nine this morning. The new phone I got has a blocking feature, which I use every time a bogus call comes in - but that doesn't stop the phone from ringing once while the block goes into effect.

FJL, because the title lines get too long and unwieldy - all the actors are tagged, however, as keywords.

Nice review in Audio File Magazine for my one-woman play, LOMBARD, portrayed by Kathleen Godwin:

Narrator Kathleen Godwin breathes life into this spirited, richly detailed play about actress Carole Lombard, that begins on the eve of her death in a plane crash. Lombard was known as a screwball comedienne-movie star who had the vocabulary of a sailor. As Lombard, Godwin speaks directly to listeners, adding intimacy. She also talks to herself; for example, when she rambles, she utters, "Shut up, Carole." Listeners will relish hearing Hollywood-insider details such as the revelation that Lombard's husband, Clark Gable, was a tightwad. Sound effects add authenticity. Most moving are the lovely transitions to the past, denoted by a few musical notes, when Lombard shares childhood memories. Despite its sad ending, Lombard's story is a pleasurable listening experience. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2018]

Boy, you got too get up pretty early to be on page 1 these days.

Don't worry...it's an anomaly.

Yesterday was shopping and banking day, but I didn't do either, so I did both this morning....that's done for awhile...

It's still a bit difficult because my Mom always met me and held the screen door open for me while I brought the bags in....miss her.....

Jane - Have you read "Armada" - which I think is the next book Ernest Cline wrote after "Ready Player One?" The synopsis says the main character is a really big fan of 80s movies like Tron and Last Starfighter.

If you read "Armada," can you tell - does its plot seems to use Last Starfighter elements?

I have a hold on the e-book of "Ready Player One" and have "Armada" on my Kindle. I do want to read both of them, but I have other books to read first.

I will be very interested in your reaction to "Ready Player One" having seen the movie first. I read it a long time ago and don't remember much.

Yeah, DR JRand, it kind of sneaks up on you in the most unexpected ways.

Very cool, DR Jane! That was the last show we saw earlier this month. I liked it more than Richard did...

Second coat on the chair rail and first coat on the frame around the kitchen entryway. I’m done (in) for the day.

Picked up some packages, had a nice telephonic conversation with dear reader Jeanne, and then rustled up some Wacky Noodles - I occasionally do it with sautéed chicken breast but today I did with a little ground beef and it's really good.

Relaxing - will finish the show order at some point.

I do know that movies are different animals than the books that they're based on, and I've read other books after seeing the movies, but I'd heard that this is a good book in general, so I'm looking forward to it.

I have no idea as we haven't even begun planning anything. I am guessing a few days. Keith won't want to stay in NY long unless one or both of our boys join us there.

Is NY extra pretty after Thanksgiving and decorated for Christmas? We were there in December years ago when we first moved to NJ but only during the day.

The Wacky Noodles with ground beef was a rousing success. I made about seven ounces of noodles and about six ounces of ground beef. I had a nice helping but realized if I ate all of it it would be pushing the calories boundary - so Grant came over. I had a small second helping and he had the rest - two large helpings. So that means I had about three ounces of pasta and the ground beef, so that was fine. It really was good.

Listening to the Stan Getz bossa nova/samba albums - these were the perfect example of being in the right place at the right time and they made Getz a household name. These albums all crossed over and did really well. They sound incredible to this day.

The link says something about a limited run to October 28.
