Annabelle once again has chose the darkest and furthest recesses of one of my two closes to hide out in and now her head is full of dust, her breathing sounds like huge farts and because her nose is blocked, she's not eating. This means another vet trip in the too near future.

I don't know if I knew about Hunchback II. I will see if the library has it.

Elmore, Hunchback is half the novel Les Miz is. (In length, that is.)

I think I started to read thr unabridged Les Miz in college after I got the London cast album, but didn't get too far into it.

I've had this new translation waiting for me for about five years, so I may start it tonight. I finished I Am Spartacus last night.

The library does have Hunchback II.

I've read some of Zola's Rougon-Macquart novels in these editions. I liked the introductions, which I can't always say.

If you do watch it, think 3 or 4 year old being kept quiet and out of parents' way for an hour. Maybe Skip will be better off if you don't comment online on the overall movie, since Skip still gets his royalties based on how the video does.

especially the animation level which I read then they deliberately don't want to look as good as the theatre movies or something like that. They succeeded!

But musically - I have to say it's really impressive work in what the music person who underscored the whole video did weaving in the opening by a pretty clever funny team and Skip's 3 songs. (no idea who was on the project first).

Skip was invited to attend the orchestral recording in London just for a photo-op I guess and the fun, which was nice of them, but flying economy for one day to London is excruciating. (And even his agent expected he'd just get to watch and listen, no time for input at that point. But they got the mix to Skip pretty quickly and he seemed very happy.

And Jane Withers looped in her own voice for the other writers' opening. so two different songs have a different "Laverne" singing.

Back from a meal at the Northridge Brent's Deli, which is the original location - it's been there since at least the late 1990s as we used to order takeout from there when we recorded at Rumbo Recorders, the studio the Captain and Tennille owned.

Have you tried rinsing her in distilled water to get the dust off of her? Doing that to my cats helped my allergies, maybe it will help her.

Enjoy. I have only read it once, a very long time ago.

I’m ready to read it again. I have a nice old edition I want to read, and I think it would be great to follow that up with the new translation.

John G. · « **Reply #109 on:** July 21, 2019, 06:32:28 PM »

I have the Modern Library edition, but it's been almost 20 years since I read it.

I'm back from a dinner that wasn't. None of us was hungry, so we didn't go out to eat.

But I have to have this article finished by the morning. The man I was supposed to interview called to say he was out of town and couldn't be interviewed. But he said I could use stuff from the article I wrote on the place years ago. Thankfully, I have that article.

Fred, you mean Hunchback II really isn't on par with Godard's latest cinemasterpiece or Kurosawa's finest? I promise not to tell. And this is the only board I post on, though I still read castrecl.

I hope Annabelle is feeling better.

In honor of national ice cream day I had a mini Häagen-Dazs coffee ice cream cone. It measured under 4 inches. It was a perfect size for me.

It was very warm today and the house needs to be cooled down, but I hate using the AC.

We watched FIRST MAN on HBO this evening.

It was okay, but about 30 minutes too long.

I had some peaches and cream ice cream earlier. Just what the doctor ordered in this heat.
