Well, they are ALL true. It's a wonderful film. I'm sure you'll love it!

I didn't notice the wink until I started writing this message!

I've had the laserdisc forever, but, of course, what I meant was I've been reading wonderful things about the Ultra-Resolution transfer the Warners has given the film.

Ray Court's talked Laurie Mitchell out of appearing at the April show in Burbank

Instead he wants her to wait until the October show.....but I may still attend the April show if there will be some good celebs in attendance...Diane McBain is listed, so that is good...and Laurie said she would pop down to Burbank and have lunch/martini's and walk around the show with me (she wants to see who will be there, also).

In my CD player at work: the London cast recording of Me and My Girl with Robert Lindsay and Emma Thompson. I've had the vinyl album since it was first released, but just yesterday, I got this CD from eBay. I haven't listened to it in quite a few years and I always forget that Emma Thompson is in it. After that...to be determined.

In my VCR at home: nothing. "Star Trek: Enterprise" is a repeat and, even though I'm going to my parents' house for dinner, I'll be back in time for "Battlestar Galactica" at 10:30. It's on later tonight!! I'm glad I checked tvguide.com!

MR BK did you not watch any Laurel & Hardy?

I knew what you meant, but I was feeling perverse and decided to engage in a bit of jejune fun!

I said JEJUNE!

Gesundheit to myself!

BK, where is the Mission Hills paperback show located (yeah, I know Mission Hills!). I know it's somewhere around Sepulveda...near Hogly-Wogly's, but I don't remember the specific address.

Rodzinski, what is it exactly you do and for whom, if I'm not prying?

Media Check: I'm currently listening to the very witty News Quiz with Simon Hoggett on BBC 4...of course, one has to know somewhat what's going on in Britain and something about their politicians and celebs. But even if you don't, it's still pretty funny.

CD player: I'm still on my Mike Oldfield kick. Currently listening to Tubular Bells 2.

We'll be driving up to Dover later today, so there's bound to be something on the car CD player on the way back.

Der Brucer confirmed yesterday that we will NOT be joining everyone for JTOB weekend. We simply cannot leave the dogs for that long a day. When we had just the five, the trip would have been feasable (although we would have had to kennel Fletcher), but the addition of Peggy and the Pups countered that.

Sorry. We were looking forward to meeting (and re-meeting) everyone.

Peggy and the Pups sounds like a close-harmony vocal group.

Brent Barrett would look even sexier if he had a puppy. Someone tell him I said that, if he's around.

DR RON - I think we should apply to be on the next edition of THE AMAZING RACE.

I agree about Jay on Project Runway. But I was very disappointed with Kara Saun's collection - completely ripped off from THE AVIATOR.....it didn't seem to be an homage, but even the Aviator leather helmet and goggles! It was surprising to me that she was not more original.

Wendy's designs were negligible. In fact I think a couple of the people who had been eliminated might have had stronger collections.

The paperback show is at the Mission Hills Inn - 10621 Sepulveda Blvd.

It's way the hell up on Sepulveda, past Devonshire, I believe.

Sadly Mr. Brent Barrett won't be able to sing at The Drama Bookshop event, but we will have a suitably sexy replacement for him. Our very own Theresa Finamore (from Jeepers Creepers album and The Stephen Sondheim Album) will be there for sure, and I hope to have a couple of other nifty surprises.

I love Nifty Notebook surprises.

It looks like the divoon Donna Lynne Champlin will be joining us at The Drama Bookshop and will be singing the song I Hate You by Stanley Sherman. Still looking for our sexy man (I'm awaiting a reply from my next candidate). And I still need a younger guy, too, to do Who Do I Have to Blank to Get Out of This Show.

Boy, oh, boy...getting three extra dogs just to get out of cooking for me... the lengths some people will go to....

I am very sorry not to be meeting you two fine gentlemen but I hope there will be another occassion soon...perhaps to see Anthony's performance in the show he is sure to get!!!!

I have not beeni ntentionally E & T but this has been my week from the hell... hell frozen over if you count my 6 hour drive home from work Tuesday night....

I will try to catch up this weekend

Let me just leave you with these assurances

I am the only person on Long Island who knows how to drive, (of course excepting dear dear DR WFO)

and EVERYONE employed in my daughter's middle school is an idiot

I wish I had heard this line earlier, but I am planning to appropriate it and use it at all times, so thanks bk, for teaching it to me

" I cannot stand these morons any longer. If you don’t come with me this instant I shall run amok"

It would have come in very handy on several occassions this week.

Love to all of you!!

Back from rehearsal, and taking care of an errand in the MSG neighborhood. I finally figured out the whole Express train deal, so I had a very nice quick - albeit crowded - trip back uptown.

Gonna chill for a few, then get ready for my date.

I put my other Friday media list items on hold to watch (and record) the old Helen Hayes/Bette Davis Miss Marple TV-movie MURDER WITH MIRRORS. Poor Bette was just coming back from her stroke and is barely mobile. Helen Hayes in her memoirs expressed how difficult making this movie was as Bette was irascible with everyone (flinty personality plus obvious irritation with herself for not being able to do what she once could) and made John Mills and her miserable just getting through the rigors of filming. Still a fun mystery even if the Joan Hickson version is, of course, definitive.
