Well, you've read the notes, the notes had brevity and a dollop of soul, and now it is time for you to post until the brief cows come home.

And the word of the day is: TRICLINIUM!

And now - Dino at the piano.

I'm sure I've seen some weird movies, but I just can't think of any right now.

Today, the family is getting together at my sister's, hence the shopping for her last night. But now, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

Have a good time.

Good morning, all!

The a;arm rang at 6:00, and I wasn't in the mood to get out of bed. The cats were unhappy, but I reset the alarm for 7:30 and had to endure Stella's persistence in getting me up for 30 minutes. So, at 6:30 I started moving. I had dreams I no longer remember, and I am 30 minutes off my regular daily morning schedule.

Today I continue proofreading band parts, and I have the edit of my New York City Gay Men's Chorus oral history interview to watch and approve.

DR JohnG, those senior citizen dog photos are adorable. November is Adopt A Senior Pet month.

Cool! I did not know that one.

I haven't seen any strange movies, but I sure had some strange dreams last night.

I wonder if brevity's soul is the thing with feathers?

singdaw · « **Reply #14 on:** November 14, 2020, 05:51:19 AM »

Off to make some pancakes. It's Saturday morning, isn't it?

I think Do I Hear a Waltz? merits a re-listen. Interesting to hear bk's take on it after all these years.

Kitty cleanup is finished and I spent 20 minutes watching my Oral History interview. I hate watching myself, and it's even worse listening to myself. I wish I'd had the haircut before the taping and that I didn't stammer so much.

As The Fat Orange Slug says, it is what it is.

Now I will make the bed and think about breakfast.

I spent a leisurely extra hour in bed this morning. Yay, me!

I enjoyed the notes! As usual, I must say. It is sort of like taking a college course in music and learning about stuff you never knew existed.

Of course, that's just me - I am sure many Dear Readers are familiar with ALL of the music MR BK writes about.

I have that DEMENTIA on order, Lord only knows when it's getting here.

I did read something on some forum about a scene or two in which a couple of shots were thought to differ from what's on the Kino DVD. Don't know if the person was accurate, or if it made any difference. But I have the DVD, which I think I haven't even watched, so it'll be fun to check all of that out.

I guess my answer to the TOD would be Guru, The Mad Monk.

Filmed in New York, set in the 15th century, the traffic noises and motorcycles parked at the curb just add to the ambience.

As for single weirdest film...

It sure seems like I ought to have a few titles at my fingertips, but in fact I'll have to think about this.

A Blower on the Roof - I think DR LAURA's recent experience would make a great musical.....

Condition.....condition!

I suspect most of us had a TRICLINIUM before learning how to ride a two-wheeler.

I was amazed at the size of DR Laura's Thing on the Roof. It looks like something that would cool a 9-story office building.

Is a weird film outré?

Indeed. It even has its own platform.
