Doris Day is also on in CAPRICE, letterboxed on Fox Movie Channel.

I have it, just for completist sake. It's a pretty terrible movie. I'm not sure which is worse, CAPRICE or THE BALLAD OF JOSIE.

Finally got around to DEADWOOD when I got home from rehearsals. Bullock's wife and lover are in for some serious encounters in the episodes (and seasons) ahead. Wow!

I guarantee my digital cable problems are due to some inexperienced moron uptown who forgot the throw some simple switch when I swapped out my HD digital cable box this morning for a new one with an HDMI connection.

I've been watching the Fox westerns all day, resting my voice, which isn't all that much better yet, from what I can tell.  That weird stinging sensation still seems to be on the left side of my throat, from that awful spray.  But, hopefully, tomorrow will be a beautiful day and I shall be able to at least not sound so horse.  That said, I did run through one song, one of the ones in a low key with no note higher than a c, and I sounded okay.  Plus, I'll have the next shot on Thursday and, if it's absolutely necessary, I can have one the morning of the session.  The shot is some sort of steroid and it has amazing powers of removing any swelling from the vocal chords.  It's what they frequently give ailing B'way singers.

BK, here's a home remedy my sister sent me, though I don't think I would want to do it:

Sore Throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

Thankfully, I don't have a sore throat.  The weird stinging thinging is because of that horrid spray he used, which I think both numbs and enlarges the larynx.
The enlarging (the golf ball effect) and the numbing are pretty much gone, but a bit of that stinging still feels like it's there - not as bad as earlier, so maybe it just takes an evening to completely go away.

I'd forgotten that I'd preordered a few DVDs this week, so I should have quite a lovely bounty arriving, both tomorrow and Wednesday.  Pogue shall be getting his Errol Flynn box on the 'morrow, and I shall be getting Rod Serling's Patterns, Boccaccio 70, Divorce, Italian Style, Johnny Guitar (region 2), and a few others I can't remember.

I'd prefer the sore throat to the vinegar DtM. Too much of the latter lately.

The five books I would pass along would all be novels with interesting plotz.

BK, have you by chance ever picked up the DVD for the Japanese film SCANDEL, starring Toshiro Mifune and Yoshiko (Shirley) Yamaguchi?

It sounds very interesting, but I had never heard of the film before:

A young painter and a popular singer meet very politely by chance at a resort hotel, and scandal-mongering journalists blow it up into a secret romance. The two decide to fight the press in court, and an impoverished old lawyer takes it upon himself to help

I was home, watching Episode 2 of the Portland, Oregon "Antiques Roadshow."  Sadly, I was not seen anywhere in the background.  Maybe on next week's episode.  Now, "Medium" is about to start.  I really like this show. :)

At the library where I work, we just got a new book called "Cowboy Jose."  Of course, every time I walked by it, I thought of our very own Jose!  (He's the only Jose that I know.)  Here's the picture:



(If it's too big, let me know and I'll actually download it and make it smaller.)
