Good night, everyone.

Good evening. I think I'm ready for the "drive-in" mass tomorrow. Hopefully all my connections are right. Game Night on Zoom this evening. Enjoy the evening!

Glad you liked Deception, Singdaw. What a great cast.

I just finished Beau Travail, a 1990s take on Billy Budd, but set in the French Foreign Legion. It's a visually stunning movie with some great performances. There are certain scenes of the soldiers training in which the director used selections from Britten's Billy Budd for the background. The final scene is a dance in a 1990s club and it conveys such a sense of liberation, whether the character wants to be free or not and whether the scene is real or a dream.

Yesterday, I brought my work laptop home with me because I need to do some work today. It's the end of the month cut-off for the paying of our invoices and normally, we get them electronically, but for a couple of weeks, they never came into our computer system, so I have to manually enter all that information. So, I'll be working today. Fortunately, I can watch TV while working, so that'll be good.

Well, I've gotten some work done, but I still need to do some more.

I got all the invoicing done for the month, but now I'll finish out my time by importing some fully cataloged bibliographic records from OCLC into our computer system. I'm sure that Ginny know what that is.

I've been following Debbie Wileman on FB. She is a great singer in her own right, but also does impressions.

Here's Judy Garland singing "As If We Never Said Goodbye":

Wow! She's good!

Walter Bernstein, who wrote The Front based on his own experiences, has died at 101.

Great story from his obituary:

As a roving correspondent, he covered the brutal campaigns in Sicily and Italy. He also tramped a week over mountains in German-occupied Yugoslavia to obtain one of the first interviews by a U.S. newsman with the anti-fascist partisan revolutionary Josip Broz Tito.

The expedition to reach Tito, the future Communist strongman, was arduous but not without its cheerier moments. Mr. Bernstein recalled the partisans teaching him their patriotic marches, and they wanted him to reciprocate with rousing American songs. Stumped, he said the best he could do was “Buckle Down Winsocki,” from the Broadway musical “Best Foot Forward,” set in a military academy.

Wow! 101 years old!

Criterion has about six hours of extras on Beau Travail. I've just decided I have had enough.

I was disappointed to learn I didn’t win the 1 billion dollar lottery

vixmom · « **Reply #139 on:** January 23, 2021, 08:33:55 PM »

I had extensive plans for that money

vixmom · « **Reply #140 on:** January 23, 2021, 08:34:13 PM »

Perhaps if I had bought a lottery ticket...

Finalizing the last few mixes and getting them to the editor. That's been most of this evening. Now listening to Benjamin Britten's haunting War Requiem.

Bruce did you read the Rolex story or just the headline? While I didn't care for the headline, and felt the story was lacking a bit, I did find Biden's watch collection interesting.

I can't read the NY Times. From everyone's posting about it and the reaction to it, it seemed like another Times hit piece of criticizing Democrats.

My apologies. My back was really bothering me tonight, so I took my pills and I just woke up.
