And now - Dino at the piano.

Dino is not so happy to play for just one person.

...Sutorius and Sussman.
Sutorius and Sussman sounds like a law firm, and a not necessarily reputable one at that!

It isn't his playing, it's that yapping that drives us away.  That and his purple color, which doesn't go well with the furniture.

Sorry, wrong Dino.   ;D

Matt, I'm surprised by your reaction to the Potter books, specifically your decision to see the films first and then do the reading.  These books have a goodly chunk of a generation of kids reading, which takes work and requires their using their imaginations, rather than inactively watching what happens.  Putting the films first just seems...well, wrong.

For me, the fun of the films is seeing how someone else imagined the work.

Today is National Corn Fritters Day.

It helps to have a good spatula around, to turn the fritters over while they're cooking.

Today is also National Shark Awareness Day.

I have no idea whether this is celebrated in Cincinnatti.

This is my conundrum. Are these spatulas?


Or are these spatulas?


Or maybe they are both different kinds of spatulas? I am very confused.

The one on the right is a spatula.  The one on the left is a slotted spoon.  It's good for catching the potato.

I'm fairly certain I have answered the trivia question.  Yes, it's quite convoluted, but there are enough clues in the questions to give you a good foothold.

I actually worked for a lawfirm called Sussman, Shank.  Horrible, horrible place concentrating on commercial collections.  The senior partner once called me a "trained monkey" after I had programmed all their frigging computers to do the grunt work on threatening people who were behind on credit card payments.  I left shortly thereafter, banana in hand (so to speak).  ;)

You could have, instead, sat on top of the box and told them that you don't like bananas!

A Kim Hunter reference, natch!

Turns out I was ALMOST correct on the trivia.  The part I missed is the section I expected was very likely I'd miss.  Quite a stretch but the closest I could come up with.  The proper answer still eludes me.  Ah well, hopefully JMK did better work than I.

Closing night tonight for I'LL BE BACK BEFORE MIDNIGHT.  We sold out last night, and I expect a sellout again tonight.  Remarkable for a non-musical with a cast of four!  At least for our theatre!

Trivia question has been perused and will be worked on tomorrow.  Hmmm.

DR TOMovOZ - what are the songs on that Restless Doll cd?  Interesting artwork to say the least.

Now - last night at the theatre - all of the cast arrived early....even the crew gets there before call time to talk and visit.

We were sitting on the stage and Keith brought me back SWOON which he had borrowed.  We started talking about that movie and COMPULSION and THRILL ME - the cd I just got....and NEVER THE SINNER a play about the L/L case.

Shelly the leading lady asked what we were talking about, and I said Leopold and Loeb.  She said oh...   And I said, you know about them, don't you?  And she said, yes of course.  There was a pause...and I said:  "Tell me what you know about them."

And Shelly replied:  "They wrote CAMELOT."

And we had our laughs for the rest of the night.  My favorite thought being of course the Leopold and Loeb version of GIGI.

Off to the theatre.

Sounds like the shipping is going along well - isn't there a MAC program that will print labels for you?  There should be...make it much easier and would create nice database for you MR BK.

Congrats on finding the third actor!  Yes Kevin Chamberlin is very popular on television.  He is very big in Albequerque.

Did lots of errands.  And the big news is I got early copies of The High and the Mighty, Islands in the Sky, In Old Chicago, and The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.

We've had several answers to the trivia contest.  There seems to be general confusion on a couple of questions, although I went back and they are worded clearly and carefully.

The ones to watch out for:

The cast member who would marry a legend, emphasis on the legend.

The cast member who would go on to appear in several classic musicals.

The young cast member who would go on to be a beloved star of musical comedies.  

The last two questions seem to be confounding people because everyone is guessing them correctly but attributing the wrong person to each question.  Note the use of the word YOUNG in the latter question, and note the use of the word STAR.  In the former question, note the use of the word APPEAR in.

I've been emptying my email files, which are a total mess.

S. Woody, as a former film critic, it was important for me to enter films with no preconceived notions which meant I often would not read best sellers if I knew they were going to be made into films. Sometimes, if it was a book I had already read, there was nothing I could do about it, but as much as was possible, I avoided books that I knew were going to be films.

Sorry if you think that's wrong. For me, it was and IS right. I'm just a creature of habit.
