Watching Hitchcock’s The Ring, a silent film about boxing and sideshow freaks. Just saw Siamese twins. There are several racially insensitive scenes so far. The opening has crowds paying to throw eggs at a black man in blackface. Then, at a wedding, we see a black man, as ring bearer, pick his nose before trying to find the ring.

I think I've gotten my new panoramic camera pretty well figured out.

Forgot to mention one detail from last week’s Les Ballets Trokadero performance: the men didn’t wear obvious dance belts in the first number. They looked like they had on tighty whities under their tights, just like Benjamin in Kritzer World.

Carl Brisson made two silent films for Hitchcock, The Ring and The Manxman. He was also in musical comedies. He later had a kid, Freddie Brisson, who married Rosalind Russell.

Overall, The Ring was good, thanks to Hitchcock getting some great visuals in the boxing ring and in a kaleidoscopic 20s party with flappers, jazz and too much liquor.

The ladies free skate is over.  Isabeau Levito and Amber Glenn were only .4 apart after the short program, and they kept building up to the final two skates which would decide which would win.

Amber did great until her final three jump passes...and she doubled a triple, singled a triple and doubled a triple again.  She was devastated.  She was in the lead when Isabeau took the ice, but she had left the door "wide open" as Johnny Weir said in a gasp!

Isabeau then skated one of the worst programs of her life, fell three times and finished third overall, with Amber Glenn winning the title because of Isabeau's mistakes.  A young skater with last name of Lee won the Silver. 

All in all, par for the national figure skating championships!!

My arms are so sore...especially my right arm, for whatever reason.  I hope a good night's sleep will alleviate the soreness.

Damn those shots!
