Well, you've read the notes, the notes told the Playboy story and the finding of Kristeen, and now it is time for you to post until the found cows come home.

And the word of the day is: HEADWAY!

That's a great story (with a happy ending, even) about finding and reconnecting with Kristeen! Can't wait to read the book!

So far, so good this morning. Yesterday morning was hell, then the day improved, and the afternoon went to hell when Amazon delivered three orders of mine to some building, just not mine. The worst part was dealing with customer service, who gave me a refund for two of the orders, I even old the lady with whom I was communicating that she had omitted the third order for refund. She apologized, we ended the communication, and two hours later I got a credit for two orders. WTF?

TOD

Sorta.

Yesterday evening I took out something I'd been wanting to check on for a while (for two reasons): the laserdisc release of The Day of the Triffids (1963). First, I'd only seen it once in the 60s, and again when I first got this copy some 20 years ago. Second, just to see what shape it's in, since it has never had another release - except for home-brewed DVD copies people have made.

I really need to clean my player inside and out, but fortunately the thing played decently all the way through. The movie itself is not great, and the transfer is nothing like what we expect nowadays, but it's pretty good in that comfort-food old-sci-fi-film way. I love the John Wyndham book, though, just like The Midwich Cuckoos (Village of the Damned), and the later British TV mini-series is much more faithful to it. I shall have to take that out and watch it next.

Later I turned on TCM for something to watch in bed and get drowsy to, and they were playing the incredible Laurel and Hardy feature, The Music Box. You know, the one about delivering the piano up the stairs. Genius. Pure perfection. If these guys had never made another film, this one would nevertheless have made them immortal.

I have a feeling the only lottery I would ever win would have been for the draft

Who decides these things?

MichaelG, Hitchcock’s only musical was called Waltzes from Vienna. It stars Edmund Qwenn as a dour Johann Strauss Sr., who hates his son’s music. Jessie Matthews is a warbling songbird. It may have been his last contract job before coming to America.

I think it’s on YouTube.
