Good evening.

I'm sorry to hear about your fall, Elmore. I hope you feel better in the morning.

The first act of Incorruptible went well. It's intermission time.

Dancing was long tonight. I am exhausted.

I got a plate from Mom made to served deviled eggs on. Can’t find it anywhere. Anyone know what I did with it?

Good night, all.

Just remember, if you find it, it'll be in the last place where you look.

I'm home.

George · « **Reply #162 on:** April 13, 2024, 10:24:10 PM »

We had a good audience tonight.

George · « **Reply #163 on:** April 13, 2024, 10:24:59 PM »

Some laughs got stepped on, but that happens when you get laughs where you hadn't gotten them before.

What a strange day.

bk · « **Reply #165 on:** April 13, 2024, 10:39:58 PM »

Very rainy.

Not that I complain about the rain even when it's not in Spain on the plain or the plane.

I had the two-item plate from Panda Express - orange chicken and Kung Pao chicken - the latter was too spicy for me. Most Chinese places are not nearly that spicy on that dish and I've had it in the best of LA's Chinese jernts.

It was all okay.

bk · « **Reply #169 on:** April 13, 2024, 10:42:40 PM »

Later, I made a couple of eggs in tortillas.

bk · « **Reply #170 on:** April 13, 2024, 10:42:48 PM »

Those were okay.

The owners of that smash burger jernt where I'd had the bad burger, reached out to me and apologized and had figured out the problem - the chef used some new kind of cleaner to clean the grill just before my order - and apparently he didn't get it all off the grill. They offered to refund me but I told them DoorDash already had and they're now very cognizant of the problem and hoped I'll give them another try, which I will.

Then I watched a terrific French thriller from France - you know, the kind of paranoid thriller they used to know how to make here. Boîte Noire (Black Box) was the title and everything worked - one might have wished for a slightly different part of the ending (the ending works wonderfully but there's one aspect of it that's very 1970s), but the acting is great. It's about an expert in deciphering black boxes recovered after airplane crashes. I won't say more because it's more fun to just discover the film. It's on Prime. I'd listened to the Philippe Rombi score the other day and it wasn't my favorite, but boy does it work in the movie and now that I've seen it, it works as a listening experience because the musique has context for me now.

The I watched the new Francois Ozon film, Mon Crime (The Crime is Mine), advertised as a hilarious farce, based on a very old play that was the source material for not one but two 1930s American screwball movies. I fell asleep for about an hour so I really need to watch it from about forty minutes in to the end. Those first forty minutes are very stylish, gorgeous costumes, some amusing moments, but the farce stuff must have happened while I dozed off. Acting is fine, score by Mr. Rombi is delightful, the period settings are wonderful. Ozon cites Lubitsch, Capra, and Blake Edwards as his influences on this film.

Done with my viewing.

Listening to Boite Noire.

I like Panda's Kung Pao chicken...I usually get it just about every time I go.

Of course, it's much better when it's fresh than when it's been sitting around for a while.

And then I wrote...

I hadn't had the Kung Pao before - I was surprised at the spice level, frankly.
