Earlier in the week, I was bitching about TCM airing a pan and scan version of THE YELLOW ROLLS-ROYCE and said I would write TCM about it (which I did). Here's the reply I received this morning:

The film's distributor gave us the pan & scan version, which seems to be the only version we can find at this time. TCM is currently looking for a widescren version to air.

Trust me when I say we are not happy about it either.

Of course, in my e-mail, I mentioned that a widescreen laserdisc of the film was released 15 years ago and suggested that a widescreen version did indeed exist. I guess they didn't want to address that part. Anyway, I was pleased to receive an answer, as unsatisfying as it was.

Last night I went to visit with my high school chum Felice - who came with me and my sister to BK's final show of DECEIT, and who played the Goatseller in WORLD OF SHOLEM ALECHEM (sp?) with Bruce.

We had decided to get together once a week to write on a new project of mine... I hope the "group" will grow... think "Chorus Line"...

She has a great, wonderful, marvelous, HUGE dawg named Zorro - when he stands on his hind legs and puts his paws on my shoulders, he towers over me. That's a big puppy boy!

I had a swell evening - Felice has a day job, so I brought dinner -- a huge salad of romaine and mixed baby greens and sauteed mushrooms and artichoke hearts and black olives and tiny pearl tomatoes and the remains of a roast beef from a couple of days ago, and some cheese grated in, and scallions and basil. Then we looked through her Chinese apothecary's chest at all her treasures, some of which i remember from 11th grade.

And finally, we set to work. Nothing really earthshaking, but a few good phrases from both of us... doesn't matter. I'm willing to sit down with a pen and write absolute crap, day after day, on the off chance that something magical may come while I'm sitting there, moving my hand. Suit up and show up. All you can do is all you can do.

Tonight is The Family's belated seder at Tami's house. My brother and his brood will not be there - well, maybe his youngest boy and girl. Rikki's daughter will not be there. Otherwise, it's the whole tribe, gathering for the first Passover without my parents - who feared all this family stuff would cease with their demise. L'chaim!

Passover is such an interesting "holiday"... the Jews fled Egypt - which they called "The Narrow Place." I find that so interesting. And the story we tell over and over, each year as Spring springs anew - is of escaping our Narrow Place, bursting from the seed, starting over. We do get another chance at it. We do get to start over. We do know now what we didn't know then...

Write them back...let them know that I have that laserdisc and will rent it to them for $15,000!

But they wandered in the desert for 40 years... until all who had been slaves had died. Until the memory and the habit and the mindset of bondage were erased. And only then did they settle in a new land, making a new start, free. A new start is only possible when the Past is really swept away.

There's such a great quote from a great Eastern mystic teacher:

I use my memories. I do not allow my memories to use me.

I had a perfectly horrible night, fraught with a stupid recurring dream.

I don't know why these things happen, but last night's dream...which always continued after being put on hold as I would awaken and reposition myself on the bed, pull up the covers, get up for a head call or a cup of water...was about a series of recordings by various individuals, all of whom were "known" to me, but all of whom are "deceased"...and all of whom recorded tapes about a project called "Syriana."

I have NOT seen the movie. I have no awareness of having been bombarded with "Syriana" waves or anything...and in the dream, I was in a room where the recordings were being played, each being transcribed carefully so as to suss out any clues about the mystery of this "Syriana."

Since I don't know squat about the film, there is no correlation between what it's about and what the dream concerned itself with, but I'm guessing my subconscious has been turning that word over and over and devised a little dream for me to ruin a night with.

I can well imagine (turning toward the WoD), that the nation's Easter eggplants have been turning and burning furiously in anticipation of the weekend.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #51 on:** April 14, 2006, 09:10:06 AM »

If it's embryonic, how can an eggplant anything?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #52 on:** April 14, 2006, 09:10:54 AM »

I once had an eggplant, but someone poached it.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #53 on:** April 14, 2006, 09:12:11 AM »

How many eggs could an eggplant plant if an eggplant could plant eggs?

Aubergine, George....aubergine!
