Good morning, all.

A strange but mostly okay night of sleep, during which I woke several times starting at 3:30 a.m. for apparently no reason.  Dreams were benign, as far as I can recall.  Poe (the cat, not the gentleman buried in Baltimore) kept coming up to cuddle, and he's a great cuddler when the mood strikes him.  I did lose some sleep between all the waking and then getting up quite early, so will settle for a nap later this morning, that I might be as proverbially fresh as the proverbial daisy for rehearsal this evening.  In the meantime...

Coffee!

It is my understanding that you can register a title, but that you cannot copyright a title.....but that could just be for the movies....

That was part of the problem in 1965 when we ended up with two movies both titled HARLOW....

Good morning, all! I slept quite poorly, and I blame the burger, not the waiter. At 6:00 last night, I was still feeling quite full from lunch, so I had no dinner. By 10pm, I was ravenous and ate too much junk. I was up and down all night, plus my shoulder still aches and I had a very restless night. I slept late this morning, to be awakened by a call from Paris concerning Liz Callaway charts. Now that I am up and moving, I will do laundry, tidy the apartment, and work on cutting these liner notes to shreds.

DR ChasSmith, what the fawning, obnoxious waiter needs is not to hear DEAREST ENEMY but to hear from someone in charge everything he's doing wrong as a waiter before someone nastier than I complains about what a nuisance he is to his customers.

I'm thinking it's time to put away the long trousers and put on shorts!

Just got off the phone with the publisher and the book is going directly to the next phase today - so, crisis done.  They were quite in the wrong about the trademark and have apologized - they obviously had no problem with the show being used as a plot device in the book itself, just worried about its use in the title - I could have become hard-headed about it, but we all kind of like the new title better and they are more comfortable with it so that was my decision and on it goes to the galley and cover proof phase.  Grant and Muse Margaret both thought the new title conjured up exactly what the book was better than using the show title and I see their point - so, perhaps the drama was good.  And here it is:

Nope, no further discussion about anything.  The song quotes all fall in the 10% rule and are fine - one of them didn't, and that's the one I changed from eight lines to two lines - it works fine with two lines because of the dialogue that follows.

I realized that if I did the jog at eight it wouldn't have even been twelve hours since the last jog, so I'll do it after lunch or after the work session, depending on how I feel.  Besides, it's really nice out, so a little later will be more pleasant.

Sorry you felt it necessary to change the title.

Frankly, I don't think sales will be affected one way or another, but I do think the original title was more intriguing.

Finally have a chance to sit down and breathe and catch up on the board here.  Tonight is the invited preview for the helicopter show.  It's coming along.  The cast and the band are great, the tech is coming along.  It's going to be a sell out for our little company I have a feeling.

The web show opened and closed and thank heaven I didn't see it.  It wouldn't have frustrated me to death - and that's all I'll say about that.

The coat show is coming along fine.

On the home front, I applied at an apartment complex that will work very well for me.  It's a little more expensive than I would like, but it has in-unit washer and dryer and it's close to where my family is.  I'm still waiting to hear.  I'll probably call soon and find out what's up.  The other apartment option is a little bigger, a little less money, and no in-unit washer and dryer - but still in the same city as my family. (not that that is important, but it would be nice)

Hey, FJL, do you have a song yet about the news that "Guys and Dolls" is being remade with Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Not yet - How about with all his stripping like in Magic Mike, "a person could develop a bad bad cold"

Any word on the women for the movie?
No. But I thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt could make a good Adelaide. And I think it would be fun to have Nathan Lane as Nicely Nicely.

I find the back and forth with the publisher fascinating. I like the amended cover. But I wonder about what you said concerning the song quotes. Obviously no further problem in that department as the publisher is going ahead with printing the book. I just wonder if they said anything else about it.

Nope, no further discussion about anything.  The song quotes all fall in the 10% rule and are fine - one of them didn't, and that's the one I changed from eight lines to two lines - it works fine with two lines because of the dialogue that follows.

Sorry you felt it necessary to change the title.

Frankly, I don't think sales will be affected one way or another, but I do think the original title was more intriguing.

The decision was all mine to make - we all liked the new title better for many reasons.  Hence, I changed it.

Enjoyed the interview DR Jrand62. I didn't know "Gaslight" had an alternative title. I love the play (I saw a stage production once) and both films. In fact, Patrick Hamilton is one of my favorite writers. "Hangover Square" is brilliant.

Did a three-mile jog, then had to type up the lyrics for a very complicated put-together of four songs so the singer has it all in one place and doesn't have to rifle through all that music.  Then I finished a motion picture, and now I'm hungry as all get out and I think we all know just how hungry all get out is.  The quesadilla was more calories than I usually have during the day, almost nine hundred with the guacamole, but I ran some of that off and I really feel I should have something.  So, I'm thinking of scrambled eggs and onions, which is less than two hundred calories.  Of course, I have to go buy eggs if that's what I want to make.
