Well, you've read the notes, the notes doubled, tripled, and quadrupled the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the double, triple, and quadruple cows come home.

DR George, I was afraid the easy kitty cleanup portended something grisly before the day ended.  Luckily, that wasn't the case.

This morning, as soon as 9:00 lands, I will drag the old cat tree out of the apartment, vacuum the area, and assemble the new one.  I hope it goes smoothly; I will have three cats anxiously supervising my work.

It’s so good to read about the laughs, and it continues to kill me that I can’t see this production. Hell’s Bells (does anyone still say Hell’s Bells?), I still feel that about LI’L ABNER and DIAL ‘M’ FOR MURDER and BK’s own original works.

We had a strange, but ultimately good, audience last night. I figured I’d jinxed it by posting of the great audience reactions to this show, because this group was noticeably quieter during the opening announcement, and then disturbingly (for my taste) quiet through the first two ensemble numbers. Then something happened and the solo number that follows pulled them right in, and they were with us on every word through the rest of the evening. Go figure.

I enjoyed THE COTTON CLUB.  In fact, I have it on DVD.

No real interest in seeing a revised version.

Doesn't Mr. Coppola have something better to do?

Whatever happened to THE GODFATHER IV?

It was supposed to focus on the Andy Garcia character.

I never saw THE COTTON CLUB. It sounds like I’d like it fine, but for some reason I was never quite enticed to go out to see it or even rent it back in the day.

There was another one BK mentioned recently that I meant to comment on. NEW YORK, NEW YORK. To this day I haven’t had the slightest inclination to see it. It’s not like I don’t like most of the people involved, or like I don’t love that little town we like to call New York, New York. Y’know? But from day one, I always somehow “knew” I had no interest in this movie.

I would swear that I've seen a DVD of NEW YORK NEW YORK with the cut numbers in an Appendix or put back into the film, but my only memory of it now is "will it ever end?"

The cat tree is assembled and the old one dragged to the basement.  Annabelle was in the hammock for a bit and now she's inside the little house.  Stella and Thatch are exploring it cautiously.  I painted myself into a corner a couple of times, and my mobility problems added to the time it took to complete the work, about 3 hours including cleanup.  I am quite happy with it.

I loved the original Cotton Club and really want to see the re-edited version because it has supposedly more footage of Gregory Hines, Lonette McKee and the musical numbers.

But Coppola has a bad record of editing musical numbers, as One from the Heart and Finian’s Rainbow ably demonstrate.

I love every note of the New York, New York soundtrack. Georgie Auld’s saxophone is incredible. Liza’s voice was warm, wonderful. The Kander-Ebb songs great. The story of Francine and Johnny not so hot.

They've all checked their new cat tree out.  When I returned from the market they were all sleeping, Annabelle in the hammock, Thatch in the top bed, and
Stella in the little house on the second level.  We need to get our court photographer in for a session.

Back from a not as good as last night show, due to some sloppy timing and low vocal energy from our leading man, but that's me watching - I think the audience really enjoyed it from the reaction at the end.

Then I went to Ralph's and got everything else I needed for the Do.  The really good news is they were having an incredible sale on Diet Coke and waters, so I really stocked up.  And a savings of forty bucks, so that's pretty good.

I was only able to get one of the waters in the house because it began to pour.  So, as soon as that stops I'll bring in the rest of the stuff.

DR George, I was afraid the easy kitty cleanup portended something grisly before the day ended.  Luckily, that wasn't the case.

Whew!!

The cat tree is assembled and the old one dragged to the basement.  Annabelle was in the hammock for a bit and now she's inside the little house.  Stella and Thatch are exploring it cautiously.  I painted myself into a corner a couple of times, and my mobility problems added to the time it took to complete the work, about 3 hours including cleanup.  I am quite happy with it.

That's great, Larry!

I am as caught up with wrapping as I can be at the moment and I have baked a batch of shortbread cut-outs.  Between tasks I’ve sat with a bag of frozen peas on my ankle to relieve what I’ve diagnosed as tarsal tunnel syndrome.

Do not understand her appeal.

I fell asleep for an hour.  Tried to watch Ford vs. Ferrari and just hated it.  I know people like it, but I have up after forty minutes.  I'll take Grand Prix any day, and if I never see Mr. Christian Bale in another film it will be too soon.

Then I watched a bit of Something for Everyone, a film that went away so quickly I never had a chance to see it.  Well, it's as awful as everyone says - but I'll bet on the imdb there'll be the usual "undiscovered gem" comments.  I didn't realize it was quite so early in the Harold Prince years - 1970.

At my work, we get 16 hours per year that we can use for anything, and we don't have to give a reason.  They are use-them-by-the-end-of-each-year-or-lose-them hours, so I usually just use them first.

Watched the first ten minutes of Madigan, a not so great Don Siegel movie that I'm quite fond of.  Sadly, Kino accepted a piss poor transfer from Universal off a fading, brown internegative that looks like utter crap.  I had a gorgeous dye transfer scope print of this film and this looks nothing like it.

I watched a sweet little movie from 2018 called THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES.  It stars Kurt Russell as Santa Claus, so you know it is a documentary.  It is sweet, a bit corny, but, all in all, a nice way to spend one hour and forty minutes this holiday season.

I have a topic for the next two days.  What is your favorite Christmas song(s)?

Now there are rules.  It can be a classic carol, a holiday classic, or a comic song for the season.  BUT, you are limited to only two choices.  No copying the list of “Billboard’s Hot 100 Christmas Tunes” or the listing from the back of one of your holiday CDs.  Two songs only.  So take your time.  You have tomorrow and Tuesday to post your favorites!

 HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I'll definitely have to think about this, but I already know that neither will be a traditional/classic Christmas carol.
