Pain-free vibes for Jeanne.

(I originally typed pan-free, but I do hope you have enough pans.)

Went dancing tonight, but the floor was so packed with people that it was hard to move on the floor.

There was a live band and the music was quite good.

Towards the end, I began to get a sinus headache, which I don't think will be gone until the thunderstorm comes in in a few hours.

I wanted to finish Paris When It Sizzles, but it may do me in first.

Read a new book on the making of Rosemary's Baby, which also features all the on the set photos of Bob Willoughby (there was already a book of his photos, but more here) - it's a handsome book, and for those who don't know anything about the making of the film, it will be a fun read.  I knew pretty much all the stories, but there were some new quotes from folks, but I wish it were more in depth instead of just recounting the same old stuff.  When you account for all the photos the actual text is probably less than eighty pages.  Happy to have it, though.

Ira Levin's son Nick is an excellent composer.  I wonder if he'll ever musicalize any of his father's work.

One can only hope not.  Although... The Boys from Brazil might be fun as a musical romp.

TOD 3:

Worst Shakespeare:
Shogun Macbeth — The Actors had to say something Japanese for effect, but it sounded like “nyuk, nyuk” and turned the evening into a Three Stooges farce.

Titus, an outer space rock musical version of Titus Andronicus in which a character dressed as an alien cat walked over to a rock and pulled out a microphone for his big number.

:o Oh, my!

Today, my sister made vegetarian enchiladas that were very good.  Even my dad who really prefers ground beef in all his Mexican food really liked them.  I had two of them (and brought home a third one) and they were too much.  I should've had one and taken two home. ::)

Topic of the Day (addendum):  Harlequin Productions, a local semi-professional theater company, wrote their own musical version of A Rock 'n' Roll Twelfth Night.  It really was quite good!  They even made two cast recordings.

I also really like the Digital Theatre version of Much Ado About Nothing starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate.

I read that 91 year old Bill Daily passed away today.

I'd seen that earlier, too. :(

I just saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in IMAX and in its roadshow version including overture, 15-minute intermission, entr'acte and exit music. This the first time I've seen it on a huge screen. This is how it must have looked in its Cinerama/Super Panavision presentation. The visual effects still hold up and the "light show" is amazing. If it's playing anywhere in IMAX go see it. It's 50 years old and they really don't make movies like this anymore. I don't think I can ever watch it on TV again.

That sounds like it was pretty darned cool, Michael!  There are a couple of local IMAX theaters, but I don't know if 2001 was showing around here.

My mom just called to let me know her brother has passed away

Vixmom, I'm so sorry.  My condolences to you and your family.

my head is much, much better today which means the nausea is as well.  what a relief. 

So what ended up happening? They fit you in for a consultation that same day? The next day? And then you had the surgery right away? What did the doc say about your elbow? How long will you be out of commission? And will it heal completely?

they fit me in for the last appointment after the doctor was out of surgery.  he actually never made it but i saw his impressive PA (assistant) who removed my cast, sent me down the hall for new x-rays, ordered surgery for the following afternoon, and put a new cast on.

the surgeon has a great bedside manner and spent a good amount of time talking to me before the surgery.  he said due to the delay in getting this fixed i may never gain full motion on my elbow.

due to my soft bones the cast has to stay on 2 weeks instead of one, another delay before i can begin PT.

Jane, that's terrible about potentially losing the full motion of your elbow. :-\

We then came home for lunch and went to a late afternoon reception at the offices of the Middletown Community Foundation to meet their new executive director.

From there we met Rob and Mary Linda at the barbecue jernt on Central Avenue to celebrate his 33rd birthday.

That's a lot of socializing in one day for a couple of homebodies!

Happy birthday greetings to Rob!

Ditto to the Happy Birthday greetings to Rob!

bryan suggested i take an advil since i wasn't taking anything else for the pain and to help the swelling.  i took it about 45 minutes before we went for a walk and was able to take a decent one.



I don’t think you should take a Decent that soon after taking an Advil.

At the reunion tonight, two people asked me what the book I am writing is about.



I told them it was a sordid tell-all about the class of 1968 at Wilson High School!
