I'm up, I'm up - ten and a half hours of blessed sleep.

Noisy neighbors, but I just woke up, and fell asleep. Helper's mom came at eleven to get stuff but I just went right back to sleep.

It's heresy to say it, but I, too, was never all that fond of Laurel and Hardy. They're funny in very short doses, but the film of theirs that really works for me is Way Out West. But I've tried. I've got a complete L&H DVD set and I couldn't get through it.

Charlie Chaplin - always great, in fact always brilliant and always makes me laugh. Buster Keaton, mostly the same and even if I'm not laughing I'm engaged with his physicality. That's probably it. I don't know others as well as I should.

Went and picked up a tiny residual and am now back.

I know I wasn't asked, but my favorite silent film actors are the comedians. At the top is Buster Keaton, kabuki-mask face and perfect timing. Chaplin can achieve the sublime. I'm just learning more about Harold Lloyd, especially with a few of these recent film restorations. Mabel Normand was incandescent, a comic genius.

Just finishing up The Magnificent Seven with its magnificent film score.

I had one slight problem with the film -- if you overthink it. Whenever the shooting is going on, guys get shot, but the horses never do.

How does "They Shoot Horses, Don't They" fit in here?

Most unseemly.

Back from a dinner meeting where I met and dined. Went to Barone's and we split a pepperoni pizza, which was fantastic. We each had four pieces and we each took home two-and-a-half pieces.

Prior to that, Sami and her mom came for a visit.

Is four pieces as much food as four slices in NY dining?

Ask B.K. Day:

I just finished The Magnificent Seven with its great Elmer Bernstein score. What are some of your other favorite scores for westerns, spaghetti and all?

I got a start on my Asian restaurants article. Maybe a third of the way.

I haven't written in a few months, so it's been really like pulling hair.

I need to have it done by Monday and another article I won't get the chance to do an interview for until Friday.

But I'm sort of worked up.

I did take a short nap this afternoon.
