I identified some smaller LA theaters like the interior of the Coronet and the Stage Society Theater. I identified I think it was Glenn Ford in a parking lot - Beverly Hills Hotel.

Today's was an actor named Jack Ging - standing in a parking lot. She thought it could be CBS Television City or CBS Columbia Square. Television City was out. Front of Columbia Square was out. So, I got the street view map, went to it, navigated to the street just west of it, El Centro, and found their little parking lot, but it was confusing because it looked like he was standing across the street from CBS - but no, the building across the street I got immediately - the side of the Hollywood Palladium - very distinct up and down lines on the building that match perfectly as did the windows.

Then I went back to across the street and put Jack in front of the door that matched the location of the door in the street view - it's a different door now, but above it is a very distinct looking window and that matches perfectly. So, bingo.

The story I'd tell is not juicy nor gossip.

Last night I went to bed at 6:30 p.m. and I was OUT. I woke up a couple of times -- once to get some Tylenol for a headache. But I went back to sleep pretty quickly.

Hmmm, I wonder if you will have to stop donating.  A friend of mine did as she just felt to bad after each donation.

I did fine. I sometimes get headaches. This one was probably a bit of dehydration. I live in the desert, after all.

It is my understanding that one should drink water before doing labs.  I would think that you need to drink lots of water before donating blood.

Back to Memoir of a Snail, which is good but a bit depressing. I can understand its Oscar nomination for best animated film. And I did laugh at the image of an elderly exotic dancer playing ping-pong with Fidel Castro.

Finished Michael Connelly’s latest, Nightshade. It launches a new detective, Stillwell, and he’s an interesting character. But the mystery itself was thin and too readily apparent.

That's wonderful that you're willing and able to help out like that, BK!

Wow, it was just released yesterday.  Darn about the mystery.

I can borrow Nightshade as well as four other books that became available to me yesterday, plus I am already reading a book.  Decisions, decisions.
