Thanks everyone. I am feeling a bit better today after a good night of sleep.

My Cat Scan is scheduled for one week from today.

Don't tell The Cat.

I slept rather well last night. The cats behaved nicely. My new sleeping pattern seems to be something like this: solid sleep, 9:00-12:00, break, solid (?) sleep. 12:00-4:00, break, cats with some sleep, 4:00-5:30.

Ann delivered the book around 5:00, so it's back in the publisher's hands. I'm beginning to feel much like I feel when I finish an orchestration: I can't wait to hear it and how will my colleagues feel about it?

BK's notes about The Dark, a movie I've never seen, reminded me that in the spring of 1979, shortly before I moved to NYC, I read the "novelization" of the screenplay. BK's movie description sounds nothing like the book I read. My memory is that the killer was a vampire, not an alien, and the plot seemed more like a Ko episode.

Why is it that I can remember all that about a penny-dreadful but cannot tell you what I did yesterday morning?

Isn't that just a normal part of getting older?

I don't recall ever hearing or knowing about The Dark. I lead a blessed life.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #16 on:** June 03, 2025, 04:36:02 AM »

I went to bed a little after eleven and fell asleep pretty quickly. I think I slept pretty solidly, but I woke at 4:30 in the a.m. and barely got back to sleep after that. That's just wrong. There oughta be a law.

And again, a dream that can almost - but not quite - be remembered. Damn them!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #18 on:** June 03, 2025, 04:38:30 AM »

At noon today I have my dental cleaning and checkup. I shall hope that proceeds without incident.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #19 on:** June 03, 2025, 04:49:47 AM »

Amazing that The Dark played at the Picwood -- which, according to Cinema Treasures, didn't close until July 1985.

The last movie I saw there was E.T. in 1982, and right about then I was moving from Palms to Redondo Beach -- whereupon for a while I saw relatively few things in L.A. proper. There's a lot I missed seeing at the great theaters during those few years.

I'm sure there will be an establishing shot of the inside of my mouth today.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** June 03, 2025, 04:55:53 AM »

So, according to Michael Coate, the last 70mm movie shown at the Picwood was Amadeus. I should have gone. I remember where I saw it. Friends and I, for whatever crazy reason, went to what I believe was called the UA Cinemas or UA something in Westwood, south of Wilshire. That particular screen might have been okay, but why we went there instead of a truly first rate theeder is beyond me.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** June 03, 2025, 04:59:16 AM »

Notice how I keep jumping back and forth between the movie thing and my dental appointment.

It's all sleight of hand. Next I'll show you my amazing rope trick.

TOD: Will a vegetable egg roll count?

Or a mu shu dish of pancake with vegetables inside?

I'm assuming not.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #28 on:** June 03, 2025, 05:35:09 AM »

I like the vegetables in Chinese dishes just fine, so even though I love me my meats, I imagine I'd be fine with some Chinese dishes without meat. I just can't think of anything specific that I've had that qualifies for the TOD.

You are braver than I am. I've only seen a tiny bit of a clip here and there, and I just can't get into it at all.
