Strange dreams of getting some massive 50-DVD Criterion box set of a nonsensical TV show from Japan that was actually a hoax. Diane Keaton supposedly starred and directed in some, though it wasn’t marked which discs were hers. It had you use a QR code that didn’t actually work, but had you calling random numbers in Japan for some reason. It rank up your phone bill astronomically and pissed off the unsuspecting folks on the other end if the line. I was upset because it took me five times to realize I had been duped.

Oh, my!

What a crazy dream!

On the Mt Rushmore of Mortons in the easy listening/classical/instrumental world of my vinyl hunting, Morton Gould is carved alongside Mort Garson and Morton Subotnick, the latter two did a lot of electronic stuff, but not all.

I watched both Notorious and The Man Who Knew Too Much last night, then went to bed and started watching the very weird silent movie Häxan (1922) - which I have owned and watched little bits of over the years, but have yet to ever get through the whole thing. I certainly didn't see it all last night, either, as I fell asleep no more than halfway through it.

I think I recorded Häxan from TCM a few years ago. But I know I also haven't watched it all the way through.

I went to pick up my prescription and then I went to the FLUX Computer place where I always take my computer to get worked on.

In 2022 I bought a nice used laptop there. The guy had a book that listed refurbished computers so I thought they might have a nice All In One Desktop with Windows 11.

When I rang the bell I was hoping the good guy would come out. But it was the other guy. He told me they didn't have any computers. I said that I got a laptop from a book once - and he said "We don't do that anymore."

So I left and started to get into the SmartCar. It wasn't locked and the window on the driver's side was down. I looked and there was a plastic bin on the passenger seat. I looked at the license plate - and it wasn't mine. Mine was parked one row over....looking exactly the same...weird.

Very strange! I've recently been seeing other copies of my car, and I've parked close to some, but there's always something different about theirs (mine is very plain, no add-ons), so I notice the differences easily.

Getting ready for the movie.

Did you tell us what you are seeing? Did I miss it?

Nice photos, DR MichaelG. What is that strange costume Samson is wearing?

It's just a one-piece robe / cloak, similar to part of most of our Hebrew costumes. I didn't post those because the Philistine costumes and sets are much more fun. But here's Samson in his full Act I costume. He's stripped of all the outer pieces in Act III.

Had a lot of trouble falling asleep. Don't know why.

My receiver of the 25 books did not bother to tell me the Fed Ex was Express, not Ground which I always use, so the Fed Ex man arrived around 2:00, saw the shipment was Express, and told me I had to schedule another pickup. I did that around 2:30, and the Fed Ex Express man arrived at 3:00!

The cartons are out of my hair. Fantastic!

Good thing you notice before getting into your car.

Great news!

Called at 2:30, picked up by 3:00! That's pretty good service.

Where is Dan today, I wonder…

I went to Kiss of the Spider Woman, and I enjoyed it. But it’s not great, thanks the writer and director, Bill Condon, who makes musicals and hates them at the same time.

Had a chili, cheese, and onion hot dog from Pink's - very good - onion rings were great last time, lousy this time.

This is the heavy pill day. All have been taken save for the one I take three times a day. I'll take the second one at six and the third at eleven.

His movie within a movie lifts its plot from Lady in the Dark. There’s even a Kendall Nesbitt character and a Danny Kaye joke.

That's a good question DR RODZINSKI.

The score was the best thing about the movie. And the performances were excellent. Graciela Daniele has a good cameo. Among the orchestrators were Doug Besterman and Michael Starobin.

I'm trying the hearing aids again that I was wearing when this condition began. I initially thought the severe pain was from the hearing aids. If only that had been the reason. Fingers crossed the pain doesn't return. I need to know if I can tolerate them or not as I do hear better with them.

Vibes that the pain doesn't return.
