That's the title of my next novella - On the Prowl for A New Member.

Which begs the question...what did you do that requires you find a "new" member?

Or...to be more delicate...how is that you became "dis"-membered?

It's a giddy Friday afternoon. This week started off with a sick day...and the next three days were 10-hours plus each. I'm nearly light-headed in anticipation of "quittin' time"!

I also watched the featurette on the restoration of the film using Ultra-Resolution. They said that THE WIZARD OF OZ is the most protected film that they know about with about 7 or 8 sets of unable elements. They were able to use the camera negative to do the Ultra-Resolution version.

Was this a standard version of the film or Blu-ray?

I went to the health food store to pick up a few groceries. I never realized how much drama can take place while food shopping. The person doing the bagging at my check-out was quite slow and the checker was oblivious. She kept checking, despite the fact that the bagger was two customers behind. When she finished ringing me up she was impatient for me to slide my credit card through the machine, but, because of the back-up, I was still a couple feet from said machine. I tried to explain that we were backed-up, but she was far from interested. Then the lady behind me got impatient because her groceries had been rung up, but things weren't moving. Short of plowing into the woman ahead of me, I really didn't see what I could do about it. I was hoping the manager would appear before a riot broke out. Then the bagger asked me if the woman behind me and I were friends--because, presumably we'd exchanged a couple words. At that point it was all too ludicrous.

Not fun when you are feeling weak and need to get out of there.

I Dismember Mama

A Hainsie/Kimlet took an axe
And gave his mother forty whacks.
And when he saw what he had done
He gave his father forty-one.

Back from doing some errands. I was thinking about jogging but my legs are REALLY sore so I think I'll wait until Sunday or maybe tomorrow.

Anyone know if the DRG release of the 1977 version of A Party With Betty Comden and Adolph Green has ever been re-release. (The version I have (2 CDs) has one long track on each disc.)

Have I mentioned that my legs are sore?

Friday Media Check:

CD - ANNIE GET YOUR GUN (studio cast with Doris Day/Robert Goulet)

I never hated a recording of Annie Get Your Gun more than this one. I bought the original LP release as a kid and appalled at the orchestrations. (Although at that time I didn't know exactly what that was) I was so used to hearing and had the Ethel Merman's version engrained in my head that I could not overcome the new sound. I am sure Robert Goulet was a perfect Frank Butler but not to my young ears in this version

Standard. The Blu-ray version is not slated until next year.

Not a very theatrical version of the score at all, but Day's vocals are delectable and Goulet was born to play Frank Butler. This was the first LP version of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN that I owned, so I came to it with NO preconceived notions of what it should sound like.

And now I'm going to head down and clean the den. Being ill has gotten me off my cleaning schedule big time, so looks like the kitchen floor will have to go another week before getting mopped. It will survive, and I KNOW I will!

Absolutely. And I did watch it using the Toshiba. The film grain was more noticeable using the Toshiba and my "new" TV.

Off to do chores, probably watch another NUMB3RS episode, and then get down to reviewing chores with UNBREAKABLE.

I can see again, I've run all my errands, and I'm in for the evening. I think it's time for a nap.
