Well, you've read the notes, the notes were sleepy, and now it is time for you to post until the sleeping cows come home.

[bk]

And the word of the day is: HERMENEUTIC!

[bk]

Welcome seven GUESTS.  Who ARE you people?

[George]

~~~Excellent Vibes and Xylophones for a Non-Annoying Telephonic Call or, Even Better, No Telephonic Call At All For BK!!~~~

[George]

Well, I must get some sleep or I won't be rested enough to drive to Seattle from Olympia.  Good night, BK.

I do wish someone had reminded me that we had an important haineshisway.com anniversary back on November 9th - the anniversary of the beginning of this here site, back in 2001.  Which means we're entering our what, eighth year?  What a ride it's been.  I don't think there's ever been a daily blog of the length I write done every day for seven complete years, with never a day missed.  I think someone should nominate that for the Guiness Book Of World Records or something.   We've had wonderful get-togethers, have been through horrible evil and pointless lawsuits, show openings, CD recordings, eight books, deaths, births, weddings, good times and bum times, I've seen 'em all and my dear - we're still here.  So my free for all topic is favorite moments of the last seven years on this here site.  And a very happy belated haineshisway.com anniversary.

Question for our Reviewers:

Have any of you gotten the new Upstairs, Downstairs DVD set that was just released>

I saw it on the DDD site and am tempted to ask Vixdad to buy it for me - with 68 hours of viewing I figured it would help time pass  -

I only have a vaugue recollection of the series when it was shown on PBS inthe 70's but I remember how well received it was --- I would hate to waste that amount of money on it if it has not held up well over the years or if the production levels are terrible -

thanks!!

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED!

Academy disqualifies 'Dark' score

The score for "The Dark Knight" has been disqualified by the executive committee of the Academy music branch.
 
Formal letters to that effect are expected to go out this week to composers Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, who collaborated on the music.
Their previous collaboration, on "Batman Begins," was similarly disqualified in 2005.

Sources inside the committee said that the big issue was the fact that five names were listed as composers on the music cue sheet, the official studio document that specifies every piece of music (along with its duration and copyright owner) in the film.

Zimmer said, in an interview with Variety prior to this week's Acad action, that listing multiple names on the cue sheet was a way of financially rewarding parts of the music team who helped make the overall work successful. (Performing-rights societies like ASCAP and BMI use the cue sheet to distribute royalties to composers.)

Zimmer, Howard and the other three individuals -- music editor Alex Gibson, ambient music designer Mel Wesson and composer Lorne Balfe -- reportedly signed an affidavit stating that the score was primarily the work of Zimmer and Howard.

Goodness Laura, you're up early!

[elmore3003]

Good morning, all! In a little more than an hour I will meet DR Ben at Penn Station for our trek to the Princeton Record Exchange. I haven't been there in over ten years, and I am looking forward to the trip and to the company of our DR Ben.

On my way back today, I will stop at Staples and (hopefully) pick up a couple more storage boxes to finish this job.

DR vixmom, about two years ago I went on an UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS kick and watched the entire series.  I had seen it only on occasion in the 1970s, and I had a great time watching the entire saga. I think the story, both from a family chronicle and a time capsule of history, holds up quite well, and it was great to see the several episodes not shown in the USA because of the "adult" content.

I'm not sure I'd want to own it, but I certainly recommend it.

!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Last night I watched ACCIDENTAL FRIENDSHIP, written and co-produced (I believe) by our former DR Panni.  I liked the cast, and it was great to see Ben Vereen, but I think I'm too close to the harsher realities of the homeless that I couldn't buy the film's premise, even though I applaud the motives behind the production.

Around 1981, I was walking back from lunch break to Patelson's Music, feeling very good about the trip and a purchase, only to be punched in the face by a homeless man who clearly didn't like the smile on my face. I went back to work with a bloody nose and a bloody shirt. I've seen too many homeless men and women, who shouldn't be seen naked, dropping trou for a public demonstration of urination and worse, and I've been on too many subway cars, as well as when I was working at Barnes and Noble, to know that the homeless are in dire need of a bath, deodorant, and delicing. The Catholic church across from me has a daily soup kitchen in the morning and I've found the homeless who line up - and fight - around 7 am for coffee and a sandwich, sleeping in my lobby, using the incinerator closet for a toilet, and dealing drugs.

So I had a hard time buying the premise of this lady cop with her own issues getting too close to a homeless woman and befriending her and her dogs; I certainly wouldn't take the animals home before bathing them and giving them flea and tick collars! As I said, I thought the motives behind the story -  redemption, reclaiming one's life, helping others - were all good, important, and well-handled, I couldn't buy the premise and I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to.

How is Dr Kerry's marmalade kitten this morning?

Thank you _ I think I am going to ask Vixdad to buy it for me as my Christmas gift (and give him the DDD discount code of course!)

After typhoon-like wind and rain for the past 12 hours we have suddenly been blessed with bright sunshine!

HURRAH!!

The Vixter just came and told me it is time to get ready for church - at this morning's 9 AM service she's singing and I'm the lay reader- time to go get pretttified!

Laters!

Yikes, seems like so much happened yesterday while I was E&T.  I'd better go back and ketchup.

It's a new movie on the Hallmark Channel with an excellent cast, Chandra Wilson and Ben Vereen are both quite wonderful.
