MY INTERNAL CLOCK IS INTERNALLY SCREWY

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, my internal clock in internally screwy and apparently is set for four hours of sleep a night. Well, we must reset that internal clock because I am mightily bored of napping for hours at a time to play catchup with the damn internal clock. So, I must write these here notes in a hurry as they are currently late and I must shower and the get to bed no later than two o’clock and hopefully sleep until ten. That is the goal. Yesterday was a thankfully not too scary Friday the thirteenth. As mentioned, I got four hours of sleep, arising at eight. I answered a veritable plethora of e-mails, played on the computer, then at some point got another hour of sleep. For food, I’d pre-ordered a burger from Islands, but it wasn’t going to arrive for a couple of hours, so I got a second burger to come first – one I’d been meaning to try – a real burger stand burger, the kind that used to be everywhere in L.A., this one a little stand called Jack’s Burgers, which I’ve driven by countless times. That arrived pretty quickly and was just like a burger stand burger, so I enjoyed it. Later, the Islands burger came and I’m afraid it paled in comparison – don’t know why, really, but it paled, oh, yes, it paled in comparison and, conversely, in comparison it paled. After finishing that, I dressed myself and moseyed on over to the mail place and picked up a couple of small packages and a couple of pieces of mail, then came right back home. I put an ask out for another person for the album I’m producing, and we set a tentative date to record – and hopefully that date will work for everyone. We still have three key roles to cast. After that, we got the final approval for the packaging of our next release and that went off to the printers. We’ll announce that major release in a couple of weeks and I could not be more excited. Then began the infernal napping – first, forty-five minutes on the bed. Then a few things on the computer, and then sitting on my couch like so much fish, which took up the entire evening of on again/off again snoozing. And here we are.

Today, I have no real plans and, as a matter of factual fact, I have no fake plans either. I’ll just sit here like a beached whale, I may make some Wacky Noodles, or I may bring in food, we shall see. I am bound and determined to watch a motion picture or two, otherwise, I don’t mind having me two ME days in a row, I really don’t and don’t try and tell me I do, I do, like the musical of the same name. I hope to listen to some damn music, too.

Tomorrow will definitely be a ME day, and then this week will be filled with busy – hopefully getting the galley from the publisher so I can approve and have it go to the printers, hopefully get the print for the Swedish My Fair Lady and get that to the pressing plant, ship out the French How to Succeed CDs on Monday, have a couple of meetings and meals, and set the rest of the cast for the recording.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, be up when I’m up, have no real or fake plans for the day or evening, eat, watch a motion picture or two, listen to some music, and, of course, relax. Today’s topic of discussion: Do you like and wear jewelry? Things like rings, chains, bracelets, watches? I’ll start, ever since losing my opal ring I bought while in college – lost when I filmed one of my Partridge Family episodes – I have never worn a piece of jewelry since. No rings, no chains, no bracelets, no earrings, and certainly no watches. Your turn. Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, hoping I can reset my internal clock.
