  • Suspense!

    "Suspense," the radio series, is exactly what the title says. "If you have listened to us before, you will know that 'Suspense' is compounded of mystery and suspicion and dangerous adventure!" Every episode is differen…

  • Jordi, look whatcha done! You mentioned Jack Webb and didn't know who he was. So of course I have to share this video. It's from 1968 apparently, well after the radio show and definitely after the TV version of "Dragne…

  • Gang Aft Agley

    So, uh, I got home from work and school last night about 7:20. I had every intention of studying my accounting, even though I'm a little ahead on my homework. Somehow I ended up sharing my Messiah book with Bro. No. 3 …

  • Letter Song Meme!

    List 10 songs that begin with the letter given to you and explain why you picked them. Comment and I shall give you a letter. Note: songs starting with "the" don't count. I got "L."Golly, this was tough. Very few sim…

  • I'm fearfully sleepy. To caffeine and most drugs I am pretty immune, but this particular medication really does a number on me. Alas, I must endure it periodically. Because for the most part it works. The non-generic…

  • Progress in Three Fandoms! or, The Takeover Continues

    On Monday, Bro. No. 3 invaded my computer to burn a CD. On it he put every Dick Powell song I had, finishing the CD with The Messiah for good measure. Since then, "My Baby Says It's So" has been playing constantly. Lo…

  • Wow.

    Jael, I just listened to Dangerously Yours - Masquerade (June 20, 1944). Good NIGHT. In other OTR news, I exhausted Randy's OTR trove of "The Shadow" and moved on to "Suspense." Two wonderful surprises from the ear…

  • She was a sob-sob sister...

    I forgot - I did do something worthwhile last night: I made an mp3 of the song that Lauren Bacall sings in The Big Sleep. It's only a minute and a half, but it's fun to listen to. I did have to do some work in Audacity…

  • SNOW! and a Saintly ramble

    I seem to remember a forecast for a few flurries last night. In Texas, that means that either we shoot up into the balmy 50s, or we have a virtual blizzard. Today we lucked out with the blizzard. I got up at 5, since …

  • Well, that's taken care of!

    Thus followeth the moving picture rambles promised thou. The writing of this epic cost thy humble blogger much time and brought on a head-ache, so considerest thou carefully and kindly before allowing thy fingers to com…

  • I, for one, have had an eventful Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Sewing: The boys' white shirts are done!!!! I gave them and my dad a box of fabric and a pattern for Christmas. That's Christmas 2005. I've had these mo…

  • So far today I have: 1. Taught myself how to sew buttonholes by hand. (Three practice ones.) 2. Discovered I only need to do fifteen buttonholes to finish the shirts, not eighteen. 3. Knocked out five button…

  • We've dropped thirty degrees in six hours. That, my friends, is a cold front. The temperature will be hovering around and below freezing for the next forty-eight hours. With lots of moisture in the air, that spel…

  • One weekend, three evenings, and two dozen shows of "The Shadow" later, the boys' white 1860s shirts all have collars. They're nifty stand-up collars, too, and seem to fit perfectly. I don't know how. (For you who …

  • Two pictures from Fort Washita

    Fort Washita, Oklahoma, December 9, 2006. Tintype My mother was hopping around with the camera while I was waiting for the photographer to get ready. I wasn't prepared for her photographs. :D The wind was strong an…

  • OTR Fan has up the "Golf Game" episode of Phil Harris & Alice Faye! This one guest-stars Sheldon Leonard, who may become my own very first Mutt. You'll know him - he's the the New Yawk gangster with the side-of-…

  • Diamond-Studded Ramblings

    I first "met" Dick Powell as "Richard Diamond, Private Detective": In my opinion, one of the top five radio private eye shows ever created. I really don't want to read biographies of Dick Powell; I'm still trembling …

  • (^^^^ No subject line! HA!) Candied pineapple is YUM. My eye makeup yesterday looked better than it did Tuesday or Wednesday. Perhaps that's because on Tuesday and Wednesday I was paying more attention to my Saint bo…

  • Here and There

    It looks like I'm inclined to "Miscellany" sorts of title lines instead of none at all. Is this good or silly? The boys and I cleaned up dinner just now. I was determined to sing, because if I didn't the others woul…

  • End of the year!

    1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before? Worked a full-time job, with benefits and the rest of the hoopla.2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I never make …
