**UPDATE**

Know this - if you are around me long enough, the chances are favorable that I will make you watch a classic Universal horror movie that you would not have previously chosen to sit through. Case in point - last evening. A buddy of mine came over to hang out and since Acquanetta died this week, I pulled out CAPTIVE WILD WOMAN. To his credit, he sat through the whole thing.

This same friend was freaked out recently, because several days ago, everywhere he went, he saw dead crows. And while driving to my place, every car that pulled up behind him was occupied by a woman who was crying heavily. Yesterday, he found a child's handprints on the closet mirror in his bedroom. He doesn't have kids.

But I digress -- after Captive Wild Woman, I continued the Martha Vickers fest by putting on THE BIG SLEEP. Love that movie. However, since we had run out of alcohol, my friend left.

If there was a game show based on your life, what would it be called?

-----------------------

There is apparently a rat in the office and everyone is consumed with finding it - even though we move to another studio tomorrow.

Having dinner tonight at Morton's with my buddy Dave, who's a big-time TV writer. It's always an old Hollywood experience when we hang out and dinner is an event. Scotch or martini, followed by shrimp cocktail, steak, wine, desert, coffee. But it's not a date. It's like a date - only without the sex.

Wait - that's exactly like a date for me.
