Saw "Sorry, Wrong Number!" (1948, starring Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster) over the last couple of nights. I was really tired during the first half of the movie and had a lot of trouble following what was a pretty complex plot, but the filmmaking was so spectacular that near the end of the movie I was drawn completely in, even not knowing exactly what was going on. One of the most thrilling and suspenseful ends to a movie I have EVER SEEN, bar none. So much so that I just got Gibb's "sprinkles" as I typed the previous sentence. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend this film. Simply incredible. First movie where Sharon has ever had to cling to my arm and bury her head during the climax.
ALSO--landmark day at work. No, not because it's retail's "Black Friday" (1st shopping day after Thanksgiving), but because I (being pretty much the only guy around in my area) took a big honking long coffee break and finally FINALLY finished my first set of lyrics for the insurgent-country SECRET OF HIM. Song about my departed grandparents called "Standing Above Where You Lay." Question though, Mixdorf. Is that correct grammar? Or should it be "Standing Above Where You Lie?" If it's that, I might have to change the title, since it wouldn't work quite so well for me, artistically, the latter way. Perhaps I should just not care, though. After all, this is rock n roll (or, more specifically, rock-country). And grammar really shouldn't matter all that much.
Anyway, I would post the lyrics (and still might), but I'm a little hesitant, not knowing if they stand completely on their own merit, as happy with them as I currently am. Perhaps an .mpeg version will be emailed out or posted to my geocities page if I get a recorded version done in the next few weeks.

Don't remember the grammar rules.
I wouldn't worry about whether it's correct grammar or not.
Dude, you should thik about renaming the title of your album. It sounds like the Secret of Ninme, or whatever the rat cartoon was. You don't want people thinking that do you? Just thought that I would mention it.
Actually, I am hoping for people to make a connection between the two. While I appreciate your concern, the play on words is intentional.
And, it's NIMH (Mixdorf, "National Institute for Medicine & Health?)
