Am I suspended in gaffa?

[sovay]

My flash "The Fool Where Angels Fear" has been accepted by Not One of Us.

Copies of Not One of Us #42, meanwhile, are now available. My poem "Phersu" can be found in its pages, along with work by Patricia Russo, J.C. Runolfson, Eugene Mirabelli, and other artists of this issue's theme, communication—or not. Strange is your language and I have no decoder. I feel like that most days.

I must throw some books into a backpack. I am off to Providence this afternoon. Till then: man, I need more Hans Conried in my life.

Hans Conried in my life.

movies or tv?

movies or tv?

Radio, even. He impressed me incredibly with The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.

He is to me, the voice of Dr Seuss, he did a lot of narrations ...

eredien has shown me Halloween Is Grinch Night (1977); it's what reminded me that I had never seen The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. What others was he involved with?

oh he was prolific, amongst all that he was the voice of Hook in the original Disney Peter Pan, and the voice of Snidley Whiplash in the Dudley Do-right cartoons. The man had an interesting voice and he knew how to use it.

That I knew. I was asking about other Dr. Seuss; I may have misread your original statement about narration.

The man had an interesting voice and he knew how to use it.

Yes. One of the qualities that struck me most about his performance as Dr. T was the extraordinary versatility of his voice—I don't mean a knack for accents or mimicry, I mean that I couldn't remember the last time I'd heard someone quick-change so many tones, timbres, inflections in a few phrases; and it was comedy, so he could really pull all the stops out. (A particular flair for the outraged skid into falsetto was on display.) Some of the things he did to unsuspecting sentences have to be believed. I like that.

it was probably me that did the misreading, I having a less than stellar day, but I did a look up

http://www.fandango.com/hansconried/filmography/p14584

he did Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs... and looking at his filmography I was stunned to see what else... he did a lot as Narrator.

Very good! Not One of Us is one of my favorite magazines.

On a tangential note, wakanomori beat me to "The Signal-man"--he saw it last night and confirmed that it was excellent.

I am quite fond of it . . .

Huzzah!

And just now I at last saw it! Wonderful job--very creepy. The silent ringing of the bell was absolutely brilliant.

Congratulations! I've been reading the latest issue of Not One of Us this past week. As always, excellent stories and poems. Oops, I was going to say more but my daughter's running late for a play she wants to attend! Off I go too!

Well, why don't you make your intentions clear?

I'm all mixed up—I got nothing to say!

[handful-ofdust.livejournal.com]

Oh, riiiiight. Couldn't remember.;)
