Worked my arse off today hammering my 6x novella into its final form. I’ve sent it off to Keith and so now its a waiting game… does it still suck hairy dogs balls? I honestly can’t tell. But I’ve been awesomely righteous — not only did I write all day but I vacuumed and steam mopped the house as well! Time for a hot bath, sav blanc and a dose of Korla Pandit music, after which we shall be indulging in this movie
Yes, that’s David Hasselhoff on the cover. No, I never get bored of giant snake movies even though they’re all exactly the same.

You are officially Beyond Hope. *g*
yep. and proud of it!
What is this ‘Korla Pandit’ of which you speak? On our planet, we know nothing of this…
And does the waterfall still run backward in Anaconda 3?

and as for Anaconda 3… pfah. The whole movie would have been better off running backwards…
Catsk: right now our Mighty 512k Satellite Net Access has been “shaped” back to 64k because we’ve exceeded our heroic 2G/month of prime-time access. Of course, there’s still half a gig remaining of the 4G we get in off-peak access, but I won’t be able to reach those blistering 512k speeds again until 11.00 tonight… and frankly, the half-dozen Gin Flints I’ve had are going to succeed in putting me to sleep before then.
(Gin Flint: One part gin. One-half Cointreau. One part sugar syrup. One part lime juice. Pour the lot over a highball glass full of shaved ice. Stir. Enjoy.)
So… what the buggery is Korla Pandit, in words of two syllables or less?
No. Hang it. There’s no reason you should have to answer that. I’ll wait four or five days for our account to renew itself, and then I’ll check that youtube link.

Dirk, I’d be happy to “explain” who Korla Pandit was… but seeing as its his music I was talking about, I think it might be best if you checked out the link in a week or whatever.
Here is a snippet from his Wiki page:
Korla Pandit’s Adventures In Music was first telecast on Los Angeles station KTLA in February 1949, and viewers soon became familiar with the musical opening, “The Magnetic Theme.” Landsberg insisted that Korla not speak but instead simply gaze dreamily into the camera as he played the Hammond organ and Steinway grand piano, often simultaneously. Following Klaus’s directorial and contractual stipulations, Pandit became an overnight star and one of early television’s pioneering musical artists.
