Commercially Speaking

It’s been a while since I have written anything about the Louise Log. In fact I have to admit, I missed one (#16). I caught up by going to Anne’s website and you can do the same.

Interestingly, my spouse saw a mattress commercial on television the other day, in which the main actress looks very similar to our heroine, Louise (AKA Christine Cook).

I can’t remember the name of the mattress company but I will keep an eye out.

Let me know if you see the commercial. It ends with the line, “We don’t want a repeat of last year”. I would love to find out if that is her.

Louise Log #15

Anne Flournoy has released another terrific episode of the Louise Log,… number 15. This one is called Danger. Things are getting even more interesting. Check it out:

If you have any problems with the audio, you can view it with subtitles at Anne’s website. You can also see ALL of the “logs” here. You can also subscribe there and be the first to know when another Louise Log is released along with any other things Anne is working on. Enjoy!

I’m Back

If, per chance, you tried to get to this blog recently, you were met with a Fatal Error message. That was the result of attempting to upgrade this blog to WordPress version 2.8 automatically. Even though the auto upgrade worked fine on another blog (StarFire), it crashed on this one.

A few things happened during the down period. Anne Flournoy’s short, The Louise Log #13 won a competition at New York’s channel Thirteen (you can view it at StarFire or here).

Meanwhile, #14 has been released:

Enjoy… Hopefully I’ll be back later today after I manually upgrade to version 2.8 (it’s supposed to be a security update as well as other things).

Sorry, but I’ve missed two Louise Logs. I had planned to post Louise Log #9, but had a hospital interruption.

THE SAGA CONTINUES INTO THE BEDROOM OF THE NEUROTIC WIFE/MOTHER/ARTIST HELL-BENT ON GETTING IT RIGHT (with commentary by her over-active inner voice)

Alas, here is the most recent:

#10

This is the tenth in a comedy series about a neurotic New Yorker, starring CHRISTINE COOK. To subscribe for notice of future episodes, please go to http://www.thelouiselog.com

Anne is a genious. I hope you enjoy these two.

Saving Face

PBS television showed a wonderful movie last night called Saving Face. If you get a chance to see it or rent it (There are two more showings on PBS – see the Alice Wu link), then do! If you go to the Saving Face site, make sure you read the director’s note (Alice Wu). For me, it made the film even more beautiful.
