in the airport waiting to go to scotland... debbie says: "the pattern of behavior of putting these puppets into power and then tearing them down when they are successful is crap" doesnt like puppetry
on a positive note she says: "im working on my book, memoirs, trying to remember everything..."
do you have a new years message? "a really interesting documentary film from iceland called 'investigation' see that"
i looked it up theres a lot about it, it deals with 'Iceland’s unselfconscious belief in hidden beings -- elves, ghosts, sea monsters and aliens' looks good, i'll have to check it out...
on my list is "Casshern", japanese, pretty amazing...
i hope aviator is ok, i just watched 'raging bull' before, its sad, scorcese is one of the last ones here... debbie said "well of course its about hollywood, how can they make a real movie about that..." yeah well we'll see
more later on
HAPPY NEW YEARS
from all of us

merry xmas to all and related etc.
thanks for taking the time to write... i dont have anything right now, nice dreams for all, dont get too sucked up in the grim holiday greed grind, going to toys are us around now is like unto seeing a gladiatorial event, the madness infects the littlest kids and turns them into all devouring beasts,
oh yeah as far as current events go i was really amused by this: the other week when rumsfield got called out about equipment by the soldier at the iraq 'meeting' with the troops, any how the same day this story was on the first page with pictures of the new york times, the post (ny post) stuck it on page 18 (i checked) as a small four paragraph item entitled "rumsfield spars with troops" something like that... i find it almost impossible to watch television lately, i do see sesame street a lot though, akira really likes it, she has become an elmo fan, calls him "emna"
christmas looms, snow on trees here

i'm really excited about announcing the upcoming release (finally) of TV PARTY the DVD... i just got and watched it yesterday, actually its a three disc set... any way its like TOTALLY GREAT!!! im very impressed with the quality of the whole package, if we cant get it on HBO or something i'll be surprised
so far i dont have release info, the release party is on the 8th of dec. the thing comes from BRINK FILMS (see http://www.brink.com for a few details) and was produced for DVD by Kai Eric who did a fantastic job...
i'm not one for blatant plugging but this is essential viewing for blondie/debbie fans, theres a lot of stuff of DH, more than i'd remembered, theres even a weird clip of part of a very early version of "Tide is High" that i had totally forgotten about, its us at the Mudd Club and i was surprised to see Debbie actually reading the lyrics which indicates how early the thing was in the history of the song (the first demo of our version was worked up with Walter Steding and Lenny Ferrari who were, with me, the TV Party orkestra)
i was the co-host of TVP, for those of you who dont know about it, it was a cable tv show that went on for four years from 1979 there abouts... Glenn and i have been talking about reviving it somehow we'll see what happens
as soon as i get more specific info about the actual release i'll put it up here
