I finished transcribing the chords for “Tandem” by Serge Gainsbourg as they were posted in Boite a chanson (Song Box). Then I found two more sets with the same three chords but arranged differently. I worked out the first chord for the intro, which is G and one of the three chords but none of the other versions start with G.
I played my Gibson Les Paul Studio electric guitar during song practice and it sounded great.
I weighed 85.7 kilos before breakfast.
Around midday I swept the floors. I’ll probably mop them tomorrow.
I weighed 86.15 kilos before lunch.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and stopped at Freshco on the way back. I was prepared to do a price match on grapes but all their grapes were too soft. I got a pack of raspberries, some bananas, a loaf of multigrain sandwich bread, two packs of Full City Dark coffee, a jar of salsa, and a jar of marinara sauce. I walked across the street to Metro but their grapes were all too soft as well so I didn’t get anything there. I have enough cherries to last till I go to No Frills on Saturday so hopefully they’ll have some firm grapes.
I think my balaclava fell out of my jacket pocket while I was riding and so I’ll have to buy another.
I weighed 85.95 kilos at 19:00.
I was caught up on my journal at 19:53.
I continued to search through old videos of hippies to find material for my Seven Shades of Blues project. I left off looking through footage of Woodstock.
I had a potato with gravy and a heated up rib steak while watching season 2, episode 53 of Batman.
In this story, Professor of Egyptology William Omaha McElroy is discussing the upcoming semester with two potential students when all three of them get conked on the head by falling objects. McElroy has a condition that causes him upon experiencing head trauma, to believe that he is the reincarnation of King Tutankhamen or King Tut. The two students upon concussion believe they are Tut’s royal servants and henchmen. Tut makes his way to Gotham and that night steals a sarcophagus from the museum. The next day Commissioner Gordon calls Batman. While at Gordon’s office he learns that Fouad Sphinx the pantomimist has been attacked in his home by Tut. Tut’s hideout is in an abandoned nightclub called The Pyramid. He has gathered a much larger gang in a short time and one assumes they haven’t all been knocked on the head. There is usually one female but this time there are two. However neither of these are his queens as he has his heart set on socialite Lisa Carson who Bruce Wayne will be escorting to the Egyptian Ball where she will play the part of Cleopatra. Tut thinks she is the reincarnation of the historical Cleopatra. Meanwhile Batman and Robin are climbing up the side of the hotel where Fouad Sphinx lives. There is a cameo when society columnist Suzy Knickerbocker opens a window. She says she goes wherever there is glamour. She asks Batman where he got his darling costume. He tells her he believes in patronizing local craftsmen. Robin adds, “There’s a guy who makes great capes and cowls right here in Gotham”. That implies there is a Gotham craftsman who knows Batman’s identity. I’d never heard of Suzy Knickerbocker but it turns out it was the pen name of Aileen Mehle, who was active in journalism for fifty years and her column was read by 30 million. Batman and Robin find Sphinx with a noose around his neck, which the cops didn’t remove because Gordon said to leave everything as they found it. He says Tut left a note in his vest pocket. It’s a hieroglyphic scroll and Batman and Robin are about to leave to get the computer to translate it when Sphinx asks if he can be freed of the noose. The computer translates that Tut has come to claim his own. Batman suspects Tut will be at the Egyptian Ball and tells Gordon to have police there. Gordon says five of his men will be disguised in costume as guests. Tut has secretly sent a Tut costume to deputy mayor Zorty which he won’t resist wearing. That night at the ball when Zorty walks in the cops grab him and take him away to Gordon. Gordon apologizes and sends the men back to the ball. Bruce as Caesar arrives at the ball with Lisa Carson as Cleopatra. Lisa is placed on a throne. Tut arrives and approaches Lisa. Bruce and Dick recognize him. Dick says they’ll deal with him as if he’s Robin in front of his Aunt Harriet. Tut’s men approach Bruce and tell him they are the police. They say they recognize Tut and want to capture him but want him near the exit so it won’t disturb the guests. To achieve that he asks Bruce to get Lisa to dance with Tut. He does so but the men stage a kidnapping and take Lisa away before they can be stopped. But Batman had placed a tracking device on Lisa’s clothing and so the computer has told him where she is. Meanwhile at the Pyramid, Lisa refuses to be Tut’s queen so he has her sent to the dungeon until she changes her mind. Batman and Robin arrive and Batman tells Robin to wait by the door while he climbs to the roof. Two of Tut’s men open the door and it hits Robin, stunning him. He’s taken to Tut while Batman watches through the skylight. Batman attacks but Robin’s hands are tied behind his back and he can’t participate. Batman is knocked out by Tut and stuffed in a sarcophagus, which is placed in a pool and sinks. That’s the cliffhanger.
Lisa is played by Lee Meriwether who was Miss America of 1954 and the first one to be crowned on live television. After that she became a Today Girl on the Today Show. Her film debut was a co-starring role in 4-D Man. She played Catwoman and Kitka in the 1966 Batman film. She appeared as Agent Tracey in six episodes of Mission Impossible. She played Dr. Ann MacGregor on thirty episodes of Time Tunnel. She played Losira the beautiful killer alien in the Star Trek episode That Which Survives. She was a regular panelist on Match Game. She played Lily Munster on The Munsters Today. She co-starred in Angel in My Pocket, The Ultimate Gift, and Kitty. She played Betty Jones, the daughter in law and secretary of Barnaby Jones in 178 episodes of that series. She played Ruth Martin on All My Children until the series ended in 2011.
