Well, dear readers, every other Tuesday at work a woman called Charles Chips shows up with many interesting candies and snacks. And everyone from our office goes out and gives her lots of money for said interesting candies and snacks. For example, yesterday I gave her money for Sour Gummi Fruit Salad. I don’t know what it is but it looked good. Someone else bought Dark Chocolate Pistachio Nuts, and someone else bought a bag of Teriyaki Beef Bits. I myself would never buy a bag of Teriyake Beef Bits, but I do not look askance at those who do. She has many other candies and chips and things and it is all very exciting and simply too too when Charles Chips arrives.
Tonight, after two postponements, is our Unseemly Live Chat. It will happen no matter what – and we will have a lively and sparkling chat and we will discuss many various and sundried topics and it will all be very exciting and simply too too. Be there or be round.
Yesterday, someone told me that they thought “plenty” of people didn’t read these here notes, that “plenty” of people simply skipped to the end and posted. I told them that I disagreed, that I thought maybe one or two (I could probably guess the names of the one or two because it becomes fairly obvious after awhile) at the most did such a thing, but no, they insisted that it was “plenty”. Now, is this true? Are there “plenty” of people who skip these here notes? You can say the truth because maybe I’ll just cut back on writing them. Of course, the other thing is the person who said that “plenty” of people were/are skipping the notes is wrong. Let’s have a poll – how many of you read the notes, how many of you skim the notes, and how many of you skip the notes in their entirety? You will not be bitch-slapped no matter what your answer. Well, maybe you’ll be bitch-slapped just a little, but in a friendly way with hot fudge on the top.
I finally finished watching Silk Stockings. I liked it just fine, but it never really “got” me. I do think Eugene Loring is a very unsung choreographer, and one scene was absolutely magical – the Silk Stockings ballet, performed by Cyd Charisse. The little documentary on the disc was fun, and I also watched the little documentary on the Les Girls disc.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because I must hie myself to the Oaks of Sherman to work all the livelong day, oh, yes, I shall work all the livelong day, with hot fudge on top, of course.
Last night we began work on our little Kritzerland CD. Grant is terribly busy right now so I don’t quite know how long it will take to complete it, but we are working on it and that at least is progress. We did a rather fun arrangement of High Hopes, along with Guess Things Happen That Way and Poor Little Fool. Grant will work on those, and then we’ve got two others to do and then voila, we shall have a little mini-CD.
I found it only slightly amusing that the one piece I have had nothing to do with here at work was sent to the network who sent it back with a ton of notes. When I’d first seen the initial cut I said as loudly as I could that it was not good and didn’t tell a story and I was precluded from doing what I normally would have done. Well, I hate to say it, but I was right and they should have listened because now they are about to do what I would have originally done. One thing I have learned – no matter what type of show, a story must be told.
Also, I’m now in my new office with my new roommate and it’s very pleasant actually. She’s not in there much, nor am I.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must work all the livelong day, I must eat luncheon but not dinner or dinner but not luncheon, I must try and get some sleep and I must try and watch a DVD. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Ask BK Day, the day in which you get to ask all your excellent questions. And, you can also Ask Dear Readers too, any old excellent questions you might have. Let’s have loads of lovely posts, shall we?
