WHAT A PIECE OF WORK WAS YESTERDAY

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, what a piece of work was yesterday. I spent the entire day in a state of agitation. In fact, I was molto agitato as composers are wont to say. For the third time this year our little corner of the Internet was down, but this time it was down for almost twenty-three hours. I was incensed about it, in addition to being molto agitato, and I must say I was somewhat abrasive with Mr. Mark Bakalor by about the tenth hour. Unfortunately, I am at the mercy of those who host and all I could do was sit idly by and wait for it to get fixed. I am promised that this will not happen again. Of course, I was sort of promised that before. But, I’m told that the new server we’ll be on has backup systems in place to deal with problems such as these. At the worst, if the site went down it would right itself in a matter of minutes. In any case, my state of agitation has abated and I am, as of this morning, no longer molto agitato and am, in fact, ready to greet the day with con brio.

How musical I am today. Perhaps I shall compose a concerto. Since I will be driving around, perhaps I shall compose a Concerto for Automobile and Voice in the key of G. I was going to compose it in Ab but who wants to have Ab when they’re driving? Not me. That would make me molto agitato instead of tranquilo.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because I want to give us all plenty of time for plenty of catching-up posts.

Have I mentioned that yesterday was a piece of work? Yes, what a piece of work was yesterday. But today will be a piece of work, too, but in a good way.

Don’t forget, tomorrow is our Unseemly Live Chat at six o’clock Pacific Mean Daylight Savings Time. Also, there will be a brand spanking new radio show up, and also there’s a new Juliana’s Journal that went up on Thursday night.

Last night, whilst trying to calm down from my state of molto agitato, I watched a compilation region 2 DVD of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore – sketches from some sixties TV series they had in the UK. Some of it was absolutely hilarious, most especially a spoof of those Gerry Anderson-type shows, like Thunderbirds Are Go or Supercar and a bit about leaping nuns.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must go hither and thither and also yon, I most compose my Concerto for Automobile and Voice in the key of G, and then perhaps I’ll compose my Concerto of Lavatory in three movements. We don’t allow groaning here at haineshisway.com. Today’s topic of discussion: Let’s continue yesterday’s topic, since very few of you had a chance to take part – so, what is currently in your CD player and your DVD/video player? Let’s have loads of lovely posts to make up for the day that was a piece of work, shall we?
