Well, dear readers, I have breaking bombshell news for you – today is Sunday, sweet Sunday, my one day with you. Actually, I’m with you every day, aren’t I? So, it’s not really my one day with you, it’s just my Sunday with you, a fun day but not a gun day, maybe a hot dog bun day, or it could be a nun day, or a pun day, or a good day to run day, or an I weigh a ton day. And here I sit, like so much fish, after accomplishing quite a few things yesterday. Yes, the notes are going up a bit late because I was watching a few amusing dogs doing funny things videos on the Tube of You. So, here’s the news of the yesterday as I remember it. I got proofer number two’s second set of fixes and spent three hours in the evening entering most of them – he found a few whoppers. So, all I’m waiting on now is the photo section, then I can get it all to the designers. I also spent quite a bit of time writing the first set of liner notes – they ended up being quite long and quite personal, the kind of liner notes I like. That leaves one more set to do and I’ll do them today for sure. I got almost eight hours of sleep, answered e-mails, ordered a chicken Caesar salad from Stanley’s, ate it all up when it arrived twenty minutes later, watched about forty minutes of that Franz Schreker opera that was linked in the posts yesterday. I’m enjoying it musically, but the production is a bit, well, annoying. But I’d never even heard of this opera, so it’s fun to hear some Schreker music I didn’t know. Since there are only bootleg CDs of dubious sound quality for this opera, I grabbed the audio, since the sound on this production is excellent. That was really about it for yesterday. I mean, I did sit on my couch like so much fish a few times to rest my sore butt cheeks from sitting in this damn chair for hours. I did do that. I never left the home environment. I really do need to get outside for a few minutes at least. Well, let’s move this along, shall we?
Today, I’ll be up when I’m up, I’ll do the second set of liner notes, I’ll probably make some Wacky Noodles or something resembling them, or maybe some spaghetti with pink sauce. We’ll see how I’m feeling. Once the liner notes are finished, then I can have me a proper ME day and just lounge about, watch the rest of the opera, perhaps watch a motion picture, I may do the dance of the seven veils or the six-veil polka, who knows WHAT the HELL I’ll do. I’ll do something. I may even step outdoors and take the air and visit the day. I’ll play it by ear or I may, for a change of pace, play it by nose.
Tomorrow, it’s back to writing on the project with David Wechter. The rest of the week will be getting the new book to the designers for their expert designing using my expert guide, I’ll pray for some kind of modern major miracle, I’ll probably have at least one meeting and meal and several telephonic conversations. And I’ll do whatever needs doing as it needs doing.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, be up when I’m up, write the second set of liner notes, make some kind of pasta thing here, have a semi-ME day, and watch, listen, and relax. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s free-for-all day, the day in which you dear readers get to make with the topics and we all get to post about them. So, let’s have loads of lovely topics and loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, happy that it’s Sunday, sweet Sunday, my fun day with you.
