Well, you've read the notes, the notes frittered away, and now it is time for you to post until the frittering cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SPRUCE!

Well, last night (Saturday), "A Bucket of Blood" had another good show! The audience wasn't as big as it was on opening night (there were only about 20 or so), but they still enjoyed it. For our two performances so far, we're doing well.

I've been going and doing. I picked up two packages, both of which contained a CD with the same music - a soundtrack we're issuing. These two issues seem very bogus to me - and there's a third that was released here in the States - I don't know from whom these were licensed but NONE of them are from the original album masters - they're all from either LP or a mono third or fourth generation tape and sound like crap. So, something I could have licensed years ago but didn't because of all these specious releases will, in fact, be getting the Kritzerland treatment - stereo for the first time on CD, from the original album masters - and with a bonus, too. I can't say what that is without giving away the title, but I can say the film from whence this score comes is one of the most beloved 60s films ever, and this CD will sell out instantly.

Yesterday at work, I listened to "The Molly Maguires" and thoroughly enjoyed both versions. I was working furiously to get my monthly bills report done, so I couldn't pay as much attention as I would've liked, but it was great. I also love the idea of having the original discarded score being available. I don't know if other record companies that re-release soundtracks do this, but I think it's wonderful that you do, BK.

I didn't get a chance to listen to "Invasion USA/Tormented," and I left it at work, so I won't be able to listen to it at all this weekend.

Buenos Aires

Don't Cry for Me Argentina

Everything's Alright

We will be spending the day on Staten Island with relatives of Anthony. We will most likely not make it home in time for Downton so we will watch it on line tomorrow.

The various PBS stations are now in fundraising mode and repeats of DA have been pushed back for 10 days.

Oatmeal, banana, dried cherries, cinnamon and coffee.

DR Jane we can take out dvds for three days. Or a week if they are documentaries or about real people like MONEYBALL. Although if nobody has reserved it we can renew it online.

I agree. I have enjoyed how different both Mancini's and Strouse's versions are.

I received an e-mail from Amazon.com telling me that as a Prime Member, I can borrow one book per month for my Kindle. I read over all the details and the fine print, but I must confess that this portion of the rules has me baffled.

The book currently being borrowed can be read on multiple Kindle devices, as long as they are registered to the same eligible account, but cannot be read on Kindle reading apps.

Which part did you not understand? If you have multiple kindles all registered to the same amazon account then you get all the books that account has. But some people read on kindle apps (like kindle for pc...). You cannot read the borrowed books on those.

Good morning, all! I slept late, and enjoyed every second of it. My last dream was peculiar: a tryout of a new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, on whichfor some reason I was working with my adopted son Joshie, who was painting large Chinese letters everywhere, and Sierra Boggess, whom I kept approaching about singing on a recording. I think Sir Andrew showed up once.

So, after that I figured being awake was better. I, too, would love an apple fritter.

Sunday.

Last week on SOUTHLAND they had a scene on a rooftop in LA. A block or so away was a building with EASTERN on all four sides of it....and a clock. The building looked to be from the 1930's or so.....but there was something on the very top that I could not identify?

Is this an LA landmark? And what is setting on top of it? Is it an airplane or something?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 19, 2012, 06:31:35 AM »

DR TCB I believe DR JENNIFER is correct. I have KINDLE for PC, but I do not have a actual Kindle device....so I would not be able to avail myself of this service.

JMK · « **Reply #19 on:** February 19, 2012, 06:59:39 AM »

The local natural foods emporium New Seasons has fritters that are to die for. They also have a surprisingly tasty VEGAN pecan sticky roll that I get quite often. It is non-VEGAN by the time I'm done with it (meaning I slather it in butter).

JMK · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2012, 06:59:55 AM »

I find the word VEGAN inherently humorous.

JMK · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2012, 07:03:38 AM »

BK may lead the way in emptying the world's bakeries of fritters, but I lead the way in people not reading my posts, including BK.

How else to explain his question in the notes as to whether the Christmas episode of DOWNTON ABBEY falls chronologically after the "end" of Season 2? (Hint: I've mentioned this several times. The short answer is: yes).

BK, prepare to laugh yourself silly on at least two occasions with Dame Maggie.

JMK · « **Reply #22 on:** February 19, 2012, 07:04:18 AM »

And the Christmas episode (2 hours) broadcasts tomorrow, for those that were asking--it was talked about in this morning's OREGONIAN, and let me tell you that talk was absolutely full of spoilers.

Laura · « **Reply #23 on:** February 19, 2012, 07:09:06 AM »

Oh, I read your posts, JMK. I just usually don't understand them.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 19, 2012, 07:09:23 AM »

I have enjoyed SEASON TWO of Downton Abbey.....which I downloaded and watched some time ago, including the Christmas episode.

I have enjoyed it much more than I enjoyed UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS just because the former series was SO cheap in production values....even by its contemporary standards.

And my favorite moment in BOTH seasons remains Maggie Smith's comment on having electricity inside the house:

Shading her eyes with her fan: "I feel as though I were onstage at the Gaiety."

JMK · « **Reply #25 on:** February 19, 2012, 07:10:14 AM »

My current guesses on the upcoming Kritzerland release involve these composers:

Michel Legrand
Manos Hadjidakis

Though I must say if it's one of those fine gentlemen, I'm a bit confused.

Oh....and tonight starts the new cycle of The Amazing Race. I say cycle instead of season because saying Season 20 seems to indicate that it has been on for 20 years......

Here are bios for the cast:

Not that it matters, but I really hate CBS putting some bores from Big Brother in with the other contestants, and I am hoping they are eliminated quickly.
