Title: 60%
Post by: bk on September 27, 2017, 12:10:04 AM
Well, you've read the notes, hopefully the 60% will actually be accurate by morning since it didn't go up as I thought it would, and now it is time for you to post until the 60% cows come home.

Today is my sister's birthday.  We're all meeting at her house to celebrate.  I was asked to bring some diet Pepsi and Dr. Pepper, and get a couple of veggie pizzas at Brewery City Pizza (http://www.brewerycity.com).  My mom will be getting a couple of Costco pizzas.

New film music perks up - two more signed Elmer Bernstein sheet music and the full score to the Main Title and opening cue of Hammer's The Hound of the Baskervilles by the amazing James Bernard.  I recorded this piece for my Sherlock Holmes CD and became friendly with him and he loved the recording.  He signed the score to me and obviously it's one of kind.

In the morning I'm going to put up about four pages (separately) of the Xeroxed Children Will Listen, a Xerox Sondheim made hand corrections on in red.  These are fantastic - had them for years and of course am keeping a few pages for my own self, but I think they will go very quickly.

Oh goodness I would like one of those, Into the Woods is one of my favorite shows (Elmore and I deeply disagree on this one!) wonder if I will be able to take sneaky peeks at my phone during the day

The person leading the discussion picks the book.  Suggestions are welcome.  This month I did MAJOR PETTIGREW'S LAST STAND.  I needed to decide within 2 minutes so went with a book I would enjoy reading again.  The discussion was a good one, and different from the discussion with my previous book group.

After you read Cabin 10 I almost put a hold on it at my library.  I wish I had because I doubt it will be available in time and I shall have to purchase it.  There are a lot of holds on this book and even more at my Ashland library.

61% - we need a little action today.  Don't know whether we can get to seventy, but that would be really great.  The Sondheim stuff is weird but interesting - Xerox pages of Children Will Listen (some kind of version created in 1993) - the Xerox is in his hand, which is fun, but the real fun are his corrections and notations in red, all original, all in hand - those range from him writing in actual notes, to comments, to deletions and additions.  I have four of these and will put them up at some point today.

BK is actually occupied with a dead car battery - waiting for AAA.  Still under warranty, I believe, but the other times this has happened they keep telling me the battery is fine and that something in the car itself is causing the drain.  The past two times it's happened after the charge it's fine for six or eight months - don't get it really but there is literally no battery juice left at the moment.

After my two last unsuccessful attempts to get to Fifth Avenue below 57th Street, I hope this morning is the charmer.  When I return from my podiatrist, I will spend the day getting this emptied CD shelf out of my apartment and cleaning up the area before I move a filing cabinet.
I could use three things to accomplish this: a dolly, a sherpa, vibes.

Well, this is pretty cool.  Here's a barbershop quartet called The Newfangled Four in competition singing the Sherman Brothers' Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BH2CqE5mNQ)! ;D

That was fun!

Had dinner tonight with Jay Handelman, the drama critic and now Arts Editor at the paper here in Sarasota. Jay was the one who gave me A Broadway Christmas way back in the day, which led me to reconnecting with Larry, which led me here.

Nice.

New battery - I suspect the other two times this happened it probably should have been replaced right then - at least the last time.  Suddenly everything is working better now.  Nice guy who was looking at the books in the garage - told me he read thirty books a year, which I told him was a great thing.  Later I think he gave me enough of a hint to know he was probably in jail at some point and read and exercised, as he put it.  But I'm for anyone turning their life around.  I gave him a copy of Thrill Ride and he asked me to sign it for him, which I happily did.  So, maybe the new battery will give some needed juice to this lifeless day.

I have literally spent the entire day doing fixes for the Levi script.  The first time through I did a little trim here and there, added a couple of lines in a scene, and fixed all the wrong lyrics and as many typos as I could find.  I saved that as a PDF and went through it finding 100 MORE typos.  And so it went, every single time - so frustrating.

Someone just told me they're going to grab one of the Sondheim music pages - that with the one that remains uncredited, should put us just over 8K - in two days.  Gotta keep the momentum, though :)  I've been saving some of the original art, including a concept painting from The Great Race that's very cool.  Push the button, Max.  Not sure if I'll add that yet or not - requires serious thought.

Nope.  I was at my sister's, celebrating her birthday.  Then I came home and watched a couple of shows recorded on my DVR, and I realized that my tablet battery was dead, so I couldn't log on right away. :P

BK is actually occupied with a dead car battery - waiting for AAA.  Still under warranty, I believe, but the other times this has happened they keep telling me the battery is fine and that something in the car itself is causing the drain.  The past two times it's happened after the charge it's fine for six or eight months - don't get it really but there is literally no battery juice left at the moment.

If it's still under warrenty, I wonder why they just wouldn't give you a new one. :-\
