Well, you've read the damn notes, the damn notes went their own damn way, and now it is time for you to post until the damn cows come home.

And the word of the day is: OBJURGATION!

One of my favorite Claude Lelouch films is Les uns et les autres. It played for over three years in Montreal without the exception for two weeks each year as the cinema was used for the Montreal International Film Festivale.
I believe it was cut for its American release and renamed Bolero. (It was over three hours in the French version) My guess is that the Bolero was used for two reasons 1) It became popular because of Blake Edward's 10 releasse a year before. 2) The Bolero is also used a the finale of the film in a ballet. Other than that if memory serves the Bolero has no other connecton to the film
It was also filmed as a 5 part mini series

And of course Good Morning to All
All sort of vibes for those that need them
-
Good morning, all! It's very quiet in the hotel thius moirning. I suspect one reasson is that it's Sunday and the other is that it's the day after the big French-Irish game - the Irish lost - but I gather from the staggering waiter in the elevator it was a big party night. I was up until 11 finishing my new dialogue guides, which I hope work and which I hope Joe picked up on his way home.
Yesterday's and today's band rehearsals are in Monkstown, which is on the Irish Sea; it cost 13.50 euros to gewt there yesterday by taxi, and today I will ride out with Judy, our producer who's just landed in Dublin and on her way to the hotel. The orchestra played really well, and my worries about work not being finished were unfounded. We found several wrong notes, some I missed, some the copyists missed, and some Victor Herbert's. I got lots of compliments on the beautiful music prep, so I will pass that on to the whole team when I return. The soloists were fine - although my wonderful soprano Lynda is concerned about her dialogue - and they have a day off. Our young tenor Dean, who's come back from Munich, is in today since he took Friday and Saturday off to see family. So, it will be he and the chorus today. He's good so I susapect he will be finished and out in no time at all.
The first cello and harpist are nephew and niece of the late Irish tenor Frank Patterson, with whom I worked on 4-5 of his Radio City St Patrick's Day events, so it wasa a pleasure to meet them. I still get ASCAP royalties on Frank's recording of 'America the Beautiful.'
So, I have to go and check my itenerary and see when I depart before I set up any meetings I cannot make.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
I'm eating my oatmeal on the patio. It's a beautiful Sunday morning. Bryn Terfl is singing I Have Loved from The King and I. The house is asleep, except for me. I'm listening to Beverley Humphreys and I'll read the New York Times when I leave here.
I will return to the city this evening. Anthony has some business on Long Island so he will be here for a few more days.
Bye for now.

Travel vibes to Ben
More of the vibes that have been working so far for Larry

Sounds like DR ELMORE is having a wonderful time.....

Actually, is the DON'T DRINK THE WATER theme song being used? It's a wonderful number.

Thanks DR JMK.
DR FJL - I am not the director.....or it would be....although I have only heard the television movie theme.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I may do one more load of laundry this morning.

NY1 Onstage has a report on the Splash Musical Mondays which Jose sometimes talks of here - if this was posted before, here it is again.

Otherwise...
It's another two-show Sunday followed by an overnight bus trip back up to NYC.
I don't have much to do in NYC tomorrow, however, since I might not be able to make it back up until the second or third week of September, well... I was hoping to head back up next Monday for my "birthday Monday" as it were, but it looks like we'll be having another full day of rehearsal next Tuesday (we have a new member of the woman's ensemble going in that night), so... But, as always... We'll see.

FOLLIES to Receive New Double Cast Recording? (http://broadwayworld.com/article/FOLLIES-to-Receive-New-Double-Cast-Recording-20110821)

bk - You can also buy "RFID Blocking Sleeves". -They're one of those "As Seen On TV" products, or you can buy them at Walgreen's and other stores.
Here's one brand that also sells various other RIFD Blocking accessories: Identity Stronghold (http://www.idstronghold.com/default.asp)

BK,
Don't waste your energy with Wal-Mart.
They don't care. They will just eat the $240.00 (or whatever it is), because I'm sure they do it all the time. It's not a big deal for them...and the manager knows that.
The police don't really care either. They have worse bad guys to catch.
Just put in the claim to your credit card, the money will be refunded and then you can concentrate on more important matters...like writing and stuff.
I know it's s**t, but that is the way of the world.
-
And speaking of two shows and a bus trip, I have a couple of things to take care of before heading to the theatre, so...
Laters...

Rehearsal with orchestra and chorus is over, Judy has arrived safely and in three more hours we will meet for dinner. I may take a nap for a bit.
I am indeed having a great time, and I'm already sad to be leaving my new friends. Joe andf Jonathan are great guys and they've been super hosts. David Brophy, who works his butt off at too many jobs, is a wonderful conductor and I really think hye's special. His wife is our piccolo player, and I like them both very much. We've now played through every note of the score except for the little string dance that finishes the original opening of Act Two, and I'm anticipating no problems. I may compare the full score with the vocal score to ensuire that all is well.
Recording commences at 3pm tomorrow, which is 10am in Manhattan. Keep them good vibes coming!
BK, good luck with this Walmart mess.

Additionally...
Since Wal-Mart's computers are a Nationwide system, there's really no "need" to talk to the local manager. If you have a transaction number - or at least the time, amount and location (store number), you should be able to deal with their National customer service line.
If your credit card company has already credited back your money, well, that's all you really need to concern yourself with. Wal-Mart was not the criminal here, and even though they offered to help find the actual criminal(s), well... They probably won't take action until others report the same issue happening to them at the same store.
If you do want something officially on record, file a report with that Wal-Mart's local Better Business Bureau and/or Bureau of Consumer Protection. That will provide more focus on the BIGGER problem. and may be more helpful in tracking down the perps if there's some sort of "ring" going on.

Oh...
OK...

Hi, I'm up, I have a killer headache right now and am not feeling the best. I made some pancakes this morning and my stomach feels ok, but I'm not so hot. Think I'll try a little gatorade, maybe I just need to replenish
-
I do need to get to the office for a little while today and should do the laundry. Hopefully I can get those things accomplished
-
Nice Sunday weather here.
-
I'm up - I didn't get to bed until two but at least I slept eight and a half hours.
-
I have churned out two reviews this mornng which leaves me in good stead to actually enjoy our mini-vacation, though I still need to write up synopses of all the Coen Brothers films, which shouldn't be too hard. We have my wonderful Carmen Ghia from THE PRODUCERS housesitting for us again.
-
It is all set.
I am going to be joining BK on October 1-2 in Chicago at the Hollywood Celebrities & Memorabilia Show.
It's Ray Courts' last show and it should be fun.
-
Glad to hear it!
-
Sunday afternoon greetings! We are back from Lima, where Fr. Richard preached an excellent sermon to a very small congregation.
-
Slow news day.
-
The first law suit in connection with the stage collapse at the State Fair was filed on Friday - six days after the event.
-
Hello, everyone.
Since I knew BK in his teen years I can confirm that he has ALWAYS gone his own damn way. I would have phrased it differently, though. The way I thought about it then was that he knew EXACTLY what he wanted to do with his life, at an age when few knew, and he was already actively pursuing it. I also thought him very brave to be willing to be such a maverick.
-
Bruce, I agree with both Druxy and Jose: don't waste your energy. I know how infuriating it is, but both WalMart and the police have bigger fish to fry. Stay on top of the PayPal part of it, as I know you will, provide the details to WalMart and the police, then walk away.
I cannot speak for the Colorado WalMart, but the one where I shopped in Florida was staffed with seniors, who were on their feet all day (murder!), and many of whom seemed to have had a limited education. Nice people, trying their best, but with limited resources.
-
Glad to hear it!
Me, too, even though I won't be there.

I have been shopping for a CD to put me to sleep--literally. I need to drown out my noisy neighbors. Gregorian chants? Nature sounds? (NO thunder clap, please! And NO crickets!) Zen relaxation music? Anything that sounds like actual music would be too stimulating, I think. However, I should try Pachelbel's Canon, which I have here, but haven't used for this purpose.
Anyone have any ideas?

That's enough of me for now.
TT.

Good Evening!

DR JEANNE if you have Dollar Tree in your area.....they have a LOT of CD's for just this purpose......Restful Memories.....Dream Time.....titles like that.....they are very nice......

This one is my favorite.....but don't pay $9!!! Go to the Dollar Tree.

Oh!
Chicken Pot Pie!
YUM!!!

Thanks for all the good advice. I'm not calling back and they can just eat whatever they lost. So far, paypal has not re-debited my account for these charges, so maybe they were able to do whatever they needed to do to stop those two authorizations from finalizing.

Back from the four-mile jog and will soon have something light but amusing to eat.

This might do the trick. A parody of Babs' recording of WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND :)

Do you have a SmartPhone/iPhone/etc.? If so, there are a bunch of apps that are geared towards helping someone get to sleep. They can monitor your sleep patterns, and some even play music and sounds. Otherwise...
A friend of mine swears by turning on his TV to a "dead/white" channel - static. He turns the volume down to a sensible level, then throws a sheet over the tv screen or turns the brightness all the way down. The white noise helps him get to sleep. -And if the TV has a timer, all the better.

"Cream" is apparently not alcohol flavored whipped cream, but rather alcohol-infused whipped cream!

Thanks to JRand, Fred, and Jose for their suggestions. Jack, there is a Dollar Tree in my area and I shop there, but have never seen CDs. Perhaps your store is larger than mine? I shall look again; maybe I just walked right by and missed them. (I'm good at that.)
Jose, I have a dumb phone. On warm evenings I often put on the fan, which drowns out much of the noise. But I don't like even the noise of the fan when I'm sleeping. I am soooo high-maintenance!
Fred, I got a good laugh at the parody and it did NOT put me to sleep!
I shall see what my old friend Pachelbel does for me on the next noisy evening. I shall also look for Jrand's fave.
-
Off to get a bite to eat.
Cheerio!

DR Jeanne - A while(!) back, I learned that I cannot fall asleep to music since my musician's mind kicks in and starts actively listening to it. There were many times when I would put on an act/disc of an opera, and 50-68 minutes later, I would find myself listening to the finale of the act. Silence, street noise and darkness are what "lull" me to sleep.
*Or I have a cup of (regular) coffee about an hour before I want to sleep and let the caffeine drop do the rest.

I thought "Cream" was a band?

And with an hour until tonight's curtain, I believe I shall take a cat-nap.

Yes, I think that would happen to me, too. I'd be listening to the music, not sleeping. Silence doesn't seem to be an option here.

DR JEANNE in my store the CD's are in the aisle with the light bulbs, paint brushes, and dog leashes.
If you can't find them, let me know, and I can pick you up a couple this week.

Now I'm really going.

Listened to House of Flowers, Evening Primrose, and Scent of Mystery this weekend. :)

Trying hard to like the king of surf guitar, Dick Dale, as he is playing down the street next weekend, but the best of cd is just not doing it for me.
Probably will see the show anyway. 2 days, 25 bands, 5.00 cover charge each day. 2 blocks away.

The title of today's topic reminded me of the Howard Dietz lyrics
I'll go my way by myself, this is the end of romance.
I'll go my way by myself, love is only a dance.
I'll try to apply myself and teach my heart to sing.
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing,
I'll face the unknown, i'll build a world of my own;
No one knows better than i, myself, i'm by myself alone.
I'll go my way by myself, here's how the comedy ends.
I'll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends.
Grey clouds in sky above have put a blot on my fun.
I'll try to fly high above for a place in the sun.
I'll face the unknown, i'll build a world of my own;
No one knows better than i, myself, i'm by myself alone.

Someone asked me to see a friends band last night. Local venue, so we saw the band, 13 (think mosh pit, be careful not to get knocked over) but the guitarists were really good. Then the band he wanted to see came on , Pornstars and Prostitutes. Next to me was some girl yelling "if you're over 30 go home" , all I wanted to say was that I'm almost 60 and having a better time than she was. I gave her girl friend a dirty look and 2 boys came and helped take her away. Guess my look held some power.
Oh to be young again. NOT.
If you flashed the band, they gave you a drum stick with all band members autographs.
-
I did have a good time. Then we went to the Watermark, the local hangout for all the beautiful people. Just to do a walk through, that was even more fun.
We are not part of the beautiful people scene, but people watching is the best.
Total evening for 2, 20.00. And a great time. ;D
-
Back to the daily maintance stuff.
Vibes and happiness to everyone.
:)
-
I think maybe I'm finally feeling better. Sheesh! Luckily there was nothing that had to be done today. I do have many things to do tomorrow, so I'm hoping whatever this is has passed

Page 3???? can we possibly only be on page 3??

I guess that means I should type some thing

My nephew Andy posted it on his FB or I wouldn't have heard either. I think it's even cooler he hasn't made a big deal out of it. Since schools started there last week my guess is that it's already happened. I haven't talked to Jon in awhile, I'm anxious to hear about it from him

The funny thing is that my brother in law looks like Barry Manilow - well they used to look alike. What are the odds that Barry Manilow would be the one to come through in the town where he lives!

DR Cillaliz, glad you're feeling a bit better. Are you still watching Big Brother? I liked tonight's show!

My niece was so happy yesterday. She learned how to dive.
For some odd reason they don't teach it in swimming lessons until a very high level (where the kids would be 8+). So even though she is in a high level of classes. They did not teach her this whole summer.
Anyhow we were at the pool yesterday and i asked her if she wanted to practice (she did). So i asked the lifeguard on the chair what i should do since i was not sure whether to hold her knees, her legs or what.
She told me the diving coach was sitting doing nothing. So he came and showed my niece for like 20 minutes. Just one on one. It was really good. And by the end she could dive. She was so proud of herself. It was great. And at least i didn't accidently teach her the wrong way (even the life guard on the chair was not sure exactly how to do it).
-
DR Jennifer, I liked tonight's BB show too.

And thanks, I'm not very good at being sick. I usually push it and think I have too much to do, so I'm glad if it had to happen it was on a weekend

Here's the whole video that I'm assuming was shown at the Joplin schools. The first part is alumni, the second part is celebrities, including the Barry Manilow statement

I'm still amazed they started school on time. The tornado was just May 22. We'll be spending Thanksgiving there this year

BIG BROTHER DISCUSSION from tonight's show
(not that i think anyone else here watches)
DR Jennifer, I liked tonight's BB show too.
Who do you like/dislike? I never liked Dani before. But i was sort of okay with her until she flipped on the veterans. Now i don't care for her. Don't care for Kalia. Don't care for Porsche. I like Jeff, jordan and rachel. And adam is okay. Not liking shelly. She is bugging the crap out of me. I am dying to see how the veto plays out (well i know who won, but i want to see how it happened).
-
Perhaps everyone has gone their own damn way

School here doesn't start till august 31st. At least then is when my niece starts.
-

I was pretty happy about that. It was what i wanted to happen. But i didn't want to ask him. So i just asked him how i should help her. And he offered.
Afterwards she told me she loved diving.
It's interesting here because there are 3 levels that her friends are in for swimming (green, red and blue). My niece was in green in the Spring. She moved to red at the beginning of the summer and then blue in the middle of the summer. One of her good friends who is in red (which is lower than her) already knew how to dive. And she would always dive in front of my niece. So i think she felt bad (my niece) that she couldn't do it).
So yesterday they were diving together. It was so cute!

I like Jeff and Jordan. Don't like Rachael. I kind of like Dani more than I used to. I actually like Shelly most of the time. I guess I see Porshe, Kalia and Adam as just sort of floating...of the three I like Adam the best. I don't read spoilers or watch online. I don't watch all the tv episodes either. But it isn't hard to keep up without watching all the time
-
It rained off and on all day today. So no swimming.
-
Although i did go to the international day, where they give food from a variety of countries.
-
It was supposed to be from noon-4pm. But at 1:15pm there was nothing going on. And they said they were only giving the food at 3pm.
-
A lot of schools around her started Aug 18 or 19, I thought it was early, but it is what it is. I think Joplin started on the 19th not sure
-
Of course when i arrived back at 2:45pm they had already started giving the food.
Because it was nice and they didn't want it to rain.
I guess that makes sense. But you shouldn't tell people one time and then switch it.
-
At least when i got there there were no lines. Although i don't think i got all the food on the Greek plate (my fav). Usually they have spinach pie.
At least my plate had a bunch of souvlaki, pita and sauce.
-
And it was free.

BK - you are smart to just drop the WalMart thing. They won't do their own investigation. Unless they actually catch someone in the act, it's cheaper for them to just let it go. Now, if you report it to the police and the police have any interest in following up, then they will cooperate. I'd just make sure you aren't charged for it and let it go

Out of curiousity, did you have one of the new credit cards that you dont' have to swipe? I just got one of those in the mail. It isn't an account I use often, so I'm tempted to leave it at home

DR JEANNE in my store the CD's are in the aisle with the light bulbs, paint brushes, and dog leashes.
If you can't find them, let me know, and I can pick you up a couple this week.
Oh, thanks. I'll try to stop by this week. Do you go to your Dollar Tree often?
I go a couple of times a week....so it will be no problem.

I pretty much go my own damn way......I don't mind going someone else's way if it doesn't matter.....but if it does matter......I go my own damn way.

BIG BROTHER SPOILERS FROM TONIGHT
BB SPOILERS>>>>>>>IF ANYONE IS WATCHING
I like Jeff and Jordan. Don't like Rachael. I kind of like Dani more than I used to. I actually like Shelly most of the time. I guess I see Porshe, Kalia and Adam as just sort of floating...of the three I like Adam the best. I don't read spoilers or watch online. I don't watch all the tv episodes either. But it isn't hard to keep up without watching all the time
I don't have the live feeds. But i do read hamsterwatch.com and follow her on facebook. So i can read what is going on. I like to know what is happening when it happens. I think Dani is a great competitor. So i like her for that. I just find her so gloaty when she wins. It annoys me. I thought Shelly was playing a very good game at the beginning. But she hasn't won anything. And she seems so mean. Something they didn't show was she stole rachel's stuffed animal from Brendan and hid it and never gave it back to her. I just find that so childish. Because she is a stuffed toy from her daughter. And you know if someone took it she would go crazy. I can't stand all her badmouthing.
I am amazed that Jordan is still there and she doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar. Even though everyone likes her and she has already won. I wouldn't mind if she won again.
-
It is all set.
I am going to be joining BK on October 1-2 in Chicago at the Hollywood Celebrities & Memorabilia Show.
It's Ray Courts' last show and it should be fun.
If October is Ray Courts' last show, why does the website list two more in 2012 and two in 2013?
-
I am enjoying the Cary Grant movies on TCM today.
-
This one is my favorite.....but don't pay $9!!! Go to the Dollar Tree.

Oh Lord, all those heartbeats would leave me dreaming about THE TELL-TALE HEART.
-
Trying hard to like the king of surf guitar, Dick Dale, as he is playing down the street next weekend, but the best of cd is just not doing it for me.
Probably will see the show anyway. 2 days, 25 bands, 5.00 cover charge each day. 2 blocks away.

Couldn't you save your $5.00 and just open your windows?

BIG BROTHER DISCUSSION from tonight's show
(not that i think anyone else here watches)
DR Jennifer, I liked tonight's BB show too.
Who do you like/dislike? I never liked Dani before. But i was sort of okay with her until she flipped on the veterans. Now i don't care for her. Don't care for Kalia. Don't care for Porsche. I like Jeff, jordan and rachel. And adam is okay. Not liking shelly. She is bugging the crap out of me. I am dying to see how the veto plays out (well i know who won, but i want to see how it happened).
Doesn't MBarnum watch that show?

Got to keep this going.

I need to think up something controversial to post, so we can get the count up for the day!
-
Has anyone else seen the new tour of LE MIZ? My friends, who have seen the show about ten times, went last night; and they weren't sure they liked it as well as the other versions.
-
One more post.

Page Five!

Sorry, I am done for the evening. I am not feeling very well.

G'night!

FEEL BETTER VIBES TO TCB~~~~~
-
I am watching a dateline and one of the attorneys in the show once yelled for me to marry him in the courthouse. I wasn't interested and we hadn't even dated, but it was quite romantic
-
DR TCB the heartbeats on the CD are subliminal.......

I'll take romance any day!

If it's one of those predator shows, better an attorney than a perp. ;)

We were shocked to get to the coast and find it completely socked in with light rain. Forecast said sunny and warm and when we left Portland is was in the 90s. Usually it's not such a drastic difference.

BK, our housesitter just got back from a weekend confab with your close personal friend Karen Morrow. He's trying to put together a cabaret act and I of course suggested you as a mentor, shaper and director.

I was going to send him an email, but can't find an address any where on the net. I may give him a call just to say hello. I know he's married and has kids and I'm still not interested, but it would be fun to say hi

Well being a weatherman is one of the jobs that you can be wrong a lot and never be afraid of losing your job

The funny thing is I was just thinking about that the other day. It was a terribly romantic gesture and one I'll never forget. I just wasn't in a place emotionally or otherwise to stop the move back to Iowa. I wouldn't have anyway, but sometimes I wonder what would have happened.

Just droppping by tosend my Vibes for one and all

-
Cilla - nice memory! Thanks for sharing!
-
So Sam, how many drumsticks do YOU have?
;D
-
good night all
-
I should try to get some sleep. The short nap I took and the light dinner I ate and the aleve I took all seem to have done the trick. I'm glad. Way too much to do at the office.
-
It's good to have the work, but not good to feel ill
-
I'm glad you are feeling better, Cillaliz.
And I am jealous of all the rain some of you are getting.
-
Oh, I'm not getting rain. It goes north of us and south of us...we had a tiny bit the other day, but none since
-
I really should get some sleep. Night all

Well, I hope it's not the ASSES who took over the Burbank show.

JMK, love Karen Morrow.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Well, the paypal charges did go through - and now I am REALLY furious with Walmart because they could have stopped that from happening. What I'll do about that I don't know yet. Meanwhile, I guess I'll have to call paypal first thing in the morning so I can start the process of getting my damn money back. It's absolutely infuriating.

le CAMELOT est mort. :'(
Closing night was our best performance.....and we had wonderful audience response....which was nice.
All struck and put away.....and now Don't Drink the Water can have the theatre! ;D
Congrats Jack and on to the next show! :D

FOLLIES to Receive New Double Cast Recording? (http://broadwayworld.com/article/FOLLIES-to-Receive-New-Double-Cast-Recording-20110821)
Cool! What's funny about the article is that's it's two pages (screens). The first page has a lot of information but the only thing on the second page is "No official announcement has yet been made."
;)

Today, we celebrated my dad's birthday. His actual birthday was yesterday. We had a barbecue and my sister made a chocolate cake with white frosting and cherry jam topping. It was very good! We played Phase 10 and I lost...per usual.
-
I have been shopping for a CD to put me to sleep--literally. I need to drown out my noisy neighbors. Gregorian chants? Nature sounds? (NO thunder clap, please! And NO crickets!) Zen relaxation music? Anything that sounds like actual music would be too stimulating, I think. However, I should try Pachelbel's Canon, which I have here, but haven't used for this purpose.
Anyone have any ideas?
What helps me to get to sleep is only getting five hours of sleep the night before. ;)
When I take a nap, I like to have a little noise but nothing that I want to pay attention to. If I listen to music, I'll pay attention, so that's out. What helps me is to have the TV on something like a Spanish channel because I know that I can't understand it, so I won't try to pay attention to it.

WOW this is way cool, Barry Manilow is sending a semi truck of brand new band instruments to Joplin. The guy he mentions at Joplin High is the band director and a good friend of jhvw
That is pretty cool!
