Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a nightmare, sketched, and had drama, and now it is time for you to post until the nightmarish cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: LINGUAPHILE!
-
Finally posting after BK!
;)
-
Time for bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
good morning to everyone
-
Good morning, all!
-
DR Laura, more Leonard photos, please!
-
I am home for the remainder of the week, so I plan to finish How to Succeed . . . and this number "The Modiste," that I brought home from City Center.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I want more sleep, with or without dreams.
-
Listening to Schmidt and Jones:Hidden Treasures. Selections from Philemon right now.
-
Got to get ready for work
-
T.O.D.
I don't dream much any more, and the very few dreams I do have, I don't remember.
-
T.O.D.
On the other hand, I could say: "I see dead people."
But, that would freak everybody out.
-
Good morning! Leaving soon for Penn Station for my train back to DC.
-
I'm remembering fewer dreams these days, but I do find that I'm dreaming more about people who are no longer living: a few friends, but mostly my parents, uncles, and aunts.
-
Good morning, all.

I don't know what to identify as my favorite kinds of dreams. If they're really good ones, then it's a disappointment to wake up from them. I guess I most like (and never fail to be awed at) the ones in which I create such an amazing alternate reality (practically an alternate universe), that I'd love to have continued exploring it.
Scariest dreams? Obviously, an actual nightmare -- and I had one the other night, first one in a while. It was just some generic "being chased or hunted or trapped by a bad person" kind of thing. But I'd define the scariest as something that's really sad or horrible that relates to real life, that I am VERY happy to wake up from. Fortunately, there have not been too many of those.
-
As far as worst type of nightmare ... never mind the monsters or boogeymen. It's those musical ones in which you're caught completely unprepared for something, or you find yourself in a situation you're totally unsuited for. A few times this "unpreparedness" dream has taken the form of something that isn't musical at all. But more often than not, it is.

Criterion's own 24-hour flash sale is rumored to be starting at noon today.

My scariest dreams take place in the house of Goldman Avenue where I spent most of the first 30 years of my life or at my maternal Grandmother's house on Tenth Avenue where I lived with my parents until I was about four years old. Both houses were haunted, and my nightmares usually about the back door that never stayed locked and was heard to open and close during the day, the footsteps that walked across the ceiling nightly between 2:30 and 5:30AM, rooms with lights flickering on and off. Whenever a dream occurs in either house, I usually wake before the dream gets too terrifying, and then it takes frever to calm down and get back to sleep.

Favorite dreams? I used to have some erotic ones that were doozies!

No Drama Vibes for MR BK & Co.

Dreams......

TOD:
Sometimes if I'm missing something really important or valuable, I'll dream that I found it. It would be nice if those dreams were premonitions of the future, but more often than not, I never find the thing I dreamed about, which is very disappointing.
If I've been eating a lot of sweets and I've gotten really addicted to sugar, I'll have dreams at night that I'm eating chocolate. I like those dreams, but going through withdrawal is hell.
Since I took dance classes and performed in recitals for much of childhood, I used to have dreams that I was out front on stage and couldn't remember any of the steps. I also dreamed the night before my wedding that I was in a dance class and I had forgotten all about the wedding and now I had like 30 minutes to get to the venue, get dressed and fix my hair, which was not possible.
Now that I groom dogs on the weekends, I have dreams that my house is full of dogs I haven't groomed yet, and the owners are on their way over to pick them up. Or I dream that I wake up in the morning and find someone's dog in a crate and I forgot all about them.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! The sun is finally out here in SW Ohio, but it's pretty cold. Beautiful fall day...
-
TOD - Librarian dream: it's closing time and people won't leave the building. This was a topic of robust conversation on a librarian Facebook group not long ago. I thought it was just me - and it doesn't stop once you retire ::)

Hello from Amtrak Train 95!

I've never had that kind of a dream, or like "The Actor's Nightmare." Well, if I had, I didn't remember it. I rarely remember dreams, let alone remember that I had any. :-\
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.
-
And some VERY weird dreams.
-
Page two? Really?
-
A slow news day on HHW.
-
I have the recurring dream of taking a test ina class I skipped for more than a month (based on my boring college geography class).
-
I love being able to walk 1,000 feet or so at work and getting a flu shot.
-
Lately I’ve been dreaming about this new dance technique, maybe I am attempt to process all of this information.
-

I used to be able to walk down two flights of stairs and do that.

Back from chicken tenders and a side Caesar salad and picking up one package. On the phone waiting for a senior tech from Apple to hopefully solve this mail problem.

Very convenient

We did a few things but it's definitely the computer that's the problem - the mac mail on the computer. The 300 unread e-mails showing on the iPhone match up with aol.com's cloud - so when I'm reading e-mails on the computer, they are not synching with aol and the phone to show as read. So, I'm keeping my eye on things for the next two days. But I think if it doesn't fix itself the plan will be, at least MY plan, to nuke the main AOL account out of mac mail for good and I'll just see it on the phone and on aol.com. And I'll start phasing it out and getting people to use my gmail account.

I dreamed we were on page 5.
-
But it's page 2.
-
What is this page two malarkey?
-
Listening to music. Have replaced the cast member and will meet our new gal this evening - and hoping she'll be fine. The other drama we've decided to deal with after rehearsal this evening.
-
So much drama!
-
Whoa Nelly!
Page 1.5 at 10:15 pm on the right coast?

::)
-
I've been busier than usual here at work, and now I'm leaving.
Be back later.
-
Well, it's still in the 40s here.
-
And rainy.
-
And unpleasant.
-
I saw an accident on my way to work today. I was stopped at a traffic light. The light for the lanes going forward got the green, but someone in the turn thought it was time to go, so the car just ran into the car ahead of it.
-
Not an auspicious start to the day.
-
Hi, George.
-
How was your day?
-
Worth a few posts?
-
Or not?
-
After getting out of work later than I should, I had to help Joy with a new set of dance classes.
-
The first was country dancing and included polka and shuffle.
-
Let's move on.
-
Three!
-
the second was rhythm dancing. Bachata, merengue, swing and rumba.
-
And now home at last.
-
Watching an oddity called No Pay, Nudity, which was directed by Lee Wilkoff.
-
It features a huge supporting cast of New York actors, including Nathan Lane, Boyd Gaines, Donna Murphy, Frances Conroy, J. Smith-Cameron and more.
-
That's about all I have in me.
-
I have to head over to Criterion and try not to spend money.
-
Where is everyone tonight?
-
I bought a bunch of Fassbinder.
-
No Pay, Nudity was OK. The casting was better than the script.
-
Wow. All the way to 70.
-
Gratuitous post No. 71!
-
Underpants!
-
cRANBERRIES!
-
With the caps lock on.
-
Cran is narc spelled backwards.
-
Duly noted.
-
And good night, all.

Watching an oddity called No Pay, Nudity, which was directed by Lee Wilkoff.
I was looking at this article today about the Bway Little Shop revival, where Lee was supposed to play Mushnick but his wife Connie was replaced as director after Florida. All very weird. (That was a feel by the interviews by Times article writer Robin Pogrebin of: Hmm, they wanted Jerry Zaks to begin with, could only get the rights with Connie Grappo directing, and somehow they ended up with Jerry Zaks for Broadway. )
https://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/20/theater/the-show-that-ate-the-original-cast.html
“So when the trustees of the Ashman estate agreed to a ''Little Shop'' revival, it was on the condition that Connie Grappo would direct." Later: "The producers had wanted Mr. Zaks to direct but yielded to Mr. Ashman's trustees…
''The Florida production, we always understood, was going to be a developing production -- the producers talked about it as that,'' she said. ‘

We are getting our carpets cleaned early tomorrow since they are dirty after the "remodel".
-
'night
-
Page THREE? Really?
-
I come home from rehearsal and we're on page three? REALLY?
-
This is bad form and bad juju.
-
And we'd better get some postin' goin' on right about now or I shan't be happy.
-
Good evening.
-
Page THREE. Seriously?
-
At 11:20 p.m.?
-
SPOILED CRANBERRIES!!
-
One more post.

At this time of night, that is hardly an improvement.
-
I was a bad boy after rehearsal but I worked really hard and finished all the blocking except three simple little things, which I'll do first thing tomorrow. So, I went to In 'N' Out burger and had two cheeseburgers just because I felt like I deserved them.
-
I spent the entire day doing nothing.
-
Well, I went over my lines.
-
I answered some messages.
-
I didn’t go pick up any packages or mail.
-
And for dinner, I had clam chowder.
-
Interesting that the topic is dreams.
-
Hi, George.
Hi, John.
-
Gratuitous Post #100!
-
Hi, Tom.
-
How was your day?
It was good. How was yours? :D
-
No Pay, Nudity was OK. The casting was better than the script.
That's too bad. I'd heard about it and wanted to see it.
-
I had a dream the other night. I don’t remember anything about it except at the end I told whoever it was I was talking to:
”I was named after my grandfathers. Thank God, I wasn’t named after my father.”
-
The dreams I used to enjoy having, I no longer have.
I still have the dreams about being onstage, but not knowing my lines, or even what play I am performing.
-
TCB, I've had that one, too. It's bad enough not to know lines but it's horrible when you don't know what show, what character, nothin'.
-

Exactly, and nobody else seems willing to tell you.
-
Tonight the director and the production team were supposed to meet and work out the schedule for the rest of the week.
-
And then our stage manager was supposed to put out an emai telling the cast.
-
Well, it is almost midnight and I haven’t gotten an email.
-
Hi, George.
-
I doubt the children in our production are still awake waiting to find if they are called for rehearsal tomorrow, or not.
-
I confess, I skipped NCIS tonight and watched THE CONNERS instead.
-
I really enjoyed it. It was funny and it was touching.

What did you think of it?

Ahh...I'd seen a couple of comments from friends on FB and they didn't care for it. Oh, well.
-
The big surprise for me tonight was that I watched the show after THE CONNERS, called THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT.

How was that?
-
It was really an enjoyable show. Or, at least, a very enjoyable episode.
-

-
It was about a family with eight kids living in the Seventies.
-
I expected it to be really bad, but I found myself enjoying all of the characters.

So, on a very sad note, last Friday, there was a murder/suicide in Lacey (https://www.theolympian.com/news/local/article220018875.html). :(
-
It was in the South Sound Center parking lot, and it turns out that one of my staff was in Michael's Arts and Crafts as this was happening! She and other customers had to be rushed to the back of the store for protection.
-
Her car was very close to the victim's car, so it was a couple of hours before she was able to leave. When it was all over, she was escorted by police to her car and had to look over every mark on it and confirm that it was there or not. Fortunately, there were no bullet holes on her car.
-
Vibes to your coworker.
-
And in the "it's a small world" department (but not in the good way), Bruce, set designer for and the actor playing Dr. Scott/Eddie in The Rocky Horror Show (and who played Jesus in TLT's Jesus Christ Superstar), is married to the step-father of the victim.
-
I didn't stay at rehesrsal last night, but they announced that Bruce would be taking a few days off to support his husband at this time.
It's all so sad. :'(
-
Vibes to your coworker.
Thanks, Tom. She's doing okay. She was just shaken up from the experience.
-
A couple of years ago, my sister pulled into the parking lot of the Washington State Employees Credit Union in Lakewood. She found the whole area under lockdown because of an armed gunman in the credit union.

Timing is everything.

Oh, my goodness!
-
And in the same small world category, the armed gunman was there to kill his wife, who was a co-worker of my sister and myself.
-
Small world!. Thanks, I’ve got that song stuck in my head now.

Goodnight, George.

Good night, Tom.

Well, I need to go to sleep. Tomorrow, my friend Margo and I are going to see The Turn of the Screw at Seattle Opera. Hopefully, traffic won't be a problem!
Have a good day, all!
