Tuesday morning greetings!  Richard left early this morning for a day in Lima - the diocesan steering committee is meeting at his church.  They don't need me and I certainly didn't want to hang around there all day.  Besides, I have my strength/flexibility class this morning and an appointment to deliver lots of baggy (on me) clothes to the consignment shop this afternoon.  Then I'm meeting my mother and cousin for dinner at the Olive Garden.

Good morning, all! I slept late. The alarm went off at 6:30, I got up at 7, thought about it and went back to bed till 8, during which I had a truly weird dream about working production on Into The Woods, a Sondheim show of which I am not particularly fond. I have a memory of an earlier dream involving buses and navigating Manhattan, but it's too vague.

I have errands to run today and maybe a trip to the NYPL, depending on how everything else goes. My priority is getting the EILEEN materials bound and a vocal score copied for the conductor.

TOD: Harp, because I'm so angelic.

I've always wanted to play the piano. I just love the sound they make. Horns are probably my least favorite, but they have their place and I enjoy them in that place. Anyway, pianos are very big and expensive. And more importantly, I have absolutely no talent. My sense of rhythm is particularly bad, even for a white girl. Mark and I are the modern day Antonio Salieri - we have this intense love of music, but no talent for anything musical. We don't even sing well in the shower. It would be really tragic if it wasn't so comical. Fortunately, we have talents in other areas that allow us to hold down jobs, so we can make money to spend on music.  :)

My name was called in jury duty at 3:30 pm. It was so late that they decided to delay the jury selection process until this morning. So, I've had all night to think of really terrible and politically incorrect things to say to get me rejected. But after seeing today's TOD, I think I'll just stand up in the court room, and sing "My Country Tis of Thee" really really loud. That's bound to get me thrown out.

The Kelly Family

And the family story:

There are several more recent videos of them that are interesting to see....Paddy, the lead singer in the video joined a monastery and just recently left.

TOD: Violin. So many beautiful pieces have been written for violin, but I don't have the discipline to learn an instrument like that any more.

I took piano when I was a kid, but I never practiced enough. I don't have a piano now, so maybe that's a good thing.

Title: Re: WHEN IT WANES IT POURS
Post by: JoseSPiano on March 29, 2011, 07:47:40 AM
Well... Until then, I think I'm just going to take it easy for the next couple of hours. Maybe even do a load of laundry - at least the bed linens (I'm a good house guest). Oh, and my socks. I did some more "touristy" things yesterday, and walked a lot. A lot. By the time I got back here last night, I ended up falling asleep on the couch around 10:30. There's nothing really left on my "Must Do" list, so... yadda, yadda, yadda...

As for the Topic of the Day...

Count me in as another want-to-be Violinist. And/or a want-to-be Cellist.

Each time I try out a friend's violin or cello, it still amazes at just how much physical effort it does not take to get a sound out of the instrument. It's most definitely a skill, talent.

When I went swimming yesterday they had taken all the doors off of the showers.  I was not impressed.

The girl at the front desk said it was because some of the women had been locking themselves in the rooms when there were huge lines.  I complained and she said she would talk to the director.

At least they are opening the women's lockerroom in a couple of weeks.

DR MBarnum - Maybe you should bring one of your Bollywood magazines into the hot tub with you. That could prompt some conversation. Or cease it. ;)

Otherwise, I know a lot of places that do not allow any sort of reading material in a hot tub. The potential for paper clogs is too easy. You may want to report the mean guy to the front desk.

DR JRand - I actually went down to Navy Pier yesterday. It was sunny, but cold. And it got colder and windier the further I went out on the pier. The Ferris Wheel was running, but I just wasn't in the mood for a "loop". I was also sort of turned off by the fact that most of Navy Pier is basically one big Food Court and a lot of souvenir shops. -And since it was Monday, there was nothing going on at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater.

I now know why our justice system moves so slowly - TWO hour lunch breaks...sheesh. I've made a new wonderful discovery though - chocolate-covered cinnamon gummy bears - yummilicious! Anyway, jury selection is taking forever. If someone admits they might be a less-than-impartial juror, the judge, defending attorney, and prosecuting attorney all ask him to talk about that three different times, phrasing the same question three different ways. I just wanted to yell, "look, you can ask him the same question three times, but he'll still be a bigot no matter how you phrase the question!"

Back from some bacon and eggs and picking up a couple of packages and the Fed Ex.  UPS hadn't arrived yet, and there should be at least one or two more packages coming that way, so I'll probably have to go back there in an hour or two.  Then the guy arrives to install the part and do some work.  I'm accepting guesses as to what the item is that was delivered on Saturday.

I've decided to burn no bridges with either of my employers, and we'll see how it goes.

KV Pharmaceuticals just raised the price of a drug for premature labor  from $20/injection to $1500 for one! What the hell? I hope some group burns their offices down.


Did you hear the one about the pharmaceutical company that mixed up their antidepressants with their prostate cancer pills?

If I take the computer into the hot tub, I get a mighty shock.

My name was called in jury duty at 3:30 pm. It was so late that they decided to delay the jury selection process until this morning. So, I've had all night to think of really terrible and politically incorrect things to say to get me rejected. But after seeing today's TOD, I think I'll just stand up in the court room, and sing "My Country Tis of Thee" really really loud. That's bound to get me thrown out.

What a coinky-dink!  I got a Jury Summons in the mail.  Unfortunately it was not addressed to me.

Um. To whom was it addressed, then?

And the Titanic struck the iceberg on Sunday night, April 14th and sank a little over two hours later on April 15.  And 2012 is the 100th anniversary.

That is a shocking difference.  I hope only one shot is needed for treatment.  If the offices burn there might not be a drug at all so be careful what you wish for ;)

Today I picked up my 28 day inject pen.  Without insurance it is Twelve hundred something.  With insurance, until my deductible kicks in, a mere $848.72.  Ouch!

I now know why our justice system moves so slowly - TWO hour lunch breaks...sheesh. I've made a new wonderful discovery though - chocolate-covered cinnamon gummy bears - yummilicious! Anyway, jury selection is taking forever. If someone admits they might be a less-than-impartial juror, the judge, defending attorney, and prosecuting attorney all ask him to talk about that three different times, phrasing the same question three different ways. I just wanted to yell, "look, you can ask him the same question three times, but he'll still be a bigot no matter how you phrase the question!"

Actually, during the jury's 2 hour lunch break the attorneys are researching, arguing issues with the judge, preparing, dealing with witness issues etc.  As a trial attorney, I rarely have time to eat lunch during trial
