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

I'm on my new computer and updating iTunes to the newest version, 8.2.1. My old computer, which I'm still keeping, can only handle version 7.4, or something like that.

BK, I've really been enjoying all the Kritzerland soundtrack releases, but I'm always excited for a new cast album reissue!

And now I have to restart my computer, then I can import all my iTunes songs from my old computer...it took four, count 'em FOUR blank discs. That's probably not a lot, compared to others here.

TOD

TWO CDs by Daniel Nihmod whose concert I saw on Wednesday night. They are: One Power and Serenity which is a cd of instrumentals.

He writes a wide variety of songs.

Looking forward to his new cd coming out in three weeks Time For Fire

Not listening to anything right now but I will plug into the Beeb soon.

We may start watching Lost Empires this weekend, a Masterpiece Theatre/Granada Television series from the mid-80s. We began watching it and for various reasons (wonky discs and then a wonky DVD player) we never were able to finish. Now that we have our new player we will begin watching from the beginning.

Last night we watched the bonus features from Sleeping Beauty (thanks Larry) and finished the bonus features from Pinocchio (Anthony gave me the DVD for our anniversary).

We also have The Good Companions which Ant's mother recorded from Turner a few weeks ago.

I have been moved to my temporary space. It will be perhaps two weeks of time. I won't be around much (it's still early which is why I'm posting) since I'm now in an open space with 4 other people. As much as people make jokes about cubicles they do offer a modicum of privacy. It was easy to take a two minute break and hang out here but now in the open with 4 (or more) people surrounding you the focus is on work.

Ah, well. Perhaps in the next two weeks I will be more productive.

Bye for now.

Good morning!

Kind of gray here this morning, not especially warm (yet), and we might have some rain this afternoon.

Matt H. · « **Reply #12 on:** August 14, 2009, 05:24:01 AM »

I wish I could say I passed a better night last night, but I'd be lying if I did. Still only got about three or four hours of sleep. Still, the pain did seem about 1/4 less severe than it had been the last few mornings. I hope that level of ache can continue to improve as I work my way through the six days of steroid dosing.

Matt H. · « **Reply #13 on:** August 14, 2009, 05:25:05 AM »

I've already taken my shower and cleaned up for the day, but naturally won't head out on Friday errands until closer to noon. I'm going to head down in a little way and recommence with NCIS.

Matt H. · « **Reply #14 on:** August 14, 2009, 05:27:04 AM »

Interesting that NCIS was so popular last year that CBS ordered 25 episodes rather than the usual 22 that most series get for a full season order. I am enjoying the shows and really think adding Rocky Carroll as the new NCIS director (after they killed off - deservedly - the poor Lauren Holly) improved the season considerably.

I hate it when there is no space to rest your face.

The thing I have watched most recently is the HBO movie,"Grey Gardens" with Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lang and "When Harry Met Sally."

Druxy · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2009, 06:28:38 AM »

This weekend, I'll probably watch SUNSHINE CLEANING and, if they arrive as they should, ADVENTURELAND and AMERICAN SON.

Druxy · « **Reply #21 on:** August 14, 2009, 06:31:45 AM »

Last night, I watched JULIA with Tilda Swinton.

If she doesn't get an Oscar nomination for this film, then the producers & distributor should be taken out and stoned.

She delivers an amazing performance.

Good morning, all! I slept soundly from 11 to around 1:30, and then i was up and down to the bathroom or wide awake most of the night. Around 6 or so I slept very heavily until 8:45. I absolutely hate it. I did have one weird dream combining a Jiulliard student concert, a lost number from PORGY & BESS, the great coloratura soprano Reri Grist, and a frightening murder; it was bizarre.

Today, I'm going nowhere; I have things to do at home: MOST HAPPY FELLA, checking the LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40 scores, Brent's Christmas album. I've also been going over the new full score to Kern's OH BOY! with a fine-toothed comb; we have decisions to make in the PHI office about it. This is my life for the weekend.

TOD:
DVD: A BBC 2-disc murder mystery and a ghost story anthology from Netflix, several operettas

Continuing yesterday's TOD....I could find only one song from this couple on You Tube....it is not my favorite, but it is typical.

The inimitable piano and vocal stylings of Jonathan & Darlene Edwards

I got two more NCIS episodes watched.

The first was the very memorable Christmas episode that had me bawling my eyes out by the end of it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** August 14, 2009, 07:49:50 AM »

The second found McGee trapped in a wpomen's prison which is locked down when a riot occurs and a murder is committed. He basically has to solve the crime to save his life. Good showcase for Sean Murray.
