Well, you've read the notes, the notes were only a little uppity, and now it is time for you to post until the uppity cows come home, although the uppity cows don't hold a candle to Mr. Uppity.

And the word of the day is: VESPERTINE!

Morning all.
That is all.

Good morning, all! I have two doctors' appointments this morning with a dermatologist and my ophthalmalogist, both at the HIP facility on 22nd Street and 5th Avenue. I hope it goes smoothly. I slept well until 4am, when the new tenant arrived home, created much noise for a couple of hours and disturbed my sleep pattern.
BK, perhaps this Mr Uppity dislikes you as much as you dislike him and snubs you because he prefers not to deal with you? That's why the lady is a tramp.

When I read Sam's posts from last night I suddenly had Marlene Dietrich's voice in my head singing
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it
Love's always been my game
Play it as I may
I was born that way
Can't help it
Men flock around me
Like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

HEALTH VIBES for Jose's friend

Well I must get ready for the Dr --- LATERS

Good luck at your appointment, Vixmom! And Elmore!

It looks as if my friend Chase Brock, Rob Berman's partner, may be the new SPIDERMAN choreographer. Chase has been a huge defendent of the show from Day One.
They're predicting snow tomorrow, which seems to be shocking folk. I remember in 1984 or 1985 a huge blizzard early in April. I had a meeting scheduled at the Liederkranz Club on 5th Avenue and it took forever to get there, between the slow traffic and the walk through gigantic drifts of snow. When I got to the Club, I found it closed and the meeting cancelled. I was not amused.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it's not even 9:00am yet. ;)

So...
After a CAT scan(!), the docs at the ER determined that my friend was dealing with an acute asthma attack that had been lasting more than 24 hours. So, the put him on a nebulizer for a bit, and he left the ER around 6:30 this morning.
I read his email at 7:30 this morning.
And now at around 8:30, I shall start making my way over to Carroll Studios for an orchestra rehearsal.
And around 10:00 I shall be sight-reading some apparently pretty thorny orchestral piano part to a piece of music that was written within the last two years.
Fun? Fun! ::)
-
DR elmore - Yep, Snow!
*And there's even snow in the forecast for Saturday while I'm in Chicago. -I just hope tomorrow's snow does not mess up my travel plans. I'll be training it again to the midwest.
-
DR elmore - Yep, Chase!
*Who, I think, is a good fit in regards to the new creative team. I wish him well if that news does indeed become official.

DR vixmom - Have a good check up!

DR elmore - Have a good doctor's appointment. Or two.

Good Morning, Ben.

Morning Jose.

Yesterday DR TCB wrote:
Photocopying the slips will not prove that you turned in the slips, only that you filled them out.
That's why I'm going to have the librarian sign my paper when I hand them in!
-
Yesterday DR Jane wrote:
Because it is a pain to do so & a waste of paper. Do you have to pay to copy them? What if you fill out two slips for the same book & have them initial the second one as a duplicate. How many do you put in at once?
No my printer has a photocopier. I will put all of them on one paper. Right now I have 7. I will always do it this way.
Even though it's a waste of paper at least it will prove that i'm not lying.
-
RE: the whole library thing from yesterday.
It's sort of amazing with a paper system that they don't lose most of the slips. I guess they think they have a system where they go from the front desk to the reference librarian. But it's stupid. THe rest of the system is not computerized. I even spoke to the guy in charge in September and he said they were going to get the requests computerized. But that was 6 months ago.
-
DR George re: your question from last night.
The library system is computerized, except for requests for new books. For books that are in the system already I am fine as I can do that from home.
The reason my holds are being dropped is because they keep losing my slips of paper. I suspect that it happens to others as well but they are too shy to say anything. And they are probably not sure that they actually made the request. So they probably just put themselves at the end of the line.
-
Also, DR George, here the books only go in the system when the library actually gets them. I know some libraries have their books in the system as soon as they are ordered.
If the books went into the system as soon as they were ordered I would be able to see if there was a problem in advance. As it is now I can only see there is a problem once the books have already gone out to people.

DR Jane vibes for your shoulder. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RE: my shoulder. I have no idea why it was even hurting (can't remember doing anything to it). But I am finally able to swim with very minimal pain (can do 80% of laps front crawl).

Last night DR Vixmom wrote:
I suspect the reason it keeps happening to you is that you request them so far in advance of the book being available 6 months is a long time to keep track of a little piece of paper in a busy library
Yep that is true. Although it goes into the same file, so really it shouldn't make a difference if it is there for 1 month or 6 months.
You'd think that the mean lady would realize how stupid the system is and blame her system instead of blaming me. I don't think it's odd either that they lose so many slips (all things considered).
-
Last night DR Jose wrote:
DR Jennifer - Something tells me that you're not the only person who's reservation slips get lost. You just happen to be the only one at the library at the times that you are there who has to deal with a lost slip. In any case...
I would still report the reference librarian. Someone there should know just how non-service-oriented she is. -Although, I highly suspect, that they already do.
Well the lady should be informed of all lost slips ... so I actually don't think people are reporting them. I really think i'm the only one who is saying anything.
And I don't think that anyone knows that this lady is not being nice. She can be nice and last week when I was there she went crazy helping someone else. And she was actually fairly nice to me last week also. It seems to be that she is only mean when she gets defensive because I go to her about a problem.

I have returned from 22nd Street. I cannot see well since my eyes are dilated from the eyedrops and I am not happy with the brightness of the day. Everything visually is fine and I got a clean bill of health from my body check from the dermatologist for lesions, melanomas, etc.
I have to call the pharmacy and refill my meds, which I can pck up tomorrow, and write my rent check, which is three weeks late.
DR Jose, good news about your friend!

Not liking a person is still not a reason to snub them in public. I find it difficult to understand why people behave that way, especially when I initially had a good relationship with them. In that case I have found out later the person was unpleasant to lots of other people & the problem was them not me.

Yep I do cause her a lot of work. But I'm not forcing her to buy all the books that I request. It just happens that they buy 95% of them.
Many of the books I request would be books that they would get anyways (books in series they already have). And many are books that they should have but don't.

I found ear plugs really help. I never liked goggles but have been considering them. I would need magnified ones so I could see. I wouldn't be able to wear them during the exercise class & would have to get out of the pool to switch out my glasses for my goggles, unless I can wear my glasses over my goggles while I swim. It seems so complicated so I haven't done anything about the problem. ;D
I don't know how expensive they are (or if they're even readily available), but I've heard of people getting prescription goggles, so they can see while they swim.
If I swam more often I would look into it. When we have rented snorkeling equipment I rented masks with a decent enough prescription in them. It was easy at the store with an assortment to chose from and an eye chart.

From Bruce:
Falling in love. Perhaps a double wedding can take place, eh?
Double????
Not ME :)
I just noticed my four question marks turned into ??? which was not my intention. ;D

Rehearsal tonight, George?
Yes...and Christian is our fight choreographer. He's very good at it.
He is very good at a lot of things!

Anytime you have three question marks together, they form the code for the ??? smilie. If you break it up with spaces: ?? ?? ?? then it doesn't happen.

I have a Facebook question. A friend sent me the following message:
Apparently starting last Friday (the 18th) FB started using our photos and posts to run on the right side of our wall and friends walls. I read how to change the settings to NOT allow them to do this.... You might want to do the same. Every time I go to a mutual friends wall...you are there on the right.
She neglected to tell me how to fix it and since she has been rather ill I don't want to ask her. Does anyone know? I couldn't find anything online.

I am perfectly aware of this fact, the problem is remembering to do the spaces when I post. :)

So...Pug, the director of Cannibal! posted this on Facebook not too long ago. Has anyone seen/heard about this?: Alan Rickman and Tom Courtenay join cast of GAMBIT remake (http://geektyrant.com/news/2011/3/22/alan-rickman-and-tom-courtenay-join-cast-of-gambit-remake.html).
Comments?
-
My former coworker, Sue, is a huge Alan Rickman fan and will be first in line to see the GAMBIT remake!
-
Nope and IMBD doesn't have anything. ;)
I think I like the casting of the men. It has been a long time since I saw the original.

Pug and a couple of other people agree with you...they also like the men but are not to keen on Cameron Diaz.

Well, it's time for rehearsal.
Be back later!

TCB, if you have any trouble getting to sleep, go to www.hulu.com and watch "My Mother the Car." Works for me every time.

And so, goodbye for now.
Therefore in honor of Mr. SS birthday
Yes I know, goodbye for now,
How long? ~ a year, a day?
Yes I love you, yes you're with me,
here now, next to me, and worlds away!
See I free you, and I'll see you when I see you,
fine, OK?
Goodbye for now, again
Goodbye until whenever then
We're free, that's what we said we'd be,
at leave to come an' go, you as well as I,
somehow each "hello" makes it worth "goodbye" for now!

One Day More..............
And since I am in a lyric quoting frame of mind and even if its not by Mr. SS
Here is:
One day more!
Another day, another destiny.
This never-ending road to Calvary;
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time.
One day more!

I did not live until today.
How can I live when we are parted?

Whew! You can't buy a can of paint off the shelf anymore - you give the man - if you can find him - your color chip and he will mix it for you.
NOW - I know this is NOT NEWS to the educated hoi polloi here at HHW.....but I haven't bought paint since the 20th Century, so I really didn't know that.
Actually you can take in anything and they can match the color. I haven't done that yet, but it's pretty cool
-
DR Cillaliz (or anybody else who watched), what did you think of last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS?
I was very impressed with: Karate Kid, Kirstie Alley and that Disney girl Chelsea. I"m not sure who my fav will be. But I have a feeling it might be Karina and Karate Kid.
I also like Dmitry a lot. So I may cheer for him and Petra.
DR Jennifer, haven't watched all of it yet. I had a Friends of the Library meeting

And as previously mentioned the Broadway production of Chicago will become the 5th longest running show on Friday. But then it needs to only 178 performance more to surpace A Chorus Line which was victorious over the original produciton of Chicago. Oh how things turn.
That is roughly 22 and a half weeks of additional performances to accomplish this,

I had a friend say in an off handed way "why don't you stop by Tuesday after work for a martini". Ok, I thought it was kind of....well it's Tuesday. Later I found out it was her birthday so, I went over for martinis. It was fun and I was glad to be there for her birthday.

Glad to see Kathee Lee Gifford is still working on "Saving Aimee." Sounded like a good premise for a musical. I hope she and her associates can pull it off.

It wasn't just me, it was a party, but she didn't really tell anyone it was her birthday or that it was a party. She's like that.

Hmmm weather spotter training is April 21. I've done that in the past, but not here. Might be kind of fun to go again. I don't really want to be an official spotter because I don't really like being out in a tornado or severe storm, but it's nice to know what I'm looking at if I'm out in bad weather
-
We had rain and thunder tonight. There was a tornado about an hour south of here, but I don't think it did much damage.
-
Tomorrow we may have snow showers. Guess our 60 degree weather is over for awhile.
-
Hrumph! My clothes are getting tight again and I don't want to go on a diet.

I've done that -- wanted to celebrate without too much attention.

Danny Kaye is one of those cinematic gaps in my education. I've seen a handful of his movies: Court Jester; Hands Christian Anderson; a couple of others maybe, but...with the exception of White Christmas...I've only seen them once. I enjoy Kaye when I see him and have nothing against him (although he can be a little manic onscreen), I've just not be driven to see all his stuff. I always like the Russian Composer song he did, from LADY IN THE DARK originally, I think.

Finished with my viewing for the evening.

i want to know if cilla got her movie passes
No :( I called the main headquarters again today. Turns out it's a guy and his wife who own the chain of theaters. This time I talked to the husband. I explained she was going to send it on Friday. He said well she probably mailed it Monday you'll get it tomorrow. I told him she said she was mailing it Friday and I'd get it on Saturday and this was Tuesday. I explained that I've had a lot of trouble getting the pass and that I thought it was probably the newspaper's fault.
Then I told him that it was such a fabulous prize and I love his theater and go there all the time, but I'm not going to go and pay when I have a pass. He asked if the manager knew I was the winner...I said "oh, he knows". He laughed and said he'll follow up for me.
So, I'm hoping I get it tomorrow
-
If this doesn't work and I don't have the passes in the next two days I'm going to start posting on their facebook page that I won the contest for the oscars and still haven't seen my prize. I'll play nice, but if it doesn't work, then I'm going public
