Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both an opening and a salvo, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently singing a song from Once Upon A Mattress, but they've changed the title to We Have An Opening For A Salvo. Clever, these cows.

And the word of the day is: PHARISAICAL!

Saboteur
Where Eagles Dare - another vote for this movie, very exciting
Inglorious Basterds - even though we had some re-writing of history going on

Good morning, all! I would have been online earlier but for the actions of the Oaf Above Me, who arrived home almost immediately after I turned off the lights at 11pm, crashed around the apartmrny for a bit and left. At 3am he returned with a young lady - I could hear their voices coming through the celing - so I was awake for around 30 minutes before passing out. I don't know - and I don't care - if they had sex since I was not awakened later by the noisy bed, but when the alarm went off at 6:30, I was not ready to get out of bed and start my day. Around 7, I dragged myself to a bath, and I'm hopoing it's a short recording day.
Today, we've got to record Margaret Jane Wray and Zak Stains on a Spanish American War anthem, "Columbia," Zak's two final solo numbers, and Korliss Uecker's musical comedy numbers, including the newly-discovered song from BABES IN TOYLAND, "Evaline McCook." She will come back in November and record her three German lieder. I'm hoping to be home by 3pm. We'll see.

Recording vibes for DR ELMORE.

Off to work - oh well.

Good morning. Or so he thought.

I am about to make a phone call to someone who may be able to help with what I'm not going to talk abotu today
-
I have an appointment for 11:15 to discuss what I'm not going to talk about today. Callie is going with me

Ok, time to go to work.

Morning, all.

Too much work to do today and no desire to do any of it.

DR Cillaliz - I hope that thing you're not talking about turns out OK ;)

TOD:
I just saw the movie "Man Hunt" with Walter Pigeon, Joan Bennett, George Sanders and a very young Roddy McDowell. Wonderfully suspenseful and not at all like a Hollywood production. Alfred Newman's score uses "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" to great effect. It was about a hunter who had his chance to shoot Hitler but ends up being hunted himself. Takes place before the start of the war, but was wonderful nonetheless. Fritz Lang directed.
Others include "Casablanca," which I never get tired of watching, "To Be or Not to Be," "The Great Escape," "Das Boot," "Paisan" and a guilty pleasure, "Ilse, She-Wolf of the S.S."

I watched MY NAME IS JULIA ROSS last night.
I'd never seen it before and, truthfully, I was very disappointed
(Sorry BK)
Frankly, despite any faults, I like DEAD OF WINTER much better.
The performances, particularly by my late former client (Nina Foch), are fine, but the script is a mess. There is absolutely not logic whatsoever to it. The characters' actions/reactions are totally unbelievable.
Perhaps it was a great thriller in its day, but it certainly doesn't hold up.

Dead of Winter was the very first VHS I rented from our local video store (remember those?) after I bought my very first VCR.

Great news DR Vixmom about your mom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reading about M&Ms in the freezer made me think about keeping chocolate bars in the fridge. My sister and her husband like to do this. I don't like cold chocolate! Do other people keep their chocolates in the fridge?
And am I the only one who has never heard of putting chocolates in the freezer. What does it do? And do the chocolates taste the same when you take them out of the freezer?
-
DR Elmore, that oaf is really getting on my nerves. Did the landlord ever reply to you? This would drive me crazy. I'm not sure how you cope.
-
Oh re: the M&Ms, I see you eat them frozen. I am curous though if left to thaw if they would taste good.
-
I wonder what Cillaliz is talking about.

The little known Polish version of Billy Wilder's film. ;D

Morning, all!
TOD: The only WWII movies I've seen were Holocaust-themed, rather than spy-based (Schindler's List, Life is Beautiful), so not much to go on there.
Other than York Peppermint Patties, I've never really felt the need to freeze chocolates. One of my friends used to rave about frozen Snickerses, but they never did anything for me.

DR Elmore, that oaf is really getting on my nerves. Did the landlord ever reply to you? This would drive me crazy. I'm not sure how you cope.
No, DR Jennifer, there's been no response from the landlord. I cope essentially by fantasizing brutally killing the Oaf in the various ways:
1. waiting till I hear him around 5am go out to walk the dog and butchering him in the elevator
2. waiting till he goes out around 5am, climbing the fire escape, killing whoever's in his bed and waiting for him to return to kill him
3. knocking on his door and when he opens it, attacking him with a weapon, something will will not only kill but hurt
What I want to do is initiate an email trail of complaints, then taking the landlord to court and suing his ass off for doing nothing. I'm also thinking of going to the police precinct next week, when I'm out of the studio and tell them my concerns about possible drug dealing between 11pm and 4am.

I guess my favorite WW2 films are MISTER ROBERTS, SOUTH PACIFIC and BUCK PRIVATES.

Callie and I are doing the pattern baldness probably not what we are not talking about today dance!!!

I am very relieved.....no I am very very relieved. The vet sent in a culture anyway, but she was pretty sure.
-
Today I told a Federal District Court Judge that getting my cat to the vet was more important than being at the 10:30 am hearing that he told me about for the very first time at 10:05 AM. I am pleased to say he told me I didn't need to be there and it will be rescheduled. LOL, the hearing isn't even about MY client, it's about her husband. I have nothing to say about it, but will go if I have enough notice. I think his assistant was surprised that I was so insistent that I couldn't be there.
Well, I didn't actually have the conversation with him, it was with his assistant, but it's the same thing, really

And on the happiest note of all, two of my clients who were previously considered to be in the country illegally got their green cards today!! One is a 16 year old artist. I took the case pro bono and he's going to paint me something as payment. He won an art contest here, so who knows...

That's nice, Cillaliz.

Good news on several fronts from DR Cillaliz!

We are off now on a mission of mercy for my mother - to buy Scotch and deliver it to her. She's been out for a while and says she can't sleep without it. Who's gonna argue with someone who turns 92 next month?
I probably won't be back until after my book group meeting tonight - bye for now!

Chocolate should be eaten at room temperature so it melts in your mouth.

This morning at precisely 10:00 a.m., a very nice (and very attractive) cable guy came over to my place to look at my cable modem and check out my Internet situation. He looked at the brand new modem and saw that, yes, it really was dead. He disconnected the modem and hooked up the cable to some device that ran tests on the cable connection and everything look fine, as far as cable connectivity was concerned. He then went to his van and got another new modem...a different model than what I had just gotten AND one that allows for even higher speeds! I wasn't able to check it out very much when he left, but I will when I get home. :D

I could tell that my mom had been watching Fox news when she told me how angry she was at the government.
I asked her what she was so angry about. She said that she didn't like the government telling her what she could and could not do. I asked her what was it that she wanted to do that the government would not allow her to do. She couldn't think of anything and then she got mad at me.
I tried to help her out by asking if it was that she just wanted to be able to murder someone, or take dope, or run red lights, or what.
She didn't talk to me for a whole week.

LOL MBarnum!

Back from the LACC event - there'd been some weird miscommunication and they all thought I was somehow just going to hold court for an hour all by my lonesome. So, we fixed that right away - one of the faculty, a great guy named Les Ferriera, moderated, asked questions and then we did a Q&A. It was really fun, and got really funny by the end, when I sang a snippet of Dancing Dildos and demonstrated the choreography. I gave away fifteen books to the students who got there fast enough, then signed for a while.
-
Then I went to lunch with Doug Haverty - he's now designing a completely new site for LACCTAA, so I had to give him some materials. We went to Mo's and I had a bacon cheeseburger and some cole slaw.

Then I picked up no mail and no packages, and now I'm home. All packages were shipped this morning.

Boo seems to be most jealous tonight. Perhaps I should take her to the Vet next week to get her chip. Since that's where the other two have been going. Or I could give her a bath lol. Maybe then she'd be happy that her "mom" time consists of sleeping on my lap every evening.

Thanks for the vibes. Actually there was lots of good news today. Ricky has to stay isolated for a couple more weeks, but the vet doesn't think we need to do the pills. She said it isn't that bad of a case. Since the pills have bad side effects, this is more good news.

OK, time to go. I think it will be fast food for dinner and then off to the placard meeting. Not too many on the list tonight....and most have recommendations for deferrals for 90 days, so it should be a quick meeting

Oh! I almost forgot. I mentioned the Symphony is doing A Night at the Movies...they are doing this too
If that wasn’t enough, there are prizes to be won! We are asking you to come to the concert dressed in your Oscar best or as your favorite Hollywood hero or character. On your way into the concert, walk the red carpet and be our guests for the night. At intermission, Sioux City celebrity judges will make their way through the crowd and select the best-dressed and most creative audience members of the evening.
any suggestions?

Even when I drank, I couldn't stand the taste of scotch.
I LOVE good aged scotch!!! No ice for me. :)

And on the happiest note of all, two of my clients who were previously considered to be in the country illegally got their green cards today!! One is a 16 year old artist. I took the case pro bono and he's going to paint me something as payment. He won an art contest here, so who knows...
Congrats and great news! And please post a picture of the picture when you get it! :D
He said he wants to get a good canvas. I told him there's a spot over my desk. So, whatever it is, it will hang over my desk, at least for awhile.
Maybe he will offer to paint you in the nude!
No, I'm not posing for a 16 year old
Does this mean you would pose for a 50 year old ;)

Thanks for the vibes. Actually there was lots of good news today. Ricky has to stay isolated for a couple more weeks, but the vet doesn't think we need to do the pills. She said it isn't that bad of a case. Since the pills have bad side effects, this is more good news.

Oh! I almost forgot. I mentioned the Symphony is doing A Night at the Movies...they are doing this too
If that wasn’t enough, there are prizes to be won! We are asking you to come to the concert dressed in your Oscar best or as your favorite Hollywood hero or character. On your way into the concert, walk the red carpet and be our guests for the night. At intermission, Sioux City celebrity judges will make their way through the crowd and select the best-dressed and most creative audience members of the evening.
any suggestions?
Do you have a pair of knee-high boots?
You could tuck the bottom of a pair of tan pants in the boots so that they look like jompers, add a sport coat with an ascot add a beret and you can go as a silent film director.

MBarnum, how is your new apartment?
-
Druxy, I don't think that was me who commented.
Well, somebody here thinks MY NAME IS JULIA ROSS is the greatest thing since chopped liver.
;)

I don't think I've ever had Scotch.

My niece stayed home from school today because she threw up yesterday.
She threw up last week on Tuesday. And now this week on Wednesday. I don't think she's ever thrown up before (at age 5).
I felt so bad for her today because she was crying that her tummy hurt. My mom thought maybe it was gas (she did not throw up today). :(

Feel better vibes for DRN of DR Jennifer.

You could go as John Smithee!

Keith will let me know if I have email while I'm in Chicago as I doubt I'll be using a computer there.
Vibes to all while I'm gone. I'm flying home on Tuesday.
'night

Have a good time in Chicago, whatever you are doing!
-
Travel vibes for DR Jane!

We had a good discussion of Southern Women Writers - Lee Smith, Eudora Welty, Kaye Gibbons, Dorothy Allison, Zora Neale Hurston, Mary Lee Settle, and Kathy Reichs (which I think is a stretch).

Pose, no. Get naked...depends on the 50 year old

This would be very fun. I may go to Goodwill tomorrow and if they don't have my sequins gown, maybe they have knee high boots!

I don't think I've ever had Scotch.
When I was in college, my brother had come to visit me and bought a bottle of scotch. He drank some but left a lot of it. I thought I hated it, so I didn't touch it until I broke up with a guy and felt so bad I decided to drink the nasty stuff. I took one sip and burst out laughing....I liked it! I have had many glasses since then

Went to the book signing - I got a couple of things while I was there - a new book that has lots of Hitchcock memorabilia in it, and Patti Lupone's memoir. And my friend's book, which she signed quite nicely to me.
-
Then watched a motion picture on DVD - too chilly for a jog, I'm afraid, but tomorrow for sure.

110 only a few weeks ago and now too chilly. Love the consistent weather patterns we've been having.

We are off now on a mission of mercy for my mother - to buy Scotch and deliver it to her. She's been out for a while and says she can't sleep without it. Who's gonna argue with someone who turns 92 next month?
I probably won't be back until after my book group meeting tonight - bye for now!
I say let them drink Scotch!
Ditto.

I could tell that my mom had been watching Fox news when she told me how angry she was at the government.
I asked her what she was so angry about. She said that she didn't like the government telling her what she could and could not do. I asked her what was it that she wanted to do that the government would not allow her to do. She couldn't think of anything and then she got mad at me.
I tried to help her out by asking if it was that she just wanted to be able to murder someone, or take dope, or run red lights, or what.
She didn't talk to me for a whole week.
LOL.

;D

Great stories today. Am having a few good laughs catching up. Wish my day had been a little humorous. Instead, I'm still fighting with the publisher of the magazine over getting paid for the last issue. Actually my colleague is doing the fighting, but it's stressful enough hearing what she's going through.

Wonderful news. And continued vibes. (No, I'm not reading the posts in any sort of order.)

Good Morning! Good Afternoon! Good Evening!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm in Fairfax, VA.

After having a very strange night of sleep - strange because I didn't feel like I had slept even though I knew that I had - I hopped on a Bolt Bus down to DC. Then took the subway out to Arlington, where my brother, Jay, picked me up. Then we hung out with my parents and some old family friends for a few hours, and then we headed to my nephew's favorite restaurant, TGI Friday's, for his birthday dinner. And then I ended up meeting up with a friend of mine who happened to get stuck at Dulles for a few hours.
All in all, a very good day.

To those DRs who may be in need of them: ~~~~~VIBES~~~~~VIBES~~~~~VIBES~~~~~

Goodnight.

Tomorrow's going to be a long day for me...
