Well, you've read the notes, the notes rhymed with oats, and not it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're doing something with oats that even I don't want to know about.

Good morning, all! I have put off laundry as long as possible, so thins morning I have to do it. I've got other things to do as well, some writing on Victor Herbert, a bit of choral writing, and cleaning the apartment. This afternoon I may go out with my beloved goddaughter Charlotte; I want to hear all about her summer at Shakespeare and Co.

Last night I rushed home (as much as one can rush when someone else is driving the train), rushed though dinner, then ripped open the LOST Season 6 package, found the disc containing the bonuses, tossed it into the DVD player and sat back in anticipation of the series epilogue, "The New Man In Charge".

DR MBARNUM sent me a nifty package of entertainment yesterday - so last night I enjoyed watching Miss Mamie Van Doren in two of her finest films - UNTAMED YOUTH and COLLEGE CONFIDENTIAL.....CC of course also features Miss Jayne Meadows and two of my favorite folk singers Mr Randy Sparks and Ms Judy Henske.....Mr Sparks looking better in bathing attire than does Ms Henske.
Conway Twitty also "acts" in this movie....making Mamie look like Meryl Streep by comparison.

I also received CRASH LANDING featuring Ms Nancy Davis and Mr Gary Merrill and Mr Roger Smith....from the same people who brought you THE GIANT CLAW.....most entertaining!

Thank you DR MBARNUM for the movies and the card!

Title: Re: FEELING MY OATS
Post by: Matthew on August 25, 2010, 07:58:50 AM
Ok, time to catch people up on the last two days.

Monday and Tuesday were both teacher in-services at school.  I wasn't too excited to go back, but somehow, now I am.  I guess that's good.

Monday night, I say a Rufus Wainwright concert at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga.  The last time I was there I saw Linda Eder and Burt Bacharach.  They remodeled the amphitheater and it's gorgeous up there now.  The concert was amazing.  First of all, Rufus' sister, Martha, opened for him and she's a great talent.  Very witty, very talented.  Then Rufus came out and did his latest CD - just him and the piano and some projections.  He performed it as a song cycle and asked that no one applaud until he left the stage.  I believe the CD is a tribute to his mom who passed away in January.  From our seats, we could see him at the keyboard, and he was just amazing.  His fingers moved effortlessly over the keyboard, I really can't describe his talent.  The second half was just him and a piano again and he played a lot of his songs from his other CD's.  It was just an amazing night.  Maybe the best concert I have ever been to.

And that brings us up to date.

Tonight is a Sunset Blvd production meeting and I'm really anxious to see what the set designer has planned.  Saturday is auditions, which I'm looking forward to.  I'm so excited about this show, but that's old news.

It was so "warm" last night that I could not get comfortable in my bed.

I made a pallet on the living room floor...and turned on the AC (window unit).  There I slept for about four hours.  I got up and checked my room at about 2:30 a.m. and found it was cool.  I returned to my bed and slept until the alarm went off.

Major cool should return this evening. 


But yesterday was a SCORCHER.

I did something to my lower back yesterday and was in a fair amount of pain all night (a waterbed is terrible for a sore back).

I wish I knew what i did (it wasn't lifting anything). And it's my left lower back (it's usually my right lower back that hurts). So i'm hobbling around today.  Surprisingly it feels pretty good to bike (you'd think it would be very painful). So i will try that later.

I tried a heating pad but that didn't help.  I wonder if hooping would absolutely kill.

So You Think You Can Dance Canada started this week. And Mary Murphy was a judge. I was so happy to see her (she judged a bit last year and was at some of the auditions this year). I really hope that she will be on every week. Or at least a lot. I missed her so much on the US version.

DR Jane while I"m waiting for the newest D.D Warren book (lisa gardner series), I started reading her FBI Profiler series. I'd read that the first book (The Perfect Husband) was just so-so. But that it introduced the FBI profiler from the series.

So I read it. And I'd agree it was okay but definitely the weakest book i've read of hers (it is really old). But I think it's important to read the book to meet the profiler. Well now i've read the second book in the series "The Third victim" and it was a lot better. I'm glad that i have the 3rd book ( The Next Accident).

I'm going to go to the library tomorrow to pick up a movie. And right now books 4 and 5 are in. So I will see if they are still there and get them.

Btw, my library is going completely online starting middle of september. So i will be able to reserve, and renew books online (not that i renew books very often). But i will be so happy to be able to reserve and suggest books on the computer!

Ugh, I'm in full empathy with you: lower back pain is the pits. People basically see doctors for two reasons: colds and back pain, and doctors are equally effective at treating both... :(

My experience has been that it'll go away when it's good and ready. There are some painkillers that work (Skelaxin helped once for me), but by and large it just sucks. Hope you feel better soon!

My lower back pain comes and goes.  But I think I've learned to prevent it from happening.  Like making sure I sit on a stool or a bench high enough when I play piano, (I've learned to take my own rock n' sock chair with me to gigs) I don't sit on the floor much, and always try and sit with my back supported.  But like most back issues, they come and go at will.

I survived my first rehab session without having a heart attack or breaking my neck on the treadmill.  It went quite well and I was glad that I'd been steadily increasing my walking time here at home.  Afterwards, we went to Target, where I bought myself a new iPod to use for entertainment (music, video) and a watch with a timer.  I will now use my older iPod for audiobooks so I don't have to pay attention to Fox News, which is on the TV monitors at the rehab gym  :P

DotM is lurking again and comprehends not why I am harassing it. My feeling is simply this: whatever sex DotM may be, it is neither an asset to the membership and appears to be, like a vulture, lurking for something to peck at. Since its only post is from Nov 10, 2007, and a rather harsh reaction to the removal of three earlier posts, I see no reason to be welcoming or generous to this liability.

As I've already stated, there is no question who DotM is.  She has made only one post under that name, and several under other names, two of which you know, and one of which was the main moniker.  We'll see how this plays out.

I had a wonderful time viewing with David Wechter and his friend Briana - the latter is a well-respected film editor (she's done a LOT of well-known TV and is currently editing some hit Lifetime series).  What this will all probably lead to is Kritzerland's first foray into Blu and Ray.

Post by: bk on August 25, 2010, 06:13:10 PM
After the viewing we went to nearby Marie Callendar's and we each had pie - me having the coconut cream - thankfully a fairly small slice.  Since I'd only had the matzo brei and toast earlier, I think it's all fine, and I will jog shortly, despite the 105 degree heat.

I have muscle relaxers. Only thing is I don't do well with medication.  So tonight I took a little more than 1/3 of a pill.  I hope that it will make the tension in my back go away so i can sleep. But i suspect i will be groggy all day tomorrow. Fingers crossed it won't be that bad. But often even if i take half a pill my body ends up feeling slightly numb and i'm out of it.

The musical director for our first Gardenia show called (he's out of town) to tell me I had misunderstood and that he won't be back until Monday evening.  Well, no, I did not misunderstand - he told me he'd be available to rehearse on Monday and that is what I told everyone - in fact, we discussed it with at least one singer while rehearsing last week.  So, he's Xeroxing charts on Friday and Fed Exing them to me for Saturday delivery.  Richard Berent, the MD of the Brain, will fill in for Monday, so at least the two singers who actually haven't run any of their material, will get to.  Then Tuesday we'll rehearse the whole thing, and people can come early or stay later to work as much as they want to be comfortable.
