From last night:
I know we won't rehearse every night, but having that much time to memorize lines will be MOST helpful!

That is my big fear.

I haven't read the script yet, so I don't know how many lines Santa has, but he does have a big production number called "Up On Santa's Lap."  That should be fun! :D

I'm ready to winterize my bed since it got so cold last night, but I know that every time I do this this early, we get a period of veryu warm weather and I swelter, so I will wait.  Around 2:30 I got up and added a quilt and Annabelle crawled under the covers to stay warm.  Thatch bravely slept in the open air next to me.  His coat is longer than Annabelle's so it must keep him warmer.  We'll see if he changes his mind when the temperatures get down to zero.

The feline contingent permitted my getting an extra hour of sleep this morning, bless their pea pickin’ little hearts. And that’s just as well, since I was burning the midnight oils last night — which, as I think we all know, requires being up well past midnight. So it all comes out in the wash, but it feels good nonetheless.

I thought it was about a shift of power from Woodcock to his wife. But I may be misremembering it. I found the movie to be, as we say in Texas, all hat, no cattle.

Last night I planned to watch the last episode if the BBC miniseries of And Then There Were None.  After 15 minutes or so, I decided I hated the production, although the cast was wonderful.  I had been feeling that since the first of the three episodes: too many flashbacks, too damned dark too often, the murders were often vaguely shown, and it didn't grab me like the book.  I'm not sure I like the BBC's current adaptation policies.  I feel they did them better several years ago.

So, I turned it off and wrote a story about Annabelle and Thatch instead.

Winterizing for us is flannel sheets.  It is still a bit too warm for them.  Since I get colder than Keith does I have an extra thin blanket for my side of the bed.  I don't think I will want the extra weight on my arm right now, just like I don't t want extra warmer clothing on it.

Until cut onions are supposed to be stored in a cool dry place, not in the frig, not next to potatoes, and not in an enclosed bag.

I don’t know the right way to store cut onions. What I DO, rightly or wrongly, is store them in a closed plastic container in the fridge.

I said "until" cut.  Uncut onions don't go in a bag.  Cut/open onions go into a container in the frig.

Here's a Sunday kind of question for the likes of DR Elmore. It's not of earthshaking importance, but...

This PC score, as far as I know, is what's still sent out. Is it likely the same handwritten copy -- except for the added orchestral cues, and the note about them on the title page (click to enlarge) -- that I would have first seen in the early 1960s? I just wondered because I'm seeing this copy for the first time in years. I've only had my published score to look at, which btw doesn't include "Ballad of Dependency".

DR ChasSmith, that's the old Tams-Witmark Threepenny Opera score that the Kurt Weill Foundation moved with all the Weill shows to Rodgers & Hammerstein shows.  that's the penmanship of my late friend Dale Kugel. Remind me of your question.
Title: Re: WHEN GOOD ONIONS GO BAD
Post by: ChasSmith on October 14, 2018, 11:32:24 AM
In my experience it takes a long time for onions to go bad. If they're stored uncut at room temperature, at some point they'll get soft and at that point if you cut you'll see the mold. Stored in the fridge, it's more like they just eventually appear soft and mealy. Even then, in a pinch, they've been edible...if bland.

And that helps my memory, because Tams-Witmark is what I would have known in the 1960s.

My question was simply whether that same "hand" is what has been out there all these years. I couldn't imagine it would be copied by hand twice, but I'm happy to see that's what it is, and that it's another Dale Kugel.

I also completely forget why "Dependency" wasn't in the published score.

The original German vocal score from Universal Edition omitted the song because it was too dirty.  It's in the new German edition along with Michael Feingold's English version.

Last night I planned to watch the last episode if the BBC miniseries of And Then There Were None.  After 15 minutes or so, I decided I hated the production, although the cast was wonderful.  I had been feeling that since the first of the three episodes: too many flashbacks, too damned dark too often, the murders were often vaguely shown, and it didn't grab me like the book.  I'm not sure I like the BBC's current adaptation policies.  I feel they did them better several years ago.

So, I turned it off and wrote a story about Annabelle and Thatch instead.

I agree. Thought I might still watch the last 15 minutes just to see how depressing they could make it.

Went to a charity brunch this morning for a young restaurant manager who was in a hit-and-run accident recently. Turns out she had been run over twice and left for dead or for someone to find her. She still faces a number of surgeries but they brought her out to be able to enjoy a little of the party in her honor.

To add to her woes, the hospital she was in decided it no longer wanted to take her insurance, so they kicked her out.

Today's disgusting eBay story:  I'd had a very rare piece of illustration art up twice - and the second time I lowered the price and put a best offer on it with an accept any offer over the lowest I was willing to go, which was the usual twenty percent under what I was asking.  I got an e-mail from a guy - very interested, asking questions, all of which I'd answered.  He tells me he wants to make an offer.  Great.  Auction closes.  He e-mails and says he really wants to make an offer but he has to consult with the wife and can I please relist it.  I don't really want to at this point, but I do - for three days.  Meantime, I get another e-mail from someone else asking questions, which I answer - nothing from him again. 

Auction is one hour from finishing this morning.  First guy finally makes his offer, which is literally 80% less than I'm asking.  I'm surprised he didn't just ask me to give it to him.  I countered with my lowest price which was what I had on the Best Offer as well as asking him if he was really serious making an offer like that.  Needless to say, he strung me along for two weeks and never upped his stupid offer and the auction closed and I am never relisting it again.   I'm also somewhat convinced he was a dealer or gallery and had I sold it to him I guarantee you he would have been asking triple what I was actually asking for it.  I've had it.  I really though he was going to make me a reasonable offer and it would have certainly made life easier for the next few months.  But nooooo.

OMG once is bad enough, but twice.  I am guessing they didn't find the person or people who did this.

I hope she was moved to a good hospital.

That's crap!  Is there a local auction house that you could bring it to (if you'd still actually like to sell it)?  Or some store where it can be sold on consignment?  On Antiques Roadshow, they always say that the retail value is higher than the auction value, and insurance value is higher than retail.

Here's a Sunday kind of question for the likes of DR Elmore. It's not of earthshaking importance, but...

This PC score, as far as I know, is what's still sent out. Is it likely the same handwritten copy -- except for the added orchestral cues, and the note about them on the title page (click to enlarge) -- that I would have first seen in the early 1960s? I just wondered because I'm seeing this copy for the first time in years. I've only had my published score to look at, which btw doesn't include "Ballad of Dependency".


A politically correct score?
