Well, you've read the notes, the notes told you all you needed to know about an evening with Steve, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently seeing an evening with The Cowsills.
-
And the word of the day is: BACCATE!
-
To which I can only say: CRANBERRIES!
-
First post following BK, at 7:30 in the morning? Well, I'm up early for a Saturday because I've got a long day ahead of me away from the house. Back late tonight, at which time I'll ketchup.
-
Good morning, all! No word from Dublin this morning, so I sent a polite email asking if there was any luck on locating the carton.We'll see what happens. Perhaps I will get a nice response before I go ballistic.
BK, I got Steve a Pulitzer Prize but he hasn't recognized me since 1991 or so! The last time I saw him, I think his priority was getting to the bar.
As for Ms Ebersole, from my experience with her at the Chicago Humanities Festival several years ago, it's all about her. She was neither a team player in Chicago nor pleasant to be around, although she was wonderful in the numbers she bothered to learn.
I am off to the McGlinnventry.
-
Enjoyed reading about the Sondheim Evening with MR BK and JH.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Last night's audience was not as enthusiastic but there were MORE people there. Tonight's house is smaller - only about 2/3rds but hopefully they will be LOUD!!
-
Thanks to all for the continued vibes and wishes.
Today is a half day at work.....oh well.
-
TOD: I don't have a specific experience in mind that's worth relating, but I think there's just about nothing like having a lousy restaurant experience -- and feeling ripped off in the process.
I think most of these times -- probably not all, but most of them -- have been something I could sense upon entering the jernt. Sometimes I've been with someone for some special occasion or something, and have no say about the venue. Those times, you're just stuck. But other times, I'll sense it but go immediately into denial, telling myself I'm going to make the best of it, choose what I eat with great care, etc., etc., etc., but "best of it" just doesn't happen and the whole experience sucks, and you're left saying "that's one (hour, meal, expense, whatever) that I'll never get back." I think restaurants are kind of unique in having the power to do this to you.
-
Off to work. Oh well.
-
Is something wrong with the website this morning? At moments it's unreachable, while all my others still are, and posting seems not to be working too well. For instance, several minutes ago I posted (and saw it posted) something to the effect of "Very much enjoyed reading the tale of An Evening With Steve." So here it is again.
-
good morning, all.
And a round of vibes on me to those who need 'em.
-
TOD: There are too many to mention. I think one of the worst was on my first night in San Antonio. I had moved here to be the newspaper's dining critic and my first meal in town was at a Tex-Mex place that served (and still serves) the most butt ugly food imaginable. I can still remember the refrieds tasted as if someone had dropped a bottle of liquid smoke in them and then microwaved them with metal inside. They were molten lava 10 minutes after I finished the rest of the meal, of which I did not eat a lot. Even the margarita was lousy.
I seriously thought I had made a mistake in moving here. And, as it turned out, my next five or six meals were also sub-par.
-
Off for a day of adventure. Going over to Phoenixville, PA, where THE BLOB was filmed, to see that and THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL in the Colonial Theatre. This is their annual Blobfest, and my first time for it. You DRs may expect a full report.
-
Interesting notes on your close personal friend, BK. Makes such statements all the more revealing. Did he say if he's working on something new (a "Sunday in the Park" reference)?
-
Now I'm thinking the problem might indeed be my own connection. Anyway, adventure calls. Back late tonight.
-
Pictures, please, ChasSmith.
Blobfest sounds fun.
-
I had my morning post all done, hit post and was told I couldn't connect with the site so I lost it. :(
Here is what I can remember of said post:
Good morning all!
Glad that DR John G's mum had a great birthday. I didn't think about it last night but it was also Harrison Ford's birthday as well. Don't know why I know that but I hope he had a happy one as well.
Vibes to DR Elmore that the folks in Dublin wake up and tell him about the package. Poop on them if they do not!
Hoping that DR Jrand has a full audience that shows their appreciation by being LOUD tonight!
Today won't be so great for me. I have to leave in just a little bit to have a spiral KUB done. I'm not sure what that is. I've had KUB's done before but never heard one called spiral before. Should be interesting.
This afternoon I will attend the memorial service for Thelma's friend, John.
For what ever reason, both Sheena and Toby are in a "talking" mood this morning. Sheena is normally my "talker" but Toby is joining in today. I guess they want me to stay home with them and are letting me know. I wish I could.
Have a wonder filled day with lots of vibes and happy happenings~
I hit copy just in case this doesn't make to post.
-
I see it made it. Hoo and Ray!!!!!
-
So it's not just my connection. (I copied my last couple of posts, too, just in case.) (Now to copy this one, because it is of particular brilliance and I don't think any of us would be happy if we lost it.)
And NOW I'm leaving. I said I was leaving before, but this time I'm really REALLY leaving. VIBES for a good day to all.
-
Interesting notes on your close personal friend, BK. Makes such statements all the more revealing. Did he say if he's working on something new (a "Sunday in the Park" reference)?
I don't know how involved he is, but a director in California is doing something with his work and the poetry of Bukowski. I can hardly wait.
-
Greetings from the McGlinnventory!
I spoke to Fed Ex; this information is not on their tracking site, but the girlfriend of Jonathan, one of our Dublin producer, picked up the package yesterday, and no one bothered to let me know. I sent an email about the situation and my unhappiness.
-
Now I have to cart the McGlinn materials going to the Library of Congress over to Toyland for shipping. I'm not trusting the mail room ladies here after their last two shipments to Dublin.
-
Saturday morning greetings! I woke up about 7am and have just finished reading Mr. Churchill's Secretary by Susan Elia MacNeal. It's my selection for my book group's London Roundabout and it took on even more relevance when the January trip to London & Norwich appeared on our radar screen. I learned a lot of London geography while enjoying a good story that's the first in a series.
After several days of playing, today I must grocery shop for our household.

Yes, if you have New York Times access, here's the New York Times report on the Bukowski - Sondheim project

And The Song Of The Day Is: STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER
-
I'm up, I'm up and have been up for an hour, which is really irritating.
-
Sondheim said he is working on something new and I think it's been reported already - he and playwright David Ives are musicalizing an Ives one-act Steve saw years ago, maybe from All in the Timing.
-
Enjoyed reading about the Sondheim Evening with MR BK and JH.
Me, too.
"Oh, hi Bruce!"
::)
-
The more I think about last night, he probably thought I was one of the group of people who were donors. I don't know what he thought, but I am bringing it up - he knew I was coming backstage because HE arranged it.
-
I've started working on a new play; a multiple character one about Hollywood Legends.
No, I'm not going to reveal the names of the subjects, but it is a very juicy story.
::)
-
We watched THE DEVIL'S DOUBLE last night.
Though it contains some brutal, very disturbing scenes, it's an excellent film with a terrific performance by Dominic Cooper.

More news from Dublin: Jonathan's father and partner were broken into last night, beaten up with crow bars and interrogated by armed raiders. I feel so sorry for him! I'm waiting for further news.

MBarnum, I can't remember if anyone told you but "Smash" had a Bollywood scene. It's in the episode Publicity and it's about 25 minutes, if you want to fast-forward to it.

DR Elmore, this sounds very similar to what happened to Loyce's friends here in town. Remember they were telling us about it at a party a few Christmases back?
-
Back from various and sundried doings and goings. I went and had bacon and eggs and toast. Then I took a rather brisk and energizing two-and-a-half mile walk west on Ventura Blvd. I never do that, so it was kind of pleasant, actually. Then I went to Staples for a few supplies, then did some errands and whatnot, picked up no packages, and am now home, wilted from the humidity and heat, which is high in both instances.
-
Last night's forecast was for an improvement in the weather. I wonder, therefore, why it was that I woke up with torrential rain and it's continued raining for most of the day.
-
Had another fun day filing masses of paper.
-
I have been watching the British sitcom MIRANDA. Lots of slapstick. I think it's a hoot.

I just came across this article: Judy Kuhn and Melissa Errico Cast in ‘Passion’ Revival (http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/19/judy-kuhn-and-melissa-errico-cast-in-passion-revival/)!
I remember when I first heard of Melissa Errico and at times I really thought that I was listening to Judy Kuhn. I think that they have very similar voices...and I love them both. :D
-
I guess I owe the folks in dublin an apology.
-
John had a nice service. I met a lot of good people there who knew him.
-
I found out I misread the script the doctor gave me. I thought it said "spiral KUB" but the way it was on the script was
spiral
KUB
In other words 2 different tests. Who knew?
The tech sure thought it was funny that I came up with a whole new kind of test.

You are allowed to go to California - without a passport.

Still on Page 2?
Oh, no no no, this will not do!
-
I finished Season 1 of MIRANDA, and I'll watch Season 2 tonight/
-
After that, I'll read a bit of the new Lorenz Hart biography and go to bed.
-
I'm raking two books to Ireland forreading on the plane and other free moments: HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY and Jack Finney's TIME AND AGAIN, which I read in 1979 and remember nothing about it now.
-
!!! # !!!
-
And about time, too!
-
I'm having some soup for dinner.
-
From DR John G:
Jane, your Sam is featured in a fun musical number staged to "Dance to the Music" in an episode called "The Coup." Great fun.
Thank you. I'll look for it.
-
DR Matthew I'm glad you had a nice evening.
-
DR George, thank you for the PM. At some point soon I'll attempt it.
-
And it's time to have some soup!

DR Jennifer when I put a hold on the eBook GONE GIRL there were 54 holds for one book at the library. Now there are 113. Since there is only one book in the system I think it will be awhile before I read it.

Page three? Do I need to do something CONTROVERSIAL?

I've had a nice, relaxing day - took a half-hour swim, and watched a Maria Wern movie - I'll watch another now.
-
Hello, everyone.
Let's just say that I don't wish to repeat last week.
-
Vibes to DR Elmore's friends and colleagues in Dublin. Horrible incident.
-
The press here makes it sound like all of London is in lockdown. DR Doug is now the HHW "man on the ground" in London. Isn't that the phrase they used to use?
-
BK's interest in Swedish films made me think I might like to read a Swedish mystery. I chose Camilla Lackberg's THE ICE PRINCESS. It took me 100 pages to get interested, and then I "speed read" the last 150 pages. Interesting story, but IMHO it really needs some tightening.

A couple of days ago I got an e-mail from a lady looking to sell a Follies poster with the great BYRD art. She asked if I could steer her somewhere to sell it - I asked her for a photo and told her I could find her a buyer in ten seconds and to send me the price she wanted. This is no ordinary poster - this is a 4 foot by 6 foot huge subway poster - it's amazing. I bought it in ten seconds. Just have to figure out how to safely ship from NY to LA - I told her to go to a UPS Store kind of place and that I knew it would probably cost a hundred or more to ship, but they know how to do it. If it's a professional shipper the glass will be fine - if not, I'll have her remove the glass and I'll replace that here.
-
I'd have her take the glass out, BK.
I sent my mother's sewing machine to my sister and I had UPS pack it and insure it. I paid $99, and it arrived broken, and they refused to repair it.
-
Tack.
-
I'm thinking she'll go to a pro art shipper who will know how to pack art. I've sent glassed stuff before and it arrives fine - you just have to know what you're doing.
-
Ok. I know I will not trust UPS again. I sent lots of fragile glass that I packed myself to my sister and nothing broke. The one thing I had UPS send broke.
-

The Swedish vampire novel, LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, is amazing.
-
VIBES FOR DR JEANNE!!!
-
I have the Lackberg book here but haven't read it, obviously - I'm trying to find the movie with subtitles. I love the Swedish film of Let the Right One In.
-
Tonight we are going to watch THE ARTIST. The tv is larger in Craig's room so I figure it will be a good movie to watch in there.
-
'night

This morning I went to Sioux Falls to visit my brother. He's doing well but has a really long way to go. He was very glad to have me keep him company, but also didn't get much sleep last night so he was very tired. When he has company, he chats and apologizes when he falls asleep. I finally suggested that I should leave so he could sleep all afternoon before his wife came back. He decided that was a good idea. I'm really glad I went.
-
The associated press called my office about a new client, but I wasn't there so I was mentioned as not returning their call, lolghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhcx\
that last line was Ricky walking across the keyboard
-
I went to the jail when I got back because I didn't have time on Friday to go visit the same client. I was very glad to find out he bonded out so my guilt at not visiting yesterday when I was really pooped out, was eased somewhat
-
Last night I watched Abraham Lincoln v. The Zombies. It gave me a whole new view of history :)
-
This afternoon was REALLY hot out. After lunch I came home and ended up taking a 5 hour nap. If I was that tired I can't imagine how tired everyone who was with David for the past few days must be. He told them not to go back to Sioux Falls tonight so they can get rest.
-
Just had a text from him. He's thanked me for visiting and is going to bed now.
-
The cats slept with me all day. It was nice.

Bra.

I want to check for the northern lights tongiht, but I'm afraid it will be cloudy

Is that for real, Cilla, or are you kidding around? Am i being a humorless yutz, or are you saying when they say so-and-so didn't return our request for comment like it's a big deal, all it means is that they made a call and they didn't reach the person and didn't wait to hear back yet before they went right to press??????? Maybe I'm just being humorless (meaning that I think what the AP does is ridiculous, that is)

Vibes for a better week ahead.

Watching "Pennies from Heaven" for the first time in years. The Steve Martin version. It's not as good as the original, but it really sweeps me up in it. I remember the day it opened, I sat through it twice back to back.

It's an AP story. I don't think it's a big deal that I didn't return the call, but they put it in the article. But if you're asking what happened, they left a message on my voicemail late Friday afternoon and I didn't get the message until this afternoon. It was in the paper this morning. It just means what it says, that you haven't returned the call.

I'm kinda surprised though that they mentioned you by name. That seems odd to me.

Am i being a humorless yutz, or are you saying when they say so-and-so didn't return our request for comment like it's a big deal, all it means is that they made a call and they didn't reach the person and didn't wait to hear back yet before they went right to press??????? Maybe I'm just being humorless (meaning that I think what the AP does is ridiculous, that is)

It's an AP story. I don't think it's a big deal that I didn't return the call, but they put it in the article.
I'm kinda surprised though that they mentioned you by name. That seems odd to me.
I was surprised at that too. The message was from an AP reporter from Des Moines. That's a bit unusual as well.

I'm fading fast. I think I'll have to turn in. Night, all.
-
Just struck me as strange journalistically. Not wrong factually per se, just somehow leaving a wrong impression or insinuation, somehow.
-
I guess I didn't take it in a negative way, but then I was the one who didn't return the call :)

Oh, OK!
-
Well, at least it added some posts. That should make BK happy.
-
Yes it did add some posts
-
But we're still only on page 5
-
Trying to decide whether I want to go out and see if the northern lights are visible
-
Or if I want to sit here
-
Or if I want to go to sleep
-
Since I doubt the lights are in full bloom here, sleep just may win out
-
I've decided I need to start getting healthy again
-
Not really looking forward to it
-
I hate to diet and exercise
-
But, it's what I need to do and I know it
-
Since we have another excessive heat warning, I may just do the treadmill in the morning
-
I doubt anyone is particularly interested in this
-
But it is adding posts to the days total
-
I can't believe I'm tired after taking a 5 hour nap, but I am
-
We're getting closer to another page
-
I don't know if I can get us there, but I'll try
-
vibes to everyone who needs them
-
Vibes to everyone who wants them

Vibes to everyone

Boo is staring at me and I'm not sure why
-
Oh, she wanted to cuddle, she doesn't want to do that very often
-
I think we're getting close
-
Almost there
-
Is this page 6?
-
My work is done here
-
Thank you Cilla, for your work here.
:D

I'm watching the Oscar Hammerstein II documentary, "Out of My Dreams," on PBS. I'm recording it, but there have been a couple of goobers...just little pauses in the broadcast that freeze the show for a couple of seconds.
-
I hate it when that happens. :P
-
Finished with my viewing, have prepped Monday morning's eBlast and shall write some notes shortly.
-
Just sent my e-mail to Mr. Sondheim. I have no idea how he'll react and I no longer care, but I let him have it about his dismissive behavior to someone who has, for twenty-two years now, been doing an awful lot of Sondheim projects.

Hopefully, it's not something like Alzheimer's. :-\
I think that both my grandmothers had it...I know that my dad's mom did.

Nah...can't be that.
