Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fried, and now it is time for you to post until the fried cows come home.

Well, I'm back from seeing "Florence Foster Jenkins," and then went to Applebee's for dinner.  I'm now home, have checked my e-mails, and watched last night's episode of "Another Period."

"Florence Foster Jenkins" was very good!  I agree with everything that Larry said last night.  Highly recommended.

The acting was very good.  The costumes were wonderful.  The one thing I noticed was that EVERY car, even the cabs, were all shiny and clean and waxed.  I didn't notice a single dirty car in the entire movie.

Spoiler alert:  at the end of the movie, they had her sing beautifully in her mind.  Meryl Streep sang it very well.

Yes, he played her husband, but he was living with his girlfriend.

Last evening, I thought that "Florence Foster Jenkins" was playing at the Capitol Mall cinemas, but fortunately I spoke with Margo before I left work and she told me that it was at the Regal Cinemas in Lacey.  Whew!  Disaster averted!

Capitol Mall, but it's not much farther...just a few miles more on the freeway, but closer to the freeway exit.

I couldn't have gotten more than five hours sleep.  Didn't even start falling asleep till 1:30 in the a.m., and was fully awake by 6:45.

TOD:

I've had a few bad computer experiences, but the grand prize winner is that last one, with the water dripping into the laptop sitting on my desk.  The good news was that the hard drive was fine, and it was removed for me and given a case with a USB connector so I could easily transfer stuff to a new computer.  But the initial couple of days, prior to having the replacement and the hard drive accessible, were hell.  Not to mention dealing with the source of the dripping water.  Oy!

Some drizzly rain this morning has already foiled plans for any outdoors work.  Maybe this afternoon.

They did the same in the play Souvenir that played on Broadway with Judy Kaye. The Cosmo charater (the pianist and the only other character in the play) wondered what she was hearing in her head when she sang. I knew how beautifullly Judy Kaye could sing and it was interesting to hear and see the reactions of the people around me afterwards. I got to see her after the show and told her the other people's reactions when she sang Ava Maria. She told me see got a lot of that.
