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

ASK BK
RE: silent films
Did the studios send out a music score to be played along side the film or did the person/people improvise to what was happening on the screen?
I think it would be an interesting experiment if some company who releases silent films, create a separate audio track that would allow you to choose the music (public domain) to score the different scenes. e.g. A chase scene could use The William Tell Overture. The various choice could be at the bottom of the screen and one would use their remote to choose the music.

Good morning, all! I am in a great mood today; I'm seeing the new musical ONCE at the New York Theatte Workshop. It's sold out for the entire run which ends on Jan 7, and on Feb 28, the production will transfer to Broadway. I'm a big fan of the film, and I hope the musical is half as good. Report at 5.
I'm meeting my friend Rob at noon for lunch before the show, and until then I will work on the ROBERTA scores. That's my day.
Ron and Dona Raines are having their Christmas brunch after all, it seems, although Charlotte had posted several weeks ago that it was off. I've got to finish shopping for them, and I need to find a god new fantasy novel for Charlotte. Thoughts to occupy my waking hours.

Good morning, all.

It's been decades since I thought of "Dear Brigitte." I would love to see it again. I remember enjoying it when I was a kid.
I loved Ed Wynn in "Mary Poppins," but I agree that he could be grating. Still, I have an autographed self-portrait in doodle hanging in my work room, although I see it's hidden by DVDs at the moment.
-
Cherry loaves sound great. Will have to look for a recipe for something like that. Any more details? Pie cherries or dried? Nuts?
-
"Dear Brigitte" has always been one of my favorites.
-
I have some kind of minor eye infection or something that is making my eyes swollen......most becoming.
-
DR ELMORE we will expect a full ONCE report.

MR BK's phone sounds wonderful. My cell phone takes pictures.

I love SEVEN CHANCES!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b4VeOhqqFs
I guess you should know before watching the clip that Julian Eltinge was a female impersonator.
-
Oh I had mixed Cindy Carol up with Candy Moore of The Lucy Show.....
-
"Dear Brigitte" has always been one of my favorites.
Me too. Good to know that the German Blu is of good quality.
-
I had stupidly forgotten to bring the Christmas cards with me which I'd intended to hand out at the reunion lunch, so I have just had to mail them.
-
Loads of shopping today. I seem to have run out of everything - the fridge is emply!
-
Wednesday morning greetings! The butter is softening for the first of 3 varieties of Christmas cookies. I will spend the better part of the next 4 days in the kitchen and at the package-wrapping table.
-
Glove recovery vibes for DR GINNY.
At least you didn't throw them in the mailbox!
-
I don't believe I've ever seen SEVEN CHANCES, though I do have it in a Keaton box set I got years ago. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend.
I do love THE GENERAL and STEAMBOAT BILL, JR.
-
Glove recovery vibes for DR GINNY.
At least you didn't throw them in the mailbox!
Thanks, JRand, but they're gone - probably on some homeless person who will show up today in my former workplace...
My best bet is to go to Target and get a new pair.

BK, you share initials with another BK, one who may or may not be married to JMK. :)

We had a nice first night of Chanukah last night. I gave Betsy a collection of politically incorrect gifts which I dare not even describe here, other than to say it's been an inside joke for most of this year and something which she finds appalling, but she did laugh heartily.
Yesterday XM's Chanukah channel started, and I had to laugh when the late Debbie Friedman's Latke Song came on. Christmas songs are usually wonderfully poetic; the Latke Song's lyric contains the timeless chorus "I am a latke/I am a latke/You must eat me for Chanukah."
-
Shocking!
-
I was optimistic on my price when we were discussing movie posters earlier this week.....Attack of the 50 Foot Woman....half sheet poster on EBAY.....BIN Price.....$3999 - if anyone is still looking for a present for me.
-
DR DRUXY....if you are a Keaton fan from those other two films.....I do think that you will enjoy SEVEN CHANCES immensely!!!
-
In yesterday's mail I received my 2012 American Library Association membership card. Under "Years of Continuous Membership" it says 40. How did that happen?
-

You're doing better than me. I hope to get mine out by New Year's. And those are just to family.

I think a 50-foot woman might be cheaper.

One more.

One gift I gave Betsy which I can mention is the sweet little William Wegman DVD called Hardly Gold, featuring his iconic Weimeraners. The main feature is no great shakes, but it has some sweet extras that Betsy loved when I got a review copy years ago. That copy had disappeared somewhere along the way, so I contacted the studio and purchased a new one.
-
DR ELMORE we will expect a full ONCE report.
I will shortly head out. I have to pay my cell phone bill at Verizon and then head down to the lower east side.

Open Google in a new page and type let it snow into the search space.....and watch

BK, what a thoughtful gift from your daughter. Love it!
-
My kindle has arrived. Hopefully i can figure out how to register it and make it work.
-
I am worried about driving tonight. There is supposed to be freezing rain. I really hope it won't be bad. My sister's house is only 10 minutes away. But i hate freezing rain. :(
-
BK, re: people calling before nine. I guess it depends on who you are calling. You should remind people that you are not a morning person. Because otherwise i think that most people think that anytime after 9am is good.

I was sitting in the conservatory wondering why it was so cold and realised that the electric convector heater wasn't working. After checking it out, I found it was completely dead so I went out and bought a new one. Got it home, unpacked it and found a massive dent in the side. Took it back for a replacement and have just got back home and can sit in the conservatory in the warm again. So that took up all the afternoon!
-
I'm up and must be on my way to meet the helper at the storage facility.
-
I watched the Alfred Hitchcock Hour on EncoreSuspense last night (two episodes every night at 10 pm. and 11 p.m. Mon-Fri).....this is an episode I had never seen....with Robert Keith and Edd Byrnes and Stephen McNally.....
I really did see the "surprise" ending coming....BUT there was an additional twist that was still shocking.....
Does anyone else remember seeing this episode? It was called "Final Escape."
-
The Jar was on Tuesday night.....still creepy.
-
So far I am loving my kindle! And it came with a plug. So i'm thinking i can charge it in the wall (vs in the computer).
I was able to connect it to my wifi, register it (all on the actual kindle). And since i have a giftcard in my account i can just order the books on my actual kindle. And it takes 2 seconds. I ordered the 2 x 99 cents novellas by my favorite author that are not available for purchase.
Btw, did anybody else know you can type in -doman (with the dash) in the amazon.com search and it shows you all kinds of free books!
I didn't think i would like the keyboard. But i do. It lets me search and buy on the kindle!
I still don't know how to web browse. And not sure whether i am supposed to charge it or wait till battery is dead. Anybody know?

Jennifer, I don't think you have to wait until the battery is dead to charge it. I haven't, but HERE (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_krec_docs?nodeId=200317150) is the link to the Kindle Documentation page. I would assume that it's the same for Canada, but there should at least be an equivalent page on amazon.ca.
-
And I didn't know about the "-domain" search! I'll certainly be using that!

I hear if you type in -domani you get all sorts of Riz Ortolani results. ;)

From Bruce:
The darling daughter doesn't have a lot of dough, so this year she made me two cherry loaves - based on a recipe of her Aunt Jean - something I used to absolutely go bonkers for every Christmas during the married years. Aunt Jean still made me a cherry loaf every year for about five years even after the deevorce but I haven't had one in twenty-six years. I just had a piece now and I have just sent my daughter a text (which I did by speaking into my phone "Send Jennifer a text" which it promptly did as I dictated it) - "Cherry loaf - best present ever - eating it now".
:D :D :D

Does anybody here know anything about the comic book or graphic novel publishing business?
Somebody has approached me about the possibility of turning one of my screenplays into a graphic novel, and I know absolutely nothing about these kinds of publishing deals (i.e. percentage splits, rights granted, etc.).

That's pretty darned cool!

But DR DRUXY it is exciting news....and after you do it, then we will ALL know something.
-
Is it a screenplay that was produced that we might know about?
-
Some days I feel like Buster Keaton being chased down the hill by those boulders.
That was one of the funniest scenes ever. I've seen a tinted print of Seven Chances but I've never seen it with the early Technicolor opening.
-
The latest Cinema Retro magazine has a brief but nice review of the Summer and Smoke CD and praises Kritzerland on its 100th release. There's also a fabulous article by Sir Christopher Frayling, with many illustrations, about How the West Was Won and an article about Cinerama and the Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm.
-
Is it a screenplay that was produced that we might know about?
Not produced, but it's a good story and it should make a good graphic novel.
I will keep you informed.

Very slow day at work. I guess I miss the non-stop book writing, class world.

I have returned from East Fourth Street, and the trip was very worthwhile. I always regretted seeing RENT in its original Off-Off-Broadway home, and I am happy to be one of the lucky few to see ONCE there. The movie is a glorious film, filled with yearning and unrequited love sublimated into music writing and making. The new musical is a really fine translation of the film into another medium. Roles have been changed, enlarged, and expanded to fill out the book, but the essentials remain the same: the Dublin Guy meets the Czech Girl with the broken Hoover vacuum cleaner while he's performing as a singer on the street. She plays piano and the friendship begins. He misses his girl who left him and moved to New York (I think it's London in the film) and she's got a daughter by a husband who's back in the Czech Republic.
If you haven't seen the film, I recommend it highly, for the story, the cast, and the Dublin locales. I like the score very much, and most of it, with about 3 or 4 new songs make up the score of the show. When you enter the theatre, the cast is warming up with Irish pub songs, and everyone, except for the Guy and the Girl, plays several instruments: Andy Taylor, in the expanded role of the bank loan office, plays mandolin, guitar, and cello, and he's wonderful. The lady playing the Girl's Czech mother plays melodica, and accordion.
I think one of the reasons the show works so well is that neither Steve Kazee nor Cristin Milioti resembles the film actors and songwriters, so we're not stuck in a NINE TO FIVE attempt to replicate Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, or Jane Fonda, or LEGALLY BLONDE's needing a Reese Witherspoon. They're both wonderful and they break your heart.
The cast, for most of the play, sit on the sides of the action and play and sing as the show's orchestra, and their unaccompanied choral sound is perfect for the scene on the beach when the demo CD the Guy is making is finished. My friend Rob and I had great seats in the second row from the last; we sat in front of Norbert Leo Butz, Aaron Tveit, and Tara Rubin (I think).
-
Sounds like fun, Elmore. I love that movie, too. Low-key charmer.
-
Well, I'm leaving work. Will check in later.
-
So, what's for dinner?
-

I had chicken kiev and fries. But I soon felt hungry after that so I made a ham and tomato sandwich.

Ham on rye with swiss, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. Yum!

I'm up, I'm up... And I've already played one show today.

DR Jennifer - keep your Kindle's wireless turned OFF except when you need it. Saves the battery...
Correct! AND don't leave the wireless option turned on...that uses more battery power than if it's turned off, too.
What is the difference between keeping the wireless off. And Don't leave the wireless on that uses more battery than if it's turned off??
I am leaving the wireless on off whenever i'm not browsing. But i love being able to browse in bed!
-
So, what's for dinner?
I had the Manakintowne Salad and Cornmeal Encrusted Oysters at TJ's in the Jefferson Hotel.

DR George. the link you gave is the same as the instructions on my kindle. But i didn't see any mention about charging it. Do you see anything about that? How many bars does yours usually have when you charge it. And how long do you charge it for.
Mine came with a plug for the wall. So i am just going to charge it that way. Although not sure how long to do it for (is overnight fine?).

When you're using the wireless to search/browse, that's fine. It's if you're just reading, then you don't want to have the wireless on because it uses more battery power. The website where I got mine says, "A single charge lasts up to one month with wireless off. Keep wireless always on and go for up to three weeks without recharging."
-
*And I was once again reminded of the crazy food and restaurant tax in the City of Richmond. There's the Virginia State Tax + City of Richmond Tax + City of Richmond Food Tax (a.k.a. The Baseball Stadium Tax). All in all, I think it comes to something like 14.5%!!! -Which, on the bright side(?), makes it easy to figure out the tip.
-
DR Jane, my sister called and said not to come. So i'm going tomorrow instead. It's just as well since i really hate freezing rain.
-
OK...
Time to clear out out of the coffee shop and head back to the theatre to warm up for tonight's show.
Laters...

I have made a batch of shortbread cut-outs that we'll decorate tomorrow afternoon when DN/G Lauren comes for a visit. Rob and Mary Linda were here for a while before heading off to a potluck dinner at their church. Richard and I had chicken tortilla soup and grilled cheese sandwiches and I'm about to make a batch of pecan snowball cookies.

Okay thanks DR George, i will always keep wireless off unless i am browsing the kindle store.
You can even do -domain on your actual kindle.

Mine came with a plug for the wall. So i am just going to charge it that way. Although not sure how long to do it for (is overnight fine?).
The Kindle user's guide says that it should take less than three hours to fully charge it and the charge indicator light (at the on/off switch) will turn green when the battery is fully charged. The battery icon at the top right will have a line making it look like it's broken to indicate that the battery isn't fully charged.
The "bars" are indicators of how powerful your wi-fi connection is.

Or just charge it more often. ;D I usually charge my Nook every morning. For our trip I have turned the wireless off & am hoping I have enough battery for the wait in the airport & our 8 hour flight.

Well, I guess vacation didn't start today. I went to storage, got the charts, got them Xeroxed, have chosen and/or assigned almost all the songs, had lunch with Alet, and have been trying vainly to organize the CD closet and got half the stuff in there off the floor. I would venture to say there's probably 150 CDs there that are still sealed. I don't know when I'll have the chance to listen, and I think I'm just going to take some of the marginal stuff I get free and go trade it in because I know I won't like it (most of the cheesy 80s stuff).

Only one tiny package today.

My wife and I just finished listening to THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE.
We loved it. The songs were some of the best I've heard in some time. Very moving.
However, I can understand why the show would not be a success.

And now, as it thunders and rains outside, I wish you all good night.

I think I just broke the big toe of my right foot. It hurts like hell even after taking a vicodin. I can bend it so maybe its not broken but OUCH!!!!!
-
I think I will listen to BK production of COPENHAGEN before I got to sleep tonight.

Yes, that should put you to sleep very quickly :)
-
And why are we still on page five?
-
That is most unseemly and not very holiday-like.

I broke my big toe once. It wasn't fun, but I rather liked walking with a cane
-
Well, we're on page 6 now.

Just got home from a solstice party. Nice to see everyone. I'm tired...night. I's snowing, but won't last. It's been in the 40s all week and will be probably until New Years. What a bizarre winter.
-
I'm so hungry but I'm really trying not to eat anything else tonight. Difficult. I had a breakfast burrito at noon - had a bit of guacamole on it but not that much food. Had a bit of the cherry loaf, Fruity Snacks and a couple of Bonbel low-fat cheese things - but I'm still really really hungry. I could actually make another egg burrito - just use one tortilla and one egg - not too much damage and would probably do the trick.

Good Evening!
Well...
So...
-
I just got back from Target...
-
...And Toys'R'Us...
-
...And Wal-Mart...
-
Alas, I still have to track down one more item the Wish List for my nieces and nephew. Thankfully, two of my nieces specifically asked for cash and/or gift cards. I'm hoping to hit another Target in the morning - in a few hours - to procure the last item.
-
OH!
And when I got back to my parents' house a couple of minutes ago, I stumbled on something that was left on the stairs. It turned out to be an envelope from DR elmore! -Thank You! *And thanks for not sending your usual "stuff" since my parents opened it. -Well, I hope you didn't send your usual "stuff". ::)
-
Of course, once I got to Wal-Mart I was just running on fumes... And since I couldn't track down the one thing I was still looking for, well... Oohh! Mallomars!... Terra Chips... Cranberry Ginger Ale... Snack Mix... Eyeglass cleaning cloths... Etc., etc., etc.
-
And, of course, the woman in front of me, after paying most of her purchase off with a $100 gift card, paid the balance of her purchase - all $15.85 of it - in change. Mainly nickels. At first I was annoyed, but then it was sort of entertaining watching the cashier trying to add up all of those coins.
-
Oh...
And it's currently 63 degrees here in Richmond!
Where were those 63 degree evenings when I was in L.A.?!?!?
::)
-
And...
Goodnight.

Well, I'm off. I'm working concessions for a performance by The Klezmatics (http://wcpa.squarespace.com/upcoming-events/2011/12/21/the-klezmatics.html). I won't get to see the whole performance, but I'm sure that I'll get to see a lot of it. It should be a great show!
Be back later. :D
Well, I didn't get to see a lot of the show, but what I saw was cherce! They were very good, the audience loved them and we sold all of two glasses of wine...and no beer! From a concessions point of view, it was really weird. Not that there's anything wrong with people not drinking, but I've never worked concessions and served alcohol and practically NO ONE bought any. Obviously, they only came to see the show...and they loved it. :D
