Title: THE LAST OF JUNE
Post by: bk on June 30, 2009, 12:38:27 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes bid a fond farewell to June, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently welcoming in MOOly, the cow version of July.

Post by: George on June 30, 2009, 01:03:30 AM: BK, nice to know that you had a non-annoying day, yesterday. Mine was fairly non-annoying...except for when I went to leave my house. I was woken up at about 7:40 by my doorbell. I ran down the two flights of stairs (while getting dressed along the way) and the person at the door asked if the red car parked next to the garage was mine. It wasn't. He then told me that they would start to tear down all the cedar shingles and then start to put up the new roof. Great! I went back inside, tried to calm down my cat who was very scared of all the noise, took a shower, got dressed and opened my front door to this:

Title: Re: THE LAST OF JUNE
Post by: George on June 30, 2009, 01:07:42 AM: Well, it turns out that the plywood in that last picture was there so that people (me, included) could carefully walk under it and be protected from the roofing material and be able to leave the area. Whew! Fortunately, I had the foresight to park in the back parking section and not be in the way of the roofing trucks. :)

Title: Re: THE LAST OF JUNE
Post by: George on June 30, 2009, 01:29:10 AM: The next few weeks at work will be in flux. :-\ The woman who unpacks EVERYTHING that the library purchases for the patrons (books, CDs, DVDs, talking books, etc.....) has been out on medical leave for the last couple of weeks. She finally came back today but she can't lift anything more than 10 pounds because she might have torn her rotater cuff. She's going for an MRI soon (I don't know how soon, though) and if it requires surgery, she'll be out even longer. The real problem is that the library system is having financial issues (like so many other organizations) and one suggestion to reduce spending money (that was instigated) was to no longer use substitutes for anything but emergencies. This isn't considered an "emergency." So, I spent most of the day unpacking boxes of new items so that my coworker won't have to. My supervisor and I will be doing all the unpacking (no one else in our department really can), so that's what I'll be doing for the next...however long it is that I'll be doing it. I don't really mind because I actually used to do that job (starting back in 1985, though). I just haven't done it in such a long time that I don't have any kind of regular work process. I'm not too efficient, yet.
Title: Re: THE LAST OF JUNE
Post by: George on June 30, 2009, 01:31:28 AM: And now, I'm going to bed. I have no idea when the roofers will start again...nor do I know when they'll actually swap out the skylight. If I'm still in bed (asleep) when they take off the old skylight... :o

Post by: Ben on June 30, 2009, 04:23:39 AM: I will miss the Thursday get together. I would love to see you all but I also will love being on Long Island from Thursday afternoon until Sunday evening not thinking about the office or getting up at 5am (I will still probably wake up around 6 or 6:30 due to my internal alarm clock).

I will think of you all as you eat Skip's amazing food and see Julie White (I LOVE Julie White) and Raul and Anne and Jay O. Sanders (he's in 12th Night, correct?). I really liked him in the Off-Broadway Lone Star Love (even though former DR Noel dislikes the show).

Anyway, I need to go over the OSI Presentation for this afternoon.

Maybe I'll see you in passing Ginny if you get here to exchange your book.

Bye for now.

Post by: elmore3003 on June 30, 2009, 05:12:11 AM: All hell broke loose this morning: the check from a local bank that I deposited on Friday hasn't cleared yet, thanks to the asses at Sovereign Bank, my health insurance payment, which I mailed on Friday and usually takes a week to land was paid yesterday. Timing isclearly everything. The bastards that run the bank charged me $350 for ten overdrafts this morning and I am $640 in the hole.

So, I may be doing nothing the remainder of the week but sitting at my desk finishing up as much work as I can to dig myself of the hole that will only get larger. I am neither amused nor happy about the goddam idiots who run this bank. The fact that $660 was sitting in my account and they've taken most of it for themselves really irritates me. A lot.

Color me both pissed and very unhappy today.

Now I have to go do my free job: the McGlinnventory.

Dammit, DR Elmore--that sux! Any point in calling the bank and trying to get some of that overdraft charged reduced? Call and state your case to the rep and if that doesnt work, ask to speak with a supervisor--jsut make a pest of yourself--that sometimes works. Don't get angry but talk very slowly and try to keep the phone call taking as much time as possible--they might do something jsut to get rid of you.

Somewhat cooler this morning and it isn't supposed to crack into the 90s today, the first time in about a week if that is actually the truth. I could have opened the house up since it was cooler outside when I got up than inside, but I didn't. The house is low in humidity, and I didn't want the A/C to have to work overtime later purging the air and carpets of moisture.

When disco first reigned, I couldn't stand it, couldn't bare listening to it. But over the years I've grown fond of some of it. Some favs:

On The Radio -- Donna Summer
Take Me Home -- Cher
Dancing Queen -- Abba

Lady Marmalade -- Patti Labelle

It's not from the era, but I also like

Post by: Matt H. on June 30, 2009, 07:43:03 AM: I forgot to mention last night in recapping my viewing that I did watch the POIROT mystery MRS. McGINTY'S DEAD. I had read the book years ago and didn't remember it, but, of course, having seen Margaret Rutherford's MURDER MOST FOUL (which was based on just enough of the book to give away the deception Christie uses to mask her killer), I had no trouble figuring out the murderer well before the revelation.

Still, it's wonderfully done, and featured two superb character actresses: Sian Phillips and Zoe Wannamaker.

But there was nothing else on tv and i wanted to see Max (from DANCING WITH THE STARS). It wasn't bad, except that i wish i knew more of the people involved better. Most of the celebs i wouldn't even consider celebs.

I will probably record it tonight and ff thru the interesting parts.

I feel your pain! The roofers are pounding away right above me!!

Can you make a safe little area for your cat while you are gone? Somewhere less stressful, a bit quieter, and away from a falling ceiling?

Vibes while you go through this!

Thanks, Jane. I didn't open any of my blinds and Ebonie found a spot in the clothes that I had on the floor, away from everything. I took a couple of pictures. I'll post one later tonight. She's so cute! Scared, but cute. :D

Title: Re: THE LAST OF JUNE
Post by: Matt H. on June 30, 2009, 01:29:47 PM: Then I watched Godard's MADE IN U.S.A. He's really struggling to juggle a narrative film (with a very thin noir-like plot) with pop, literary, and political talk and also incorporate lots of stylistic touches a la the French New WAve.

It's really a jumble, though, and not very enjoyable. Interesting to see what he's trying to do, but as entertainment, it's just not very satisfying.
Title: Re: THE LAST OF JUNE
Post by: Matt H. on June 30, 2009, 01:32:04 PM: Then I watched all of the bonus features. There was a featurette with two critics discussing this film and the next one (2 OR 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER) as Godard's last before he took a long break from moviemaking.

There were interviews with the film's two stars.

There was a VERY valuable bonus citing all of the pop, literary, and political references inserted into the film, helpful since it was made in 1966 and all of those allusions to things not cinema related went right over my head especially dealing with French politics.

Anthony is on Long Island.

I had a 90 minute rehearsal from 11 to 12:30 and had about an hour for lunch and to wind down. I then went into the presentation which went very well. I was pleased with my portion and everyone else seemed pleased about the overall 2 FULL HOURS. I'm hungry and I'm tired.

We have to leave at 9:30 tomorrow morning for the Starr Foundation. I don't have to carry it but we are bringing a portable projector and a laptop because they don't have equipment. Oh, well.

Ginny, it sounds like you had a good time in my "hood" I (we) would have loved to chat and chew but it was not to be. Next time.

I'm going to get something to eat. Since Anthony is not here and I'm tired I don't feel like cooking.

And according the reports from The Public, they had a record number of people signed up for the Virtual Line today. So many, that it practically crashed The Public Theater's main site: PublicTheater.org. However, the virtual line was still accessible - for those in the know - by going to directly to:

http://vline.publictheater.org/account/

*You may want to bookmark that site, DR Ginny.

**And it looks like they also had a record number of people waiting in the real line in the Park too. I'm guessing the nicer weather today, Pride this past weekend and the holiday weekend coming up, more people were just in town and in the mood to wait for tickets.

Tin Pan Alley Rag is sort of like a revue. It's the music of Scott Joplin and Irving Berlin. Be sure to grab one of the discount flyers from someone on the street or in your hotel lobby. They just started their run and are still in previews. Here's the website for the show:

Yep, quite unexpected. I mean, their numbers - like almost all shows right now - could be better, but I figured it would at least try to stay on through the Holiday season. However, I guess all the speculation over just how much their weekly running costs are can now be better... well.. speculated.

*The "funny" thing is that there was a rumor that Disney would go ahead and close Mary Poppins - especially since the tour is up and running, and then move The Little Mermaid over to the New Amsterdam. It actually would have been nice to see that show on and in a bigger stage - it's way too cramped at the Lunt-Fontanne - but there's no way they could have filled those seats down on 42nd Street.

Post by: JoseSPiano on June 30, 2009, 03:16:07 PM: And as for Mary Poppins...

The Chicago production had major technical issue this past Saturday. After holding the curtain for 45 minutes, they ended up canceling that evening's performance out of safety concerns. They had had some technical issues earlier in their run, but they even went on one night with the stage crew manually moving the set - which does not include the Banks' house moving up and down (it just moves upstage and downstage for the tour).

Of course, they offered refunds to the audience members as well as a chance to exchange their tickets for another upcoming performance. However, since they end their run in Chicago in two weeks, well, the seat selection is limited.

Bar Centrale on 46th if you want to hob-nob. There's also bk's stand-by, Joe Allen, also over on 46th. Brooklyn Diner on 43rd. Junior's. Angus McIndoe. Etc., etc., etc.

If it's not too crowded and you don't mind paying the hotel mark-up, the bar/restaurant on the 8th floor lobby of the Marriott Marquis is a nice place. Great views of Times Square.

All hell broke loose this morning: the check from a local bank that I deposited on Friday hasn't cleared yet, thanks to the asses at Sovereign Bank, my health insurance payment, which I mailed on Friday and usually takes a week to land was paid yesterday. Timing isclearly everything. The bastards that run the bank charged me $350 for ten overdrafts this morning and I am $640 in the hole.

So, I may be doing nothing the remainder of the week but sitting at my desk finishing up as much work as I can to dig myself of the hole that will only get larger. I am neither amused nor happy about the goddam idiots who run this bank. The fact that $660 was sitting in my account and they've taken most of it for themselves really irritates me. A lot.

Color me both pissed and very unhappy today.

Now I have to go do my free job: the McGlinnventory.

Elmore, that is terrible! Did you talk to the branch manager? Did you call corperate headquarters? The squeeky wheel.............

DR elmore - I think Ginny and Richard went ahead and got tickets for Avenue Q for tomorrow night. However...

Since the ticket demand seems to be quite high, and since I know you want to see the show, you may just want to register for tomorrow night's Virtual Line anyway. -And if you end up winning and not going with Ginny and Richard, well, at least you will have seen the show.

To register for the Virtual Line:

1) Go to http://vline.publictheater.org/account/

2) Click on the black/white "Virtual Line" box

3) Click on "Register" under "Register A New Account". However, since the Public Theater uses their subscribers and ticket buyers database, you may already be in their system if you've purchased a ticket from them in the past.

4) Once you've registered or confirmed your registration, then just follow the prompts to Log In to the Virtual Line.

You can register for the evening performance starting at midnight. The "drawing" takes place at 1:00pm. Just log back into the Virtual Line between 1:00-6:00 on the day of the show to check if you've "won".

If you have won, then just show up at the Delacorte between 6:00-7:30 with a picture ID to claim your tickets.

Show time is at 8:00. *And any rain-influenced decisions are not made until 8:00-ish.

Well, right now everything would go to my parents if I died intestate and that's fine with me, so it's not that big a deal. I can't think of anyone I'd want to give anything to, unless it's a trust for my cats. :)

Whenever I have been hesitant about a paint color or wallpaper, it only got worse. I always ended up changing it.

I hope the second coat works for you DR Cilla, or you find the perfect color. I would find it difficult to decide with the yellow counters still there.

Jane is overwhelmed today. She was dropped off at the pound this morning and put in a kennel with all those dogs barking nearby. Then she was put in a carrier and taken to a new place. That's a lot in one day.

She is very sweet and has a nice purr. The family will stay until the kittens are pet-shop size, then they will go up for adoption, as will Jane.

Well, all contracts have an out, so I'm sure that Faith will be OK. -And at this point, she has a two-month lead time to start searching for other work. I wish her the best.

As for how much they will lose - not "loose" - well... there are lots of figures out there. However, even though it may be a "sizable" amount, in the larger scheme of "Disney", I'm sure it's just a drop in the bucket.

And as for closing Beauty & the Beast, it was basically running in the black when it closed, but it also needed to close. Time-worn set and costumes, some time-worn actors, and since the tours had already been across the country for at least four years, well.. -And they already started making it available to high schools. It was a good time to close.

The interesting thing to note here is that any of the profits for Disney Theatrical fall under the Disney Entertainment division on the spreadsheets. It's never broken down as to what money is made directly from the shows, it's all coupled in with the other Disney entertainment properties and venues.

I painted the rest of the yellow tonight so the only thing left of the yellow are the countertops. I also gave the color I wasn't comfortable with a second coat and like it much better. I may have to add a border for a small part of the room. I found one I like, but we'll see. I think once the counters are in, I will be very happy. They are coming on Thursday morning to measure it.

Live with it a couple of weeks, DR CILLA LIZ. Give your brain a chance to adjust to it as the regular color, not a shock because the neurons are expecting the old color.
I painted the rest of the yellow tonight so the only thing left of the yellow are the countertops. I also gave the color I wasn't comfortable with a second coat and like it much better. I may have to add a border for a small part of the room. I found one I like, but we'll see. I think once the counters are in, I will be very happy. They are coming on Thursday morning to measure it.

Then there's always wallpaper. ;)

I haven't been able to watch episode 2. Hopefully the channel that shows it in canada will include full episodes on their website (they have their other shows but not this one).

Actually, I saw some great wall paper at the decorating center. I was considering some for a backsplash. I've bretty much decided on the border. I wasn't going to do it becasue it's another cat border, but it's just a little area and it really does tie ti together....let me see if I can upload a photo or two. Not sold on it yet, but liking it better

If I'm remembering correctly, when Beauty & the Beast and Hairspray closed, due to the hiring and contract cycles, there were some people who joined the show a month before closing, and I think there was one person in Hairspray who was only with the show for the final week.

Title: Re: THE LAST OF JUNE
Post by: Jane on June 30, 2009, 06:37:35 PM: I like the paint colors very much. To clarify, the brown copper is the color under the wonderful cat border or the color behind it? The color behind doesn't really look like brown copper. I do like the combination of the two. The darker color seems like it might be too dark next to the cabinets.

I think the cats are darling but I know what you mean. We no longer have cat or animal borders anymore, we don't have borders or paper at all.
Title: Re: THE LAST OF JUNE
Post by: Cillaliz on June 30, 2009, 06:43:28 PM: The copper color is the dark color. The lighter color is a little more peach than it appears in the photo that shows the cabinets. I'm using the light color around the cabinets and just doing the corner and another that is mostly behind the refrigerator in the dark color. I think I'll do the border for now. I have a creamy white to do the windows. I think I'll like it once the counter tops are in

I am getting confused. What night is Fred and Skip's place? And what night is TWELFTH NIGHT?

I think at this point, for DR elmore (and maybe myself), Twelfth Night will, hopefully, occur either tomorrow night or Thursday. For DRs Ginny and DH Richard, it will be Thursday.

The dinner at Skip & Fred's will also be on Thursday - pre-theater.

At this point, if DRs Elmore and Jose are able to get TWELFTH NIGHT tickets for tomorrow night, Richard and I will opt for one of our alternatives for Thursday. We did, indeed, get tickets for AVENUE Q for tomorrow night - a special holiday-week Wed. evening performance. They're usually dark on W evenings. And I asked the guy at the box office if they'd seen a pick-up in sales since the closing announcement. He said, "Not yet." We got great orchestra seats, 11th row, center aisle for under $100 for both of us.

Michael Jackson tribute in butter at Iowa Fair
11:40 AM
StoryPost A Comment7 comment(s)Posted: Tuesday, June 30, 2009
DES MOINES -- The world-famous Iowa State Fair butter cow will share the spotlight this year with a salute to the late Michael Jackson. Both pieces will be on display in the Agriculture Building's 40-degree cooler throughout the fair, Aug. 13-23.

Butter sculptor Sarah Pratt of West Des Moines plans to honor Jackson's extensive contributions to the music and dance industries through a butter sculpture of the pop icon. This year's butter bovine will be a jersey cow.

Michael Jackson danced on to the Iowa State Fair Grandstand stage Aug. 29, 1971, as a member of the Jackson Five. Alongside his brothers, Jackson turned out two exceptional performances to the delight of 17,000 fair-going fans.

Today, nearly four decades later, he is remembered as a pop-culture icon whose music reflected the passion and creativity of a new era. As the world mourns the loss of such a skilled and exceptional entertainer, the Iowa State Fair would like to celebrate the King of Pop and commemorate the ways his contributions have transformed American music and dance.

Afterward, we went to Junior's and the hostess took us way back in the restaurant to what I thought was going to be a really crummy table. However, it was by the windows facing Shubert Alley, directly across from the Blithe Spirit stage door. There was a good sized crowd, but eventually a guy came out, talked to the crowd (we couldn't hear) and handed out what appeared to be autographed items. They all left and we were hoping that, then, Angela would come out, but even though we ordered a dessert to split (lemon coconut layer cake - yum!), she never did.

One fascinating thing that has been mentioned in passing in some new reports is that Michael Jackson's fame came about long before the internet was in full swing, before MySpace, before Facebok, before Twitter. Even before iTunes! -And that no one has or could ever be that famous again. I actually think that's true. He really did break and reach across many boundaries.

Post by: Sam on July 01, 2009, 12:09:17 AM: I think I have only one or two more long days with paperwork, and then I'm done except for going through all the stuff I brought home.

I'm kind of getting attached to driving my dad's funky old BMW. I forgot how much fun a stick shift car can be to drive. Might just keep it for awhile, if I can afford the extra insurance.

And then it's waiting time till the bank says I can have his checking account (July 17th) and pay myself back for all this has cost. And there was no funeral. And it still took all my savings.

Hoping I'll have time soon to catch up.
