Good morning, all! Today's only Thursday and I would swear it is Friday. And I soound like Gertrude Stein.
Today is another McGlinnventory day, followed by a couple of hours of editing with Mr Skip Kennon. I've got some newly copied scores taken from the Victor Herbert song manuscripts to edit and lyrics to decipher. I got one song back from my copyist Dan and I left the entire vocal line clear because he couldn't read Herbert's handwriting. I deciphered all but one word, and here's the phrase with the missing word:
When the sun in golden splendor
Sinks behind the distant hills
Then a __________ sweetly tender
All my inward beng thrills
The word in question is two syllables. On the score it looks as if it's all composed of small case c's, a's, and s's but it's a word like "feeling" or "passion" with the stress on the first syllable. I'm taking the score to the office to enlarge the line on the copier to see if I can decipher it. I need my thesaurus.
And the word of the day is: VIBRISSA!
DR Jane no i am not reading THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST yet. Even though I am probably going to be in the first queue of people, my library did not get it yet. Hopefully they will get it very soon. But they are behind. So it could be a couple of weeks.
Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of John Ford...particularly his westerns. [STAGECOACH & THE SEARCHERS being exceptions.]
I think he's very over-rated as a director.
Yes, his visuals are stunning and most of his films have memorable moments, but most are also slow moving, over-acted and the "comedy" sequences in them (e.g. the wedding scene in THE SEARCHERS) are embarrassing.
I would much prefer watching a film directed by Raoul Walsh or Michael Curtiz than one by Ford...or Howard Hawks.
Walsh and Curtiz knew how tell a story.

Sorry your library is behind. I wonder if it is the publisher who is behind in mailing the books. So far as I can tell my library doesn't have it yet. I might ask today out of curiosity. My brother's library has it, yet his copy isn't available even though it should have been. He is wondering if the librarians are reading it first.

TOD:
Dan (the Man) and I almost have exactly the same list:
THE QUIET MAN
THE GRAPES OF WRATH
THE SEARCHERS
HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY
STAGECOACH
I would also add MISTER ROBERTS, but he really co-directed that with Mervyn LeRoy.

I didn't buy them in Blu Ray - because who knows if I would have to update my hardware....

Does this mean you'll never buy a BluRay again?

Good luck, DR td. Vodka may help.
... and baked a cherry pie for dinner. Don't be to impressed about the pie, I bought it pre-made and frozen - just had to bake it.
Can she make a cherry pie,
Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Can she make a cherry pie,
Charming Billy?
She can make a cherry pie,
Quick as a cat can wink an eye,
She's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother.
Vodka can do anything!
I am recovering. I had a brief shower so that the bandaging may be changed.

Really? And who gets the pleasure of "that" task?
I went to Blockbuster and bought 3 DVD's for $20 -
Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr
Amelia
Twilight New Moon
None of them got really great reviews.....but they should be entertaining one way or the other. I didn't buy them in Blu Ray - because who knows if I would have to update my hardware....
Good evening. Paul's birthday is on Sunday so I'm taking him to Sex and the City 2 tonight. When he lived in NYC he became friends with Patricia Field. They still are friends, but it goes way back. Anyway, he really wants to see the movie and I'm sure we'll wait to see her name in the credits. He said if this was a real city he'd go in drag, lol. I'm sorry, but i can't imagine Paul in drag...my brian just won't do it

I cannot wait to see this movie. I hope it is as good as the first one. It looks fun. I'm trying not to read/watch too many spoilers. The preview had one big "ah" spoiler moment.
I think the whole cast is going to be on THE VIEW tomorrow.
I'm curious what kind of reviews the movie Sex & The City 2 has been getting.
I loved the series and i loved the first movie. I have been looking forward to seeing the sequel for months (and am going on tuesday). But here they let some man who hated the series and the first movie review the second one. And he gave it a bomb rating.
This really made me angry since he knew he would hate it before even seeing it. And to me to give something a bomb means it is complete crap (which i'm sure this movie is not). Plus there are so many people who are looking forward to seeing it and the bomb rating will just make people feel bad.
It's not like he's writing for some itsy bitsy paper. He's writing for the Montreal Gazette (the main English daily here).
DR Elmore: Is the word "caress"?
BK's close personal directee Adair is doing several Maltby & Shire tunes at the cabaret in a couple of weeks. We have old original M&S handwritten scores that are completely illegible. :)
DR Elmore, what are some of the other lyrics? "Cascade" is the only other word I would imagine with c's, a's and s's. But it doesn't make that much sense.
DR Jane (and anyone else who still watches) tonight is the series finale of FLASHFORWARD.
My library got a bunch of new movies some of which i requested (meaning i will get them right away):
Leap Year
It's Complicated
The Lovely Bones
An education
Crazy Heart
And one i had never heard of called Crazy on the outside.

Would constipate work?
Just heard from Pogue - he wasn't able to see the Quick Reply box or anywhere to post - I'm not having that problem, is anyone else? I told him to refresh, but because the site was down, maybe he got logged out? I see him up there, so he must be logged in - we'll know very soon.
I don't think I mentioned that last night at a meeting HWHC was making fun of cats, little did he know that half of the people on the board are cat lovers...I got a kick out of them telling him to shut up.
I really don't have anything to add today, unless you want to know that the monarch scientist played with the kittens and that the contractor working on the house across the street finished today and told me to feel free to put stuff in the dumpster because it was all paid for.

*Please tell me that you're at least getting a true 3-day, Memorial Weekend holiday weekend?!?!?! PLEASE!
I'm thinking about seeng SATC2 tomorrow, if I can fit it into my schedule.
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
Will we never get to page four?

I couldn't remember all that Ford had directed, so I went to www.imdb.com. I don't think I know that he directed "Wee Willie Winkie." While there, I found a half-hour film of Ford's available for free download called "Sex Hygiene." It was a WWII VD flick for the troops (sort of the non-musical version of "The Good-Time Girl" from "Over Here!"). I watched a few minutes and was surprised that it was as explicit as it was, not in terms of the sex. Enjoy: http://www.archive.org/details/SEX.HYGIENE
Again, it is quite graphic.
I won't post any spoilers. I'll just say that as a whole SATC2 was too long for me and lots of it could have been cut. BUT...there were a few scenes that made it more than worth the price of the tickets. I laughed and laughed
DR Elmore: Is the word "caress"?
Actually caress is a good choice for Victor's handwriting, but the accent is on the wrong syllable. To fit musically it has to be a 2-syllable word with the accent on the first syllable like "trembling" or "passion." Where's my Roget?
It was so weird they had Jennifer Love Hewitt hosting the VIEW yesterday. They brought up GHOST WHISPERER but did not mention it was cancelled or if ABC was picking it up. I wonder when they have till to decide.
