Well, you've read the notes, the notes were open and had a slight sesame flavor, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently saying "Open sesaMOO."

And the word of the day is: ZETETIC!
-
WOW! (http://www.kritzerland.com/sugar.htm) Even on the samples, the difference between the original (even fixed up) mix and the Kimmel special on disc 2 is amazing! The original sounded like it was recorded in a tunnel and the new version sounds like it was recorded in an actual recording studio. You can also hear a lot more of Tony Roberts' vocalizing during the dance break of "Beauty That Drives Men Mad." I can't wait to hear the entire album! ;D
-
Amazing, isn't it - the new mix sounds incredible, especially when you A/B it - it was thrilling to do.
-
Morning all.
That is all.

Morning back at you, Ben.

Got your message, elmore, thanks.

Those cake balls do look good. And of course I'm hungry! I need to eat something.

The weather here in the last 3 days has gotten much colder. It's odd to me because last week it was 40C humidex. And now today it is like 18C. Brrrrrr.

Cake balls!

DR JOSE - that's not YOUR hand with a tattoo, is it?

Another A+ vote for last night's MAD MEN....whew! And for the return of Jay Ferguson as Stan Rizzo, at least I think that was him tormenting Peggy near the end of the show.

Good morning, all! I sept later than i intended, but I have one last day of freedom before I'm back to the grind and I am enjoying myself. I had another repeating dream last night but it's now lost to wherever dreams go.
Today I'll see if one of the music dealer sites I've been using as a pricing guide is no longer freezing so I can finish pricing the Wagner and Shostakovich editions for the McGlinnventory. If the site is good, i'll finish my price list and work on my Herbert reports. I missed a couple of topics last night so I'll catch up now:
Favorite Disney is ALICE IN WONDERLAND/
Happy 90th Birthday tomorrow to the father of DR FJL!
Screwball comedies? Outside of MY MAN GODFREY, I can't think of any at the moment.
-
Shostakovich sounds like a Russian swear word, I have always thought.
-
Monday morning greetings! Yesterday's trip to Lima must have been more tiring than I realized, because I slept until after 9 this morning. Takin' it easy today to be rested up for tomorrow's grantwriters' meetings - the scene of the "crime," so to speak...
-
Good Morning! And there you have it!
-
Good morning, all.

When I was a kid, I remember stumbling across Ted Sennett's wonderful book on screwball comedies called "Lunatics and Lovers." It was in the day before VHS and cable, so I did my best to find somebody screening each and every movie I remember being mentioned in the book. I dragged my parents out to park amphitheaters for free showings of "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" and to open film classes for "Nothing Sacred" or "Bringing Up Baby." Then a revival movie house opened near our home and it began showing some of the greats that never played TV.
I still love seeing the old ones and have found many of the modern attempts to recapture that charm to be bloated messes ("What's Up Doc?" is the only exception I can think of).
I don't recall seeing many that I didn't like, so favorites among favorites would have to include:
The Thin Man (William Powell was my favorite among the leading men of screwball comedy)
Libeled Lady
Joy of Living
My Man Godfrey
Twentieth Century (Carole Lombard was a genius)
The Lady Eve
It Happened One Night
-
Can't wait to hear the refined "Sugar."
-
It was DS Zach's birthday yesterday, so I was E&T.
My sister emailed me asking if I had our parents' marriage certificate, as she was applying for British citizenship (our Dad was born in England). I told her I didn't, but asked her what was going on, and she is contemplating moving back there (she lived outside of London for many years) if the US continues its wave toward radical conservatism. DW Wife Betsy wants us to go, too. ;)
-
There are now two (count 'em) houses in our new(ish) neighborhood listed for $1 million. And they are smaller than this house.
-
Channel 13 showed "Bringing Up Baby" about three weeks ago, and I found Katharine Hepburn so annoying that, once she drove off in Cary Grant's car, I got pissed at him for letting an insane, thoroughly obnoxious person walk all over him and I turned it off. I never care to see the remainder.
-
Which is funnier department: That fact that Percy Faith had a drug-inspired nickname for one of his albums, or the fact that the guy who runs a Faith website told me not to spread it around. Yes, I'm quite sure that there are millions (nay, trillions) of people who would be shocked by this fact. ::)
-
Around 12:40 I need to head out on some errands; I really want to bitchslap the recording MD who is one of the dizziest people I have ever worked with.

I feel the same way about her character in that film.

I wouldn't; he was a musician, and most of them have filthy minds.

Yes, there's that, and also the fact that the guy has been dead for decades and isn't exactly headline news anymore, LOL.

DR JMK, do you really think England is the best place to go to get away from rampant conservatism?

Due to a technical error I have failed in my attempt to record TCB's episode of HIGH SCHOOL STORIES which I thought was to air today at 3pm.
My Comcast listings do not show it airing at that time, so I am guessing it aired at 3am.
Hopefully, DR George will come to my rescue.
-
Well, I must shower and shave and pick up my mom. We are gonna head out to breakfast and Bi-Mart, then I must return home to continue packing and moving stuff into the garage.
-
Sugar CD ordered. I guess that I'll miss next week's release since I should be in or out of surgery at this time next week. I won't know the definite times until Friday afternoon.
-
Happy Late Birthday to Zach.
-
"Kooky" characters such as those played by Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby and almost ALL of the Shirley MacClaine collection drive me completely crazy and I can't stand to watch them.....
MacClaine is the main reason I have never seen THE APARTMENT all the way through....can't stand it......just can't stand it....
Kooky does NOT equal endearing....for me.

I know a lot of people who have felt the same way. Perhaps that's why I love it (and shouldn't) when Cary Grant pushes her to the floor in "Philadelphia Story."

Cilla congrats on the new dishes. Finding just the right dishes is exciting.
A new tennis shoe, interesting. We slept ok last night in-spite of the lumps. Even Keith slept with a slightly wet sheet. I noticed the sheet was wet as I tossed it to him to make up his side of the bed. He wasn't listening to he would have known it was wet and let me have that side back-lol.

So...
There's a wall that separates our backyard-patio from our next door neighbor's backyard-patio. Apparently, due to the wind(?), a planter belonging to our next door neighbor that was sitting on said wall has fallen into our backyard-patio. So...
-Do I wait for our next door neighbor to ask about it?
or
-Do I just let our building's handyman/gardener deal with it?
;)

It's a medium-size planter. -And we have had some gusts the past two nights. Or maybe some of the stray cats knocked it over. ???
I'm just glad it missed the gas grill.

Dogs are permitted in the pub at the end of my street; well, on the deck, anyway. The Thirsty Dog tavern, a few blocks the other direction, has a special dog patio and "Milk Bone Happy Hour"!

I got up at ten and have been printing out orders ever since. In the exact same time frame on a non-holiday Monday, this is outdoing Promises.

I missed yesterday's posts; I went to Athens, GA to do a 10 mile walk with my best friend. We plan to do a half-marathon walk in October. What I didn't know was that it was going to be a hike on very rough terrain. I didn't have the right shoes for it and by the end I felt like I was on the Bataan death march. My DR was out of town but got home about an hour before me and gave me a nice, much-needed foot rub.
-
On Saturday I escaped the house projects and went to the Dragon Con parade. I'm sure there were probably quite a few Captain Marvels shouting "Shazam!". There were also dozens of storm troopers, people from middle earth, pretty much anyone from any sci fi or fantasy work was represented. There were even several George Lucases!
-
Today we're hopefully finishing up all the projects with our painter. We stripped and stained the deck, stripped and painted the pavillion, and now he's spraying the barn with stain. Of course, this is all due to the fact that DR Jose will be paying us a visit in a few days! ;-)
-
Jose I think it is time to meet the neighbors. :)
Umm...
-
So, DR Jose, do you WANT to meet your neighbor?
Umm...
I'm just not exactly sure who lives next door. The building has been going through some major remodeling, and there are times when I think that no one is actively living there. But then sometimes I notice that a party is going on. So...

Greg just worked on a music video for a group called Foxy Shazam. The lead singer kind of reminds me of Freddy Mercury; very charismatic. The group is pretty crazy but very nice guys.

Most places don't permit dogs on a deck if it has a railing around it. Starbucks has a deck we can sit on, it can also depend on the location of the deck. The rules are truly absurd where we can sit with Sherlock & where we can't.

Wish I could watch TCB, I don't think we have MTV2. I looked for it and don't see it

Well, you can see me right now in the lower left corner of my post! I am not moving, however; which is what one critic said about my acting.
-
Just checked online...nope. We don't get MTV2
-
Well, I would love to see you move TCB!
-
DR TCB--did you appear at the end of the show? I had set my DVR and it stopped recording promptly at 3:30 pm. Apparently, the show ran over the allotted time.
Anyway, I enjoyed your performance!

Typical MTV. Nothing starts or finishes at the correct time.
Thank you, KevinH. The last scene that I was in was the graduation ceremony. I appreciate you watching.

TOD:
The Carry On movies
So many of the other films already mentioned.

More healing vibes to Jane!
Thank you.

My sister managed to forget about the MTV show between Friday afternoon and today. I did get a call from her grandson (my great nephew) that he was watching MTV when the show started. He couldn't believe his uncle was on MTV.
-
Good news Jane, not that you're in pain, but that it's improving. I imagine with slow and steady improvement, you may not realize how much you've improved
I keep reminding myself how improved I am even if lately the improvements are more subtle then obvious. I gotta say though after nine months I expected more, or I should say less-as in pain. Then I tell myself there are plenty of people who wish they had as "little" pain as I have.

The surprise of seeing you must have made it extra special. I'm glad he was watching.

No MTV2 here, either >:(

How very true, Jane. I often have to remind myself that I can still walk and talk, which a lot of other people can't do.

Does anyone know if Lalo Schifrin's unused score for The Exorcist has ever been released on cd?
-
Thank you DR TCB.
-
DR Vixmom, thanks.
-
Vixdad put on a Perry Mason marathon - these are not the original but from the 1990's -
some of the dialog was so bad
investigator: " the store said they delivered a freezer for Mary Jones to this address"
Priest 'A freezer? This is church not a restaurant!"
investigator, "Maybe the store made a mistake - you don't know Mary Jones?"
Priest, "No - but I wish she had bought us a freezer , we could sure use one"
-
Does anyone know if Lalo Schifrin's unused score for The Exorcist has ever been released on cd?
Yes, but I believe that it was only available in the laserdisc box set. I have it.

I have returned from a four-day trip. Did you miss me?
-
yes!
Did you have anice time?
Do you have photos for us?
-
I didn't take the new camera -- no room in the carry-on bag. I will have to see if the ones I took with the old camera turned out.
-
I have returned from a four-day trip. Did you miss me?
Of course. :) How was your trip?
-
At 12:00 I recorded the episode with DR TCB. At 12:30 I recorded the end of the episode with DR TCB handing out diplomas. :)
-
where did you go Laura?
-
We were in Indiana for my mother-in-law's 90th birthday party.
-
My sister-in-law apologized for her weedy yard. I told her never to call it that -- it is a BUTTERFLY GARDEN. There were LOTS of butterflies.

Our friendly little haineshisway.com troll is trying to disparage Sugar over on All That Chat. So typical.

YES!!!! I saw hundreds of Monarch butterfilies and thought of you the whole time~

Thanks for the monarch pictures the other day, Cillaliz. I saw one in my sister-in-law's garden, too.
We are hoping the monarchs will stop and rest a spell here in Arizona on their journey south.

It has been a long while since I have had a major break-through at therapy. I am happy to report I'm still, slowly, getting more stretch and mobility with my shoulder. I was very startled since it has been hurting more, which is a sign it is also getting a little stronger.
Very good news, Jane!
-
Well, I would love to see you move TCB!
If you'd like, I can add you to my list.
-
Good Evening!
The past three days here in NYC could not have been a more picture-perfect, weather-perfect way to bring Summer to a close.

George, it's really great that you are doing this.

Finished "Anna Karenina" and started listening to the musical version, which isn't so much a flop as it is boring. It dumbs down the material in ways that all too easy to understand, much like the recent discussion of writing musicals according to committee, rather than doing what's right by the material.
The title character of the book is brilliant in ways that her husband, who has been called brilliant but isn't, cannot appreciate. She knows everything -- and what she doesn't, she's willing to learn. She takes an interest in her lover's affairs and becomes so well-versed in them that he has to come to her for advice, something her husband never would have thought of doing. She's also a capable writer of children's literature in addition to knowing all about architecture, agriculture, birth control and so on. Her affair with Vronsky isn't only about sex; it's about her finding someone who awakens all of her interests, intellectually as well as sexually. By limiting her character to merely the sexual aspect of her nature, the musical robs her of her greatness -- and subsequently the material's greatness.
What's left is a chorus of people singing "On a train ..."
I saw the show on Broadway shortly after it opened and was disappointed. Hearing the score again, even though it is sung by Melissa Erico, Brian D'Arcy James, Marc Kudish, Gregg Edelman, Kerry Butler and Jeff McCarthy, doesn't improve with time.

Shayne, the Lalo score is very interesting and anything by him is worth a listen.
-
Well, Robert Morse has ordered his copies :) And the Bob Merrill family is thrilled at what I wrote about the score and is thrilled we've issued it.
-
Nice dishes, DR CILLA LIZ.
Even after what we found out about Robert Morse on MAD MEN yesterday? Well, I guess listening to CD's is all he can do.....

Did you cut her off at the ankles over on the other board yet?

I am going to try to watch a Jacques Tati movie on TCM now.

Did you want to?
-
Well, Robert Morse has ordered his copies :) And the Bob Merrill family is thrilled at what I wrote about the score and is thrilled we've issued it.
I wonder if Tony Roberts will order it. Kritzerland has now re-released two cast recordings that he's been on.

Well... Even though I'm not officially working tomorrow, I do have a lot of work to take care of in the morning since everyone else will be back at work, well, at least their workplace. So...
Goodnight.

Well...

Sounds like everyone had a great 3 days.
Happy Tuesday and cheers for the week ahead.

Could I get on the list for the dvd ?

Well, in honor of Labor Day (umm, sure...that's it), I've finally decided that after nineteen, count 'em NINETEEN YEARS, I'm going to apply for a NEW JOB! Nothing is happening with my current job. An opportunity to advance has come up, so if I don't get the job, I won't lose anything. Now, I just need to fill out the application and actually apply.
-
Good night George.
Could I get on the list for the dvd ?
Why yes, you can.
-
Dear George, good luck for the new job.
:-*
-
I feel sleepy.. I want to giggle..
-
Dear George, good luck for the new job.

Thanks. I'll need it!

What happened is that our new library director Mike was the Manager-Administrative Services for the library. That position will not be filled. They've created a new Business Manager position that will take some of the Manager-Administrative Services duties, and Mike will keep some of the duties as library director. Because they're restructuring the business office, the current Accountant (Rick, who had been given some other duties of the Manager-Administrative Services position while Mike was interim director) will just be moved into the Business Manager position (no interview necessary). My supervisor in Acquisitions (also named George) has a BS in Accounting, so he'll also just be moved into the Accountant position. Got that? It's the Acquisitions Supervisor position that's been advertised and that I'm applying for...the supervisor of my current position.
-
Everyone's moving up! Rick, George and I are all at the top of our current respective pay ranges and have no more annual increments (a 3% pay raise on the annual anniversary of one's hiring date for up to 12 years), other than whatever C.O.L.A. we get. Rick and George will now be in the middle of their new ranges, and if I get George's job, I'll be in the middle of that pay range and get an annual increment again (for another five or six years). :)

Sam, this month's signing and reading is in NY. In October, on the 13th, I think, I'll be doing a signing/reading at Book Soup on Sunset. That is a biggie for me and we really need to fill the jernt.
