Well, you've read the notes, the notes had phrases which were coined, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home, to coin a phrase.

And the word of the day is: RUBRIC!

Which is Zubrick's favorite word.

And now - Dino at the piano.

Tuesday morning greetings! Today Richard is driving me as far as the library where I used to work and I'll ride from there with Genevieve (my replacement) to the grantwriters' meetings. I'll try not to cause as much commotion today as I did at our August meetings :-\

The rain is pouring down right now, which is a great thing for us in San Antonio. But I have friends a few miles up the road who just finished cleaning up after a flood and may be facing another one again.

TOD: Don't remember seeing too many movies as a kid that were truly kids pix. After seeing "Mary Poppins," though, at age 3, I was told that all I wanted to do after that was fly. I wanted an umbrella for Christmas, which I thought would talk to me and would help me fly away from where I was. That was a kind of recurring theme with me, as I wanted anything that would take me away.
-
Happy Birthday to DS Rob!
-
Happy Birthday to WILLIAM E. LURIE.
-
Happy Birthday to ROB, son of DR GINNY & RICHARD, who visited the World of Wisdom one evening.

Job advancement vibes for DR GEORGE.

I need to go to Goodwill and find a nice yellow shirt that is NOT 100% cotton.
DR JOSE - any Broadway news for the fall season?
-
This is probably my new partner for next year's Putnam County Dancing With the Stars. I could do worse.

Good morning, all! This morning I have to go to Music Theatre International and look over the new orchestra materials for THE MOST HAPPY FELLA so i can sign off on the project and the talented copyist Ben can be released from bondage. Before I go this morning, I have to address 10 priority mail packages and send off the chorus music for the Herbert recording.
Last night I dreamed I was waiting to go somewhere with sveral musicians including a Broadway orchestrator whose work and attitude I greatly dislike. Since it was my dream, he was a total oaf with next to no knowledge of serious music. There was also an airport in this dream, if it matters.
I was sure THE CLOSER would pick up on the gang-related story of two weeks ago, and it didn't. I then watched RIZZOLI AND ISLES, which seems to be stepping into BONES territory with criminal parents and abandoned children, and then I watched the desperate housewives of New Jersey behave badly. I slept fitfully, thanks to the Oaf Above me and his current lady friend; one of them needed to step out around 2 am. Maybe they're not drug dealers or terrorists but vampires.

TOD:
Certainly I saw some of them, but I was never a big fan of big adventure movies when I was a kid.
Actually, the movie that I enjoyed and remembered the most was a Western, BROKEN ARROW w/Jimmy Stewart.
That one has always stayed with me and is still one of my favorite Westerns.
-
Thank you to DRs JohnG, Ben, JRand, Dan(the Man), Kerry, and ArnoldMBrockman for the birthday wishes for our DS Rob!

Happy Birthday, WEL!

It is the first day of school, and I'm a little concerned for Zach, who is not only starting middle school, but is in a new school to boot. Plus as I think I reported, the idiots sent the invitation to the orientation day to our old address, so he missed the chance to meet any new kids, plus his block teacher informed me (via message delivered via another teacher) she was simply "too busy" to take 30 seconds out of her day to meet me and Zach. So I am hoping everything goes OK for him today.

Had to have some Cole Porter this morning, so I've got "Leave It to Me!" blasting out of the speakers. Love this score, even if the recording from 42nd St. Moon has only a small band instead of a full orchestra. His "Tomorrow" is like musical caffeine to me, and "Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love" always makes me smile.
-
Here is my "I still can't believe this" moment from a couple of days ago. DW Wife Betsy and I were channel surfing and despite my mad attempts to scramble past ABC Family, she noticed "The Sound of Music" was on, and so our viewing "choice" was instantly set. Betsy has seen this movie probably no fewer than 500 times (I am not exaggerating). As we were watching, I suddenly heard Max call Baron von Trapp by his first name, and I didn't immediately catch it, nor did I remember what it was. I asked DW Wife Betsy what von Trapp's first name was, and she replied (and I am not making this up--spelled phonetically for maximum impact): GAYOG. "Gayog?" I replied incredulously. "Do you mean Georg?" We both dissolved into helpless laughter. I told her Gayog sounded like a homosexual caveman.

Perhaps she'll remember it more easily if she watches the film 500 more times!!! I know...she can watch it on Blu-ray!!!!!

Perhaps he was performing a ritual....something to summon a Golem, perhaps...to take care of his complaining downstairs neighbor!
If you see one of these walking toward you, Larry.....RUN!!!

DR Cillaliz, nice pics of the dishes.
Reading your post about losing weight reminded me about exercising in the winter. There are like 4 months for sure when I will not be able to exercise outside. And I"m starting to freak out. Yesterday was raining and I could not bike. And I realized how much I hate indoor excercising.
Since my back is still not 100% I'm having a hard time hooping. I started doing it again a few days ago. And I can hip hoop. But I still can't hoop around my waist for more than 5 minutes at a time (it makes my back sore).
I guess I could try to do 2 X 10 minutes of hooping a day. And once a week I"m going to try to go swimming. I used to sometimes read a book on my exercise bike (which was the only way i could tolerate it). Maybe i could handle 5 minutes a day.
Does anybody have any good indoor exercises?

You are missed.

It's stormy and hot outside and I'm indoors writing a press release on holiday events. Of course, no one wants to call me back, so I have no info on the menorah lighting, the German choir's Christmas party and nothing at all related to Kwanzaa. I just want to go home, except I am at home. Listening to "A Broadway Christmas" now to get me in the mood.

Last night, DR Jose asked if I got to keep the wardrobe from the TV show. Thank goodness I did, since it came from my own closet. Come to think of it, the gray sweater (that made me look like the Hindenberg) was given to me by another cast mate. The director wanted a different look for one scene and I had only brought four changes, so this girl gave me the sweater she had in the car. It was her husband's and she was taking it to the Goodwill.

I should give it to Ben and Ant. They could take it to Long Island and use it as a tent.

Happy First Day of New School to Zack and Vixter!
-
I'm up. Very overcast outside. Have already printed about thirty orders.
-
It really feels like Fall is already here. It isn't raining, but it was rather cold this morning.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
"Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" - My family saw it at a drive-in movie theater. Twice. In one night. And it was raining, and we bought one of those plastic thingies with suction cups to keep the rain off the windshield. I think it was paired with "Orca".
The only other one that comes to mind is the original "Clash of the Titans".
-
Happy First Day of School to Everyone!!!
-
And since it looks like I need to make a trip down to DC this afternoon for the night, well...
Laters...
-
It's raining "cats & dogs" here in Austin, and it's supposed to continue like this for most of the week.
The good news: We don't have to water our lawn.
-
Please send your unwanted rain to me. Thank you.
-
DR Laura, a 90th birthday party and a butterfly garden-sounds like a nice trip. :)
-
Ginny, I don't know if anyone ever responded, but I'm listening to a track from the Bette Midler Rosemary Clooney album and yes, it's very, very short. LP records from the 60s and 70s were that short but nowadays CDs usually have more material.
-
Thanks George.
And thanks again for the CD offer I'm happy to say I don't need.
-
Please send your unwanted rain to me. Thank you.
I would love to. It's coming down in buckets here in San Antonio.
-
Did Photobucket go away? I can't get it to open. Everything else seems to be working fine.
-
From Jose:
DR Jane - I can't remember if I shared this with you before, but... Well, just click and see... Smiley
Bee Desserts Chocolate Honey Cakes
*And, yes, I just had one of the Almond ones. WOW! Smiley
OMG those look fantastic!!! Before reading the description it looks like honeycomb which I love. These look very intriguing. It is also possible I would be slightly allergic to them but heck, they look worth an itchy mouth. :)
-
DR George,
NEW JOB VIBES!!!

George, if you get this other job, can you still work the strange hours that you work now? Remember, you are NOT a morning person.

PAGE FOUR!

A friend of mine (with too much time on his hands) sent me some stills from yesterday's show. But I have no idea how to get them here if I don't download them to PhotoBucket first.
-
I've had trouble with photobucket lately. It makes the photos too small to see. I have been posting with Flicker.
-
And the word of the day is: RUBRIC!
Didn't Rubric have a cube?
-
But Flicker is complicated to tell someone else how to post from.
Yes, I know that sentence is a grammar nightmare. Sue me.
-
We didn't have such a thing as a Saturday matinee for a long time because children were not allowed in the movies except for special occasions like the release of a Disney Film or The Sound of Music. This was because years prior to this there was a terrible fire where many children died.
But sometime before 1967 the rules were changed because the first movie I saw on my own was Thoroughly Modern Millie (At "Popular Prices" 99 Cents)
After children were allowed in the theaters there were Saturday matinees (and Sundays) usually MGM's family friendly movies. It was on one of these outings I saw The Wizard Of Oz for he first time in technicolor. (I only had a B & W tv set at home

That is a consideration. I have actually gotten to work at 10:00 every day, last week.

DR George, you must not have gotten my PM yesterday, but please to put me on the DVDr list if you would be so kind! I want to see TCB in action!
-
I stopped walking to work...partly because I am lazy and partly because we had two stabbings one morning last week on one of the street that I walk on to get to work...less then a half mile from my house.
...some kids (16 year olds) stabbed an elderly man who was out collecting cans at 6 am, killing him, and then they drove up the street and stabbed a guy who was walking to work (who turned out to be a clerk at a store that I shop at...as I found out this weekend). He survived, but his arm right arm (which he used to protect himself) is a mess of stitches.
It seems it was random acts of violence on the part of these hooligans, and thankfully they have been caught, but very scary to have something like this happen in Salem.

One-Eyed Jacks (http://www.kritzerland.com/jacks.htm) has arrived! ;D I'll listen to it right after I finish Make Me a Song (http://www.amazon.com/Make-Song-Music-William-Finn/dp/B00168PTE2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1283893821&sr=1-1), that I got in Seattle.

You don't look nearly as scary as my school principal.
I liked my high school principle. It was the girls v.p. who was scary as all heck.

Nice photos TCB. :)
-
You are welcome, TCB. I'm glad it works.
If anyone else wants the instructions, please let me know. I will copy what I typed out for TCB.

Thank you to DRs JohnG, Ben, JRand, Dan(the Man), Kerry, and ArnoldMBrockman for the birthday wishes for our DS Rob!
DR Ginny, I totally forgot in all the tsuris before I headed out this morning! Happy Birthday to Rob!
On a bad round of news, I just got in from 6 hours at Music Theatre International and the Oaf Above Me appears to have not headed to Toronto. Damn!
-
DR TCB, you are incorrigible.
-
DR Jane, to get to work from my new apartment I only have to walk through a big park and over the railroad tracks.
That should be safe enough.
-
Had to have some Cole Porter this morning, so I've got "Leave It to Me!" blasting out of the speakers. Love this score, even if the recording from 42nd St. Moon has only a small band instead of a full orchestra. His "Tomorrow" is like musical caffeine to me, and "Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love" always makes me smile.
I think I have work on that recording

If you do, you aren't mentioned in the liner notes. But that doesn't mean anything these days, I'm sure.

I have a lot of friends who have lost tree limbs and even windows from the gale force winds. Thankfully, I've stayed dry so far. Hope you have, too.

It is positively weird not having the kids around. Plus, with Zach in middle school now, Gabe actually will get home first--and he's not even due for another half hour.
-
Home from a very long day in Dayton - I'm so glad I let Richard drive me, because I was pretty wiped out after 2 long meetings. DS Rob arrived home while we were gone from his camping weekend in Michigan and has opted for pizza for his birthday dinner.
Thanks to DRs Ron, Laura, Jennifer, Jose, TCB, Jane, and Elmore for the birthday wishes for him!

The "Google dots" reminds me of that prank software you could install on a Mac (I don't think there was ever a PC version, but maybe there was), where the cursor arrow would move AWAY from you as you scrolled the mouse toward it. :)

I stopped walking to work...partly because I am lazy and partly because we had two stabbings one morning last week on one of the street that I walk on to get to work...less then a half mile from my house.
...some kids (16 year olds) stabbed an elderly man who was out collecting cans at 6 am, killing him, and then they drove up the street and stabbed a guy who was walking to work (who turned out to be a clerk at a store that I shop at...as I found out this weekend). He survived, but his arm right arm (which he used to protect himself) is a mess of stitches.
It seems it was random acts of violence on the part of these hooligans, and thankfully they have been caught, but very scary to have something like this happen in Salem.
Mike, I am so sorry to hear about the elderly man. Had you two been dating long?
LOL!

I had to do a double take when I first read that-it seemed as if the post should have been from elmore, not TCB ;D
-
DR MBarnum's reputation precedes him.

DR Cillaliz, nice pics of the dishes.
Reading your post about losing weight reminded me about exercising in the winter. There are like 4 months for sure when I will not be able to exercise outside. And I"m starting to freak out. Yesterday was raining and I could not bike. And I realized how much I hate indoor excercising.
Since my back is still not 100% I'm having a hard time hooping. I started doing it again a few days ago. And I can hip hoop. But I still can't hoop around my waist for more than 5 minutes at a time (it makes my back sore).
I guess I could try to do 2 X 10 minutes of hooping a day. And once a week I"m going to try to go swimming. I used to sometimes read a book on my exercise bike (which was the only way i could tolerate it). Maybe i could handle 5 minutes a day.
Does anybody have any good indoor exercises?
Drive to the nearest mall and walk all around the inside.
It's funny but I don't consider mall walking exercise. But I guess I do that once a week anways.
I have seen some people power walking in the mall before it opens.

Well as long as there are no trains!

Yes, the three appendix charts are mine, including "Farming" and "A Lady Needs A Rest." I have no memory of doing the third one.

the Vixter thankis you all for the first days wishes - she seems to have developed a cold since this morning so she has gone to bed sniffing pitifully
fortunaltey she only has one more day to get through as she now has a 4 day weekend becasue the schools here are closed for Rosh Hashannah

Happy Birthday to Rob!!

the pictures are whetting my appetite fo the TCB dvd

I wonder, Tom, if your voice will sound like I have imagined it all these years

Back from a lot of stuff. Once again, I pull out the Unsung Musicals box and there is not ONE piano/vocal chart - this seems to be a recurring theme with elmore's early work - I have all the orchestra charts and not ONE piano/vocal - funny, I have complete piano/vocals for Unsung 2 and 3. Go know.
-
I had a nice lunch with a singer.

Then I stopped into an optician quite near Trader Joe's, just to look at some frames and because in the two years since my last pair of glasses my prescription is completely different - nothing about my glasses worked. So, I ended up getting a new exam from a very good lady doctor, then found two frames I like and am getting my first pair of progressive lenses, which they assure me I'll love. Progressive lenses have gotten quite sophisticated in the last few years, and I'm getting the latest technology. It's pretty expensive, these lenses, but, you know, if it makes me see well it will be worth it.
-
I'm dilated right now and so it's hard to see, so I'm going to do a jog.

bk i LOVE MY PROGRESSIVE LENSES.... EXCEPT WHEN i AM GOING DOWN STAIRS

I don't understand it. I gave Vinny piano-conductors for everything I did, and I assume they end up with all the recording materials.

Thank you, DR Vixmom!

This was pre-Vinny doing the recording - obviously the singers had them, but they simply don't exist anymore - it's really shocking. I have them for pretty much everything after the first six or seven albums.

I really like that version of "A Lady Needs a Rest." The phrasing is quite different from the Ben Bagley recording.

Just got back from a special showing of "Bottle Shock." It's the third time I've seen it and it's the one movie that makes the wine geek in me smile from start to finish. Everybody from Alan Rickman to Dennis Farina seems to be having a great time. And the theater gave away a free glass of wine with the ticket. Now that's fun.

Good Evening!
Greetings from Virginia!
...Where I just found out that my father had surgery... Two weeks ago... Apparently, I had even called while they were on the way to the hospital... But, again, I just found out a few minutes ago. ???
However, it was a somewhat routine procedure, and my dad seems to be recuperating quickly.
-
Ginny, I don't know if anyone ever responded, but I'm listening to a track from the Bette Midler Rosemary Clooney album and yes, it's very, very short. LP records from the 60s and 70s were that short but nowadays CDs usually have more material.
DR Ginny - In fact, both of her "Tribute" albums - the other one being "The Peggy Lee Songbook" - are very short when it comes to running time. I have to wonder if the overall running time was part of the "tribute"? ;)
-
DR Jose - vibes for your dad. Don't you just love family communication?? :)

With that I'm outta here. I need some sleep. Good night, all.

DR MBarnum - The NY Times reviewed the new Bollywood movie, "We Are Family", which, as it turns out, actually gives a proper screen credit to the original movie that it is based on, "Stepmom". It's a short review, but one phrase did catch my eye:
"They both have chemistry with Arjun Rampal, the almost excessively handsome actor who plays Aman, Maya’s ex."
-"almost excessively handsome" - Do you agree with that assessment? ;)
-
Would you?

Bee Desserts Chocolate Honey Cakes
*And, yes, I just had one of the Almond ones. WOW! Smiley
OMG those look fantastic!!! Before reading the description it looks like honeycomb which I love. These look very intriguing. It is also possible I would be slightly allergic to them but heck, they look worth an itchy mouth. :)
To which part would you be "slightly allergic"?

Jog was fine. I wore sunglasses and no prob. Light is still bugging me, so I've just been sitting on the couch sort of watching TV in the dark.

I would say that "excessively handsome" is a very good description of Arjun Rampal.

DR MBarnum - Well, in retrospect, I guess my question was more or less answered as soon as I asked it.
-
Well, it's been a long day, and I have an early - for me - morning ahead of me.
Goodnight.

Conversation earlier tonight
Me: Maybe I'll tile my backsplash tonight
Mom: Nothing on TV, might as well.....
So....I am really tired and it's very late for me, but the tile is on the wall. I have to do a little creative work - especially around the outlets, and maybe cut a few glass tiles to finish up step one, but I'm too tired to do the detail work tonight. I'm not sure if I'll feel like grouting tomorrow or not, but that will be a piece of cake compared to the work I did tonight.
-
Too tired to grout.
-
I used the $150 in gift cards I got for listening to a talk by West Publishing at the meeting in Toronto to pay for part of the tile and supplies. The tile was still more expensive than I would like, but I have quite a bit to return, so this project will end up being fairly reasonable for a nice mosaic glass tile backsplash.
I'll post photos when I'm done.
-
SO, all that's left to complete my kitchen is replacing the vinyl floor and getting a new light fixture. Both can wait, since I've really spent more than I planned to this summer, but it's getting there.

Ok, time to mosey on up to bed. I have a full day at the office....night
