Post by: bk on September 29, 2010, 12:06:54 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no mention of Miss Otis despite Miss Otis being in the title of today's notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they are having no trouble ranting today and are especially happy that one of our ensemble girls is named Shannon CUDD.

Good morning, all!

I had most peculiar dreams last night, none of which I can now remember, but I do remember that my dad was in at least one of them I suspect a lot of it has to do with my reading FOOL and its KING LEAR source; as you may or may not recall, I've been living KING LEAR since my dad, around 1990, gave/sold his empire, the construction business he began in 1965, to my two brothers, Randy and Macbeth, and the oldest son became Lear's youngest daughter Cordelia, who wanted nothing of the family business. So, until my dad's death in 2007, I was the one called home to mediate/soothe/rationalize thngs whenever Goneril and Regan - I mean Randy and Macbeth - got into battles with my dad over the "company," bitching that he wouldn't stop trying to run it after gving it up, or plotted to overthrow the other, or became violent to each other's physical welfare. Randy's misfortune is that he married a sensble and kind woman while Macbeth found a hard bitch to support/enable his crimes against everyone.

So, reading FOOL has brought up a lot of subtext and a real longing to see my dad again, but such things can only happen in dreams or madness, so I'll dream. My mother took the other option,

Today, the barber at 10:30. Following that, edits with Mr Skip Kennon, and then home to whatever fresh hell comes down the road.

I too love the original KING KONG! And I love Fay Wray in it and in MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM. However, I find her terribly dull in every other movie I have seen her in as a leading lady.

Now, when she turned character actress in the 1950s she was truly wonderful!

Back from cardiac rehab, where they made me watch a couple of lame American Heart Association videos about heart-healthy eating.  When those were over, I listened on my iPod to a podcast that I'd downloaded from the American Theatre Wing - an interview with Gerard Alessandrini about Forbidden Broadway.  What's weird is that they talk about selections they're going to play and the actual tracks have been edited out.

I got a box we shipped back with "insufficient address" on it.  Now, mind you it is addressed EXACTLY as it was on the paypal invoice.  So, I don't really understand would could be insufficient about it, nor will the USPS be of any help since we did not purchase any of their costly "extra" services.  They said I could take it to the post office and query them - I thanked them for being their usual unhelpful selves.  I e-mailed the buyer only to have the e-mail bounce back.  I'll just let him contact me when he realizes that his package hasn't arrived and then he can explain the address problem AND the bounced e-mail and if the explanations are reasonable I'll send the package again, as long as I can use the postage that's already on it - if his explanation is not reasonable I will refund his money and he can go buy it elsewhere.

I got a box we shipped back with "insufficient address" on it.  Now, mind you it is addressed EXACTLY as it was on the paypal invoice.  So, I don't really understand would could be insufficient about it, nor will the USPS be of any help since we did not purchase any of their costly "extra" services.  They said I could take it to the post office and query them - I thanked them for being their usual unhelpful selves.  I e-mailed the buyer only to have the e-mail bounce back.  I'll just let him contact me when he realizes that his package hasn't arrived and then he can explain the address problem AND the bounced e-mail and if the explanations are reasonable I'll send the package again, as long as I can use the postage that's already on it - if his explanation is not reasonable I will refund his money and he can go buy it elsewhere.

Last week, I had 2 pieces of my out-going mail destroyed by the post office's machines.  Both had checks in them. 

I got one of the checks back...after I stopped payment on it.

And, the post office wonders why it's losing money....

That's awful, Elmore.

It's really gotten under my skin. I keep thinking of Bob Dylan's great song, "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and the destruction of the gentle by cruelty and hatred:

Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen
She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
And never sat once at the head of the table
And didn't even talk to the people at the table
Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle
And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger
And you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears
Take the rag away from your face
Now ain't the time for your tears.

Back from cardiac rehab, where they made me watch a couple of lame American Heart Association videos about heart-healthy eating.  When those were over, I listened on my iPod to a podcast that I'd downloaded from the American Theatre Wing - an interview with Gerard Alessandrini about Forbidden Broadway.  What's weird is that they talk about selections they're going to play and the actual tracks have been edited out.

That is a lot of polyps!  They can usually tell if they are cancer.  Some might be the kind that could become cancer.  Since you got them it won't really matter.  My guess you will be doing this again in three or four years.

DR George,

Keith briefly took a break from playing his computer game and was delighted to hear your good news.  He said to tell you congratulations, so I will.

Back from cardiac rehab, where they made me watch a couple of lame American Heart Association videos about heart-healthy eating.  When those were over, I listened on my iPod to a podcast that I'd downloaded from the American Theatre Wing - an interview with Gerard Alessandrini about Forbidden Broadway.  What's weird is that they talk about selections they're going to play and the actual tracks have been edited out.

How much did that cost you‽

Nothing, DR Jane.  It's from iTunes U.

Sorry, I meant to remove the last part.  How much did watching the lame videos.  Now I realize you watched them while using the treadmill.

This morning I headed out to meet up with my hiking group and ran into a road block where I sat for fifteen minutes in the "dead cell phone zone".   I didn't make it in time to hike with them.  Making this extra annoying is that the road does not need new asphalt and there haven't been signs warning us about the upcoming road delays.

I went to the local hiking trails, came home & took Sherlock back out.  I hadn't taken him because there is too much poison oak where they went.  Since I was done earlier than expected we went to Costco to get a few things.

Will you be interviewing your replacement?  Sounds like fun.

As soon as I saw the big red "I'm" I waited for the rest of the good news.

Yup, I'll interview, but not alone.  There were five people for my interview, this morning.  They're going to announce my current position soon and only internally.  That'll speed things up.

It was designed by Richard Neutra in 1951 and is SOO cool.  I didn't think I liked mid-century modern architecture, but in this house you feel like you are out in the open in every room of the house.  It's just amazing. the couple who own it are restoring it.  They bought it from the original owner

I feel so sorry for his family, and I'm so angry at the families of these dumbass students responsible I cannot see straight. Don't these idiots teach their children anything about ethics or morality?

What a horrible story. I hope it gets lots of publicity, though, and people learn not to do such stupid things. Are there any laws that would pertain to this?

I went out to get some chips and junk and decided instead to go to Jerry's and get a bowl of chicken soup to take home.  As I was coming back to the car and literally about a foot from the car door I tripped over something.  Usually I'm pretty good about keeping my balance, but I couldn't stop and just crashed to the ground - unfortunately it was not flat ground as I was at the end of a row and there was a raised curb there - my elbow got it pretty bad - no blood but a really nice, big bruise.  Miraculously, the chicken soup container stayed shut.
