Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a lot of Zarathustra, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - thus spake the cows.

Good morning, all! I feel better this morning than I did last night when I went to bed. I thought the salad I'd had for dinner was going to be the death of me. I did sleep poorly, though, up and down many times during the night, with peculiar dreams: the last one involved Joshie and Rob Berman, the orchestra reading of WHERE'S CHARLEY?, and a lot of frustration I cannot remember now.

I have to accomplish a few organizational things for this week's recording sessions today, walk down to my pharmacy at Lincoln Center for a prescription, and stop at the market. After that, my day is wide open. I think I'll stop at Staples and pick up a few more storage boxes to ship things to Ohio, come back here and do some tidying before I go back to Season Five of BONES.

I have to think about the TOD.

I am groggy this morning. I stayed up till 1am reading ROOM: A Novel by Emma Donoghue. I'm only half way done. But I could not put it down.  I read a lot of good books. But I usually can manage to put them down. But this book is just so heartwarming. I can see why it has gotten such rave reviews!

I've listened to the complete Chandos recording of DON GIOVANNI in English, orchestrated 20 bars of a Gershwin Medley for Ron Raines, made my bed, tidied up, and I'm ready to go out for some exercise. I have to walk to the pharmacy but I may stop in the Juilliard book store to browse for a bit.

Today is my friend Chris' birthday and he's off to Maryland to see his family, so I guess we won't se the Facebook movie this weekend. If he hasn't seen it, perhaps next weekend I can take him for his birthday.

Re:  PAINT YOUR WAGON.  I have very fond memories of a number of films that a lot of people hate (or at least dislike) simply because I remember my eldest sister taking me to the theater to see them.   I still can remember seeing things like SCROOGE with her, especially when we lived in Seattle.  I still remember coming out of the theater in downtown Seattle where we saw SCROOGE and finding that there had been a huge snowstorm while we were watching the movie and the entire city was coated in several inches of snow.

I've had my walk and, since I've returned with prescriptions, storage boxes, and groceries, I've cooked chicken cutlets for the week, washed my salad greens, put away the other groceries, opened today's mail, and now I'm going to pull more books for Ohio.

Tomorrow morning, I will do the laundry and walk back down to the market for the celery and onions I forgot to purchase today.

I've been spending lots of time in the guest room and I have to say it's really a soothing room.  Mostly because of the nice view and the warm sunshine (east and south exposures).   I've decided that as few guests as I have, and the fact that when I do, they usually only spend one night, I'm going to do a major change.   I'm going to get rid of the bed (the mattress is almost brand new - hopefully I can find someone who wants it) tear out the carpet, take off the wall paper, paint, get an area rug and a sleeper sofa, put my stereo and my old recliner in there and make it a music room/den. No TV.  It's the warmest room in the house.  The woodwork is pink, so that's going to have to be painted and none of it can be done until the cat is healed and I can let him out of there, but I really think I'm going to like it.   I won't have a "real" guest room, but I will have a sleeper sofa in there. That should be good enough

And if all I have to buy is the paint, a rug and a sleeper sofa - (or futon, depending on what I find) - it will be relatively inexpensive.  All the furniture stores have had tons and tons of sales....think I'll start looking

DR Cillaliz - I spend a lot of time in the room on the southeast corner of our house, too.  It was Rob's bedroom until his freshman year of high school, when he moved upstairs.  I claimed this room as mine and moved my closet and dresser out of our bedroom, making it much more restful for DH Richard when I had to get ready for work (summers, alternate Saturdays, and everyday after he retired) and giving us both more closet space.  The rest of the room is what he calls my "haven" - easy chair/footstool, desk, bookshelves, TV, craft stuff, etc.

I just finished watching the Mexican film LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD (1959). It features the characters Red Riding Hood, Fercious Wolf, and Stinky the Skunk.

Once I got over the initial shock of this Spanish language feature's somewhat bizarre characters, I had to admit that I totally enjoyed it! I don't know if I could have made it through the English dubbed version, but this original version was kind of fun...and kind of weird.

Hello, everyone.

I'm the weary and bleary one today. My next-door neighbors had a guest(s?) over last night. Noise. The people across from me in the next building had a party. More noise. I don't go to sleep particularly early, but I would like it quiet after midnight. It didn't quiet down until 1 am. The noise is really a problem for me, even when I'm not trying to work. I simply don't like it. How does one know if an apartment will be quiet? This one was very quiet when I viewed it. sigh.

No TV.  It's the warmest room in the house.  The woodwork is pink, so that's going to have to be painted and none of it can be done until the cat is healed and I can let him out of there, but I really think I'm going to like it.   I won't have a "real" guest room, but I will have a sleeper sofa in there. That should be good enough

OK, so what are you going to do tomorrow?   ;D

LOL, this will be a slow project.  Depending on the diagnosis and recovery time, Ricky could be living in that room for several weeks.  I go sit in there for about an hour at a time now, reading or working on stuff for the office or playing on the computer.  I'll have plenty of time to plan this.  It just hadn't really occurred to me that I'm wasting a perfectly good room on the chance that someone will want to come and sleep in there.  It's been 4 years and although I've had a number of guests, most don't stay for extended periods of time.  They can use a hidea a bed or a futon

There were just too many factors.  First of all, she has a dog, a small dog, but a dog none the less.  Secondly, she smokes - a lot.  And even though she couldn't smoke in the apartment, the smell would still invade my home.  I feel very selfish, but I just can't have someone else taking up half of my living space.

However, if Jake Gyllenhaal should need a place to stay for the next seven months, I might reconsider.

Of course, I do.  What I meant when I said you have a house is that even with a house, you realize how impossible the situation would be for you or for me.  If she had asked for a place to stay for a week while your apartment was being repainted; well, we could probably have figured out something.  But she is asking to stay almost seven months with a dog and several cartons of cigarettes in my little two bedroom apartment.

I just had a very hot whirlpool bath, unloaded the dishwasher, loaded the dishwasher and mad myself a very hot cup of chai tea.

Does any know if "Dames at Sea" with Ann-Margaret and Ann Miller has ever been released on DVD?

It hasn't been officially released, but, it is available.
Any hints as to where? Ebay, which I haven't checked in ages? It's not on Amazon.

PM me, DR John G.

I just remembered that I got "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" from Netflix.  I'm watching it now.

Jake is definitely nice to look at. ;)

Re:  PAINT YOUR WAGON.  I have very fond memories of a number of films that a lot of people hate (or at least dislike) simply because I remember my eldest sister taking me to the theater to see them.   I still can remember seeing things like SCROOGE with her, especially when we lived in Seattle.  I still remember coming out of the theater in downtown Seattle where we saw SCROOGE and finding that there had been a huge snowstorm while we were watching the movie and the entire city was coated in several inches of snow.
And I have a great memory of seeing SCROOGED at one of the midtown Manhattan movie theaters that seemed to seat thousands. The snow was gently falling on the city as we left that.

I have posted a series of four videos on Facebook, memorializing Miss Dixie Bell's  cemetery walk.
Sorry to hear about Miss Dixie Bell.

Watching Alice Faye emote in "Fallen Angel." Not exactly a pretty sight.

Went to a soup party tonight where six soups were served. None was hot. Most needed salt and not a shaker in sight. Five were loaded with starches that I shouldn't be eating. Am I complaining?

It was also a pumpkin carving party. Though I didn't do a jack-o'-lantern, I did bring home the seeds, which I've toasted and topped with a great Chilean spice called merken. Just realized why I like the spice so much: tastes like hot dogs.

A friend talked me into joining her in a dance routine for an upcoming holiday show. I couldn't make the Wednesday rehearsal, so I showed up today. She didn't. I learned the entire routine with someone else. When I got home, I found a voice mail from her saying she wasn't doing the show any more. Agh.

got a bit more work to do tomorrow, but I'm hopeful to find a couple of hours to watch "South Pacific." It's kind of like a reward for getting at least one article done. And my essay for my grad school application.

Well, the ending of "Fallen Angel" has somehow redeemed the movie. And I really like the theme song, "Slowly," which was co-written by an old acquaintance, Kermit Goell.

Both of these are fun.  But should anesthesiologists really be singing about how hard it is to wake up??

My art dealer pal has left the premises - we ended up doing a little trading - he got some stuff I had in the garage that I really didn't care about that much, and I got two incredible pieces in return - one of them is by Edwin Georgi - a story illustration for Redbook, I think - magnificent and I have the perfect wall for it.  Then another wonderful piece from Better Homes magazine (I think that's what it's called) from 1954 - very 1950s, a story illustration, and the model for the woman is instantly recognizable, I must say - Tippi Hedren.
