Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both a silk purse and a sow's ear, as well as a sheep's eye and a licorice tooth, and now it's time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently trying to make a silk purse out of a cow's ear and a licorice tooth and are not having much luck.

And the word of the day is: ADUMBRATE!
-
First respondent? Good morning, all.

TOD:
Cole Porter on the MP3 and CD player and will be until the paper is finished; it is now due Sunday.
Car CD: Disc 13 of "The Count of Monte Cristo."
DVD: Probably won't have time for anything.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
It's my last day of vacation. It's been nice.
-
We watched Despicable Me yesterday. It was fun.
We have no plans tonight.
Doc Martin has been moved from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon so no DM for us tonight.

Good morning, all! I am back to the weird dreams; last night's biggie was a cross between "Last Train from Gunn Hill" and "Tale of Two Cities," which began on a subway in Manhattan and ended up in the French Revolution and a search. I honestly couldn't tell you if the subway ran from Manhattan to France, or if I boarded in London, On the plus side, there were no guillotines and no bloodshed.
In another hour I leave for my barber appointment and I'll stop at the Post office in Radio City on my way back. After that, I've got more proofreading, and that's my day.
TOD:
DVD: Duchess of Duke Street, discs 2&3, Catch Me If You Can, which I've never seen
CD: Knickerbocker Holiday, Guy Haines, Catch Me If You Can, Tales of Hoffmann, La Cocarde de Mimi Pinson
VCR: cheap trash
-
good day
cough cough hack hack
I can see where my day is headed
-
Friday.
DR ELMORE I finished reading THE TERROR which was excellent!
-
from yesterday
TFNM covers
I prefer #3. Interestingly I first liked the style of #2, but seen with the other I don't like it.
-
Do the sows come home when the cows come home?
Can you make a silk purse out of a cow's ear?
-
Feeling better vibes for DR MICHAEL S.

TOD
plan to watch many things over the weekend but have no idea whatsoever what it will be
-
Nice article DR JOSE
-
Michael S - Please take care of yourself.
-
Thanks for sharing that article, Jose.
-
Larry - Your dream last night actually sounds great, all the excitement without the violence, if I'm reading you right. I'm no Jrand, but I think it bodes well for your state of mind last night.
-
CNN is promising a RARE interview with Beyonce.
Rare? Rare? She seems to be talking to everybody. Not that you can get too much Beyonce, but come on, CNN!
-
It's like the rare Sound of Music soundtrack LP that DR JMK found on Ebay.
-
Off to work. Oh well.
-
Jrand - If my amateur dream reading to elmore gives a false sense of good things to come, I hope you'll correct me.
-
Friday morning greetings! I really zonked out last night. Today I have to play the "Getting Ready Rag" and prepare for next week's road trip to the Atlanta 'burbs for Fr. Richard's church conference.
-
And the word of the day is: ADUMBRATE!
And The Song Of The Day Is: A FOGGY DAY
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And 12 hours from now, I should be in the intermission of our first preview.
-
~~~~~GET WELL VIBES FOR DR MICHAEL S~~~~~
-
Thank You, DR JRand and DR FJL.
-
And now...
We don't start rehearsal until 1:00 this afternoon - just a couple of minor tweaks - but I want to get in early to finish up my keyboard book, as well as double-check some things in the other orchestra parts/books. So...
Laters...

TOD:
WINTER IN WARTIME
and, if it arrives:
BARNEY'S VERSION
-
I'm also about halfway through MURDER AT THE MASQUERS and am enjoying it.
I hope to finish it today or tomorrow.

Break a leg, Jose!

"Marian the Librarian" was playing on my Ipod while Sugar and I were walking this morning. It made it very difficult to walk normally. Luckily, Sugar picked up the steps quickly. We had a break with "1900 Yesterday," but things got worse when "Gotta Have a Gimmick" came on.

PAGE DEUX!

I love Sugar.

Where's DR Laura with her video camera when we need her? ;)

I think next summer you should direct A TALE OF TWO CITIES! You are probably now Indiana's leading authority and I want your autograph.

Do you wear Doc Martins while watching Doc Martin?

DR FJL, thanks for the reading.
It was a very strange dream. One thing I forgot to mention was that I (think I was!) in Paris to find someone, but I have no idea to what end. It was certainly no Sydney Carton-Charless Darnay rescue.
I have returned from the barber and it's nice to have short hair again. I no longer look like an aging Bozo the Clown. The Radio City post office has two automated postal machines, and the one I used was clearly on its last legs. By the time I had obtained and paid for postage to mail two of my three packages, three customers had successfully used the other one.
It's good to be home!

How many here feel they spend their lives "Pushing" on "Pull" doors?

DR Michael S bronchitis begone vibes!!!
-
How many here feel they spend their lives "Pushing" on "Pull" doors?
"Midvale School for the Gifted," ;D Which was always especially funny to my family since Midvale is a suburb of SLC.

That popped into my mind, too, DR JMK! It was funny to our family because Richard taught in, and Rob was a student in, our local school district's gifted program.

Topic of the Day: last night, I went through a couple of boxes of CDs in my garage looking for a specific CD, "Pilgrim" by Ruthie Henshall. I was very happy that I was actually able to find it! While I was searching, I also found (in no particular order):
- Ron White's "Drunk in Public," (he's a comedian) autographed, numbered, limited edition (#21 of 50!)
- Murnaus' "Sunrise" soundtrack, composed by Timothy Brock and performed by the Olympia [Washington!] Chamber Orchestra
- "Carmina Burana," conducted by James Levine with June Anderson (this was the very first CD that I ever owned!)
- "New Music with Guitar," a compilation by David Starobin (this includes "Sunday Song Set" with baritone Patrick Mason)
- "Sacred Choral Works" of Domenico Scarlatti, sung by the Western Washington University Concert Choir (I'm on this CD!!)
- Bernadette Peters' "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" (AND the promo version when it was called "Desire" that a friend of mine gave me!)
- A compilation that I made of Liz Callaway singing Sondheim songs
-

The last variation on the Nudie art - I thought maybe it would pop even more, but I don't think I like it - I like where the lips are the only red - still it was worth the try.

BK, what if the lettering was in silver...like a silver foil overlay? I would think that the silver color would go well with the blue. Just a(nother) suggestion.

TOD:
DVD:
THE FREEDOM RIDERS, which is a fascinating documetary about a group of black and white "agitators," as the Gov. of Alabama referred to them, who pursued a nonviolent act of civil disobedience by travelling on interstate busses from the north on down through the south. Once the busses were in the south each bus was required by state laws to separate black and white riders. However those in these groups continued to sit all mixed together in both the "colored" and "whites only" sections of the busses, as well as congregating in the "white race only" sections of the bus terminals.
They were met by brutal beatings wherein the KKK and others literally beat the heck out of both men and women who were on the busses and by months end over 300 Freedom Riders were jailed, despite the fact that they not once fought back, as this was to be a totally nonviolent protest.
It was amazing. And the documentary had interviews with many of the participants, witnesses, and newsmen who were coving the story at the time.

The police were instructed to wait and let the mob work over the riders for 15 minutes before showing up and then arresting the riders! It was stomach churning.

And yet hate like this still continues in the US, although gays, Muslims, Hispanics, and others have been added to the list.
It sickens me.

It is Friday and I will have a private session with an extremely handsome personal trainer this evening. I am certain that it will help me attain some of my goals.

Some people just feel better if they have someone or some group to hate, or they are just so fearful of those who believe, look, or worship differently.
What really gets me are the amount of Gay friends I have who are very prejudiced against Hispanics and I have Jewish friends who constantly show hate towards Muslims or anyone Arabic.
You would think that those who are part of an oft discriminated against class would show more compassion, but evidently that is not the case.

The hate literature on Obama from what I consider the extreme crazy side of the Republican Party during the last election was horrifying; it was encouraging some fool who believed their bullshit to pull an assassination attempt.

There were 8 (count-'em-8) new contestants, and this season's twist is that they had to pair up with one another to form four couples...and then three previous couples were brought in: "Evil" Dick and Danielle (father-daughter), Jeff and Jordan (boyfriend-girlfriend) and Brendon and Rachel (indescribable, but afianced nonetheless).
The first HOH competition was won by Rachel who agreed to not nominate either Dick or Danielle at the end of the competition (both Dick and Danielle were solid in the competition, but Dick struck the deal with Rachel and allowed her to win).
Rachel: OMG! As much fun as she can be, she is equally obnoxious and unnerving. And that LAUGH. OMG!
Dick: The most recent report is that Dick is "missing" and no announcement has been made as to what has happened. He's not on the feeds (as of last night).
Nominees for eviction: Newbies Keith and Porsche.

Knowing what it felt like to be discriminated against there was a time Jews were known for defending the rights of blacks. Have you asked why your friends show hate towards anyone Arabic? Is it that they feel discriminated against first? I know how that feels.
It is a shame the opportunities for understanding & friendships that are missed by not meeting each new person as an individual vs identifying them with an entire group of people.

More BIG BROTHER spoilage........................
Ah yes, DR RLP, BIG BROTHER is starting out to be quite fun this season! Interesting that Dick and his daughter still do not speak to each other. Dick is so gross....of course, Danielle does not look so good either, with that black hair, but she is nice enough, I guess. Actually, I think I like her simply because she does not seem to like her father at all.
Very glad that Brendon is back (too bad it has to be with Rachel in tow) as well as Jeff and Jordan who I can NEVER get too much of....they just make me smile so much. I honestly would watch a show that was just the two of them.
As for the newbies...so far Lawon seems interesting, but the heavy metal guy drove me crazy...I guess the model girl might be intersting, also and that the amazingly horny youth minister should prove to be entertaining.

Thank You for all the First Preview Wishes! I will be sure to pass them on somehow to my fellow company members.

DR Ginny - Yes, we do have a banjo in our orchestra. His name is Phil.
-
I have not asked them, DR Jane, as they are not close friends...more like aquaintences. It is almost like they are thrilled that Muslims are now the target group to hate in American, and the heat is off Jews for the time being...so they are happy to throw fuel on the Islam fire, so to speak.
My gay friends I have asked, and they just seem to be way to stuck in their prejudices, which is maddening to me. Either that or they are just fooling with me in order to drive me crazy, thinking that it is a very short drive.

Did the four-mile jog and came home to an e-mail that the clean-up phase of Nudie Musical begins this evening. Apparently they do this on their own, but I told them not to start until I either go there to chat with whoever's doing it, or chat on the phone with him. That will happen in about an hour, I'm told.
-
I have a lot to do between now and Sunday. I'm going back to England and Scotland. I had been emailing my friends in Scotland about visiting and then heard about a couple of concerts in England----one in Liverpool and one in Gateshead. I was fortunate to be able to use frequent flyer miles for the flight over, so how could I not go?
If by any chance I had won that meet-Barbra contest, I would have had to have changed my itinerary considerably. But I would have done it!

I wish I could have gone to Broadway Barks tomorrow! Any New Yorkers going?

Just had a nice chat with the boys who'll be doing the clean-up - they sound great and are doing it all the right way - not just turning on some software program, but dealing with each separate problem on a case by case basis. I told them the most important clean-up is to get rid of the two cue marks at the end of each reel, and to try and clean up the end credits as best as possible. I think they'll find that most of the light marks are at the heads and tales of the reels. Their plan is to be done on Monday morning, and then I go in, they put me in a QC room where I watch all the way through on a big plasma TV. That should be fun. Anything I see that I may not like, we can then fix - everything they'll have done and that we've done thus far is all saved in a computer.
-
I see my reply ended up in the quote again.. oh, well!
You can always click on "modify" cut your comment & paste it below the last "quote". ;D
I'm sorry you didn't win the contest but expect you will be having a grand time traveling.

Thank you, MBarnum, for the info on "The Freedom Riders." I had seen the set at Costco, but I wasn't quite convinced I wanted to watched it. Now, I definitely do. But not until I finish this last paper.

Except now I am thinking of Allan Sherman.
How's your sister Ida?
She's a Freedom Rider..

Almost time for The Soup!

I was E and T because I was finishing up staining the garage. Got the last side done, whew! Now I have to get the deck done. It's really bad and that's where I want to have the party. The forecast literally every day between now and the party is rain. RAIN! How can I paint a deck in the rain? Tomorrow it's not supposed to rain until evening so I'm going to get up really early and try to tackle the thing in the morning. It will probably need two coats, but if I can at least get one on I'll be happy

Today my nephew proposed to his girlfriend and she said "yes"....she is now a fiance. They've been living together and have a child so it isn't a big surprise, but she wasn't expecting him to get down on one knee on the dock at my parent's place at the lake. She was surprised. Good Job Dave!!

Jose should be done with the preview/...hope it went well....I'm sure it did.

I invited about 35 people to my party next saturday. I wasn't thinking, just clicking and not really counting all the clicks on names on the email as 2 people, which most of them are. I've only had a total of 4 people say no. SO, I really have to clean up the back yard and pray that it doesn't rain. I also need to really clean the rest of the house, in case it does rain....YIKES!!
-
On the other hand, I'll have everyone paid back and most of my projects will be done.

Ok, not much to talk about... none of the cats watched me out the window tonight, makes me wonder if they knew I was home working outside

I am giving up ice cream for a while. I am not happy about it.
-
I have discovered plumcots, though. They are very good.
-
Wow. You've been busy, Cillaliz.

I've been pacing myself, actually. Instead of a marathon staining session, I did one side of the garage every other day. It was much easier on my body and was only 1 1/2 hours a night. I would take tomorrow off from working, but the rain forecast really has me worried about getting the deck done. I never sit out there, so it's dirty, the paint is peeling and I still haven't painted the boards that were replaced last summer. I also have to figure out how to plug up the knot holes that have fallen out...or the knots have fallen out? Anyway, a heel could easily get caught and I have friends who always wear heels.

Well, lots to do tomorrow. Think I'll empty the litter box and go to bed

I've gotten about nine pages written and I keep rewriting it. It's more the paper the professor wants than the paper I want to write. What I've gotten out of all this work, however, is a renewed appreciation for Cole Porter's musical gifts. Kern may be the better melodist, and Rodgers, too, but Porter excites in some gut-level way that keeps me going back for more.

Good Evening!
One down... 95(+?) to go!

Thanks again for all the Vibes and Well Wishes.

DR Cillaliz - Couldn't you just buy a couple of cans of Rustoleum? ;)

I have a lot to do between now and Sunday. I'm going back to England and Scotland. I had been emailing my friends in Scotland about visiting and then heard about a couple of concerts in England----one in Liverpool and one in Gateshead. I was fortunate to be able to use frequent flyer miles for the flight over, so how could I not go?
If by any chance I had won that meet-Barbra contest, I would have had to have changed my itinerary considerably. But I would have done it!
July 14 and 19 aren't that far away!
U2?

In other news...
It's been a long week, and I'm really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning. -But in order to do that, I must get some sleep, so...
Goodnight.

Good night, all.

And with this post, today does not become the lowest day of postings.

Finished with my viewing for the evening. I wonder how the clean-up session is going. It's a little unnerving not being there, even if just to see and learn how they do all that, but I gather that this is fairly routine. I found out today that this same lab did the new West Side Story hi-def transfer for blu-ray, so I think I'm probably in good hands.

I just read about the new West Side Story Blu-ray...it sounds like it's going to be pretty spiffy.
