Well, you've read the notes, the notes were wry and are now toast, and now it is time for you to post until the wry cows come home.

And the word of the day is: IMPETRATE!

First Post!

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I really should be in bed by now, but I went out after the show with my friend, Brendan, for a great late night diner meal. And as we are wont to say here on HHW: we laughed and laughed until we couldn't laugh any more... and then we laughed some more.
-
I also found out earlier tonight that next Tuesday's day rehearsal has been cancelled(!!!!!!!!). Originally, we were supposed to have our final full understudy-cast rehearsal next Tuesday, but after some lobbying from the dance captain - and since we're having a put-in rehearsal next Friday anyway for our Curly understudy - stage management decided to give everyone the day off. Well, at least the daytime off. We still have a show that night. So...
I wasn't planning on heading back up to NYC that day, but... However, I will be heading back Wednesday night since we're off on Thursday, so... We shall see. -I may make a trip down to Richmond since I haven't been down there in months. Or I may make a day trip up to Philly. We shall see.

bk - I hope everything works out regarding all of the "Nudie" stuff. It already sounds like it is, has. But to quote Mrs. Lovett: "Wait.". ;)

Goodnight. ;)

Just received in the mail the Warner DVD set Errol Flynn Signature Collection Volume 2. I love those classic Errol Flynn films. I already have volume 1 but for some reason didn't get round to buying volume 2 until now. Despite all these Blu-ray discs floating around, I still enjoy watching DVDs and I doubt that any of the films in this collection will ever go Blu. I also like the fact that Warner package these discs in slim cases which take up less space on shelves - one thing I'm really short of is storage space to put all these DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs, books etc. I can hardly move about the place without tripping over another pile of discs!

Morning all.
That is all.

Good morning, all.

I'm listening to an old album The Divine Miss M. I just put a bunch of CDS on my computer at the office so I'll be listening to many different things, as well as my usual appointment with Desmond Carrington at 2pm on BBC 2. I'll listen to the last of Simon Mayo and then ease into Mr. Carrington who broadcasts from his home in Scotland.

Desmond Carrington (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/presenters/desmond-carrington/)
I'm reading many books, via my Sony Reader. I'm reading the Kay Thompson bio (Larry read that earlier). I'm reading the new Wendy Wasserstein bio. I'm reading some early Nora Ephron books/essays plus I have lots of early classics that I never read or read a LONG time ago and I'm going back to them.
We have no viewing plans this weekend.

Now I'm listening to the Original Broadway Cast of the 1950 hit Guys and Dolls.

Yipes, it's so easy to go from posts to next day posts. I've got to go back and read the Notes!

Friday morning greetings! Today we must make Rob's bedroom habitable for his new bride, who's arriving this weekend for her first visit as a member of our family. She's bringing Keltie, her family's Westie, so I guess we've acquired a grand-dog, too.

It is Friday. A lovely breeze, a glorious sunrise. Perfect way to start the day.

Good morning, all!
Around 2:15am this morning, I awoke with acid reflux problems so I took a pill and went back to bed. After tossing for 30 minutes, I decided to get up for a bit, and around 2:45 I poted on HHW that I was wide awake. Ninety minutes later, after playing at the computer and downloading a few links to cast albums and live performances I was sent by a friend, I went back t bed. That was around 4:30, and when the alarm went off at 7, I ignored it. I am now bathed and dressed, unhappy that my scheduled events for the day are screwed up, and fighting headache.
I must go to the NYPL today and see if Pro-Quest has righted itself to let me dig through historical newspapers on line. I'll put offthe laundry I planned to do this morning until tomorrow or Sunday morniing. I really need a nap.

DVR:
I unhooked my machinery the other week in order to put the TV and all on a new stand. Haven't been able to get my DVD recorder to be able to record from my DVR, which is filling up fast! Of course, this has nothing to do with what I will be watching this weekend.
DVD:
A documentary on the Stonewall riots...either before Stonewall or after Stonewall...I forget which.

As for the Topic of the Day...
I actually went through my iTunes Library the other day and created a playlist of some albums that I don't think I've listened to ever since I bought the CD/downloaded the files/burned them to my iTunes library/etc. In no particular order:
Jeremy Denk - Bach: Partitas 3, 4 & 6
Ben Folds Presents: University a Cappella

Eldar - Three Stories
Etc., etc., etc...

In other news...
I was just browsing the DRG Records (http://www.drgrecords.com) website (for the first time in a long time), and noticed that there seems to be some sort of site-wide Sale going on. -Unless they're just listing their direct-from-the-manufacturer prices. I did notice that purchases are handled by myMusicandVideo.com -Has any DR dealt with them?

Went to the multiplex today to see TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY which I think has only opened in the UK and Ireland so far. Gary Oldman is excellent as the taciturn and inscrutable George Smiley, although he doesn't make one forget Alec Guinness' perfect performance in the original BBC TV adaptation. The film is photographed in a bleak greyness with no sun intruding as befits a cold war spy drama. It made a refreshing change to see a film without any explosions or car chases! Very fine music score by Alberto Inglesias - who also did the score for THE SKIN I LIVE IN which I saw last week.

Off to do some errands with Richard - bye for now!

DR George - Have you ever read the non-Kindle versions of the Benjamin Kritzer Trilogy?

Jose, OF COURSE I read the non-Kindle versions of the Benjamin Kritzer Trilogy!! I bought them all directly from BK himself, when he first wrote them. I got them WITH his autograph AND the CDs of songs that accompanied the books when purchased directly from BK himself, so I could've said that I'm reading the Benjamin Kritzer trilogy again...but I did specify that I'm reading "my new Kindle version" of the BK Trilogy.

Amazingly, I have heard not word one from the replication house. They were forwarded the e-mail they needed several hours ago. Communication is, apparently, not high on their list of job skills. The authoring house, who is owned by the replication house, communicates wonderfully, so I've got him on this. I just e-mailed the replication house, too, saying I would appreciate communication, a timeline for replicating the discs and when I can expect them. I would use the authoring house again in a heartbeat, but will think twice about where I replicate from now on.

All is approved and I'm told discs will ship to me on the 23rd, so I will definitely have them for Chicago. I told them to ship 100 to me via second day shipping, and the balance will come ground and should be here either just before I leave on the 30th or the day I'm back. Hoo and ray.

Yeah, that one was from the 1970's or 1980's , recorded off TV on someone's VCR.
It turned out by coincidence that the lady who's running the concert location - totally by coincidence - is a friend of my brother's, so we were invited to the party afterwards both by Harriet and by the person running the thing. I wonder if we get to eat twice as much because of that. :)

Nice :) I'm sure you will have a nice time.

Today I went with my neighbor to the west side of town to see the butterfly garden we planted last spring. Every plant was dead. Very sad. Then we went on the east side of town to the best-kept gardener's secret in town -- and I got two beautiful passion vines. Then I took Feathers and Shades back to adoptions. That about broke my heart. Happily, Meezy has been adopted.

A couple weeks ago I spotted a charge on my Discover bill that wasn't mine. I'd gone to the gas station and filled my tank. The charge for $54.69 was on the bill and correct. It was immediately followed, however, by a charge for $70. As I only have one car, the car has only one gas tank, and I hadn't lent my card to anyone, I knew that the $70 wasn't mine. I phoned and reported it, and was credited. A couple days ago I received a letter from Discover saying that they'd investigated the matter, the charge "appeared valid", and that they were reversing the credit. WHAT??!! This is the company that advertises "$0 fraud liability protection". I told them that the charge wasn't mine, the signature looks nothing like mine, and -- get this -- I'd reported the card missing. They never caught it!!
I phoned again today and I THINK it's been taken care of now. We shall see. I always though that "$0 fraud liability protection" meant that you're completely covered. Maybe they really mean zero protection!
I think I must have dropped the card without realizing it. The $70 charge was at the same gas station, two hours later. I know it'll be resolved in my favor, but one has to wonder at the way some companies do business.

In my CD player at work: the original Los Angeles cast recording of Play It Cool (http://www.amazon.com/Play-Cool-Original-Angeles-Cast/dp/B000H30MDU/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1316209477&sr=1-3), then Songs from Grease (http://www.amazon.com/Songs-Grease-1994-London-Studio/dp/B000005BHP/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1316209331&sr=1-1) with John Barrowman
I did the movie songs on the Barrowman recording.
OMG...you did! Cool!!
:D

A couple weeks ago I spotted a charge on my Discover bill that wasn't mine. I'd gone to the gas station and filled my tank. The charge for $54.69 was on the bill and correct. It was immediately followed, however, by a charge for $70. As I only have one car, the car has only one gas tank, and I hadn't lent my card to anyone, I knew that the $70 wasn't mine. I phoned and reported it, and was credited. A couple days ago I received a letter from Discover saying that they'd investigated the matter, the charge "appeared valid", and that they were reversing the credit. WHAT??!! This is the company that advertises "$0 fraud liability protection". I told them that the charge wasn't mine, the signature looks nothing like mine, and -- get this -- I'd reported the card missing. They never caught it!!
I phoned again today and I THINK it's been taken care of now. We shall see. I always though that "$0 fraud liability protection" meant that you're completely covered. Maybe they really mean zero protection!
I think I must have dropped the card without realizing it. The $70 charge was at the same gas station, two hours later. I know it'll be resolved in my favor, but one has to wonder at the way some companies do business.
DR Jeanne - Is it possible that that charge was the amount they "secure" when you pay-at-the-pump? I know that Shell will "secure" $55 any time a credit/debit card is used. Much like when you check into a hotel.
-
First off, thanks to all for excellent vibes and xylophones - they worked.
Second off, I'm back from a very late lunch at Hugo's - had a small Caesar and mac and cheese - was just in the mood for the latter.
-
Also did the four-mile jog.
-
Also picked up a couple of packages and no important envelope.
-
Greetings from chilly Northern Virginia.
-
Good news about the BluRays, BK!
-
OK...
I gotta show to do.
Laters...
-
Mike, when will you be in LA??
I arrive Oct. 7th and leave on the 14th.
I am sure the BK and I will be getting together for a meal or to, and I am hoping that you will join us!

Glad to see TCB here. Tom, I hope you're feeling better.
Hi Laura, hi Jeanne. I wish I could say that I do.
~~~Continued Feel Better SOON Vibes for DR TCB!!~~~
-
Thank you DR's TCB & George.
-
DR TCB I wish there were something I could do to relieve your pain.

DR TCB I wish there were something I could do to relieve your pain.
Thanks, Jane. I wish there was some relief available.
-
Do you have a surgery date? Any donations from co-workers for sick leave?
-
My follow-up appointment with the surgeon is still two weeks from yesterday; so, no surgery date yet. I did get two days of leave given to me that should show up on my check on the 26th.
-
Unfortunately, despite my explanation of why there was no money available in the bank; several of my creditors have continued to try and withdraw their payments - again and again. Finally my credit union has agreed to freeze my account for the next week, but that is not going to help pay all of the over draft charges.
-
DR TCB I wish there were something I could do to relieve your pain.
Moi aussi, DR TCB!
-
It is a shame they won't waive the fees since you attempted to stop the withdrawals. I'm sorry they can't freeze your account, except to you, for much longer.

It all seems like a bad dream. A really bad dream.

I thought you had a surgery date for the end of this month. Crap.

Nope, just the follow up appointment.

Is that good or bad, elmore? It sounds like the name of one of MBarnum's Bollywood films.

Don't know what happened to the public page for Kritzerland, but it simply disappeared off the face of Facebook. What is WITH that place? I started a new page, so go "like" it.
-

I was hoping they would set both up at the same time so you needn't wait too long for the surgery date.
-
Bruce, I have to go. Please do a reminder tomorrow if the page isn't found. Sometimes they are.
'night

I may take a handsaw with me to the appointment, just in case he is in the mood at that moment.

G'night!

G'night!
I'll second that

I'm listening to an old album The Divine Miss M. .
I love that album!

DR Elmore - keep us posted...
In other news, you'll be interested that my book group enthusiastically agreed to read Emile Zola's The Ladies' Paradise as our November selection. In the course of searching for a credible link to include on our website I found this interesting tidbit:
Lark Rise to Candleford Writer to Adapt Zola Novel for BBC1 (http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jun/17/lark-rise-to-candleford-writer-zola-adaptation)
Exciting news which I have shared with our friends who introduced us to the Lark Rise series. I think it is exciting as I haven't read the novel. ;)
Oooh, French depression. In multiple parts. Can't wait. Seriously.
-
I just got a text message about the Appalachian Christmas show: we will have a trial stage run in Hilton Head SC for five performances the 2nd week of November. Rehearsals begin in New York on Oct 31.
Fantastic! Congratulations, elmore.
Hallelu.

THE PRIVATE FILES OF J. EDGAR HOOVER:
I saw that when it first came out.
It was an interesting movie and, if I recall correctly, Broderick Crawford delivered one of the beat performances he's given in years.
Always wanted to see that movie. It never played Louisville when I was growing up.

Page six!

I'm listening to an old album The Divine Miss M. I just put a bunch of CDS on my computer at the office so I'll be listening to many different things, as well as my usual appointment with Desmond Carrington at 2pm on BBC 2. I'll listen to the last of Simon Mayo and then ease into Mr. Carrington who broadcasts from his home in Scotland.

Desmond Carrington (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/presenters/desmond-carrington/)
I'm reading many books, via my Sony Reader. I'm reading the Kay Thompson bio (Larry read that earlier). I'm reading the new Wendy Wasserstein bio. I'm reading some early Nora Ephron books/essays plus I have lots of early classics that I never read or read a LONG time ago and I'm going back to them.
We have no viewing plans this weekend.
Just bought the Kay Thomspon bio at the Borders sale. Post your thoughts, please. I remember Elmore's. I doubt I'll get to it for a couple of months.
-
What fun DR Elmore!
Thank you, DR MBarnum! I expect you to puchase and love the cast album!
Can't wait for the album.

In other news...
I was just browsing the DRG Records (http://www.drgrecords.com) website (for the first time in a long time), and noticed that there seems to be some sort of site-wide Sale going on. -Unless they're just listing their direct-from-the-manufacturer prices. I did notice that purchases are handled by myMusicandVideo.com -Has any DR dealt with them?
I have bought from them over the years with no problems and have received an email of a sale with some sort of code. If you want the code, send me your e-mail.
-
Food and wine tonight but not enough food. Ugh.
-
Good Evening!
It was nice to have a full house again tonight. :)

I used to order from DRG semi-regularly since I always found their mail order prices cheaper than any in-store sale prices. I also seem to recall them having a very nice end of the year everything-is-on-sale sale. As for the code... Hmmm... You could PM me. :)

So glad to hear of sell-outs. Hope the audiences for JRand are good this weekend as well.

We actually had thunder, lightening and rain this morning. It was so strange. I heard the thunder and it's been so long that I thought people were moving their trash cans in the street.
-
And...
Since my parents are coming down in the morning so we can celebrate the birthday of my niece, Alyssa, before I head in for my matinee...
Goodnight.
-
I'm glad you had rain, John. Did you get much?
-
Night, all.
-
I'm glad you had rain, John. Did you get much?
A decent amount, probably 1/2 inch. Nothing to quell the drought, however.

If anyone can shed some light on the public page for Kritzerland that has disappeared, I would appreciate it.

Back from a screening of The Ghastly Love Of Johnny X. More about that later.

So, I get home and I'm on the computer but then my connectivity to the Internet is crapping out...it's connected, then it's not, then it's connected, etc., ad nausium...just like last week! The lights on my modem are going all wonky (a technical term) and not the steady lights that they're supposed to be. I call Comcast and they talk me through everything they did last week, when I had to have someone come out and look at my computer (and then they couldn't do anything). AND by now all the lights are acting the way that they're supposed to...and Comcast says that they are able to get a signal and my modem is working fine. Crap.
So, I called Larry (my sister's boyfriend who took my computer after the Comcast guy who came to my house couldn't do anything) and it turns out that the box that he unchecked and made my Internet work, was checked again! He talked me through where it was and the instant that I unchecked it, I had Internet access again! WEIRD!! We don't know what causes it to be checked or why it's even there, but I now know how to uncheck it, if it happens again. And if it continues to happen, he said that I could uninstall whatever it is that has the checkbox.
:P
-
Very strange, George.
-
Very strange, George.
And VERY irritating...but at least I know what to try if it happens again.
