Well, you've read the notes, the notes were very 1996 but with a 2012 sensibility, and now it is time for you to post until the 2012 cows come home.

Topic of the Day:  I barely remember it, but I'm sure that I had Internet access at work before I ever had it at home.  The first access that I had at home was in an apartment when I lived in Lacey from about 1993-1998.  My sister's boyfriend had AOL and I used one of his screen names for my account.  I had that for a few years.  Shortly after I moved in with my sister in 1998, I finally got Internet through cable on my own and have had it ever since.  I barely remember dial-up speeds and am tremendously grateful for cable Internet. :D

TOD:

My sister Molly was the first member of the family to be on the Inner Web.  I watched her do some things at her house on her computer - and at the Phoenix Theatre some of the staff members were also on the Web.

I bought a computer in 1992 - a nice Tandy computer - for word processing....it was DOS based and did not have Windows.  In 1998, I bought an off brand computer and signed up with FreeWeb, a dial up service.

I joined EBAY that day, and I also spent many hours looking around for Frances Farmer and Allison Hayes information.

We went to the library and took out the Complete Series for To The Manor Born starring Penelope Keith. We began to watch it last night after dinner. We also have Mrs. Santa Claus with dear Angela. I guess they forgot to put that one away in the Holiday vault. I've never seen it so we will watch that as well, along with Strawberry Blonde with James Cagney and Olivia de Haviland, a PBS version of Room With a View and the Olivier and Greer Garson version of Pride and Prejudice. Lots to watch this holiday weekend!

The real netipot looks like a teapot and is reusable.

What you linked to (it's small so it might not be exactly the same thing) is their new squeeze bottle. Neilmed is the netipot company.

The squeeze bottle is reusable. You just rinse it out.

Good morning, all! I slept very poorly last night and I don't think I actually fell asleep before 3am. I am moving very slowly and I am very, very, very tired. At least I know I'll be going to bed early tonight, perhaps directly after lunch.

The cause of my anxiety? The state of the DEAREST ENEMY scores and my fears that a good friend who's very talented, isn't up to the task. I have to read him the riot act today and throw a fit, two things I am quite capable of doing at any time and place but which I'd rather not. So, this will be an interesting day. It isn't one I look forward to, however.

DR Ben, the new ROOM WITH A VIEW has a good cast - at times - but none of the greatness of the book or the Merchant-Ivory film, which I'd love to see in a theatre again. It's one of the few films in which I can still remember seeing for the first time and being completely swept up in its time and place; PSYCHO, TIME AFTER TIME, and E.T. are three others. There are more, but I'm too tired to think.

I watched SUPER 8 last night...and was rather disappointed.

The first hour was okay, rather fun, but then the story started getting pretty silly and it lost me, particularly the CLOSE ENCOUNTERS homage ending.

I would love to see the new "Room with a View" and the Greer Garson "Pride and Prejudice" again. I know the latter isn't everyone's cup of tea, and there are plenty of flaws, but I find the pace and the humor satisfying in a very Hollywood way.

Elmore, I remember seeing the original film of "Room with a View" on the big screen twice and each viewing feels almost as if it were yesterday. I've wanted to go to the Florence area of Italy ever since and see those poppy fields and the blue cornflowers. What great fun Judi Dench and Maggie Smith are in that one, and Daniel Day Lewis and, well, the entire cast.

Betsy also uses a netipot (or however it's spelled) and loves it.  I find it disturbing at the very least.  :)

I finished the premiere of DOWNTON ABBEY's second season last night.  The US version really is quite badly edited, especially with regard to music cues.  The BD will have the unedited episodes, I may just wait three more weeks to watch the rest once the BD is out.

I've been downloading to my iTunes the BBC Radio-3 broadcast of the Opera North production of Gilbert & Sullivan's RUDDIGORE, with my friend Hal Cazelet playing Richard Dauntless, the sailor dancing in the middle of the photo. I want Hal to play the romantic lead in DEAREST ENEMY.

Hal is also the great grandson of P.G. Wodehouse

We went to the library and took out the Complete Series for To The Manor Born starring Penelope Keith. We began to watch it last night after dinner. We also have Mrs. Santa Claus with dear Angela. I guess they forgot to put that one away in the Holiday vault. I've never seen it so we will watch that as well, along with Strawberry Blonde with James Cagney and Olivia de Haviland, a PBS version of Room With a View and the Olivier and Greer Garson version of Pride and Prejudice. Lots to watch this holiday weekend!

I love MRS. SANTA CLAUS; and since it is Jerry Herman you can have fun figuring out which song is in the place of BEFORE THE PARADE PASSSES BY, and which song is the elevon o'clock number.  Angela is terrific, Michael Jeter is sweet, David Norona is a cutie, and Terrence Mann is way over the top as the villain.  Sweet show, nice music.

Good morning, all! I slept very poorly last night and I don't think I actually fell asleep before 3am. I am moving very slowly and I am very, very, very tired. At least I know I'll be going to bed early tonight, perhaps directly after lunch.

The cause of my anxiety? The state of the DEAREST ENEMY scores and my fears that a good friend who's very talented, isn't up to the task. I have to read him the riot act today and throw a fit, two things I am quite capable of doing at any time and place but which I'd rather not. So, this will be an interesting day. It isn't one I look forward to, however.

I had some strange idea that in a bout 5-10 years I may want to get a camper and travel around.  So I went to a RV show today.  OMG they are very very expensive, plus the cost of a vehicle to pull it.  I could fly and stay in nice hotels many times before equaling the cost.  At least I can free the brain space I was using with that thought


My sister and brother-in-law have had several RVs.  I think there current model is a 32 foot motor home.  My sister says that the RV is not a vacation home for her.  She still has to cook the meals, she still has to do the dishes, she still has to make the beds, and she still has to do the laundry.  In addition, the beast only gets around 8 mpg, so it is not cheap unless you want to just park it in the driveway.

Well... Due to a change in the schedule, my afternoon session basically turned into one lone six and a half hour session for me. It all went very well, but, needless to say, I'm a bit tired right now. My eyes are tired, my brain is tired.

Thankfully, I don't start until Noon tomorrow. It will be nice to sleep in a little bit.

Good old Century Link left us without an internet connect or phone service all day.  I am pleasantly surprised they are back already.

'night

It's about time for me to start working on the spare room upstairs.  I think tomorrow I'll start working on the wallpaper removal.  Yuck.  Mom and Dad may need to stay here when we go to Joplin, so I need to have a place for them to stay. That means sort through the boxes in the office and get that stuff put somewhere so that the futon can be pulled out.

It's not really that bad, just some boxes that I moved up there last summer before the party.

The other room needs lots more work. I'd really like to get the wall paper off and the floor cleaned well.  I believe the painting can wait until spring.  I was going to get a day bed or a new sofa sleeper for the room, but they are really more than I want to spend right now, so I think I can take the big futon in the basement apart and take it upstairs and put it back together.  I think I can do that myself, but if it isn't possible, I'll ask for help.

Great concert. Start of the Beethoven festival. They did symphonies 1 and 3, very energetic. In the next six weeks, they will do all of the symphonies, while five or six of the chamber groups in town do various other Beethoven pieces.

The basement futon is really a good one and it doesn't get used down there unless we have a tornado warning, lol.   I'll take my old recliner down the basment....I think this will work and will only cost me the money for paint.

It was 75 here today, but the cedar is so high that I don't dare go outside.

We went to the library and took out the Complete Series for To The Manor Born starring Penelope Keith. We began to watch it last night after dinner. We also have Mrs. Santa Claus with dear Angela. I guess they forgot to put that one away in the Holiday vault. I've never seen it so we will watch that as well, along with Strawberry Blonde with James Cagney and Olivia de Haviland, a PBS version of Room With a View and the Olivier and Greer Garson version of Pride and Prejudice. Lots to watch this holiday weekend!

I love MRS. SANTA CLAUS; and since it is Jerry Herman you can have fun figuring out which song is in the place of BEFORE THE PARADE PASSSES BY, and which song is the elevon o'clock number.  Angela is terrific, Michael Jeter is sweet, David Norona is a cutie, and Terrence Mann is way over the top as the villain.  Sweet show, nice music.
Or, in this case, which song he stole from "Rags."

I was at work all day today...when I got there, it was raining.  At some point during the day, there was actually some sun shining.  It was mostly overcast, but sunlight could be seen. When I left, it had been snowing and I didn't even notice!  Talk about diverse weather!

I'm now actually watching the Miss America Pageant (don't judge me ;)), and someone in the audience who must be close to the audience microphone because she SCREAMS every time anyone's name is announced! :P

DR George, thanks, but mom and dad did watch it and since Jon didn't appear in the show, we really don't need any copies.  I REALLY appreciate you recording it though.

Not a problem. :)

Is anyone going to watch the Golden Globes tomorrow night?

I'll record it.  I'm ushering in the afternoon during the live broadcast, but it'll be rebroadcast as soon as it's over.

I wonder what Bruce Kimmel is up to tonight

I wonder what the king is doing tonight?
What merriment is the king pursuing tonight?
The candles at the court, they never burned as bright.
I wonder what the king is up to tonight?
How goes the final hour
As he sees his bridal bower
Being regally and legally prepared?
Well, I'll tell you what the king is doing tonight:
He's scared! He's scared!

They're in the talent portion of the Miss America pageant and Miss New York is singing a shortened version of "Disneyland"!  She's not bad.

I am back from a whirlwind trip to the LA area, during which I sat on my butt for two days of meetings. Not fun.

What a long, involved day.  I had to leave, of course, and never had time to come back until after dinner.  I did manage to do my finessing before I left.  I saw the matinee, I had a lovelier than lovely dinner, wrote about eight pages, went to a birthday party, came home and wrote ten more pages.
