Well, you've read the notes, the notes were carbonara-like, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having some spaghetti cowbonara.
-
And the word of the day is: ATARAXIA!
-
Was delighted by the large pink moon that rose above Newport Harbor tonight..was lucky enough to be able to observe from a boat at sea....
-
Vibes for bk's show tonight--it sounds like it will be fantastic.
-
Those Harmon Kardon speakers....LUST.
-
Bruce, you did a great job choosing Melody's gifts.
-
Off to New York today....will check in from the East Coast.
Have a great week, everyone!

Cool!

True but i think OPI is the top selling nail polish for all ages, not just young girls ;)

I can't fall asleep and for the first time in weeks sherlock is being quiet.

God morning, all! The laundry is in the washers, and I'm on my first cup of coffee.
I really liked MY WEEK WITH MARILYN. I had read Colin Clark's first book about the making of the Olivier-Monroe film, THE PRINCE, THE SHOWGIRL, AND ME, in my last years at The Drama Book Shop, and I really enjoyed it. Since that was around 16 years ago now, my memory of the book is vague, but I believe the film adheres pretty closely to that. I liked the cast quite a lot - I'd forgotten how kind Dame Sybil Thorndike had been to Monroe while Olivier got uglier - and I thought Judi Dench made a great Dame Sybil. Michelle Williams only reminded me at times of Monroe, but I really liked her performance. I also thought Kenneth Branagh had the similar situation with playing Olivier, but it was a really wonderful performance. At the film's end I was quite moved by it.
So, today, once the laundry is over, I've got the EILEEN Act Three libretto to type up and several missives from Philadelphia to address, dome good, some tedious.
The photos the moon last night were truly awesome. Thank you, DRs Laura and John G!
DR George, I'm glad your birthday festivities are going well. I'm going for more coffee.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Thank you, DR Laura, for a moon in focus photo. I'm afraid I wasn't able to hold the camera steady enough in the dark to get that shot. (Something about tequila shots might have had something to do with it. ;))
-
Hi all!
Hope all are doing well and are happy.
Sorry for being E & T. There just is a lot going on and I have a lot on my mind here lately.
The surveyor came and did their thing. It was really interesting to watch. I think they will have the space they need to put the room on. Yay!
-
Tonight is the season finale of TAR (2 hours). The preview makes the ending look crazy. So I am looking forward to watching this.
I am hopefully going to stay home today.Although i need to pick up something at the library. But that is only 5 minutes away.
-
I kept waking up a lot during the night. :(
-
My throat is actually not really hurting. But i'm all congested. So maybe this thing is running its course and now i have a cold?
-
BK sounds like you did a great job on Melody's present!
-
Nice pictures of the moon. Here there were some dark clouds covering part of it.
-
I am very hungry, but can't think of anything to eat.
-
Glad DR George had a nice party.Hope it continutes to be good today.
-
DR Vixmom glad you got to see your family. But i would have been super mad if loud kids had stopped me from being able to converse with my family. :(
-
I wanted to get a photo of the Super Moon, but when I went to do so, my camera batteries were dead. So....NO photo! 8(
-
Good morning! I missed the moon last night so thanks to DRs Laura and John G for the great photos!
-
Break leg vibes to MR BK & Co this evening.
Yes, as DR JENNIFER wrote, tonight is the two hour finale of TAR.....and I am hoping the golfers end on time....otherwise TAR will run into MAD MEN territory.....
-
DR MBARNUM I look forward to receiving said motion pictures......it is always fun to have something DIFFERENT to watch.
DR TCB - did you get to the that NEW Titanic series? I have it on disc if you would like a copy.
-
AND I remembered what was on the double bill with FORBIDDEN PLANET....it was FOREVER DARLING with Lucy and Desi.....which wasn't as funny as I wanted it to be. But FP scared me, except for the robot. We wore our pajamas......and by the time the monster appeared.....I had eaten the whole front of my pajama shirt, one button at a time.
-
Good morning. I'll have what the cows are having.
-
And the word of the day is: ATARAXIA!
And The Song Of The Day Is: A QUIET THING
-
Went to the library. Still can't think of anything appealing to eat. What i feel like eating i don't have. And i don't want to go out again.
-
hello, goodbye

Cilla, I must have been channeling you last night as I had a very vivid dream where I wanted a kind of parquet oak table that was at an Estate Sale, but I let someone else have it for $190. I remember this incredibly well, which is weird, as usually I forget my dreams.
-
I remember more about this dream: after leaving the sale I decided to take a little side road which I had never been on before, but it popped me out next to a freeway entrance where I knew where I was and I was heading off to Fred Meyer. Isn't that outre?
-
Good Morning on a lazy Sunday. The Kritzerland show sounds great-- break many legs!
-
It's been very overcast for the past few days so not much chance of seeing the Super Moon.
-
Done the laundry and the vacuuming. Chicken is in the oven because it's Roast Chicken Dinner Day! I think I'll have a nap now until it's ready.
-
The laundry and the EILEEN libretto are finished. I need to put the laundry awy, and I have sent thecomplete libretto to New World Records and to the producer for comments and thoughts.
Next up, ROBERTA.
-
DR JRand61, you've been in my thoughts the past hour. i'm listening to the great Dorothy Provine and her Roaring 20s recordings. Just the best!
-
Ir's been an hour between my two posts! Where the fat hell is everybody?
-
I'm here. Just doing laundry. :(
-
And I am going to watch episode 1 of Downton Abbey Season 1. I had been recording seasons 1 and 2, but had missed the very episode. So i decided to get the dvd from my library and watch the first episode to see if I like it.
Then I guess I can watch more of the dvd or watch from what i've recorded.
-
Although this dvd says original UK version. ANd i have no idea what they have been showing here.
-
My almost 3 year old niece decided she wanted to play the game GUESS WHO with me yesterday.
It's a game where there are 25 people/or 25 animals on the other side of the board. Two people play. You each pick one person/animal and then ask questions to try to guess what the other picked.
I play this with my other niece all the time.
-
Anyhow there was really no way a 2-3 year old could play this. But she insisted.
So i figured we'd each pick a person. And then we'd ask some questions and see what happened.
So i asked her my first question "is your person a girl". She answers yes (which is already not good since there are only like 5 girls). Then i say "is your person a red-head?". Well she says yes. But i realize she doesn't know what a red-head is. ANd since there is only one girl with red hair....
It turns out she was a blonde kid. So i asked her to pick another person, and this time to pick a boy (since there are 20 boys on the board.
She tells me" I am not a boy auntie, I am a girl and i will not choose a boy!" :)
I tried to convince her it didn't mean she was a boy. And that there were only 5 girls on the board. But she wouldn't budge. :)
-
Got to run out and play the last "Bye Bye Birdie".
-
DR JRand61, you've been in my thoughts the past hour. i'm listening to the great Dorothy Provine and her Roaring 20s recordings. Just the best!
I ain't no native - I was born here!

I am creating a DVD slideshow for an anniversary party.....which is kind of slow going.....as they say.
-
Hmmm.....a topic for Sunday.....hmmmmm......
Inspired by DR CILLA LIZ and the dream of DR JMK:
What is the best thing you have purchased at a yard sale.....AND what it the thing you put in a yard sale that you never thought would sell....and by golly....somebody bought it?
-
My best thing - among many - a framed set of 5 James Dean photos from the "sweater" session....for about $2.
Thing I thought would never sell - and did: half of a desk, it was only the 3 drawers with a flat unfinished top, no legs so it set flat on the floor.
-
went to church
-
went to breakfast
-
went to the cemetary to put flowers at Kyle's grave, met his dad there
-
stopped by my folks house

PBS tends to cut nudity, if there is any, and other things they find offenssive or off-putting in their "adaptations" of the British programs. The amount of USA cuts depends on whether it comes from Boston or another PBS station.

I've never seen anything more about that. what actually did happen?

LOL....that's what she replied to Tony Curtis in THE GREAT RACE when he asked her if she was a native of Burracho?
-
I'm up. The cell phone actually rang at nine and despite my attempts to go back to sleep, it didn't happen. Oh, well. At tonight's show will be Pogue - first time I'll have seen him since I went to Indiana to see The Brain. Hopefully we can have a meal or two this week.
-
And now Dino at the plano.

Most excellent, maybe he will wear the hat we gave him.....or you can wear your BRAIN shirts.

Well it wasn't the batteries. My camera e'st morte.

I'm sort of confused because it says original UK version on the dvd. But there is all kinds of PBS/Masterpiece theatre stuff on the dvd.
And I didn't record it from PBS. There is a station here called Vision tv that replayed seasons 1 and 2. So i don't even know if they are showing the PBS version.
I ended up not starting it right away. I still have 2 more loads of laundry. But i have the dishwasher going.
-
And I am also trying to make a Mother's Day card (for my mom) and a birthday card for my aunt.
And I have 4 scrapbooking pages on the table i want to finish.
-
And I didn't start reading yet (i have like 6 books from the library).
So basically i am diong a hodge podge of things!
-
BK you should have a message on your phone that says PLEASE DO NOT CALL BEFORE 10am!
-
I wonder how late you would sleep if your phone wasn't always ringing. :)
-

Hello, everyone.
Add me to those under the weather. There's something down in my chest. Ugh!

They also cut language but in a helter skelter manner. When they first aired "Company," they bleeped words in the lyrics but the same words when used not in the dialogue. Go figure.
-
Hello, everyone.

Health vibes to all. The allergens have me down.
-
I had never heard of OPI. It sounds like a government acronym to me.
-
Sorry about your allergies, JohnG.
Yes, health vibes to all.
-
Show vibes for tonight!!!!
-
I feel your pain DR JOHN G
-
Hope the belated birthday celebration is going well, George.
-
Nice photos from both DR Laura and JohnG.
-
I am happy to have finally found a program that lets me add photos AND videos to my slideshow.
-
Anti-allergy vibes to John G.

Jennifer, maybe you're looking in the wrong place? I sometimes have a fickle appetite, but I never thought of looking in the library. ;)
-
Chicken is in the oven because it's Roast Chicken Dinner Day!
Don't tell DR Laura's DH that!
-
Did I miss discussion here of the passing of George Lindsey, who played Goober Pyle on ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW and MAYBERRY R.F.D.?
One of my favorite character actors. He was 83.
-
What is the best thing you have purchased at a yard sale.....AND what it the thing you put in a yard sale that you never thought would sell....and by golly....somebody bought it?
Good question. I once sold a rug I had purchased in Mexico many moons ago. It was in great condition and I always liked it, but I was moving and trying to pare down. It wasn't the sort of thing I expected to be popular in the DC area. But you only need ONE buyer, right? Once I had a buyer I kept thinking I should have asked more for it. But it needed a new home.
-
LOL JMK, I wouldn't have paid $190 for the table I got. $25, you bet
-
I can't even think of the best thing I got at a yard sale. I have some really cool stuff I've gotten at total bargain prices. There was a sale last summer that was almost all antiques.
I had a quarter on a bunch of pans that were burned and in bad shape, they came from a box at an auction. every one of them sold.that surprised me. I do price things to sell.

I've discussed this previously, spoiling many things in the process. ;D
PBS slightly edited the original broadcast versions--nothing major, just a clip here and there. It's mostly noticeable in the abrupt cuts in the music cues. The DVDs present the original unedited versions.
-
LOL JMK, I wouldn't have paid $190 for the table I got. $25, you bet
Well, I didn't either. ;D
-
Thing I thought would never sell:
That painting on velvet that my husband picked out. It was hideous.

Great news, Danise!
-
Well, now that I'm all caught up, I need to leave. I have to take a shower, get dressed and go to my sister's for the family's celebration. My sister and niece sent me a gift certificate for Amazon.com, so I already have that. I'm sure that I'll just get more gift certificates/cards, which is fine by me. :D
Until later!

No wonder you kept waking up. Vibes this finishes running its course very soon!

The pie fight was the best part.....interesting that every time Dorothy dragged her boa over Natalie....it was a closeup of Natalie and Dorothy's double.

I think....but I'm not sure yet....that Golf will end on time!!!

You didn't miss it. I've been watching for something before posting the news.

Dear God In Heaven it's a Sudden Death in Golf.......hopefully they overage will just be taken out of the local news.....heaven knows 60 MINUTES won't give up the ad time.

I was wondering if it was a double for the close-ups.

Jennifer, the DVDs of Downton Abbey are uncut. The BROADCASTS are cut.
The episodes here run 1 hour. But i noticed that the episodes on the dvd run a bit longer. Do you think there is a big difference? I've watched the first two on the dvd. But will probably watch some of the others from what i recorded.

I really really really liked THE HELP.

I didn't record it when it was on PBS. BEcause i had other conflicts on Sunday night. But when i saw they were playing both seasons on another channel i started recording. But then i realized i missed episode 1.
I don't know for sure that that is show is for me. I like it. But it's not really the kind of show i would usually watch. I'll keep watching and see. I am up to episode 2.
-
And i've done like 6 loads of laundry. My humidifer leaked because the line that shows how full it is is not working. So i had to use a ton of towels to clean up. And then i had to wash all those towels.
Plus i decided to wash all my comforters (i have a bunch on my bed). Although i probably should have waited till i am not sick anymore. Although i am definitely feeling better.
-
I finished my aunt's birthday card. And part of my mom's Mother's Day card. And finished a few scrapbook pages i had been working on.
-
Now i am eagerly waiting for the finale of TAR. I"m not sure who i want to win. I think the most deserving is blonde Rachel and hubby. Although I like Rachel and Brendan (I know most people hate them) and would like them to win. I am so-so on the Border Patrol guys. I don't think they are particularly nice. But they have come first a lot of times. So they would be semi-deserving. The team that sort of bus me is the dating couple (forget their names is hers Vanessa?) They are not really too good. Almost always come in last or near the end. I think if they won it would be shocking.

I got that I was only making a reference between tv quality & DVD quality.
I liked the show well enough in the beginning but it wasn't until the 2nd season I really loved it.
-
DR Jane, my tv quality is very good. So that's not an issue.
I think the season 2 finale is on this week for me.
-
Off to watch some tee and vee.
-

Sorry I meant station quality, not tv. Living where we do we can't get PBS which is the only station I know that airs the English shows.

Still need to remake my bed which i hate doing.

I wish that Celebrity Apprentice was on at 8pm too, so i could alternate.

Just watched the first episode of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy." I like these John le Carre stories, but I have never quite fallen in love with them. Maybe by the second or third episode.
Still, Alec Guinness and Ian Bannen are pleasures to watch.

I had a great time at Texas Frightmare Weekend in Dallas.
Sold many more books than at any other autograph event I've ever attended. In fact, I sold out copies of my memoir.
Heading for home tomorrow morning, a 3 hour drive.

Our 45th high school reunion is coming up and I have sent a few messages via email to find info for classmates. Keith has done some sleuthing and found more than I did with my quick search. I just sent a message to the grandson of Moe of the Three Stooges.

TAR is 2 hours so you can alternate the last hour.

Sunday evening greetings! I went to church in Lima today for the first time since Easter Sunday. When we got home, I took a 30-minute nap and then drove to Cincinnati for dinner and some Vera Bradley-ing with my friends. Hope I can stay awake to watch MAD MEN. Have to find a recap of last week's episode, which I missed because Mom was sleeping in our hotel room and I didn't want to disturb her.

Just found Brent Barrett's song from last week's show on youtube:

He's introduced by Angelica Page (Geraldine's daughter).

For some reason even though i started TAR at 8:20pm I did not finish till 10pm. So no alternating for me.
I still have to finish putting my bed together. And then i will start on CELEB APPRENTICE.

Hmmm.....a topic for Sunday.....hmmmmm......
Inspired by DR CILLA LIZ and the dream of DR JMK:
What is the best thing you have purchased at a yard sale.....AND what it the thing you put in a yard sale that you never thought would sell....and by golly....somebody bought it?
Tough one to answer, because I'd have to sift through a decade or more of yard (or "tag" in this part of the world) sale adventures to determine what the top few things were. One that always comes easily to mind, though, is an early-1960s Fisher tube receiver, all original, in the wood cabinet, working beautifully, for ten dollars. I drive by that house a couple of times each week, and never fail to think about that.
EDIT: It's one like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-FISHER-500-B-STEREO-TUBE-AMPLIFIER-RECEIVER-ALL-ORIGINAL-TUBES-/190668404282?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item2c64b8f63a#ht_1555wt_952
As for part two, I've never put anything in a yard sale. No, that's not exactly true. While I'd probably never have one myself, I have contributed things to, say, community sales and the like. And to thrift shops. But honestly, I don't remember what I was surprised to see get snatched up. The greater surprises are the things that didn't get snatched up, and I'm talking some fairly nice books and records and even laserdiscs and such, when contributed to library sales where people go to look for this stuff. You just never know.
-
Greatest find at a yard sale? A number of cast albums when I was younger, including "Donnybrook," which I stillw ant on CD. I also remember finding a rolling pin that I still use for pie crusts and the like.
-
Night, all.
-
I made $39.50 at the yard sale and I think I spent about the same amount. So that was great. Since I never used the stuff I sold and to me it was all junk, I came out way ahead. Mom said I was crazy to price things as low as I did, but almost everything sold, so I think I priced it just fine
-
I was fine with TAR tonight and very happy with the ending of Celebrity Apprentice. I must admit I was going to give up on the show completely, but read some spoilers online and decided to keep watching.

I love this song! He sings it beautifully. Thanks for posting, KevinH. :D

Well, today's birthday celebration at my sister's house was nice. I got a couple of gift cards, a new comforter AND a new cable modem for my computer! It's up and running and running quite well. I'll eventually hook up the router to see if it works...and stays working. I've had trouble in the past where I'd hook up the router and everything would work for a while but shortly afterward, my modem would just stop working. As soon as I'd take off the router, the modem would be fine again.

Great party with orchestra pals. Great food, a fire in the chiminea and great friends. Tomorrow, back to protein, veggies and fruit. After one last red-velvet cupcake!

Back from a great show - the only downside of which is the boys did end up using lyric sheets with two song exceptions - I won't allow it to happen again. One of them had done his song perfectly at sound check, no problems at all - then he brought up his lyrics when he did it in the show - and, of course, it becomes a total crutch and they worry more about finding their place and "think" they're forgetting things when if they didn't have the crutch, they would remember. He got a ton of laughs on the song, and every one of those laughs were in places where he was off the page. He blew a few laughs thanks to looking down, trying to figure out where he was, and just taking the audience right out of the song.
-
BK, Congrats on the successful show!...other than the using of the lyric sheets.
-
Darn...the new cable modem has been working very well, BUT the moment that I hooked up the router, the modem stopped working. :P Something is going on and I want to find out what it is. Larry, my sister's boyfriend who got me the modem for my birthday, will have to come over and look at everything. Hopefully, he can make it all work the way that it's supposed to.

At work on Thursday, it was suggested to me that I be at some meeting on Monday, but I wasn't told what it was about or what time it was actually happening. Since I usually get to work by 10:30, I hope that the meeting is after that. If not...oh well and too bad. I'm pretty sure that it was only a suggestion that I be there, so I really don't have to worry about it if I don't make it in time. But just in case, I'm going to go to bed now and try to get to work a little earlier than usual.
-
So on that note (C-natural), I'm off to bed.
Good night, all. 8)
