And now - our two new releases - they'll be live on the site at six, but if you want them before that you know what to do.
Kritzerland is pleased to present a new limited edition soundtrack CD – two great scores on one CD:
THE FLY
and
RETURN OF THE FLY
Music Composed by Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter
“HELP MEEEEE”
The Fly began life as a short story by George Langelaan. Twentieth Century-Fox snapped up the rights and hired James Clavell to write the script, his first screenplay assignment (Clavell would go on to write the screenplays for The Great Escape, 633 Squadron, The Satan Bug, To Sir, With Love, the latter which he also directed – he also become a very successful novelist, turning out such books as King Rat, Tai-Pan, Shogun, and Noble House, all of which became either films or mini-series). Kurt Neumann was in the director chair. He’d already done a couple of sci-fi films, Rocketship X-M and Kronos. Of course, The Fly was both science fiction and horror.
A top-drawer cast was assembled, including young Al Hedison (who would soon change his name to David), Vincent Price, Herbert Marshall, Patricia Owens, and the child actor, Charles Herbert. It was given the Cinemascope and color treatment (shot by veteran cameraman Karl Struss). And it was a smash hit with audiences everywhere, grossing $3,000,000 on a budget of $700,000, in at time when those figures actually meant something.
In those days, sequels were not all that common, but after the success of the first film, Fox decided to do another Fly picture, Return of the Fly, which was rushed into production and released a year later.
The scores to The Fly and Return of the Fly were written by the team of Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter. Beginning with just the kind of bombastic and memorable music you’d want for a movie called The Fly, Sawtell and Shefter immediately introduce the theme for the happy couple at the film’s center, and it establishes immediately the human element of the story, which is so important for any sci-fi or horror film. From there it’s classic Sawtell and Shefter, with the scary music and the human music balancing out each other and creating a symphony of terror and things gone wrong, all in that unbelievably great Fox stereo sound. It’s one of the great sci-fi/horror scores. Return of the Fly is equally strong as a score and it’s not just a rehash of the first score, which is refreshing.
The Fly and Return of the Fly were both previously released in a box set on Percepto Records (which also contained Curse of the Fly, composed by Shefter alone), which has been long out of print and hard to find. For this reissue, we decided to just present the first two films, since they were made only a year apart and were both composed by Sawtell and Shefter. We’ve done some cleanup work and remastered the sound, combined a couple of shorter cues and removed the “Fox Fanfare” since it obviously wasn’t composed by Sawtell and Shefter. Both scores are complete – The Fly in glorious stereo, and the low budget Return of the Fly in glorious mono. So, turn off the lights and bask in the eerie glow of two classic sci-fi/horror scores by the great team of Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter.
The Fly/Return of the Fly is limited to 1000 copies only. The price is $19.98, plus shipping.
CD will ship the last week of August – however, never fear, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.
and
WALLANDER
Music from the original Swedish TV series
Music Composed and Conducted by Adam Norden
Believe it or not, it didn’t all start with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. No, Nordic crime novels, movies, and TV shows had been around long before. One of the most successful of the Nordic crime authors was Henning Mankell with his series of Wallander books – they were beautifully written and seemed like naturals for movies and TV and so we first got a series of Kurt Wallander movies based on the books that had been written to that point in the 1990s – those starred the wonderful actor Rolf Lassgard. Then the decision came that Wallander would start up again, this time as a TV series (with occasional movie releases), called, simply enough, Wallander. That was great news for Wallander fans. This time we got a new Wallander, Krister Henriksson. As good as Lassgard had been, Henriksson was even better, perfectly embodying the character. The first series consisted of thirteen ninety-minute films and was shot in 2005/2006.
The composer of all series one’s thirteen films was Adam Norden. A prolific composer, he really captured the essence of the films and the characters with his evocative and perfect music. His music is a key element in making those films unique. The scoring usually consists of recurring themes for Kurt and Linda, and the approach to orchestration is usually spare and filled with interesting textures and melodic invention, somehow capturing perfectly the loneliness, the cold, the sordidness of some of the crimes, the despair. Most of the music is contemplative in nature, but there’s some wonderful action music, too, especially in the “Mastermind” film.
While some of the music has been available as downloads only and only outside the United States it has never had a proper CD release. The show now has so many fans, thanks to its being aired in the UK and elsewhere (and now on DVD) that doing a CD release seemed like a no-brainer. The selections as presented here were personally chosen and assembled by Norden (who also contributes to the liner notes) and are from his masters, which he owns.
If you’re a fan of the Wallander films, especially of that brilliant first series, then this will be a lovely souvenir of the music that made that series so memorable. If you haven’t seen the series, the music stands perfectly well on its own and is a wonderful listening experience.
Wallander is limited to 1000 copies only. The price is $19.98, plus shipping.
CD will ship the last week of August – however, never fear, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

I posted this yesterday, but wanted to make sure that those who needed to, saw it:
And speaking of sending things...I realized (and finally accepted) that I have lost my list of various movies that I was going to send to people, so if you wanted the Tony Awards, 1776, the 1929 Show Boat or the 1951 Show Boat, PLEASE let me know again and I'll MAKE SURE that I don't lose my list. :-\
AND if anyone else want these even if you didn't indicate that before, I'll be happy to send them to you, too.
Apologies for the brain fart. ::)
So, let me know...actually, I do know these:
1776 (laserdisc version): Ben, Larry and Vixmom
What else??
-
And on that note (b-natural), I'm off to bed. 8)
Good night 47 guests.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
George, I don't need My Fair Lady, just the 1776 Laserdisc DVD.
Possible My Fair Ladys were Kevin H. and Larry and maybe one or two others.
-
Morning all. Just finished walking 2 miles.
Not much new to say since last night.
Glad all is alright with you and your friend, BK. It's never nice to have bad feelings between friends.
I won't give it away but "Falling Skies" was good. I just wish there wasn't so many commercials though it. It's almost worth the wait to the next night after it's recorded to be able to fast forward though them. If I could just wait to see what is going to happen but I really like the show and can't wait. :)
Vibes, happy thoughts and wishing all a wonder filled day!
-
One last thing, I just want to thank DR George again for doing the DVD's of the ACS for me. I really do appreciate it.
-
Good morning, all! I had my usual trouble getting to sleep, but once I did, I slept quite well.
I finished watching the Brit sitcom MIRANDA yesterday: 2 seasons, total of 12 episodes, and I didn't want it to end. It's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time, full of slapstick and rude humor, reminding me a lot of ONE MAN TWO GUVNORS. A nice surprise wasTom Conti showing up as her dad in the last episode. Most of my day was spent putzing about the apartment on various projects.
On Saturday, a friend sent me a download of the complete 1994 performance of VERY WARM FOR MAY at Carnegie Recital Hall. I had attended the dress rehearsal for John McGlinn to keep an eye on orchestra balances, and I had on iTunes a download of all the musical numbers, but I hadn't heard the whole performance since 1994 until yesterday. It was so much fun to hear it: Greg Jbara's final "All The Things You Are" still makes me laugh at his rendition and weep at the beauty of the moment.
So, I will shortly head downtown to the McGlinnventory to pick up more of the things gping to the Library of Congress and tote them up to Toyland for shipment. I must be back here by 1, since it's a repeat of last Thursday's debacle with Time Warner. On a positive note, boding very much good for the day, the package in Dublin held by customs was released and delivered about an hour ago.
-
DR George, I would love a MY FAIR LADY! Thank you for the offer.

George, add me to the My Fair Lady list and to the two Show Boats list.
BTW, I finally made it to a post office Saturday, so you have something come in snail way your way.

Had just a moment, so I ordered the CD's. Of course.....PayPal has a NEW format and it took me longer than it usually does....so I am now a few minutes late.
Thanks, Paypal.

I will sit down with my DVD recorder soon, and hopefully arrive at some agreement with it so that y'all can also enjoy the 1936 SHOW BOAT.

Musical: 42nd Street
I wasn't there for Opening Night of 42nd Street (I assume you're talking about the 1980 Gower Champion show) but I was there that Friday evening. It opened (after only 6 previews) on Monday, August 25th. The next day I got in a car and began the move to New York City from Coon Rapids, MN. We arrived on Thursday morning and I settled in to my temporary digs at 14th Street and 9th Avenue. The next night (Friday, August 29th) we went to 42nd Street and after the show we went to the late, lamented Jimmy Ray's. It was a wonderful show and a great evening. A wonderful way to begin life in New York. Then, exactly one week after I arrived in New York, I became a real New Yorker because I got mugged at 11:15am on 58th Street and Broadway as I was walking up to Lincoln Center Library. I never told my mother because she would have insisted that I move back to Minnesota (not that I would have).
I've now been here almost 32 years (August 28, 1980) and I wouldn't change it for the world.

that was the first show I ever saw on Broadway, but by the time I saw it, Mary Cadorette had taken over the Peggy Sawyer role and Millicent Martin was the diva. Seeing 50 people tapping all at one time was a great intro to New York theater.

Ah! Interesting. I also thought of Burton's HAMLET this morning.

It looks like the excellent vibes and xylophones for the transfer of One More Kiss may be working, so keep 'em coming strong.
Continued "One More Kiss" vibes!

From Bruce:
Had an e-mail response from you-know-who. He did not recognize me, apparently - he knew I was there but was confused because it was such a big group. He was waiting for someone to call him Steve so he'd know. He apologized, so all is well.
I'm glad the response was friendly. I'm guessing this has happened with other people & is an issue with him.
He's in his 80s. Who knows what his eyesight is like. And by his own confession, if he were even sober.
:o :o Steve drinks? :o :o
He and I smoked a lot of marjuana together at a party after a Gay Men's Chorus concert around 1982!

Interesting! Weather bug said it was 70 degrees about a half hour ago. It is now 67 degrees. Global cooling?

George, I don't need My Fair Lady, just the 1776 Laserdisc DVD.
Possible My Fair Ladys were Kevin H. and Larry and maybe one or two others.
I'll add Kevin to the list...just in case...and unless I hear otherwise. :)

This move nonsense gets crazier and crazier. I am neither amused nor happy about the current thoughts but I want this Institute out of my life.

TOD:
Play: The Life And Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby
Musical: 42nd Street
I wasn't there for Opening Night of 42nd Street (I assume you're talking about the 1980 Gower Champion show) but I was there that Friday evening. It opened (after only 6 previews) on Monday, August 25th. The next day I got in a car and began the move to New York City from Coon Rapids, MN. We arrived on Thursday morning and I settled in to my temporary digs at 14th Street and 9th Avenue. The next night (Friday, August 29th) we went to 42nd Street and after the show we went to the late, lamented Jimmy Ray's. It was a wonderful show and a great evening. A wonderful way to begin life in New York. Then, exactly one week after I arrived in New York, I became a real New Yorker because I got mugged at 11:15am on 58th Street and Broadway as I was walking up to Lincoln Center Library. I never told my mother because she would have insisted that I move back to Minnesota (not that I would have).
I've now been here almost 32 years (August 28, 1980) and I wouldn't change it for the world.
A college friend of mine who's now a wardrobe mistress and dresser on Broadway was raped by a fabric store owner in her first year in Manhattan. She didn't tell her parents either.
Maybe she should have told her parent's that one so they could provide emotional support her while she prosecuted him.

Back from a sandwich and no fries or onion rings and picking up no packages.
When I think sandwich I don't automatically think fries or onion rings ;D

DR TCB I believe you have sent your cold weather down to us.
Good. It is supposed to be 74 today, but it is already 70, so it may go higher.
It had made it to 72. We were able to wait to walk Yogi instead of going first thing this morning.

I am home, and I need to vacuum before Time Warner shows up and begins crawling over the modem and plugs under my computer table.
The buildng management on West 27th Street boggles me. They know that we'rekeeping the office space, only the name of the company is changign and that Packard is moving out in the next couple of weeks, but they won't let us move the 23rd Street office in until 8/01! This is ridiculous. Why can't we move in on 7/31?
If your wires are anything like mine you have to worry about the Modem and Plugs crawling not the the guy from Time Warner. I swear they do crawl when you are not looking because I don't know how those wires get so tangled up by themselves!!!!!

I got a new remote today as well. I guess I will see if the accompanying instructions show me how to use the DVR. Why the fat hell isn't there an instruction manual?

Hi all. I think the Prius is dead, well mine at least. I was in a car accident this morning. Got T-boned and pushed into a utility pole. They took me to the hospital by ambulance and I was there for about 4 hours. They did x-rays and nothing broken, but my shoulder and ribs are really really sore and I have lots of tiny cuts from all the broken glass. We have a local photographer who shows up for this sort of thing and puts them on Facebook, so I shared them on my page.
-
I am very very lucky that I wasn't hurt worse.
-
Morning all. Just finished walking 2 miles.
Not much new to say since last night.
Glad all is alright with you and your friend, BK. It's never nice to have bad feelings between friends.
I won't give it away but "Falling Skies" was good. I just wish there wasn't so many commercials though it. It's almost worth the wait to the next night after it's recorded to be able to fast forward though them. If I could just wait to see what is going to happen but I really like the show and can't wait. :)
Vibes, happy thoughts and wishing all a wonder filled day!
Danise I recommend waiting to watch the show. Watching without commercials is more enjoyable, especially for a suspenseful show like this one.
I know but I just can't wait to see what is going to happen.

DR Cilla I just saw your post on FB & checked to see if you were here. I'll look at the photos later. You mentioned meds, as in pain?
VIBES YOU HEAL EXTRA FAST!!!!

I got a new remote today as well. I guess I will see if the accompanying instructions show me how to use the DVR. Why the fat hell isn't there an instruction manual?
Did you figure out the wi fi? If not let me know and I will try to help. I think your remote should look something like mine so I might be able to help with that as well.

~~~FEEL BETTER QUICKLY AND VIBES OF ALL KINDS!!~~~
-
I am very very lucky that I wasn't hurt worse.
You are very lucky. Ribs can take a very long time to feel better. Remember to take good breaths. When my ribs were bruised I found I was taking shallow breaths and had to concentrate on breathing properly.
Those little glass cuts sound painful too.

Vibes and xylophones worked and the helper will be picking up the transfer at four and bringing it here. I'll be at my engineer's by seven to mix.

William Asher is dead. The shocker, for me at least, is that he was actually alive! He must have been in his 90s. Who knew?
-
Glad Cilla's back where she belongs and in one piece, albeit a bit bruised.
-
Now we need excellent vibes and xylophones and hope that Capitol did as we asked and saved their session to Pro Tools 9 instead of the latest version. I sent them that info three times and hopefully it got passed along - if they didn't do what we asked, then it's another day while the engineer has to do the conversion at his day job - in that case we'd mix tomorrow night, but man, I really want to get this thing done tonight, so send them strong vibes and xylophones.

Had a Weetabix for breakfast but an hour later at the coffee shop I felt so hungry that I had to have a bacon roll.
I'll see your bacon roll and offer you a bacon cup.
I wonder if I can make those with vegetarian bacon.
That looks good. But i would not put salad in a bacon cup (since the salad is vegetarian)!
-
Is anybody here watching Big Brother or BBAD? I can't believe how much i like BBAD.

The weather was very hot and humid here again today.

Healing VIBES (of relief!) to Cillaliz, and a few more VIBES for good measure that Capitol followed instructions!

So...that IS you on the stretcher, then. I was wondering how you managed to get a photo of yourself on a stretcher (I figured you had connections with the media!!).
I'll reiterate what I said on FB that tomorrow is the day you're really going to feel this...I think. Don't plan on going to work tomorrow. At all.

Is anybody here watching Big Brother or BBAD? I can't believe how much i like BBAD.
Am "glancing" at Big Brother. Two wrong things there: Mike "Boogie" and the brother of Russell Hantz (the most-hated player of Survivor EVER). Willi Hantz talks "big" like Russell, but I'm hoping he'll actually turn out to be a better man. So far, not much has happened. Am following via Hamsterwatch.com.

I do have a bit of house news.
The lady from Frigidaire sent an email to Angies List and copied me asking for an up date. I didn't say anything because, quite frankly I didn't know what to say. Anyway, Angies List wrote her back and said they had heard from the contractor and that they hope to have the entire project done by the end of August.
I don't know what to think but unless they get a move on I don't see how it could all be done by then. Not that I don't hope that it is true.
-
I had some bacon on my turkey sandwich today - yummilicious. Waiting for the helper to arrive with the Pro Tools session on DVD. I won't know whether they followed instructions or not until I get to the engineer's. Keep them most excellent vibes and xylophones coming.
-
My sister openly spiked the punch at our sister in-law's baby shower. She wouldn't listen to me when I insisted doing so was inconsiderate. Obviously the mother of the baby couldn't drink any punch and why tempt my mother who was sober that day. Fortunately my mother stayed away from the punch. I didn't realize at the time that my sister also had a problem, which she never admitted to even after she completely stopped drinking.

I feel exactly the same way. I think what I find the most scary is that is the only time in my life that I can't honestly say or know what happened. All I know was that I was sitting on the couch and all of a sudden everything seemed funny. You could have said "shoehorn" and I would have laughed my head off. Then I had to go to the restroom, stood up and passed out. Next thing I knew, they were pouring coffee down my throat but there is lost time there and some flashes. And like Forest Gump, that's all I have to say about that.

Isn't there a double disk DVD set coming out of both Show Boats?

I've been sending large files using DropBox and have great success.
Is it just www.dropbox.com?
yes
But you have to set it up on your desktop. It's really easy

Hi all. I think the Prius is dead, well mine at least. I was in a car accident this morning. Got T-boned and pushed into a utility pole. They took me to the hospital by ambulance and I was there for about 4 hours. They did x-rays and nothing broken, but my shoulder and ribs are really really sore and I have lots of tiny cuts from all the broken glass. We have a local photographer who shows up for this sort of thing and puts them on Facebook, so I shared them on my page.
Thank God you're okay!
Yes, glad that you are ok.
-
OK, home from camp. Time to make some headway in the backyard while the DP is still at work (and working after work today!!) and then it's off to Legally Blonde rehearsal where we are staging the opening number. Omigod!!

From Bruce:
Had an e-mail response from you-know-who. He did not recognize me, apparently - he knew I was there but was confused because it was such a big group. He was waiting for someone to call him Steve so he'd know. He apologized, so all is well.
I'm glad the response was friendly. I'm guessing this has happened with other people & is an issue with him.
He's in his 80s. Who knows what his eyesight is like. And by his own confession, if he were even sober.
:o :o Steve drinks? :o :o
He and I smoked a lot of marjuanaat a party around 1982!
This site gets more shocking by the minute
It's an outrage, isn't it!??? If I weren't afraid of being consumed by hell fire, I'd tell a baldfaced lie about never having done such a thing myself!
Well, I can say I've never done such a thing and it IS the truth. :) I've never even tried a cigarette and the only time I got drunk was when I didn't know I was drinking at the time. Some ex friends thought it would be funny to put slow gin in my drink.
That wasn't funny. I got slightly drunk on spiked punch once and was very annoyed. If I'm going to get drunk I want it on my terms and on the good stuff, not a lousy punch.
I feel exactly the same way. I think what I find the most scary is that is the only time in my life that I can't honestly say or know what happened. All I know was that I was sitting on the couch and all of a sudden everything seemed funny. You could have said "shoehorn" and I would have laughed my head off. Then I had to go to the restroom, stood up and passed out. Next thing I knew, they were pouring coffee down my throat but there is lost time there and some flashes. And like Forest Gump, that's all I have to say about that.
OMG you passed out!!! How much did they let you drink!!!!

You can see the returning cast from THE CLOSER to the spin off MAJOR CRIMES.

I've been told Fritz is also returning.
-
Oh, and the first season of "Alice" on DVD arrived the other day. I can't wait to begin watching!!!
-
Thanks so much for the good wishes and the vibes.
-
Fritz - the guy who plays him is on The Newsroom. Don't know that he'll be a regular, but he's already been in 2 episodes and his character is in a "serious" relationship with one of the main characters

It won't be the same without Kyra, but still could be very good.

And if I set it up on my desktop, I can send you a link or something and you could download my files? Would YOU (or anyone I'm sending the files to) have to install Dropbox to get the files?

Okay, so what I have so far is:
1776: Ben, Elmore, Vixmom
My Fair Lady (audio only): ChasSmith, Elmore, John G., Ron
Show Boat (1929): John G.
Show Boat (1951): John G.
Tony Awards: ??

I hadn't heard. That would be cool, if they were.

We don't have HBO & now without NetFlix I'm not sure when we will get some of these shows.

I agree.

Cilla I hope you sleep well tonight.

Did you talk to your parents before they heard from other family members?

Cilla I hope you sleep well tonight.
I have muscle relaxants and hydrocodone for pain. I'm thinking I'll sleep fine....it's the waking up that I'm concerned about.
-
Did you talk to your parents before they heard from other family members?
When I saw George taking photos, I actually tried to call them from the accident scene. I wasn't thinking that you'd have to be his friend on facebook to see them. Anyway, they weren't home. I got a hold of them from the emergency room. So, they heard from me.
-
On a happier note, my brother got to go home from the hospital today
-
LOL, I think you should be concerned about the waking up part.
Can you work while on those meds? I wouldn't be able to, but then muscle relaxants don't agree with me and hydrocodone makes me throw up.
VIBES THEY AGREE WITH YOU!

A relief I'm sure.
How did he know to show up at the accident? Were you FB friends before he took the photos?

Great news about the brother of DR Cilla! CONTINUED HEALING VIBES!

With the demise of the iDisk (really stupid of Apple to have done that), we're now using Dropbox - it was set up for me very poorly originally and we've been trying to figure it out ever since. We've spent hours today learning and reorganizing, making new folders so that we're ONLY sharing folders that are relevant, rather than everything that we have in there. It's complicated, but I think we've actually figured it all out now.

2 miles down!
-
DR Cillaliz, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident and I'm very thankful that you're OK! Please ask someone to check on you tomorrow.
-
2 miles down!
You're way ahead of me, DR Danise! Today I did a mile and a third on the treadmill and 1300 steps on the NuStep. Tomorrow morning I start a 6-week water aerobics class.

Is anybody here watching Big Brother or BBAD? I can't believe how much i like BBAD.
Am "glancing" at Big Brother. Two wrong things there: Mike "Boogie" and the brother of Russell Hantz (the most-hated player of Survivor EVER). Willi Hantz talks "big" like Russell, but I'm hoping he'll actually turn out to be a better man. So far, not much has happened. Am following via Hamsterwatch.com.
I don't know why but i really like Willie. He does look and sound like Russell. But I"m not judging him by that. I think it could be interesting with the coaches. Do they leave when their team loses? Janelle was referring to something called Halftime on BBAD. Do the coaches enter the game? I don't know that i think that is fair. But i am loving the coaches twist.

"The Wayward Bus" CD: excellent! (Like I expected less??)
-
I love the music from The Wayward Bus. I shall now be on my way to mix One More Kiss.
-
I want ice cream.
Or vodka and tonic.
I had a gin and tonic with dinner. Now I want the ice cream.
-
Vibes for CillaLiz. I hope you get a great night's sleep and enjoy those painkillers. Glad to hear about your brother, too.

I did 2 this morning so it's really 4 miles total for today. When I get the 3 mile dvd it will be 5 miles a day total.
-
Wow Danise, I'm very proud of you!!!

That's great. I have to start doing likewise.
-
Thank you! :) I'm really going to give this a go and try to get this weight off of me.
-
Two miles in the morning and three in the evening. But until I get that other dvd it will be two and two.
-
'Night all! Hoping DR Cilla has a peaceful night.
-
At the gym today a new person in town asked me about the hiking trails which cut into my time on the treadmill. I only did half a mile today instead of 1 mile, but I did it in six minutes. Aside from various weights I did 25 minutes, instead of 20, on the stair master and 15 minutes, instead of 10, on the bike. We also walked Yogi for about two miles.

'night

DR Danise - are you using the Leslie Sansone DVDs?

Night, all.

DR Cillaliz, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident and I'm very thankful that you're OK! Please ask someone to check on you tomorrow.
Paul is going to help me go to my car in the morning and get everything out of it. I'm also hoping to hear from the insurance people in the morning about getting a rental car (my ins covers it). Since it was posted in FB and I told people it was me in George's photos, lots of people have posted and called tonight. I'm sure I'll be checked on tomorrow. The best thing is I didn't hit my head at all, not even on the airbag, so there are no concerns about a concussion etc. Thanks for your concern. I'll check in here when I wake up
-
DR Danise, I had already decided to start working on a diet. My exercise may have to wait, but I have a refrigerator loaded with fruits, veges and healthy food.
At the hospital they asked if I have any medical conditions....I said "Well, I'm fat" they laughed. I'm determined to lose weight too.
-
I've been told Fritz is also returning.
Oh, good. I like Fritzy!
-
I decided if I'm going to feel worse tomorrow I better get a shower before bed. It felt pretty good. I did get a piece of glass out of my arm. It looks worse that I thought, but I got it cleaned off, put on some neosporin and sort of bandaged it. I'm icing my shoulder and just took my med. Just need to ice my ribs and then will probably try to go to bed.
-
Back from a completely frustrating and crazy but ultimately rewarding mix. I'll talk about it in the notes, but Capitol screwed up the transfer somehow - a whole tone too fast - we had no idea how such a thing could conceivably happen. It was touch and go for a while, but my brilliant engineer figured out how to fix it with a vari-speed plug-in - it took about an hour for him to figure it all out, but then it was all perfect - we had the original CD to compare it to. There were other really interesting things, but I'll save it for the notes.
-
Tack.
-
Bra.

Puss puss.

You can add an email address to the folder for access. Like mine, or whatever. I'll be able to access the folder. Yes, the other person would have to have drop box

Apple made a stupid decision getting rid of iDisk. I think it may come back, though. In some form.
