Today the AC people are coming to fix it so I won't have to drain it every 2 weeks. Hoo and Ray! That also means I get to leave work at twelve thirty! Double Hoo and Ray!
Vibes to Cilla to get the check so she can get her new car!
Vibes to DR Elmore for his move.
SUPER PAIN FREE VIBES for DR TCB.
DR Vixmom you need to stop working so hard!!!
Vibes to each and everyone of you Dear People and our lurkers. I guess we shall have to start to refer to them as DL --Dear Lurkers.
Have a wonder filled Friday all!

Good morning, all! I have been up for some time, dealing with emails, banking and laundry. I wanted to use this free morning to do the week's laundry, and this weekend I may have another round depending how dirty this move out goes today.
When the laundry is finished, around 9AM, I will get myself ready for the day, stop at the post office on my way downtown and post a few corrected scores to Dublin. I meet Skip Kennon around 2 at Toyland, and I hope that he and I can move a few items of furniture about to empty one of the rooms.
I expect the movers any time between 4:30 and 5:00, and I hope this evacuation is painless and easy.
Keep them vibes coming!
-
I'm still awaiting word on when the move in occurs. Part of my weekend will be spent packing and sealing cartons here that I want the movers to cart down to the office for me: reference books and music that I can use there. We've got another week to accomplish that, but I want to be ready for the movers ASAP.
Well, Skip just sent me an email that he is in bad health, so there will be no moving furniture today. I will ponder my next plan of attack.

Loved Miss Laura's pictures from Oklahoma!/Arizona

Last night's audience was the most responsive we have had during the run. And of course that inspired the cast to be even better.
Hopefully we will have an equally responsive crowd tonight.
It is Friday, but I only have to work a half day. Hurray!!!

Oh well.

What a horrible story coming out of Aurora, Colo., this morning about the shooting at the show of the new Batman movie.

Jealous (or is it envious?) of seeing Lawrence at the Samuel. Not to mention Arabia at the Goldwyn.
CD: Seems to be empty at the moment.
DVD: WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HELEN? last night, WHOEVER SLEW AUNTIE ROO? tonight. Also, some Marx Brothers.

Nice pictures taken near Aunt Eller's farm, DR Laura.

Continued (apparently for the rest of our natural lives) moving and carting VIBES for DR Elmore.
-
Loving the change in weather. Yesterday was the first day in I Don't Know How Long that the a/c was off all day, windows were open, and nary a fan was turned on. Woke in the middle of the night to the most beautiful, perfect sound of a soft but solid steady rain...which continues even now. Most perfect sound and temperature for sleeping, ever.
-
Continued (apparently for the rest of our natural lives) moving and carting VIBES for DR Elmore.
Well, God love our DR FJL! He just called me to volunteer to come to Toyland this afternoon and help me out. He and Skip are two of the best. He also alerted me to the news about the shooting in Denver. WTF?
-
I'm sure if Anthony was here he would help you also. He's on Long Island this weekend and I'm headed there after work. I have an appointment with the optometrist tomorrow morning and then we are attending a surprise 75th birthday party for Anthony's aunt-in-law. He saw the eye doctor yesterday and he will be getting new glasses. I don't expect to get new glasses, since I got new ones last year.
-
I'm still a day behind. Since the world insists on this being Friday, I have no choice but to play along. But I KNOW it's Thursday, dammittohell.

I should drive up to your house. Been jonesing for some Jeanette MacDonald since I heard some of these movies were finally available on DVD. Too bad I have to watch a reality show being filmed here all weekend.

I had the same thought. Yet an ignorant mother who needs some air conditioning or just a change of scenery might. I had a friend who did likewise, but that was 30 years ago, when 20-year-olds had all the answers. Apparently they still do.

There were apparently a lot of kids there, but why would any theatre management allow a 3-month old baby into a movie theatre? I doubt it qulifies as a Child so they're most likely not making money on a seat, they know if the kid starts crying it will disturb everyone else, so WTF?
-
Yes, I know, most E and T. Hey, blame it on the very thing that brought me to this here site -- no, not DR ELmo, but theatre. Long story and I'll be back to explain when I have more time -- but the theatre beckons again this morning. The little kids' closing program for their workshop at noon, so need to go set out the set stuff that Cason created for them, and I need to finish the chrome paint on the car for the teen's summer stock of Grease. A thespian's work is never done...
-
Thanks for remembering my BD, even if you don't remember who the heck I am after being so E and T.
-
I will be back and will see if I can figure out how to post a photo or two from Cabaret -- that just closed 2 weeks ago and then you can have some visuals that can explain part of my E and T behavior.

A very happy birthday to you DR Miss Karen, it is always great to see you here if even for just a moment!

Well, gotta scram but thought I'd pop in and leave a mini-posting frenzy for DR Ronnie P since he loves them so -- although it's been so long he probably doesn't remember my MO and how he loves my multi-posts and me so much....

EEEEEEEEkkkkkkkkkkk!! (that's a loud, terrified scream since I have an accute case of coulrophobia -- now I'm traumatized on my BD, well, for life). Guess I'll have to go spend my BD money with my therapist...thanks a lot, Mikey!

Just kiddin'! Clowns are only mildly creepy -- I'm in therapy because of mimes, so as long as you don't post any BD cards with mimes, I'm okay...

Opening night went well. Few "fixes" to do during vocal warm ups today. Our Amneris is quite the air head. Even with a black Egyptian wig, she is still blonde and feels like the show revolves around her. Has trouble being aware of things around her, etc. Other than that, it was a great show.

LOL - I wish there was time, Larry. Although, they do know the opera does exist as there was a posting on our Facebook page from one of the kids of the Triumphant March from the opera. Many were confused, but the young lady playing Aida set them straight. How I wish there were time.
On that subject, I do plan to do a compare and contrast in the classroom at some point!

Yes, indeed, there is, DR Matthew, as part of the Opera In English series from the British label Chandos, with Dennis O'Neill and Jane Eaglen. It's available through Amazon. I'm not judging you at all. I think it's a great idea to interest your students.
Have you ever seen the old 1954 stop motion of the opera HANSEL & GRETEL, with Anna Russell as the voice of the Witch? It's also quite wonderful, but a little silly. It has its scary moments.

Thanks for the notes, all. Jessica Ghawi had moved to Denver about a year ago after living here. Odd thing, according to the news reports, is that she had survived a shooting only a few weeks ago.

Some movies it might be okay to take a three month old; but this movie is full of explosions and car crashes. It isn't like the child will sleep thru this movie.

Friday afternoon greetings! I've been home about an hour from my 30-hour trip to Lima for the 3rd annual synod of the Anglican Province of America Diocese of Mid-America.

There's a movie coming out this fall, GANGSTER SQUAD, about Mickey Cohen, played by Sean Penn.
I saw the trailer on imdb a couple of months ago, and there is a scene in which a bunch of goons are behind a movie screen and start firing machine guns through the screen into the audience.
I see that that trailer has now been taken down.
I wonder if the scene itself will be cut from the movie.

I've never partaken of Costco food in the store. They do have good chicken salad that you can take home.

Back from various and sundried errands and whatnot, eating a bacon cheeseburger and fries, picking up no packages and an important envelope, doing more banking, paying more bills and I think I'm done until I start writing the contextual commentary, which I like to do in the evening.

The Mac Mail program was going berserk today, so Apple Care had me do some weird restart to the computer and that seems to have fixed the damn thing.

Our local news just had a woman on for an interview that was a survivor of Columbine, but now lives in Seattle. She said something that is so true. She said that we have always gone to movie theaters because were so safe. I added the word "movie" because I guess lincoln wasn't to safe in a theater.
Icalled my friend Sharry and said that hearing the news about Colorado must have brought back memories of her time performing in OUR AMERICAN COUSIN.

Today I was crossing the street in Santa Monica, which is usually fairly pedestrian-friendly, when I heard someone yelling. I turned to look and saw a young man in a pick-up truck yelling at me, "Lady, get across the street already!" I wasn't walking particularly slowly. But his actions were rather counter-productive, as my turning to look slowed my pace, as I mumbled, "You idiot!" The irony is that I had waited to let several cars pass before stepping into the street. Had I known that The Idiot was turning, I probably would have waited, but as he didn't use his turn signal, I thought he was going straight. If such a small thing as a "slow" pedestrian upsets him, he must be upset most of the time! I see much worse "infractions" daily!

George, do you know if Costco takes requests for new food selections? They clearly buy in very large volume, which gives them clout with their suppliers, and they seem quite customer-oriented.

I have been watching video of the 2nd preview of the original Broadway production of Merrily We Roll Along. I saw the the 4the preview. I then compared it with video of the show after it officially opened. Interesting to see the changes. Although it has been about 30 years since I saw it, there are still moments that I remember that weren't in the 2nd preview or in the version that opened.

I hope it was better than mine, Mike.

I don't know if they take requests. You could check out their website www.costco.com and look around. You might have to go to their customer service desk and ask there. I've never heard of anyone submitting requests.

There's an article today on THE NEW YORK TIMES website about the noise level in many restaurants, bars, and gyms (!) being "potentially dangerous." I never thought about the implications to one's health, only that if I must shout to talk to my companion, it is just too loud!

I feel as if I've just been punched in the stomach. Just learned that one of the interns for the board that I serve on was one of the victims at the movie theater shooting last night.
So sorry to hear this, DR John G.
-
Vibes to Cilla to get the check so she can get her new car!
Vibes to DR Elmore for his move.
SUPER PAIN FREE VIBES for DR TCB.
DR Vixmom you need to stop working so hard!!!
Vibes to each and everyone of you Dear People and our lurkers. I guess we shall have to start to refer to them as DL --Dear Lurkers.
Ditto on everything you said. I like DL.
-
We have a flash flood warning--up to 2 inches of rain expected.
-
Continued (apparently for the rest of our natural lives) moving and carting VIBES for DR Elmore.
Well, God love our DR FJL! He just called me to volunteer to come to Toyland this afternoon and help me out. He and Skip are two of the best.
:)
I hope Skip is already feeling better.
LOL DR ChasSmith.

Good evening all! I am horrified by what happened today in Colorado. My deepest condolences to all who have any connection to those hurt or killed.
-
Rainy, rainy morning here in Conshocken.
I think it's nice that Dunkin Donuts is hiring hearing-challenged individuals. True, my clearly stated order for a large black coffee and two chocolate cake donuts resulted in a coffee with cream and sugar and two chocolate frosted donuts, but that is besides the point, correct?
;D
-
The move took about an hour and 15 minutes. the crew was great, boxing and taping like mad. They ended up with 32 large cartons and it was over.
Our DR FJL was a wonderful help this afternoon and I was grateful for his company and his aid. It was nice to get some catchup time with him. Fred, thank you so much!
I've been home around 45 minutes and I am ready for bed. Tomorrow I shall do little except pack and seal the 18 cartons sitting here going to the office, Sunday I am doing nothing, and on Tuesday we move the new office in.
And I am off to bed.

And I ditto this. :)

Jane, I don't think I explained myself very well yesterday. It was not a matter of being assertive with my doctor. My doctor was in surgery yesterday afternoon, he doesn't work on Friday, and he only works evey sixth or eighth Saturday. There are six other doctors and two PAs at the clinic. If I call when my doctor is not in, the call automatically goes to the triage nurse who is instructed to tell anyone that calls that they need to be seen before anything can be done about their medication.

This bit of information from the shooting in Colorado bothers me: what fool takes a 3-month old baby to a midnight movie?
Maybe one with a baby that can sleep through anything.;)
I only read the headline on that & don't know the full story.
-
If the baby doesn't sleep well how else can a new parent stay awake for a midnight showing.
-
This bit of information from the shooting in Colorado bothers me: what fool takes a 3-month old baby to a midnight movie?
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
I was also rather startled when I read the headline, but then I'm always startled to see babies in movies, especially loud movies.
-
Today, I'm off to get the DP's cousin who is coming in for a few days from Lancaster, PA. We are very excited. She, of course, is in on the surprise party on Sunday. Should be a great weekend. Probably one without much sleep!!!
Have fun!

Oh... :'(
-
Thanks for the notes, all. Jessica Ghawi had moved to Denver about a year ago after living here. Odd thing, according to the news reports, is that she had survived a shooting only a few weeks ago.
I read some of her story earlier today. :(
-

I had the same thought. Yet an ignorant mother who needs some air conditioning or just a change of scenery might. I had a friend who did likewise, but that was 30 years ago, when 20-year-olds had all the answers. Apparently they still do.
There were apparently a lot of kids there, but why would any theatre management allow a 3-month old baby into a movie theatre? I doubt it qulifies as a Child so they're most likely not making money on a seat, they know if the kid starts crying it will disturb everyone else, so WTF?
Whatever happened to the "crying rooms" that they had in all the theaters when I was kid?
? ? I've never seen a "crying room". I've hear about them in churches.

First thing I had to learn whn I moved to the East Coast was that a "regular" coffee meant with cream and sugar.
That was a shock because, to me, "regular" meant NOT DECAF. Now I know what they mean by it, but I refuse to use the term, preferring to describe precisely what I want.
And stating BLACK should be enough whatever "regular" means.
-
BK, I really don't like to see you picking on DR Laura. She's here all the time.
I was just about to say something. :)
-
Went to my doctor for a follow up today. She said I'll be sore and tired for about 4-6 weeks, but that I'll be fine. I tried to work, but only lasted a couple hours and had to come home. About ready to fall asleep right now.
"Only" 4-6 weeks. Your ribs not be as bad as I thought, which of course pleases me.
-
Callie is most pleased that I am home today
As am I - please take care of yourself, DR Cillaliz!
DITTO! And I think canceling your trip was an excellent idea.
-
I hate cream and sugar in my coffee. I would be very unhappy to get that by mistake
That was my reaction.
I hate coffee even with tons of cream & sugar, unless it has enough to call it ice cream.

Outside my front window just moments ago:

Which date? Yesterday? The red one?
Yes. Is it read & blue?

George, do you know if Costco takes requests for new food selections? They clearly buy in very large volume, which gives them clout with their suppliers, and they seem quite customer-oriented.
I don't know if they take requests. You could check out their website www.costco.com and look around. You might have to go to their customer service desk and ask there. I've never heard of anyone submitting requests.
I've never been told that they do, only that they don't always know what will come in.
-
There's an article today on THE NEW YORK TIMES website about the noise level in many restaurants, bars, and gyms (!) being "potentially dangerous." I never thought about the implications to one's health, only that if I must shout to talk to my companion, it is just too loud!
Interesting.
I'm glad the idiot only yelled at you instead of running you over.
-
Who was it that recently purchased EVERYTHING WAS POSSIBLE? I hope you got a good price on your copy. Playbillstore.com has the medium softcover copy on sale for $13.95.
I ordered the paperback for $16.97 ($12.98 + $3.99 shipping). Playbillstore.com would charge $7.95 for shipping. But thanks for the info. :)

I meant on Monday to be assertive to speak to your doctor vs having to make an appointment.

They're on the Down Low. ;)

DR Danise did the new air pan arrive as promised?
-
Jane, it is red and black. I tried to fix the color because it was in the shade and the camera didn't like the lighting.
It is a vermillion flycatcher -- a nice summer bird here if you know where to look.
-
DR Danise did the new air pan arrive as promised?
No. It was rescheduled for next Monday but when I got home there was an email from the contractor stating he wants to come out on Thursday. Now I may have call and see if I can have the AC date changed to then so I can get both done with out missing to much time at work.

I'm the one who had lucked out on a beautiful hardcover copy for practically nothing. Probably from a library book sale, which are abundant in this part of the world. In fact, I'm getting up tomorrow at dawn's crack to go to one of the good ones.

Craig had plans to see DARK NIGHT tonight.
-
Since we didn't hear from Craig today I'm rather sure he didn't find an apartment. I hope tomorrow is his lucky day.
-
So sad about that connection, JohnG, and for all the victims in Colorado.
-
Thank you, Laura, for that brightness in your link.
-
Lovely to see you, Larry. Glad to be of whatever help I could be, and for me it was an added bonus to visit with you and get to see the office for my first time - i guess I'd never visited you there before.
-
Jeanne, sorry that guy was such a nudge, but also glad he wasn't a lunatic!
-
DR Elmore - glad the move went smoothly! Thanks for your help, DR FJL!
-
Sorry to hear that, JohnG.
-
Well, I'm off to rehearsal...I'll just be watching again. It went fairly well last night (although long). There certainly are good actors in the show.
Until later!
-
I've never partaken of Costco food in the store. They do have good chicken salad that you can take home.
I've eaten hotdogs there a lot. They have a big hot dog and drink for like $1.50.
-
George, do you know if Costco takes requests for new food selections? They clearly buy in very large volume, which gives them clout with their suppliers, and they seem quite customer-oriented.
I don't know if they take requests. You could check out their website www.costco.com and look around. You might have to go to their customer service desk and ask there. I've never heard of anyone submitting requests.
I don't have a Costco membership--I just don't buy enough to make it worthwhile--but I do occasionally go there with friends. Virtually all my friends are members. I was just curious.
Here you don't need a membership to eat at the food court. You don't need your membership card to go to that part of the store.

I agree with DR Jane. That was my first thought. Although i wouldn't take a baby to the movies. However here they have movies that are specifically for moms and babys (i guess the babys sleep thru it).
I would imagine the baby was going to sleep through the whole movie. ANd if it woke up the mom would have left. But i also didn't read the story.

DR Elmore - glad the move went smoothly! Thanks for your help, DR FJL!

Just in from one of the food truck parks. A Cooking Channel show called "Eat Street" was filming at the Alamo Street Eat park. They interviewed me as if I were the oldest friend of the owner of the truck, Tapa Tapa. I met him a year ago this weekend and probably a couple more times since, and only for a brief interval each time. Then I had to talk on camera about his food as if I were an expert on it. This is something I generally do only at my keyboard, writing and rewriting until it's right.
But the food was delicious. Rodolfo made an oatmeal cream pie that he topped with peanut butter and jelly, then he added a slab of foie gras on top. It was like a dream treat for someone who's got a bad case of the munchies from smoking a little too much happy stuff.
He also had a great and easy treat to make: Cubes of watermelon and mint leaves topped with Pop Rocks that just sort of dances around in your mouth.
I have to go to filmings on Saturday and Sunday, too. And it's hot. Who knows how much weight I'll gain.

Watching Cristopher Walken in a children's musical version of "Puss in Boots." Very strange, very low budget, but Ann Criswell did the score and it's not bad, just not very well presented.
-
Callie is most pleased that I am home today
As am I - please take care of yourself, DR Cillaliz!
thanks Ginny. I slept for a few hours after getting home from the doctor and then went downtown and had a pulled pork sandwich with some friends. I was worn out and came back home. I've been sleeping a lot this week - 12-14 hours a day. My doctor said that's normal so I feel better about it
-

Glad to hear you got checked out and received good news. Vibes for speedy healing.
thanks. I was pretty sure that I was progressing normally, but decided to check with my doctor before finalizing anything with the insurance co

We don't have a Costco at all

Saw this on DataLounge, and it made me chuckle. We were a little more accepting of TV logic back then, weren't we? :)
"The Weirdness of I LOVE LUCY
I've been putting on episodes at night when I lay down. This is a very weird show. If these were real people, they'd get handicapped parking.
Anyway, one funny thing I've noticed is that sometimes Lucy can actually hide from Ricky in PLAIN SIGHT! All she has to do is put on a hat. Or speak with an accent. In one episode all she had to do was roll up her pants and sleeves.
And Ricky will look right at her and not know its her!!! Yeah, eventually he gets a clue, but stil ... Plus the fact that Lucy believes/knows this will work.
It's so weird.
Any other weirdness? Like the fact that Lucy go out and buy a goat and bring it back to the apartment just for decoration, or that weirdly huge book called How To Keep Your Honeymoon From Ending that was very specific and despite being enormous quickly answered its title in a matter of sentences."
-
DR Elmore - glad the move went smoothly! Thanks for your help, DR FJL!
DITTO!
Ooh, that's so nice, thank you guys for saying that, too, Jane and Ginny. :)
And more thanks. We could all tell Elmore was breathing much easier having a friend to pitch in.

Honestly, I'm relieved. I didn't think it would be this difficult to bounce back, but I'm realizing that I'm just going to be exhausted for a while and need to just take it easy until I'm 100 %. I think it will be better for me to just stay home and watch the Olympics.

Night, all.

I'm rank but I didn't post about it today.

Watched the last two Varg Veum films, both very good. I suppose they'll release the next three at some point, along with the next three Maria Wern films. Still have a couple of Beck TV shows left, though.
