It took forever to get to Toyland: the subway was tied up because of school kids going to the Museum of Natural History and to Lincoln Center. I knew we were in trouble when we were told the next train would arrive in 7 minutes; that meant there was a block somewhere on the line between 86th Street and 242nd.

As a result, because this school activity blocked traffic, at 34th Street the train went express and those of us who get off at 28th had to leave the train and wait for the next one. This old coot is offended for several reasons, the primary one being that these kids ride the trains and buses pretty much for free on our dime and we, who count on the MTA for our travel, are screwed: no seats, overcrowding, long waits. It's even worse on the afternoon buses, which fill up with loud, noisy, often fighting, children heading home.

Title: Re: YES, WE HAVE NO BANANAS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on October 17, 2012, 11:52:57 AM
I don't know if any of you watches "The Voice", but I have enjoyed the audition segments the past few seasons.   Not so much the actual battles once the competition begins...at least until this year.

A week ago I saw a promo for the first battle and noted that two singers I had really liked in auditions were being pitted against one another in a battle round.  Both were on Team Cee Lo (Cee Lo Green).

I wondered why Cee Lo was pairing the two up since I considered them two of his best and he could only carry one forward.  During the rehearsals, the song Cee Lo picked for them was Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love" which he thought suited both their voices.  When the rehearsal began it was apparent that Amanda Brown was going to blow everyone away with her vocal.  Cee Lo then expressed concern about Trevin Hunte whom Cee Lo pegged as the one who could win it all.  Amanda was holding her own against him, and the unspoken truth was that Cee Lo considered Amanda expendable (apparently).  At any rate, the "battle" went down and it was a stunning performance by the pair who complemented one another beautifully.  Cee Lo was distraught and the other judges were poised to exercise this season's new feature -- the "steal".  This was introduced to help further vocalists who -- in such pairings as this one -- deserved to continue on.  In the past, the loser went home...but subsequent pairings would yield singers nowhere near as good as the one(s) who went home.

Thus it was that Cee Lo, because he wanted to be part of Trevin's journey to overcome his shyness and self-doubt, selected Trevin.   All three remaining judges buzzed in for the steal and Adam Levine won the hand of Amanda Brown.

This is the battle performance, which I think is brilliant:

                                                     Vision of Love  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9k7CNeHSB4&feature=related)

The sad part was that Amanda knew Cee Lo had not considered her anything other than expendable when he matched her with Trevin.  He realized it, too, and agonized over his choice.  After Amanda picked Adam to be her coach she graciously said she was sad to not be working with Cee Lo any longer but she felt things happen for a reason and she's looking forward to working with Adam.

Well, speaking of not having bananas...I remembered hearing a small part of this song some time ago and found this on YouTube: 

"I'VE GOT THE YES! WE HAVE NO BANANA BLUES (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtftl0KJnwE)" by The Jazz-O-Harmonists.

It's not the same version as I remembered, but it's definitely the same song.  I also saw that there's a version sung by Isabelle Patricola (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MRtbMmdaNk).

So, in the midst of the stress week over the upcoming job interview, I get an email from my current employer  saying something to the effect that since my last day of employment is Friday, just make sure I fill out my time sheet one last time and it'll be processed next Tuesday.

Huh? HUH??? WTF????

No answer from anyone for hours. My supervisor finally got out of meetings and was shocked and mystified, too.

Then the woman from my employer finally calls back. "Oh, we have the wrong John. Sorry."

That's about it. She repeated it three times. But that was it.

Sorry.

Most the day an extremely long hose connected to a truck has been spraying the planted areas with mulch. 

There was a two hour break for lunch and to refill the truck.  They will probably finish at sundown.  I hope so, we don't want them back tomorrow.

Human.  Old school friend of the DP.  Well, 20 years ago anyway.  Thanks to Facebook, they re-connected - well, sorta - it's a hot mess.  It's one of those situations where it's the DP's friend and I really don't need to be his friend.  But I've been "left" with him since Monday, and I feel my space has been violated, etc... I just don't feel the need to be-friend him.

He's from Pennsylvania.  Broke as anything.  Won't go into SF alone, and didn't want to go when I offered to take him in on Monday.  DP said he'd be fine on his own, and I wouldn't have to worry about him, but he hasn't left the couch since Monday afternoon.  (and eating our food, using our internet, tv, etc)  If the DP and him had a better friendship, I would feel different, but the DP is flippant about it as he's not here all day.  I can tell he wishes he weren't here either.  But since he has no (excuse this) BALLS to do anything about it, we are stuck.  I certainly am not in the position to do anything either, I don't know him and really don't need to.  (I believe I've said that before a few times)

Don't ask me how I know this.

He came out to San Diego for a wedding, and decided to spend a week in SF.  However, that week in SF had to do with someone he met online.  That turned out to not happen at all.  (big surprise). 

He's suppose to leave on Sunday.  I believe he will.  I'm encouraging the DP to have him change his fight to sometime sooner.  I'd even help pay for that change if necessary.

Well, "Dreamgirls" is over. And they botched what could have been some very good things. Anika Noni Rose sings "Ain't No Party" during her audition, but it's not used in the film. Why? Better than any of the new material. Also, they filmed the song between Effie and C.C. before she sings "One Night Only," again a favorite that should have been included.
