Hey, this Pacific time zone thing has a few advantages, like making it easier to be the first responder.

On the other hand, it's 4:00 in the morning for me.   Methinks it's time  to quit while I'm ahead.  Good night, all.

Good morning, all! 

The fridge didn't die during the defrosting. It's been a worry for several years, and I will be glad when the new one shows up . Last night my super came in and leveled the stove so it no longer slopes. Yesterday was quite productive.

I need to stop at Tekserve on my way to Toyland to see if they have an adaptor for an external hard drive. Once at Toyland, I will continue the proof on ROBERTA. And that's my day.

I like ED WOOD.  We watched it again a few weeks ago, and still enjoyed it...particularly Landau's performance, and the Orson Welles sequence.

However, I do agree that the movie premiere scenes were a bit much.

And the day turned to crap as soon as I unlocked the door of Toyland: Con Ed has  turned off our power because NO ONE ESTABLISHED AN ACCOUNT.  I spent nearly an hour on the phone talking with Con Ed and with the foundation's treasurer, trying to reach our paralegal who has thecredit card and could repair things easily, and this has been a hell of a bad morning.  Someoe dropped the ball on this account, and I'm not sure who's the guilty party although i suspect I know. When I spoke to con Ed in June, I thought things were settled since their statement to the Packard Humanities Institute suddenly added the new foundation's treasurer tothe address, and some jerk at Con Ed had assured me it was taken care of.

well, the Con Ed jerk was wrong, and I can accomplish nothing till thenew account is established. It's been a waste of my morning.

I know it's one of Elmore's favorite scores from postings in the past, but I didn't know if anyone else liked it.

I remember searching for years for the original cast recording of "Golden Apple," which I found on vinyl the day that I went in for my job interview in Sarasota, Fla. Funny, how on the day that I have another job interview, I somehow land on another recording of "Golden Apple."

I got the job in Florida. Only the good Lord knows what will happen here.

See's Chocolates is opening a store in the San Antonio Northstar Mall (the one with the big boots, for those who know their San Antonio trivia). Not a kiosk, but a full, year-round store. To celebrate they had a party where they gave out free chocolate and told some history of the place.

One bit of trivia was that the chocolate episode of "I Love Lucy" was filmed at See's (I know, it looked like a set to me). But that setup is how they operate. So, they had a chocolate boxing contest to see who could box the most chocolates in the quickest time. I won my division and got to keep the candies, which, luckily for me, were coconut cream, one of my faves.

I never knew that bit of trivia-thanks.

How fun you got to play the game let alone keep the box.  Was it the box you filled?  I would have passed on the coconut creams-glad you won instead ;)

Had a lovelier than lovely dinner with dear reader ChasSmith and Sami and Sarah Staitman and their mom.  The original choice of restaurant was, of course, Genghis Cohen, but the Staitmans had an event Sarah had to go to so we stayed in the Valley and went instead to The Smoke House.

ChasSmith had driven by it but had never been there so it was a perfect choice.  He seemed very happy with his food, too.  We, of course, had the garlic cheese bread to start and it was so popular with our populace that we had to do a second order - the girls actually went batty for it.  I had a cup of clam chowder as did ChasSmith.  I was going to order the combo Louie but they don't do it anymore - just a shrimp Louie, so instead I had a medium-sized cut of prime rib and it was out of this world yummilicious - instead of a potato I had creamed spinach, also great.  Sami had their ribs, and she finished all of them and loved them.  Sarah ordered the Monte Cristo but she didn't like it, so I asked the waitress (a 50 year veteran of the Smoke House) if she could get the small cut of prime rib instead - Sarah had tasted mine and loved it and they are very gracious there.  In fact, the manager came by and said he hadn't been happy with the Monte Cristos in a few weeks and asked Sarah specifically what she hadn't liked and she said the bread, rather than being crispy, was soggy.  The manager was grateful to hear it and said he would make sure the chef knew.

I have never heard of that film, John.

Came and went at the theaters all too quickly. It's about a group of college women and the men who distress them. It is both humorous and serious. And it's very much Whit Stillman. If you ever saw "Metropolitan," "Barcelona," or "Last Days of Disco," this fits right in.

I can't believe I forgot to report!  In a word..."Wonderful" (a Wicked reference ;))!  It was a really good production.  Both the leads were very good.  Dee Roscioli played Elphaba and her bio says that she's, "...thrilled to return to the 1st National Tour of Wicked....She holds the distinction of having played Elphaba in more performances than any other actress."

Washington's governor, Christine Gregoire, was there and gave a curtain speech in support of same-sex marriage.  She signed into law the bill that made same-sex marriage legal in Washington state, but opponents got enough signatures to put it on the ballot for a vote.  Now, even though it looks like there's enough support to pass Referendum 74 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Referendum_74_%282012%29), you never know how it'll turn out until all the votes are actually counted. :-\
