Well, you've read the notes, the notes were all about a season premiere, and now it is time for you to post until the premiere cows come home.

I don't remember it taking quite so long, but it's got another forty-five minutes to go - maybe it speeds up at some point.  I thought it took about twenty minutes.  It's only six minutes long.

Hopefully George will stay up a bit longer so he can be the first to watch it.
Title: Re: SEASON PREMIERE
Post by: bk on November 11, 2012, 12:14:52 AM
Geez, it really is slow.  Still twenty-something minutes to go - I guess it doesn't speed up.  I could have easily started the upload at eleven rather than 11:45 had I known this.  Oh, well, I know things now, many wonderful things.

I was waiting to see the episode, but it's not posted, yet.  Hopefully, it won't take too much longer. :-\

According to the upload bar - twenty more minutes.  Stay up!

Just don't understand how it can take forty-nine minutes to upload a six-minute video that's compressed.

Seven more minutes.
Title: Re: SEASON PREMIERE

Four minutes - and no, it never speeds up.

Yesterday DePauw lost a big football game to rival school Wabash....it is the annual Monon Bell game....and Wabash has possession of the Monon Bell for another year.....the score:  23--0.  I am sure Tyler the Tiger the mascot is very sad today.  However, I am sure the partying, which started Friday night continued until early this morning.

Yesterday, I finished the first draft of my 2nd book of Hollywood memoirs, which I am calling LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD.  It contains stories about Rock Hudson, Christopher Lee, Jane Fonda, Charles Nelson Reilly, Janet Leigh, Tennessee Williams and a bunch of other famous folk who I didn't have room to include in the first book.

My wife is currently reading it, and I don't suppose it will be out until the 3rd or 4th quarter of next year.

Had a lovelier than lovely breakfast with dear reader Laura.  We laughed and laughed, and just when we thought we could laugh no more, we laughed again.  We both had pancakes.  She heard me tell our waitress in charming but strong fashion to make sure the chef poured the butter on the pancakes and that last time despite my asking they hadn't.  Sure enough when some other guy brought us our food the butter was on a side - I sent them back and told them to start from scratch and to NOT pour the butter from the cup.  Then I got our waitress who said that whoever the guy who brought the food was he'd beat her to it.  She made sure it was done right.  The pancakes still aren't up to snuff if you ask me.  It was somewhat full when I arrived at eight-forty but I got a nice-sized booth right away.  An hour later, there was a big crowd of people waiting and a line out the door.

That's crazy about the butter.  I thought that was their standard way of doing it unless you asked for it otherwise.

I hope some bacon was consumed.

Actually, what I hope is that I can consume some bacon myself.  Sadly, the larder is empty.  Something must be done.

You could have hidden the biggest offender's until after the election.  I don't know how to hide a post from someone but I do know other's who have hidden a person while talking about a surprise for the them.  Every other fb friend knew what was going on except the one person who was hidden. :)

After your time.  It is where the Hamburger Hamlet used to be.  It was ok at first & kept getting worst.  The last time I was there I only stopped in for a loaf of Challah & a loaf of rye to bring home.  They were so bad I threw them out.

Good afternoon. I'm afraid I'm in a situation which requires and strong well worded email to my pastor about one of our paid cantors.  The issue started this morning in which I did ask the pastor to excuse him from the early Mass we were suppose to do together.  He ended up talking to him, but there is so much more at this point.  I'm going to ask that he be encouraged to move on.  He's been there for 20+ years and I think it's time to move on.  One of the things he said to me this morning was "I cant trust you anymore" - which is unacceptable coming from someone who the people around him bend over backward for him.  I'm just about done.

No i defrosted it. First overnight in the fridge (which did little good). And then in a pan on the stove. It took a while for it to get hot.,

I am waiting for my library to get a lot of new books. IT seems they are slow (not getting them right away). Although I have to go tomorrow to pick up two books that came out in October. There are another two books I really want (one came out in Oct and one Nov). Hopefully soon.

I am home now from a long day out and about. At 3, I met Lynda and Fionnuala for dinner before their flight. They are off to Dublin, and I am in for the evening.

First, muscle relaxer for my shoulder and then the heating pad.

I had some onion soup for lunch which i had frozen. I think that was the first time I had frozen onion soup. It took quite a while to defrost. But it actually tasted pretty good.

I had to read this a couple of times-  at first I thought you ate the soup while it was still frozen!! 

:)

No i defrosted it. First overnight in the fridge (which did little good). And then in a pan on the stove. It took a while for it to get hot.,

I have found something that frozen needs to be left out all night, the frig takes a couple of days.

DR Jane, I did not expect it to defrost itself overnight. But i thought it would at least do a little bit. At least it came out of the container easily. Sometimes that part can be tricky.

Sunday evening greetings!  You've heard of destination weddings?  Well, this morning Holy Nativity in Lima hosted a destination baptism for the grandson of the only couple left from a congregation in Northern Kentucky that recently fell apart.  We had the baby and his parents and big sister, his aunt and uncle and cousin, the godparents, and the grandparents.  We had a nice turn-out of Lima parishioners and a lovely potluck lunch afterwards.  The Bishop and his wife were very pleased and Richard and I are exhausted.

Called our dear friend this morning to wish him a happy birthday.  We wish we were closer to celebrate with him.  His siblings, including Bruce's high school classmate & the soon to be mother in-law of Leslie Odom Jr, were on there way over for a birthday breakfast.  Then they are all going to see the James Bond movie.  It would have been fun.

At first I thought you meant "our friend" as in HHW, and I wondered why you didn't mention their name.  I figured it out.  Birthday vibes to your friend.

You could have hidden the biggest offender's until after the election.  I don't know how to hide a post from someone but I do know other's who have hidden a person while talking about a surprise for the them.  Every other fb friend knew what was going on except the one person who was hidden. :)

People  are living in homes with no power or heat  (14 days now)  and no immediate prospect of any as their houses were flooded

there are huge piles of things everywhere - stuff they are trying to dry out and salvage and stuff that  is just garbage now

we just drove up  and down the neighborhood in the van and would ask if they needed any cleaning supplies - word would spread down the block and people would come  and we would hand stuff out-- they were overjoyed to be given   a gallon of bleach and a clean mop and bucket

when they found out that we also had  contracter bags  they were so grateful - the area this is in is not close to any store s-  many of them still do not have working  cars (as they were also submerged) or they don't have the gas and could not go out and waiting  on gas lines because they are busy trying to get all the rapidly molding  wet stuff out of their homes - also they were afraid to leave thier homes for an extended period of time as  their are looters who are ripping copper pipes out and grabbing all the metal they can  to sell as scrap

they have had to enforce a curfew in the area from 5 PM to dawn to try and keep the looters out -  but now ot seems that soem, of the looters are coming ion  by boat and sneaking in that way (all these homes are on  or just off canals)

I've been back in Fresno for a while (bounced around every few years between here in LA) & I think I want to stay. Been doing my meager part to help the creative community where I can, & finding my niche in it.


What kinds of things are you doing?

George, do you have any desire to see FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at Village?  Matt Posner is in it, if that affects your decision one way or another.

Do you need a driver?  I hadn't thought about going, but if I had company, that sounds like fun. :)

Back at my old haunt (hehe), The Grove Haunt (a seasonal Halloween attraction) in nearby Sanger. Just finished another great season. And I make myself available every March as a minion/volunter-deluxe to the producers of the Rogue (fringe) Festival.

I also have a chanteuse alter-ego waiting to make her debut. I have a couple pianist pals who've made themselves available to work with me. I really wanted to do a Mae West birthday party this past August, but couldn't raise enough money. Saving it for next year, which is her 120th.

Yes, I've got the car and the gasoline, but I do need a driver.  It opened last Thursday, but it runs until the end of December in Issaquah.

I just watched an episode of "Firefly" and Zac Efron played the younger version of their doctor.  And now, Christina Hendricks (from "Mad Men") plays a woman who married (without his knowledge or consent) captain Mal. :D

How cool is that?  How much money do you have to raise?

If she married Mal, I assume she will die by the end of the episode.

Terrific.  We will make plans.  Do you know Vince Wingerter?  He is also in the show, as well as my friend Julian who played Sky Masterson in my production of GUYS AND DOLLS.

Our church  has a paid minister of music who runs our choirs - (adult praise choir, adult traditional choir, children's choir, youth choir, string choir, three bell choirs, and brass chorale)  as well as being our organist on Sundays - but we have no paid singers
Sounds like ours, too. We have a traditional choir, bell choir, youth chimes, youth bells, youth choir, two praise teams, and a number of soloists, but only the paid music director.

I think I need to find a different church.  One with a little more to their music program.

I raised a little under $100. I'm aiming for enough to pay one of pianists, get some appropriate party supplies & prizes, & entice a venue into hosting me. I'm thinking a couple hundred more at the least. I also want to get some performers from the drag & burlesque communities, & I want to be able to guarantee them something. Most likely it will be out of the cover charge. Which I want to be affordable. So the more I can raise, the less I have to worry about it the night of the event.

Oh! And in August/September I organized a mostly successful costume swap meet for charity. I say mostly successful, because I had vendors that just about had more items than there was space for them, but I really would've liked to raise more for the charity. Well, it was good for a first time effort. It will be better next year.

Wow, that is a lot of choirs.

I used Indiegogo, because I didn't want to deal with paypal. I got a couple donations, but I really started it too late.

I had made up a lovely donation letter & form that I was going to send to some businesses, but then got cold feet about asking for money, especially as a relative unknown. I also didn't even really have the money to get them all printed, which was kind of sad.
I started the Indiegogo account & blasted it to my friends for about a month, but that's about as far as it went.
Close to the 11th hour, I got desperate & emailed some of the businesses with the Indiegogo link.
I didn't hear back from one of them.
Which was probably better than getting "Who the hell are you?" but it does make me a little worried about asking them next year. My hope is that it went into their spam folders & that they never saw it. :/

Yesterday, I finished the first draft of my 2nd book of Hollywood memoirs, which I am calling LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD.  It contains stories about Rock Hudson, Christopher Lee, Jane Fonda, Charles Nelson Reilly, Janet Leigh, Tennessee Williams and a bunch of other famous folk who I didn't have room to include in the first book.

My wife is currently reading it, and I don't suppose it will be out until the 3rd or 4th quarter of next year.

Congrats, Druxy!

Oh! And my chanteuse alter-ego's name is Meg West. *chortle*
She's inspired by Mae West (of course), Sophie Tucker, & Ethel Waters.
And to a lesser extent, Marlene Dietrich & Pearl Bailey.

I made her a facebook page here:

Oh, I remembered one other hilarious anachronism from The Girl - "quiet on set."  Note to dopey screenwriter - "on set" is a "now" term - when it began in the last few years I know not, but I loathe it.  They would have said "quiet" or "quiet on the set" but NEVER EVER "quiet on set."
